YAVP;First time poster, first 15 rune!

[the_clanless]

Hello all! so, I had to tell SOMEONE who cared, got my first 15 rune Ascension! Woohoo! Not sure how to attach morgue files the way I see other people doing, but my 7th version 12 character went all the way! First time ever storming hell! Yay!

If someone lets me know how, I will post morgue if anyone cares. Naga gladiator, axes and armor and invocations to Chebriados, lucky purchase of a Necronomicon led to my discovery of Necromutation as the answer to the powers of hell! Woot!

EDIT thanks for the tip, put the top bit in. How much is worth posting usually? do people care about the messages and such?

If I never hurt anything that's alive with offensive necromancy, am I still evil for being a master necromancer?

Hello all! so, I had to tell SOMEONE who cared, got my first 15 rune Ascension! Woohoo!

Congrats!

Not sure how to attach morgue files the way I see other people doing

An easy way to get to know the way other people doing is to just hit the quote button. So if somebody attaches an image press quote at his post and you'll know how he did it.

[That Other Guy]

That's really cool, I've always wanted to pull off this build, I just never could get past the extended with it. Congrats on the win, man, we're proud of you.

[nordetsa]

How do people win with Na of Chei Early~mid game must be hell if you can't run from centaur and such.

[the_clanless]

Well, I actually have an easy time mid, early is the only hard part. I use the heck out of poison spit, it is useless (unless you get cloud breath which I did) late game, but early game it is a great opener. I shamelessly go for gladiator over fighter just for the nets, which are also great emergency buttons. As for centaurs, if one catches you at range early in the open you are toast, but if you can get to slouch, which isn't that hard because EVERY kill is faster then you, you just slouch centaurs to death. My big success came in abusing the HECk out of slouch. Be unafraid to blow all your piety if you run into something nasty. Once you get constriction, it is pretty awesome. Slouch is my go to. You can't see it from the build, but I was already running pandemonium before I branched into magic. Invocations is just an awesome skill, slouch and the slow blast are basically your only two spells, but they are unbelievably good on everything in the game but statues and plants. My main problem was getting to 27 and dying to hell and torment spam from demons. Once I figured out how to use necromutation, shazzam! woot! Also, -2 isn't pleaseant, but it isn't a killer, I was dumping 60-70% of my exp into defensive skills almost the whole game. Get your armor and dodge up to take advantage of the huge dex boost chei gives.
