CIP: DsGl^Qaz w/ Firestarter

[Thalfon]

I've never had a character *quite* like this. Firestarter is hilarious fun, especially when you're a walking thunderstorm of noise anyway. Crystal plate and a brooch of shielding with Qaz for 16 SH reflection. I even have a scarf of resistances laying around somewhere lol.

The game had to have its snark with icy envelope mutation of course lol. I'm basically pretending like that 10 AC doesn't exist. (Even without exploding things, there are just so many fire sources later on in the game, by the time you actually get the mutation....) That said, it'll probably be reliable in one-on-ones against threats that don't have their own fire damage, since firestarter won't melt the envelope until after the threat has died. That said, Qazlal doesn't support one-on-ones so much lol.

Anyway, aside from the hilarity I'm mostly posting this for a couple questions. I've got crystal plate this run, and it's the first time I can recall where I've had it on a character that can reasonably expect to wear it, so I'm not sure - when does Dodging start to become worth training over more Armour & Fighting? With my offence so strong and a relative lack of non-wand evocables I've just been focused on training up defences and becoming a tank (seems wise with Qaz anyway) but I have no idea when Dodging becomes a thing worth training for.

Question the Second is, what's a good time to think about going for Spectral Weapon? Again, never worked with crystal plate, so I lack a feel for how long that training would be. It's pretty late to bother with for 3 runes, but maybe extended? (There is a trove asking for the horn....) Is extended even worth thinking about? I kinda just want to have two firestarters exploding things. <_<

This is all dependent on me not dying to being careless on an explosive murder spree, of course....

Turn off all and get a lot of invocations, like 27 is really good number, because then disaster area overcomes noisy badness of quazal.

Plus Ds +3 Invoc apt plus cool title.

Plus one shoting Gloorx Vloq, Mnoleg and Orb of Fire using disaster area is what cool people do.

No, cool people do this while throwing at them a bread ration, but I agree it's nice with Disaster Area too...

[Thalfon]

Please don't let breadwielding become a thing again. <_<;;

Anyway, took the advice and took Invo to 27 in Depths. Decided to try out Disaster Area on Mara and it completely missed. (It seems to do that a lot.)

Probably going to try my hand at a bit of extended and see how it feels. Been a long time since I bothered with it, but this setup is too fun to finish with just yet.

Edit: Oh yeah. To add I actually started using and respecting Upheaval. Really should've been using that more. And agree, that's a pretty sweet title.
