Again dying at the vaults...

I don't know what it is but all my Wizard characters keep dying at Vaults:8... that or Elf. I've cleared Vaults easily with berserkers but fragile wizards just seem to want to die there.

This time I had a really good HEWz, I had cleared up Lair, Orc, Shoals, Snake, and a good part of the dungeon... I had just killed Mara on Vaults 5, and I was going for Vaults 8. I cleared the vault guardians easily, they're usually no problem at all, easy to lure out upstairs. Then I got to trouble with the tentacled monstrosity, but I even managed to kill it and some other guys, then returned upstairs to rest... then I just kept stair-hopping to kill the enemies one-by-one, and suddenly this shadow dragon shows up that kills me with two blows.

I probably could have even avoided it if I had just blasted it with an orb, but the earlier shadow dragons I fought didn't seem so dangerous... weird.

Here's a morgue file in memoriam...

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

Well, it wasn't so much the shadow dragon who got you as trying to take on a shadow dragon while being pelted by three other fairly serious ranged dudes.

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

Also: You're worshipping Sif; do you not have a source of Haste, Controlled Blink, or Control Teleport? If not, I'd wait on V:8 because they'll come, and would probably have saved you here.

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

My advice is to not try vault:8 without explosive firepower and/or a suite of evasive spells. Also, you should not have been in melee with that shadow dragon. It's also probably best to save vault:8 until you've cleared the dungeon to zot, unless you're a pretty confident tank.

I didn't memorize haste because I still had charges on my haste wand, and most of the time I don't find much use for haste anyway... if there's someone you really need to get away from, blink/teleport usually works better. If you start running away from someone who has ranged attacks you usually just get pelted by them...

I get your point about controlled blink though, next build I'm going to put more XP to transloc. I've played most of my wizards by putting most of the xp on conjurations and air/poison/fire magic to get a good selection of attack spells, but maybe I'm not doing it right... I'm still kind of new to the whole spellcasting thing.

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

Haste is not predominantly an escape spell (although it is a pretty good escape spell)

It's mostly useful because it makes you 50% better at dudekilling

Yeah this. Haste is more of an offensive spell than defensive.

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

V:7 and V:8 are some of my main death zones. That seems to be a point in the game where the confidence curve crosses the character power curve in the wrong direction, and the easy tabbing I've been doing up to that point stops working.

Re: Again dying at the vaults...

Your defenses were very good, but your hp was pretty bad, even accounting for frail 1. If you are stairdancing v:8 with 130 hp, you can expect to die eventually, no matter how good your defenses are. You should have cleared crypt and finished D first for some easy xp. Also, you have SO MUCH air and conjurations, but nothing to use it on except lightning bolt.

I was building up air so I'd get to use tornado eventually...
