How do I skill this XL17 MfIE^Chei ?

I'm pretty sure I need a melee skill. I haven't really had to choose one yet. This +9 dagger, 30 Str, and a +6 slaying armor was enough to knock down death yaks at 0 skill. But now it's time for Lair branches. These dang merfolk don't want to just stand under a freezing cloud. They're getting a little hard to hit with the dagger. And I'm running out of MP often throwing icicles.

So.

Do I train Staves and hit things with this staff of cold? I want a bunch of Evo, I'm willing to put points in it.
Or do I train polearms, since I've got that merfolk aptitude? Polearms with Che is a lot easier than other weapons. I don't have a good polearm yet, but I'm sure I will real soon.
Probably not short blades and stealth, right? That would be dumb?

I appreciate the advice, thanks!

Re: How do I skill this XL17 MfIE^Chei ?

I would train 10 fighting before getting anything else. Halfway through shoals is way too late to be at 0 fighting for any combo, especially so for something like Mf where the aptitude is good. Dodging looks a little low as well, you've got a +3 apt there and 30 dex in a robe will give big returns on the investment. As far as weapons go, you can fsim staff of cold against a demon trident once you've got one, but I suspect the staff is better since you've trained so much ice and evo already. I think it'd also be better than the dagger to use unskilled. Stealth + shortblades is not worth it.

Re: How do I skill this XL17 MfIE^Chei ?

The melee weapon of choice for anyone following Comrade Chei should be an axe. No matter how smartly you go about positioning yourself, you will be surrounded many times, and an axe is the best thing to take care of that. Training axes as a Mf probably gives you equal amounts of the polearms skill, so you can use polearms for one-on-one encounters, if this suits you.

Edit: and yes, train fighting, too.

Re: How do I skill this XL17 MfIE^Chei ?

Polearms are very good with Chei, they are especially good to use after opening a door. Mf has amazing polearms aptitude so I would make sure there are no good polearms before considering axes/staves.
