CiP : GnAr^Gozag, classic question

PostPosted: Thursday, 7th December 2017, 08:48

Hey tavern !

I appear to find Gnolls very enjoyables ! The game was overall easy, I acquired this eveningstar by Orc and found shield of resistance at the same time in a bazaar. I mosty used Gozag for passive and a few potions sets.

Now I'm approaching the endgame and wonder about the best weapon to use :
  • Troll pick, the +6 shillelagh "Devastator" {shatter} : how is this weapon ? Can you find any situation where I could use it efficiently ?
  • Rebrand my current eveningstar : I have one scroll and can cast ExWounds against no rN targets
  • Use the vamp broad axe and hope for some scrolls. I feel like this should be a no brainer...
  • Use Mennas' trishula, but it's only +1 right now...
Thanks for your tips !

I would use vamp weapon indeed, it is great with your defenses. You even have dispel undead to complement it.
