CIP: MuWz of Gozag wants to mass zig

I'm trying to do an infinite zigging guy, similar Ultraviolet4's series (playlist at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 2whzbOh5if); maybe do the thing where you try to get every unrand. I had been getting by with mana vipers, spectral weapon, and a demon trident with 6 (or 10) slay, but I'm feeling squishy and not ready for extended. I've cleared out Vaults, Crypt, Elf, Slime, Zot up to the lungs, Hell Vestibule, and Tomb:1, (Tomb:2 I had to immediately run; I don't have the AoE for all that nonsense), so I'm forced to go into extended now for more XP to get spells online, and I'm not sure what to do.

I have several armor choices:
+6 fire dragon scales (worn)
+2 robe of Vines {NoPotionHeal Regen+7}
+2 robe "Hikudeps" {rF++ Int-3 Slay+4}
+5 robe of Night {Dark MR+ SInv}
+2 robe of the Archmagi

I guess I've sort of settled on FDS because the AC+EV is so much better, but I'm not very happy about:
1) how far am I from the zigging AoE spells, especially in FDS
2) passing up a cool robe of Vines NoPotionHeal mummy synergy
3) how much the game has stiffed me on enchant weapon and enchant armor scrolls.
4) complete lack of branded shields or large shields

  • What should I do next?
  • Is my skilling dumb?
  • Am I correct to target BVC and Ignition?
  • Should I cut some more spells?
  • Should I just go into Abyss, hang out in :1, and farm XP/scrolls?
  • How do you play crystal ball of energy and/or staff of Wucad Mu when you don't have clarity on your mummy?

Re: CIP: MuWz of Gozag wants to mass zig

Quite lucky to get the staff of Wu :)
It seems funny to me that you trained your spellcasting skill much higher than the skill in any particular spell school. I guess it's because you're a mummy.

I'd be tempted to go with the following plan:
    buy Dragon's Call
    Switch to Ash
    Kill stuff with summons + staff of Wu (heavy armour is not required)

Ash gives skill boosts + clarity. The downside is you have to build up piety first...

I belief the staff of Wu can be used with impunity in Hell, so long as you make sure you can safely go back via a portal if you get confused. I've never been able to test this though.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
