YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

My second win! The first one was my DEWz of Vehumet, with which a full-powered Fire storm let me coast through many things. After that I started another DEWz, which I splatted to a draconian pack because I underestimated the importance of having all the resistances available against those bastards. So then I decided to do something different...and thus the Centaur Hunter.

A lot of the game wasn't too terribly challenging. With a ridiculously high armor rating and shield rating, most things couldn't seem to touch me. I left Crypt untouched just in case I decided to do some Extended, but once I'd cleared Zot:5 I decided to just say fuck it and pocket that win.

Having ranged attacks made much of the game very straightforward, as long as I picked my battles wisely. I didn't feel like I made any huge mistakes with that until I got to Zot:5. I forgot to equip my rMut amulet at first against the OoF's. And I will never again underestimate what moths of wrath can do with some Orb Guardians in front of them...but fortunately I managed to escape them long enough to not die.

On what I could have done better, thinking back, I am sure I didn't use Okawaru's gifts nearly enough. I didn't really feel like I needed them though, save for when I was going toe to toe with OoFs and ancient liches. Either way, I'm sure I could have made this playthrough much cleaner. I welcome suggestions, tips, and otherwise!

No kidding. From your action log, it says you used Heroism a grand total of 7 times and Finesse not at all. At least you got some nice gear from Oka.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

Thank you! :)

And haha yep. I ended up using Heroism late (as you can see) in fights that I felt like I needed help on. (And also ones that I felt like I could go toe-to-toe with the enemy. I brought the Lernaean Hydra down with wands because I realized very quickly that it was going to kill me if I kept in melee range)

When I actually decided to try to use Finesse (while fighting an OoF and a few other mobs, even!), my lack of points in Invocation meant that I just failed the invocation repeatedly. I decided then it was just better to kill it than risk getting hit more.

In that game and other Okawaru followers I've had, I seem to have a hard time finding a good balance between using his gifts too little and using them too much (and thus draining away too much piety). Is there a good rule of thumb for that, or do you just learn via experience?

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

I sometimes end up not using finesse at all and use Oka just for ammo gifts(especially needles, those are the most important sometimes). I use heroism quite a lot, though, when I meet something tough. It's a cheap buff and it's very strong and it will always help. For example if you are using a quickblade with haste, finesse becomes useless, because you can't get any faster, but heroism always works. With weapons that have 0.6-0.7 mindelay it's different though, with a bow you get 0.2 attack delay with haste and finesse, that's 3 times faster than normal, so it's really a strongest buff for most characters who are not mages.

No, you don't get the benefits of both.

Finesse (*****) halves attack delay but does not stack with haste or berserk and is blocked by stasis.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

Interesting. Good to know.

I have another question that might be a bit of a derp: I wore shields pretty much the entire way through the game. But this slowed my bow speed significantly. But I wore them anyway because I found some really bamf shields and it went a long way toward making me a fast-moving fortress. Now, once I found that demon blade, a shield was great...but should I have been taking the shield off when I wanted to kill things with my bow?

Heroism is really cheap. Spam it to your heart's desire. I've never noticed it being a significant drain on piety. The thinking, in fact, is that by winning fights faster, you won't lose as much piety to decay.

Finesse is expensive though and should be rationed carefully.

I wouldn't wear a shield with a bow, normally. It's effect is very noticeable. Without a shield, you probably can kill things before they even close to melee range, but with a shield you must have melee'd in the end to land killing blows. Might have been better to go with a 2 handed weapon instead of a shield. Taking off a shield takes too many turns to be practical.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

A buckler reduces your bow speed by 12.5-25%, a normal shield by 25-50%, a large shield by 50-100%, with 0 shield skill it's max reduction in speed, with 27 shield skill it's the min in the range for that shield.

I think that's nearly always not worth it if bows are your primary damage dealer, but possibly if you're a one-handed melee-er and pick up bows or crossbows as a 'softening up' tool it might be worth it (of course slings and thrown weapons don't suffer that problem so it's probably better to just use one of those instead.)

However since Ce can usually just step back from combat and fire more arrows, it's rare that you need the extra defense of a SH value. Shields are generally less worth it for Ce than for other bow-users.

And yes, switching out a shield takes longer than is practical (Actually being able to remove/wear a shield in a very small amount of time would make them MUCH more practical, I don't know why it takes 50% longer to wear or remove a buckler as it does to wear or remove a pair of gloves, and sixteen times longer to wear or remove a large shield than it does to put on or take off a ring while wearing gloves over the top...)

Maybe because switching out shields is kind of tedious?

FWIW, I already find switching weapons to be tedious, even with the ' key. How many times have I forgotten to switch and tried to bash an enemy with my bow or xbow... yes there is a prompt now that prevents that, but extra keys to press is also tedious. Btw, OP managed to bash enemies with his longbow 124 times, I'm not sure how he managed that...

Also, I think shields are kind of ok on melee centaurs with good one handers, like what the OP ended up with (low Shields investment). But otherwise yeah it's probably not worth it. Also agree that shields and especially large shields need a buff in general.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

Interesting. Thanks for the info, I shall remember it for next time!

The bow bashing for the most I think came from wanting to get rid of some plants and fungus, but feeling too lazy to switch weapons...so yep.

When would you say that shields/large shields are worth it?

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

Shields can be ... a controversial subject :D Some people like them, but most good players say not to use them.

Generally, the thinking is that if you happen to have a good one-hander, then you might as well use the other hand for a shield. Good one-handers include the demon weapons (and their blessed versions), double sword, eveningstar, quick blade and maybe broad axe. Some might include scimitar, morningstar, and trident as well. Some brands on fast weapons could work too, like pain, distortion, and electrocution.

As to which shield to use, bucklers are considered good for almost all characters who can use them, in part because it takes so little skill to use them without penalty. Regular shield is a bigger investment, and is generally not considered worth it unless it comes with a useful resist (rF, rC, MR, maybe protection). Large shields are considered too expensive in terms of skill, unless you're a large race (troll, ogre, centaur, naga) who can use them without penalty at 15 skill.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

I see! That makes a lot of sense. So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding. The idea is, I should have been using a buckler if I wanted a shield at all when I was playing this last game. (And even then, maybe not.) When I'm playing a big race, I can go ahead and use a large shield without worry. But, otherwise, I should stick to bucklers (and shields if they're good ones?), but not be afraid to discard them if I find a decently branded 2-hander.

Now, if I find a badass large shield, should I bother with it?

Hey, you won your game, so you made it work. In the end, there's multiple ways to play (and win) crawl. Shields improve your defense even at low skill, but at the expense of penalizing your offense. If you're offense is strong enough anyway, then maybe a shield is worth it.

I'm still a bit bemused that you were able to kill things with a bow while shooting at almost 2x delay, but centaur allows you to kite, I guess. And it could be that your shield ended up saving you from some ranged threats.

Nemora wrote:Now, if I find a badass large shield, should I bother with it?


If you cast at all, it's almost certainly no, since you won't be able to cast with a large shield on until your shield skill is very high. On a melee-only character, even a plain large shield could be a good find early, though in that case I probably wouldn't plan on getting up to 25 Shields. I'd still use it but will ditch it for a good 2 hander. I'm not sure how badass a large shield has to be to make me go, screw that, I'm keeping this shield no matter what, and just hope for a good 1-hander of the right type to show up.

Re: YAVP- CeHu of Okawaru

Henzell says...
You need 5/15/25 skill to eliminate evasion, melee speed, and casting penalties for bucklers/shields/large shields for normal races, 7/21/- for kobolds and halflings, 9/-/- for spriggans, 3/9/15 for nagas and centaurs, -/9/15 for trolls and ogres.
When wearing a robe (or other EVP 0 armour), you need less shield skill to eliminate just the casting penalties: 1/11/21 for normal races, 1.4/15.4/- for kobolds and halflings, 1.8/- for spriggans, 0.6/6.6/12.6 for nagas and centaurs, -/6.6/12.6 for trolls and ogres.
