CIP - MiFi of Okawaru. Help a person who only knows casters
Just a quick post to ask for advice on progressing this guy. I actually have no idea how to play fighter characters. Lessons learnt in a 15 rune win with caster are not very relevant here
My questions are -
I know I am going to die soon as I run into more powerful mobs. I saw an iron golem and trying to evoke my spear from a square away did like no damage. How do I set my character up to be a more powerful killing machine?
I had an idea to get some magic skills going to eventually complete a 15 rune game. I assume that is a better path than trying to get ranged up as MiGl would be more suitable for ranged than a Fighter?
I understand that you really need to either pick the path of a High Armour Class/Medium Evasion or a Medium Armour Class/High Evasion. (Not High Armour Class/High Evasion). I assume High AC/Med EV is more suitable for a fighter? I know my current armour is very ordinary, but I havent really found a better one yet.
Any general tips on how to play this class would be welcome, as my DCSS experience has really always been as a Fire Elementist nuker.
Thanks.
PS. I am hoping that than a MiFi can eventually kill everything in the game if played right?
