[YASD] F*** Erolcha

Seriously, fuck Erolcha. I really really liked where this character was going given the speed at which I was destroying things, even without finding a single piece of armor (other than a ringmail in D:3) or decent weapon other than the +1, +2 trident I was using. Ogres on D:2? No problemo, queue domination. Overwhelming odds? Not on my watch, I'll even that right out. The only mistake I made on this character was getting overconfident that I could take Erolcha. The early petrification had me thinking I should back out, but it wore off before she could do a lot of damage so I decided to try and bang it out, only to die in ~2 hits in melee. Unbelievable.

Note to self (again): Be a coward, especially around uniques.

Re: [YASD] F*** Erolcha

It's best not to run around with rX- anything.
What made you happy today?

Re: [YASD] F*** Erolcha

also, if youre using polearms, i think its better to take off the shield and focus on your polearms skill.
you can always pick up on shields once you reach min delay for a demon trident, which is only 13 skill level :D

Actually it's 14. There's no weapon that requires an odd number of skill to get to min delay since 1 skill level reduces delay by 0.5.

Doh. Definitely didn't remember I had that ring on.

I also probably should've focused Polearms until I reached min delay, as you guys said. Thanks for the advice! I'll give another MiFi of Ash a try once I figure out what to do (and either won or died) with my newest character.

When people tell you "train this skill" they don't mean "train this skill and also a bunch of other skills," they don't mean "focus this skill and also train a bunch of other skills," they mean "train this skill." You shouldn't have focused Polearms, you should have trained Polearms and not trained anything else.


A misuse of the word "focus" by me. When I say "focus" I mean "all other skills off". I realize how this can be confusing though due to the meaning it has in DCSS. I'll try to be more clear about it in the future.

That's pretty harsh considering I'd use "focus" in the same context.
