CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

Hi everyone, after getting bored of dying stupidly with all of my HEAE and such, I decided to roll a pretty tabby char, and the second DDFi actually turned out to be doing quite alright. Since lately I have seen a lot of Dex based MiFi going heavy armour I said, what the hell, if minotaurs can do it, I don't see why dwarves should not!
So here it is, i basically pump Dex every time, trained both armour and dodging to a decent level untill a scroll of acquirement gave me the a +5,+5 dwarven battleaxe of chopping which has pretty much brought me so far, trained invo and evo for general purposes, then in L:6, Rupert. I hate the guy, really, so I decided to call in a demon ally, and managed to beat him quite easily. And then it happened: he dropped the +0,+2 executioner's axe of pain when I had found like 1 minute before a FRIGGIN MANUAL OF NECROMANCY. Now I'm not too familiar with melee dudes, but I assumed I should stop doing pretty much everything else and just start pumping necro and dump the few ?ew i have on this little baby. Am I right? Also, any general advice is very welcome (as usual!).

Edit: forgot to mention, I have a couple of Books with necromancy spells of course. The problem is, these spells are control undead and agony, and with just a couple of levels in Spellcasting (wich i just got) I don't seem to be able to memorize, what a shame. So, what am I supposed to do? Stick with the battleaxe untill I find a book with a low level Necro spell?

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

Your plate mail is messing with your spell success. Try stripping down and then memorizing. Then you're free to re-dress and play melee a while while you train up necro for extra damage, and work on getting enough necro / spellcasting to overcome heavy armor casting penalties.

...that and lvl 5 or 6 is a tough start for your first spell. Do you have a potion of brilliance to burn?

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

You should absolutely put your scrolls on the exe axe, mostly because it's an exe axe and you can't even count on another being spawned for the game. The brand is a nice bonus but it probably isn't as huge as it would be on a character with a fast weapon who relies on it for damage.

You should get your axes up 26 for min delay on the axe. I don't know what the best point to switch over is, but I've heard from 19-21ish. After that you can raise necro and spellcasting. Then branch out and try to get regeneration castable in plate, as well as swiftness rmsl blink etc.

If you want to memorize agony or whatever, take off your armour and quaff a !brilliance.

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

It is unlikely that you are able to memorise these even with plate armour off. Quaff a potion of brilliance and it will be totally managable. Until then just work on getting min delay.
EDIT: oops ninjaed
EDIT II: A executioner's axe ends at 7 delay just like a trident or scimitar. With appropriate skills it is a "fast weapon".
EDIT III: maybe this helps a little: http://crawl.develz.org/morgues/0.10/El ... 140854.txt - basically the same character type with Earth Magic thrown in and a different weapon class

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

Duh. I thought ev penalties applied just to spell success, not memorization. Memo to myself: next time think a moment before asking somebody's help.
So, used a brilliance pot, memorized Control undead, and started working on both getting to min delay and getting some levels in necromancy. Not only that, I even found a book af death and a couple of nice artifact rings\mask of the dragon.
Just one last thing: what is the best ring to keep equipped in "standard situation", given the +4+5 slaying as an obvious must? I actually am using cTele because of the +Blink gloves, but I'm not 100% confident this is the best choice.

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

I'm going to beat cerebovssquire to the punch and say that ctele is hands down the most powerful non-artefact ring in the game, and heck, it beats a lot of artefacts too. cblink / semi-cblink are absolutely fantastic- much more so than slaying, if you have to make a choice later.

Wear +4 evasion and swap out for cTele when you need to blink. With high AC, +4 EV is better than +4 AC because overall it will result in less HP lost. Swapping a ring in takes less than a turn. cTele is absolutely useless when you aren't blinking/teleporting, +4 EV is useful in nearly every fight and as said, no reason why you can't swap.

+1, overlooked that by mistake when I wrote my post, definitely this one, sorry.

Re: CiP: DDFi of Makhleb, executioner's axe of pain = gg?

If you wear the -TELE ring, do keep the "I can't teleport" thing at the forefront of your mind. It sucks to forget that you can't teleport when you want to read a blink scroll RIGHT NOW, instead of really soon.

Absolutely DO NOT wander around wearing it cursed, thinking "I'll uncurse it when I'm done with the bog mummies in swamp" because that's when you'll get cornered by Saint Roka.
I am not a very good player. My mouth is a foul pit of LIES. KNOW THIS.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
