YAVP! 3 rune confidence booster MfBe
Hey all,
This isn't my first win, and I know 3 rune MfBe isn't anything to write home about, but I'm just happy to have ended the nasty losing streak/attention deficit I was experiencing.
Also I can't believe I beat the game in a little under 5 hours X.X
I don't want to count how many MfGl/MfSk/MfIE I rolled up only to have them all die shamefully by my own careless hand, so I decided to cut out spells and go berserk[er].
This run when incredibly smoothly.
I didn't raise anything but polearms during the early game (with a brief break around level 10 or so to get a couple extra points of EV) until it reached 26. After which point I raised dodging and fighting up to 9, followed by traps & doors + evocations to 9.
My game took off once I got the Glaive of twilight from Troggy.
I think this was the first time ever I got a good orc-slaying weapon before I had done the mines
From there, I think I used brothers in arms all of once, which... has never been the case before and probably won't be for quite a while, but I just never felt threatened enough with all of my awesome big-bladed sticks this time around.
To make a long story short, there was much laughter and pressing of tab, and I would highly recommend this build for a new player who wants to see more of the game.

There were no monsters in sight!
This run when incredibly smoothly.
I didn't raise anything but polearms during the early game (with a brief break around level 10 or so to get a couple extra points of EV) until it reached 26. After which point I raised dodging and fighting up to 9, followed by traps & doors + evocations to 9.
My game took off once I got the Glaive of twilight from Troggy.
I think this was the first time ever I got a good orc-slaying weapon before I had done the mines
From there, I think I used brothers in arms all of once, which... has never been the case before and probably won't be for quite a while, but I just never felt threatened enough with all of my awesome big-bladed sticks this time around.
To make a long story short, there was much laughter and pressing of tab, and I would highly recommend this build for a new player who wants to see more of the game.
