Got quite lucky with 2 early XP cards I got by drawing 3.
Also, I should have likely reenabled sacrificing weapons to get some direct damage going.
Anything else?

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Put dumps in Code brackets instead, it gives you fixed width fonts, which Spoiler doesn't.

I think the biggest problem is trying to do Elf:3 at this level with this character. Stabbing the vault is unrealistic (too much see invis) and you don't have a lot of margin for error trying to straight up fight things. This is extra true because a) none of your daggers are enchanted, b) you're using dagger of speed instead of dagger of pain. A dagger of pain is a great weapon for a SpEn, enchant that sucker up and put a few points in Necromancy.

Stealth seems undertrained and Translocations overtrained. CBlink is a nice spell but SpEn needs it less than just about anybody. I would wear the buckler you have. I assume the reason you're not is the long sword of electrocution, but as a no-skill weapon that's not that exciting anyway.

How did you end up with Oka wrath? I don't see any milestones suggesting that you were following him. Did the altar get destroyed or something?

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

He probably pulled out Wrath card, sometimes you get "wrong" cards in decks.

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Yeah, it was likely Wrath.
Did not wear the buckler because I forgot to put it back on after wear-ID'ing the longsword :(
Fixing the dump now.

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Don't stack deck of summoning or destruction, it's a (big) waste of piety and cards, just draw from those or deal 4 when necessary. Stack only (some) deck of escape - you can also triple draw when you aren't in dire danger.

Your skill training ins't terrible, but I'd probably wait much more to get controlled blink online - as Sp you don't really need it if you play well and with a dagger of pain in inventory not training necromancy has been a big waste. Furthermore, you hadn't any other good weapon - have you fought with that dagger of speed only? For next games, in the case the rng won't gift you again a pain dagger try to use elec/drain/venom/etc short blades.
Finally next time you're surrounded by very dangerous monster, don't drink a potion of curing, but blink and run away!
screw it I hate this character I'm gonna go melee Gastronok

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Blinking was hard because, iirc, I was confused by being overwhelmed with the Wrath.
I did not know pain was so strong (Did not play a really long time, made a long pause since I last did :)), and thought I should use speed for more chance of invis-stabs.
Although, now that you mention it, with most stuff seeing me there, I should have switched to Pain :D
EDIT:
Also, I guess it really killed me that I stacked my decks of summoning (the legendary ones), because when I did it, I did not know that you cannot Deal 4 them.

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Pain is approximately equal to a slaying bonus to damage the same as your necromancy (i.e. your necromancy skill is rolled and added to the damage done) of course it only hits every time once your necromancy is above 8...

As an alternative to Kiku, Logunu's distortion branding is perhaps even more useful on a quick weapon, preferably after you've gotten the abyssal rune (unless you want to re-fight everything you've banished that way. I got tag teamed by Cerebov and Asmodeus once, not fun.)

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

And speed is great for getting extra invis/confuse/petrify stabs, but it's terrible for melee on a dagger.

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

Primarily your mistakes were tactical, though it is understandable that you panicked when a card that should have helped you did the opposite, and did so quite badly.

In terms of strategy advice... Your level is definitely low for Elf, but you already mentioned that as a mistake.

Had you not come across any other charms spells that might have been helpful?

Your randart ring is decent, but why the intelligence +2? Please tell me it wasn't out of concern for hunger costs...

Pain is very good, IF you have high necromancy skill. But the way it works is that it adds 1d(Necromancy skill) to each attack. It doesn't work on foes with any negative energy resistance (including all undead and demons). Nonetheless, it is very good, doubly or triply so on a fast weapon. A highly enchanted dagger of pain, 10 short blades skill, and 12 necromancy skill will mean you can cut through anything living without rN+ (which is most things that are living) like butter. And you can still stab with it just fine and dandy. Your dagger of speed would get in more attempts at a stab; with proper investment, your dagger of pain would hurt enemies a hell of a lot more when the stab does not succeed. The latter is probably more reliable even when you are attacking enemies who cannot see you.

My general Nemelex advice, by the way, would be not to worry too much about trying to get cards of experience or helix. A bit of bad luck on a deck of wonders can straight up ruin your character, and having that happen is actually much more likely than drawing a really bad Wrath card. Learning to use decks of summoning, destruction, and escape very effectively, on the other hand, is what will translate into winning the game with Nemelex. Those are your core Nemelex tools, and they are MUCH stronger than anything in wonder (or dungeons for that matter). Also they won't kill you [EDIT: so long as you don't get careless with destruction] outside of the "Oops, how did this card get in here?" flat chance that applies to *all* decks. (Live by the cards, die by the cards.)

This last bit is not quite right. In older versions, 7 is the threshold where pain applies every hit; further, pain was very recently changed in .13 to apply with probability necro / (necro + 1).

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

yeah, I see now it's a "Necromancy+1 in 8" chance not a "necromancy in 8" of firing. Interesting that it's now never 100% (I haven't refreshed my code base in a week or so, so I'm behind.)

Re: YASD: SpEn of Nem (Elf:3)

The last time I did Elf 3 with SpEn of Nemelex I just used silence. It made the run real easy. You get their attention and line them up, silenced, in a corridor. Since they don't hit hard (the casters), you can melee them one after the other (5-6 at a time). If you get in any sort of trouble, just single draw a summoning card and retreat. Once the entrance is cleared, use invis and go for stabbing expeditions to clear small pockets. Piece of cake. The good thing about silence for SpEn of Nx, is that it doesn't handicap you very much. You still have access to your bread and butter (cards, wands and evo items) while eliminating a big threat (spells/summons).

Of course, all that ackack mentioned is right. You were a bit low XL to wander there. A better weapon and melee skills would have helped you a lot (Fighting 10, Short Blade 15 or so).

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
