Re: CiP : DDBe, jewellery...

Besides those three I don't see anything else that you should buy. Maybe the artefact ring in case you can't really find a source of rF, but I doubt that's gonna happen.

At least not now. You'll rarely come across any mutation-inducing monsters at this level.

Re: CiP : DDBe, jewellery...

You could do a fight simulation in the wizard mode.

Although I just realized I don't know how one would do that in webtiles...hmm

Re: CiP : DDBe, jewellery...

The second axe is better because you can enchant it up to +8 too and electrocution is better than poison vs most monsters.

Re: CiP : DDBe, jewellery...

I vote for Elec too :
Poison is not really useful in melee for a fighter (especially a berserker). There are creatures with rPois- (particularly in the spider's Nest) , but most of them are squishy anyway, and a exec-axe is one of the most damaging weapons, so they won't die because of poison most of the time...
And there are relec monsters, but they are much more end-game ones, and you can find other weapons before Zot ...

Re: CiP : DDBe, jewellery...

Elec is roughly equal to +12 damage enchantment on it's own. Poison *can* be used effectively on a melee fighter, but it's like 1 extra swing to kill something vs. walking away when it's almost dead, which is tedious (Although it might save you taking a small amount of melee damage) And again exec axes do enough damage that it's just almost silly to stop whacking things when they are almost dead just to avoid taking one (ish) more attack.

Overall the elec axe will be better in nearly all situations.

Re: CiP : DDBe, bless weapon

Got 3 runes, converted to TSO (Trog still upset...) and got full piety. I now can bless a weapon, but which one ?

I can either bless my exec vamp axe, or a crossbow :
  Code:
c - a +1,+7 dwarven crossbow of flame
 Z - a cursed +3,+9 vampiric executioner's axe

This is the crossbow I'll use if I bless the axe :
  Code:
i - the cursed +10,+11 crossbow "Klete" {speed, rC+ MR++}

I have a good number of steel/silver/penetration bolts

You can't bless your randart xbow. Vampiric axe is the way to go, although if I had a vampiric axe in the first place, I'd not have left Trog and just won.

Re: CiP : DDBe, bless weapon...

I'd bless the axe, that speed crossbow looks great even for me and I hate speed.

Swiftness, Repel (or deflect) Missiles, Blink, Controlled Blink, Phase Shift, maybe Silence (tomb only).

I didn't mean to bless to randart one but the flame one, randart is the one I would use if I bless the axe.
Vamp axe becomes useless in extended, no ? That's why I dumped Trog...

Thanks, I have this other randart... Better than the speed one ? (Btw why do you hate speed ?)

It's still excellent in slime (and zot) and amazing in zigs but otherwise, yeah. (And If you for some reason are planning to go conquer zigs then bless the elec axe).

Indeed, Zigs are an option (one available on D:5).
Should I worship Trog again after blessing my weapon ? Or go to Makhleb ? Or stay with TSO for Hell/Pan/Abyss ??

Re: CiP : DDBe, bless weapon...

I hate speed because it's more keypresses and you get more hits that feel bad. I would use the elec crossbow over the speed one.

Stay with TSO for extended.

Got it ! Won't the elec brand affect silver ammo ? (I should use those against demons no ?)

Re: CiP : DDBe, bless weapon...

Demons are not especially vulnerable to silver. That's "chaotic" monsters. (See silver bot entry for details.)

The brand of the ammo takes precedence over the brand of the launcher, so you could easily use your silver ammo with any launcher. Launchers of velocity increase damage by 20% without overwriting the ammo brand, allowing you to stack damage increases. Launchers of speed affect the amount of time per shot, so that "stacks" with all kinds of ammo too.

I didn't mean to bless to randart one but the flame one, randart is the one I would use if I bless the axe.

Sorry, I misread your post. Vamp is less useful in extended, that's true. I was saying that if I as a DD had a vamp exec axe under Trog, I would not have even considered doing extended; I would have torn through Zot and won the game.

Re: CiP : DDBe, bless weapon...

I finally made it, another 15 runes !

Some things about the game :
I entered a first Zig in Pan, but with no intention to finish it, just some loot and XP. After the 15th rune, I entered a second one on D:5 and wanted to know how deep I could go. XBow + bolt of penetration made great job here. I had blessed my vamp axe and that was a mistake : next time I have one and want to clear Zig, I'll keep it, leave TSO after blessing a weapon and go for Makhleb ! I left at level 18 after having hard time on a yaktaur/grand lich level (they summoned multiple fiends who tormented me :( )

I found more than 10 !cMut before entering extended : that is pretty unusual ! But it allowed me to be less careful in Slime for example.

I found a lot of manuals (spellcasting, charms, hexes, transmutations,...)

It's the first time I ever find Wyrmbane : funny thing, I found it in a Zig floor along with a Polearm manual, and next floor was a draconian one !

Told you so (well, at least the first part about which weapon to bless, the second part was assumed) ;) If I'm going zig hunting I get the weapon blessing from TSO and then switch to Makhleb (usually that is). Vampiric + Blessed combination takes care of pretty much anything. The only dangerous zig monsters they don't work on that I can think of are OOF (fire levels) and electric golem (air level).

Anyhow, congrats on the 15-runes!

I wasn't sure to go for Zigs when blessing the weapon, but I had at least 3 exec axes and in extended ?EW are not rare... I'll know it for next time !
