YAVP: DEWi of Vehumet (15 runes + ziggurat)

This is my second win after a very, very long absence. The first one was back on version 0.7. That's partly why it took so many tries-- I kept NOT being prepared for how deadly the Tomb has become in the meantime. "Wait. Why am I taking so much damage in lich form? Bennu? What's that?"

This character is exactly what it looks like. Deep elf? Check. Wizard? Check. Poured every single last point into Int? Check, check, and check. Worshiping the god of destructive magic? Oh, you'd better believe it.

This was an experiment to see how well an extreme high-int build would work, and it is fantastic to have that much power and that little spell hunger. With focus, a little luck, and Vehumet's bonuses, it doesn't really take long at all to get Glaciate up and running. And even before I maxed out Spellcasting, I was casting it with zero hunger cost.

My strength, on the other hand, was 4. Which was a bit of a problem, because it seriously limited my options when I came across an artifact quicksilver armor with rElec and rPois. Great AC, and just the resistances I needed to free up some other slots... provided they also gave at least 4 or 5 points of strength, so I could still cast and dodge. That low strength screwed me over other ways, at times. At least one previous iteration got the wasting mutation, took a couple of minor hits, and suddenly had 0 strength. Ah, good times.

Still, once I got Glaciate, Necromutation, and Controlled Blink up and running, there was very little that could stand in my way. The diciest moment was a hell effect in Tartarus that summoned yet another Tzitzimitl... right alongside a silent spectre. And silly me, I brought along a staff of power, a staff of energy, a staff of cold for when I actually want to do damage in melee, and an artifact dagger that I only brought along for the rN+ in case I needed to leave lich form. Also a wand of iceblast. For those of you keeping score at home, exactly none of those items will damage cold immune enemies worth mentioning. Oops. And that's when that crappy artifact dagger saved my life. Thank Vehumet for +Blink.

I was really tempted to try another ziggurat, and see how hard that +1 is, but I decided not to tempt fate. It took me over a month to get back into things, and now that I've finally got all the runes, I should really just take the win.

Re: YAVP: DEWi of Vehumet (15 runes + ziggurat)

Congrats!

Silent spectres can be scary on this kind of character and +Blink is a great solution.

Zig 2 isn't much harder than zig 1. I don't think I really notice them getting harder until at least 5 or so. Oh, you have a decent shot to die in any of them, to be sure: Pan lords (especially paralysis from chaos-branded melee: see also Eldritch tentacles, apocalypse crabs, giant eyeballs), holy (daevas' smites), mummies (smiters), insect (entropy weavers' corrosion and ghost moths: use Invisibility for the ghost moths and rCorr, if possible, Discord), and even orc levels (moths of wrath + juggernauts, stone giants, and orc warlords) being the most dangerous.

Ignition is extremely good. Tornado, Firestorm, and Glaciate are very good. Shatter and Discord are good.

Scrolls of fog are good.

Medium armour, large shields, and axes (Arga!) are good
Mahkleb becomes almost necessary for healing after a few zigs (but Zin is possible due to Sanctuary and Recite is amazing).

Give it a shot sometime!

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
