[YASD]DsFE ^Mak - I should've already been dead
Hi Everybody,
this is a weird one.
After splatting a ton of Ds meleer I rolled a magic user. Before I realized what was happening, it turned our this guy had spirit amulet always on due to a mutation. I started to believe that keeping investing in magic would have lead me to a quick dead and started to hibridize. Problem is that I suck and now, in Lair 2, I don't know what to do after raising Fighting and Dodging to 10 and a bunch of magic skills to 6 in order to cast sticky flame.
I've found a magic rapier that has freezing brand (good in lair) and the singing sword (meh...). I think I should start traning a weapon (maybe short blade that only needs 14 points with the rapier? nothing better showed up so far) and keep raising dodge and go light armor in order to dodge blow and keep my magic pool undepleted, but I don't know if I should aim for better spells in the long run or start considering this dude a meleer (maybe a stabber, given the rapier, the robe with +stealth and the magic cloak?).
Any suggestion from the skilled players (and also from the unskilled, every opinion is welcome
)?
Thanks in advance
