YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

So here it is - after losing my last SpBe to a Zot:5 summon storm, this time I left nothing to luck a prepared myself better. But let's go from the start.

I had a lucky early find - amulet of guardian spirit. Spriggans being fragile as they are, this amulet brought me a few extra hitpoints (well, a few - 32 in the end :) ).

I had quite a bad luck with gifts in the beginning, receiving the first gift as low as on D:9. But then the usual Trog's gift rain started at a steady quick pace, until a quickblade finally appeared somewhere in the beginning of Lair. With that I had no problems with hydrae. In fact, I don't think I was ever berserking since Lair :).

Upon reaching 15 in Short Blades, I turned them off, to transfer more points into dodging. This turned valuable, as my EV reached as high as 48 :). There were also way enough experience to boost my Fighting up to 21 - higher than both SBl and LBl, which I started training later on.

I took my usual three-rune branch order: Orc (left early - two orc sorcerors means trouble for an XL9 char), Lair, down the Dungeon to Vaults entrance. Now what? No rPois, but I still braved Snake, and Shoals right afterwards. Next stages: Vaults down to V:7, Crypt, Hall of Blades and Elven Halls.

Down on Elf:5, Trog finally fully appreciated my genocide of those little spellcasters and granted me the +4,+11 demon blade of Absolution {god gift, elec, +Rage rPois rF+}. While a +9,+8 qblade is quite a fine weapon, the demon blade took my damage output to a whole new level - I two-shotted orb guardians, four-shotted ancient liches and was able to beat the fiery crap out of the orbs of fire before they caused any serious harm.

After Elf I just blasted through Vaults:8, found a wand of hasting and felt I was ready. Zot:1-4 were a breeze, and with a bit of care, none of the Zot:5 monsters were making serious problems.

And suddenly, there I was standing on D:1 up-stairs, knowing that I can add a seventh notch on my keyboard :) .

A spriggan anything is pretty great if you ask me. I won with a spriggy crusader over the weekend which was a fine showing of royal dungeon beatdown, my easiest melee win by a long shot...there isn't anything the little buggers can't do.

Re: YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

I'm a bit curious as to who exactly said they're a horrible mismatch? I think it was in the thread at some point? I'm way too lazy to actually look for it! Anyways, congratulations on your win. My SpBe keep dying due to random huge monsters cornering them and then beating the snot out of em but even then most survive a LOT longer than most of my other characters (seriously, on average my conjurers would die around DL 2-3 while my SpBes clear those out and ALWAYS make it to the temple safely)

Re: YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

I think it was more a comment someone made about SPBe not being a game recommended class, which for a spriggan, they should all be recommended.

Actually, I've seen two threads emerging:

- Spriggan anything is pretty good
- Anything Berserker is pretty good
- .: Spriggan Berserker should be pretty good.

First, thank you :).

My strategy was pretty simple - beat down everything I encountered. Of course, I was very careful about that, luring the enemies into a corridor so I could fight them one on one. Draconians and Orb Guardians were a piece of cake, I could take on five or even six of them in quick succession without having to retreat.

If an ancient lich or an orb of fire appeared, I inserted another two points into the strategy - lure them out of the whole half of the level, and haste myself. Then I was fully able to beat the undead/fiery crap out of them :). I had to be very careful, so that no other monsters were in sight at all.

In the end, I got a few bad mutations, so I just ran to my stash of potions of cure mutations :).

I was also lucky to have stairs close to the orb chamber, allowing me for a quick escape to heal.

Note to self: Always have means of haste when coming to Zot:5.

There was a post in the "Horrible mismatches" topic saying that SpBe are too squishy. Well, they surely are - if allow them to be squished. No later than by the Temple they start to have a fairly easy time, as they almost can't be hit, and their high MR helps too.

As an advice, Spriggan anything should never get cornered. Your movement speed is higher than everything (except bats) until black mambas and anacondas show up - always remember to use this speed to your advantage.

He means "your movement speed". That's what you should use.

...who never eats and gets endless Trog gifts from all the unneeded corpses. :D

The other interesting thing about playing a non-caster spriggan is skill management is almost inconsequential. SpEn's seem to require a lot of skill micromanagement, whereas a SpBe pretty much only has to remember to turn off your weapon skill or stabbing when they're high enough. Heck, until you max dodging, you can almost get away with ignoring the skill menu. Unless you decide to go into shields, you don't even need to victory dance! This can feel like a massive relief after playing a string of management intensive casters.

Also: Spriggans are good evokes, which can replace your need for magic once you find some good stuff. A wand of haste, and a rod with repel missiles are my personal favorites. Rods with abjuration are also reasonably common, and help ensure you never get surrounded.

I've played a KoBe before and he got me into Zot for the first time.
Is it pretty much the same except for Hunger is more of an issue?

Hunger has never been an issue, really. Even if you get down to Very Hungry, a simple fruit can kick you up enough to allow you to berserk and still remain satiated after that. And once you get to the hive you'll never be bothered by food again (and won't need it anyway, since by that point you are not berserk since nothing can touch you anyway). The main reason, as already explained in another thread, for playing a SpBe are the gifts. Since you do not eat corpses, everything goes up to Trog and gifts start raining at such an absurd rate in the mid game, I've had to make stashes only for god gifts, different from the stash for weapons I've just found. Well that and using Brothers in Arms.

Re: YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

Well, looking back on this game, I see that I did not berzerk a single time past Lair. Trog's Hand was not used at all and Brothers in Arms were used very rarely even in late game.
I think that next time, I may follow this game's branch order except Crypt, then go to Slime, clear Zot but not touch the Orb, ditch Trog for The Shining One - and try to get an SpBe all-runer :).

Sounds like a plan!

Re: YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

This combo is working pretty well for me. Unlike most melee builds in 0.7, I regularly get to Lair with this (and, of course, once I get there with any build, my deadliest opponent is that notorious unique, Teh Stoopid). Find an early sling and some ammo and you fill in the ranged attack hole that most Berserkers have.
You fall off the wall. You have a feeling of ineptitude.

Get your EV to 40+, grab some Haste - and you don't even need ranged attacks at all. Such EV can be reached approximately by Vaults:8, with maxed Dodging.
Before that, I tend to rely on wands.

Re: YAVP - Who says that SpBe is a "horrible mismatch"? :)

gb: Nice job anyway, and you surely learned your lesson. Keep up the good work, and you're bound to get that Orb out in little time! :)
... and forgive us our YASDs,
As we forgive our developers,
And lead us not into the Abyss,
But deliver us from Sigmund,
For Thine is the Roguelike,
the Orb and the Victory,
now and forever.

Get your EV to 40+, grab some Haste - and you don't even need ranged attacks at all. Such EV can be reached approximately by Vaults:8, with maxed Dodging.
Before that, I tend to rely on wands.


Thanks. Two questions, though:

1) Does it work that well in trunk/0.8? I'd hate to develop a good strategy only to have the next version blow it all to the Abyss.

2) Best source of haste for a Troggie? It's no problem with my usual Spriggan builds (Enchanter/Stalker/Warper), but when you don't have spells...
You fall off the wall. You have a feeling of ineptitude.

1. This YAVP comes from a trunk game - this should answer your question :). Some of the orbs of fire and ancient liches fell without harming me at all.
2. This can be quite a serious problem - potions of speed are not common enough to be a reliable source, and wands of hasting are even more uncommon - you may not find one in the whole standard game.
It may help to use scrolls of acquirement to obtain wands - there's a 30% chance of acquiring one when all other types of wands are indentified (less when there are some unIDed).
Without Haste, you can still zerk - but be extremely careful to do that. You don't want to have your rage wear off with two orbs of fire adjacent to you.

I figured wands of hasting would be the most reliable, if you could obtain one. As far as berserking goes, the whole point of this build is that you've got a berserker who doesn't actually need to go berserk all that often...
