YAVP: DsTm^Oka, transmuter with infinite rampage (5 runes)

I have a pretty good transmuter going, but he's in a spot of trouble because I just found the following item:
  Code:
the +3 pair of seven-league boots (melded) {Rampage+∞}.
An enchanted pair of boots which grant the ability to take strides of incredible length, as long as the wearer is advancing bravely into combat. They allow the wearer to travel as far as they can see in a single direction directly towards a foe, although it becomes impossible to remain stealthy while taking such strides.

Base armour rating: 1

If you remove this armour, your AC would remain unchanged.

This ancient artefact cannot be changed by magic or mundane means.
You found it on level 15 of the Dungeon.

Trouble is, this item looks really fun but it doesn't synergise with my character (I can't use it when I'm using a form), so I'm tempted to start playing suboptimally :lol:

The character as a whole has been rather lucky with mutations, and is building towards StormForm with some air/hexes mixed in. I'm very committed to being a transmuter, with more Int than Strength, and massive investments in UC and Transmutations. StormForm and StatueForm are in shops, but BladeHands and DragonForm aren't.

I'm actually hitting a bit of a wall at this point, having finished D/L/O, now needing to go into a rune branch or Elf. I got my but kicked in Snake, but managed to get out alive using a blink scroll and some potions.

Any advice on how to best enjoy this character?
Currently my best ideas are to keep going with buisness as usual, or to train Air to 11 wield a wiz ring and buy StormForm. That should get the fail chance below 30%.

BTW, I am enjoying the fact that BladeHands was removed from the book. I'm now actually using both SpiderForm and IceForm, whereas before there was hardly ever reason to use either. Though it does make the current phase of the game (where IceForm is slightly underpowered) slightly too hard for enjoyment.

Edit:
I just bought a book of Transfigurations in Snake:2, and now have access to BladeHands, DragonForm & StormForm. Eeger to torture me with further choice paralysis, the game just gave me the choice between
  Code:
The +1 pair of boots "Hijimud" {rPois Regen+ Str+4 Int-2}

and 840 gold, via a scroll of acquirement. I know, I have no reason to complain ;)

I think I'll be using BladeHands + Ramapage for a while, just to experience the new artefact.

Re: CIP: DsTm^Oka, transmuter with infinite rampage

Wow, you have Powered by Death. How does that scale together with Wereblood?

Re: CIP: DsTm^Oka, transmuter with infinite rampage

I'm getting very good mid-fight health regeneration. I hadn't even thought about the Wereblood change, but you're right it probably helps. Other than a couple of fights where strong enemies were overwhelming me (the entrance committee to Snake standing out the most) I haven't had to heal very much after fights, and haven't had to break up packs very much either.

Re: CIP: DsTm^Oka, transmuter with infinite rampage

As an answer to my own question: StormForm is awesome!
Having Oka & Powered by death probably helps it a lot, but quite regardless the sheer rampage is very fun.
Infinite Rampage was decent, but BladeHands simply wasn't cutting it.

The only unfun thing about StormForm are the miscast effects -- permanent mutations simply aren't a fun 'punishment' for using Transmutations at 30-40% fail rates.
Fortunately I got the miscast chance down into the low teens, but there still doesn't feel like there is any *guarantee* that I won't get malmutated by miscasts.
I look forward to trying out the new level 8 Air spell (Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling).
