CIP VpEn of Wu Jian

I'm still trying to figure out Wu Jian. It's convenient to be able to stab from one square away (even though it wrecks my ability to make potions of blood). I understand that moving around gives me a Cleaving-like effect, while still giving the Stabs on disabled monsters. Also, I'm getting the vague sense that moving might still be better than tabbing, even when fighting solo, although I'm not sure exactly how. I literally never use the activated ability or wall jump though. :(

I've been using the dagger of chaos because of the free disables, which is especially cute when I'm snaking through multiple monsters and triggering multiple procs. Also, if I accidentally haste a guy, I can usually just Blink and Yara's, which is a cute combo. But I've also worked my Wyrmbane up to +13 and am skilling towards mindelay with it.

I'm curious what people would do with skill and weapons from here.

I'm particularly interested in advice on how to handle high MR targets, which seem to be increasingly common. Can I expect better results if I boost Hexes more? Lots of elves and the like have single-digit success rates on Ensorcelled/Confuse, which I can sometimes work around with Mephitic Cloud or Dazzling Spray or lucky chaos procs. But sometimes I run into a monster like brains or eyes or peacekeepers that are seemingly immune to those AND have high MR, and I get in a sticky situation. I'll end up having to blow a TP more often than I like. And I have absolutely no plan for OoFs.

Re: CIP VpEn of Wu Jian

Wall jumps can cause distractions which can give low level stabs, in addition to letting you reposition and doing damage. Serpents lash gives you two free movements, that is to say two steps that take no time at all, which can let you stab from further away, or escape or any number of other things. It is really powerful.

Both of those are worth using (wall jump is free so use it as often as it is helpful)

The best hex-y/stabby solution for high mr stuff is to not target them directly, but let their low mr allies take them out, if you can confuse a cloud of chaff, the hard to confuse targets will get smacked around by them, while being unable to attack through them. Another option to branch into are summons or necromancy, allies provide some shielding (although they will die very quickly) and also can distract enemies giving you some stabs.

Ultimately, though, your most reliable option is going to be to develop a solid direct source of damage that doesn't require stabs, frequently that means branching into two handed weapons or conjurations depending on what is avaliable and matches your skills.

Chaos daggers are pretty fun and effective, but there is a non zero chance of them causing your death. So i would probably seek out and use something effective that can't ever kill you, even if it isn't as amusing.

Re: CIP VpEn of Wu Jian

Thanks for the response. I guess I'm sort of getting the hang of how wall jump works, although I don't understand the "why". As a source of distractions, it seems remarkably weak, like 10% rate.

But for a specific example, right now I've got a juggernaut waiting for me at the entrance to the Depths, and all my confuse tricks seem useless against him, or at least, he never got confused by any Meph Clouds in the one attempt I made, and his HD is too big for Dazzling Light. Am I supposed to try to might/haste/heavenly/wyrmbane him, or are you suggesting I go to crypt or abyss or slime or something and full on get Necromancy or Summoning or Conjurations up to some large before coming back? The latter seems unviable. I guess I might be able to do that before OoFs in Zot:5 though.

How would you break V:5 with this toon? Or maybe I should get my third rune somewhere else....

Re: CIP VpEn of Wu Jian

As you reach into depths there are more and more monsters who you simply cannot deal with by hexing them. You should be developing countermeasures. Eventually you will need to have an answer for OoFs.

Juggernauts are vulnerable to a source of allies, you have 2 sacks of spiders and 2 phantom mirrors.

If you can't break into depths, crypt is a natural play. Nearly everything in there is vulnerable to hexes.

Re: CIP VpEn of Wu Jian

I got Wyrmbane up to +18. The process was easier than I thought it would be; I pretty much hit storm, draconian, shadow, shadow, golden right after dinging 12 with regular schmoes. It's so effective, I wonder if I should ever bother trying to stab anyone any more, although I do have a +6 QB and +1 QB of protection (with +8 or +14 slaying!) if I decide I want to.

My amulet choices are insane:
{Faith +Inv rF+ Str+3}
{*Rage +Rage MR++ Int-3 Slay+6 *Curse}
{Spirit rElec MP+9 Str+2}

The latter is interesting because I have all this +MP gear that's ~almost~as good as what I'm wearing. In total, I could have +33 HP!
+3 faerie dragon scales {rElec MR- rCorr MP+6 Str+4 Stlth+}
+0 pair of boots of Jeam {MP+9}
