CIP: Halfling hunter - becoming hunter again

[Nightblair]

Hello.
Can you please help me to decide which skills should I train? This looks promising, especially after I've found that Annihilator mace. That's a great weapon, even when I have nothing in mace's (probably not worth it, due to very bad halfling aptitude).
I have to note that I've never won the game, only got orb of Zot once.
(I am not planning to go to Shoals, I've only looked into it, which is still probably bad idea)

Thanks.

[Midpoint]

First off, drop your enchant II and cure mutations off somewhere safe. You'll be sad to lose those. It's up to you whether to use the enchant II on your evasion sling, or save it for a sling of velocity (vorpalize a normal sling). I usually go for vorpal sling myself. You should consider going back to focusing on being a hunter, given your current skills. Oka is probably going to drown you in sling bullets, which is fine. Use them to kill things.

I would turn off everything except Invocations until Finesse is usable (8-12ish, depending on what you feel is reliable enough). It will nearly double your damage per turn when you need it. Also don't be afraid to spam Heroism; the skill increases improve your weapon damage, accuracy, and your defensive skills. Next probably slings to 15 or 20, eventually 27. You don't need any more stealth. Ever. (unless you change your build to a stabber, which you probably shouldn't). Dodging continues to be useful until 27, turn it on whenever you feel like it (though 15 is a good place for now until you get invocations and slings up). Oka will give you a better short sword eventually, likely a randart sabre or quickblade. You don't need any more short blade skill if it's a quickblade. Sabre is min-delay at 14 skill. Neither is a priority. Devastator does a lot of damage, but it's slow. Most of your killing is still going to be at range. Devastator can bat clean-up if you want. Use heroism to reduce its attack delay (I've never gotten it, is it loud? that could be an issue too). Fighting is low priority compared to the rest. Do you have any better spellbooks? Utility spells like swiftness, blink, apportation, flight are nice to have eventually and are pretty cheap XP-wise on a robe-wearing halfling.

[Nightblair]

I have stash in Lair:2 so I continually store there precious potions and scrolls. Is the cloak of preservation protecting the scrolls and potions to some extent? From last game I remember some protection, they could be still destroyed but chance has been lot smaller.
About Okawaru gifts, is there any chance how to hint him what I need? For example it is true that if I have sling in hand then there is bigger chance that next gift will be enchanted shots? (Skills requirements besides now) What gives better chance for weapons? That quickblade sounds promising.
Yes, devastator is slowly worse and worse weapon (and it is waking up every monster in screen when it explodes), that's the reason I am still training short swords so I will be prepared to replace it with some nice blade.
No luck with proper spellbooks, only high lvl stuff and book of fire magic.

EDIT: grammar

[nago]

Preservation save items 90% of times, so there's still 10% too much risk for very prized items like cure mut.

Okawaru's gift are somewhat weighted by your skills: with your skills is high probably you'll get either short blades or slings as weapons gift - you may get a quickblade at some point. For ammo, you need at least 8 point in the weapon skill, and to carry an appropriate launcher - but I've never heard that wielding it increases the probabilities! In any case, Oka and Trog are very generous in ammo dropping, you shouldn't never run short of ammo.

Anyway, short blade, even qblade aren't great weapons to deal direct damages - the further you go down in Dungeon, the less they're suitable to do so, because enemies will have much higher AC and short blades have low base damage. Unless you a qblade with a very good brand (namely, pain or elec - flame, ice and vorpal are crap on them), you should stick with slings to kill enemies (as I said, you shouldn't have problems with ammo) and, if you want, switch to melee weapon only to kill not-dangerous enemies.

Oh, about Devastaror: I've never had the chance to try it, but shatter every turn on a enemy sounds totally awesome, at least. Against flying/levitating enemies is probably useless, otherwise I suppose it can be a great weapon, as long as waking up all the enemies in the floor isn't a problem.

[pratamawirya]

You're playing 0.10 and not trunk, so you should save your enchant weapon scrolls for ammo and not launchers. Eventually you can get nice artefact slings (which you can't enchant), and you should enchant your ammo to make them stronger and not taking up too much space in your inventory.

[Nightblair]

Ok, looking good so far, I've proceeded as you hinted. Had few close calls, but luck is with me and I survived, yet.

Slings are more powerful as they have been before due to skill boost, but it still is not enough. I've recently got god gifted sling of speed +6 +11, is this an ok weapon, or should I keep looking for vorpalise scroll to enchant some sling to velocity and then boost it with my plenty enchant weapon scrolls?
New +6 +7 quick blade from acquirement scroll is nice, however the Destroyer is still much much better weapon.
Also I've found spellbook with summon butterflies and blink, that is just great. Invested into magic skills to have magic online with 1% failure.
Oka gifted me also fire dragon armor, but I think that troll hide armor is better shot, at least it is not so hinderable.
I am also investing into shields to make able to wear properly the +2 shield of reflection which Oka gifted me.
Also stealth would need a boost, I am waking lot of monsters even on long distance.
Is there error in my strategy? Also, should I try to fetch first rune from Snake now?
Is fighting really useless now? What about HP and damage bonus? Looks like I need both now.

"the +6,+11 sling of the Mushroom {god gift, speed, rElec rPois}"

You're talking of this insane sling, right? speed is one of the most prized ego to have - it doubles your attack rate, lowering your damage only by 10%!
I've never had the chance to try a sling with it, but on other launcher is outrageously powerful - and this artefact has +11 to damage too!. Unless some other real good player suggest to get a sling of velocity (but I can't really see any reason to do so), wield that sling and annihilate the dungeon.

For the shield, reflection isn't a real good brand: first of all you need to block the projectile, then you need to hit back whoever shoot you. Surely, it's funny to kill centaurs in this way, but a shield of resistance or even protection is better. Furthermore, halfings need 21 point in shield skill to eliminate their penalties which means a lot of experience - totally wasted, from my point of view. You should keep any good buckler you can find, and invest the xp you save in other, more useful skill - charms, for example: swiftness + repel missile is better than a shield, and haste is better than a +3large large shield of resistance

About Snakes: you should be able to clear it: naga are easily kitable, naga mage shouldn't be a big problem (a bit more mr could help, though. with "very resistant" I fear you could get abyssed, if you're really unlucky). You should be able to kill greater nagas too, but be careful (poison arrow does insane damage). On Snakes:1-4 the biggest threat are surely anacondas, because they're faster than you and they can constrict - which means a lot of damage. Fortunately, you have blink, so in the worst case you only need to keep blinking and shooting around - killing them shouldn't take too long.

Speed isn't that great on launchers. Speed is great for large weapons from lajatangs to giant spiked clubs. Velocity is better, especially on slings. Still, pretty nice randart and there's no reason not to use it for the time being.

I'm pretty sure that naga mages do not have banishment. They can teleport you though, which may sometimes land you in a bad situation.
