YAVP: MDFi 15 runer of Ash

My first melee 15-runer. Proof that with absurdly good equipment, you can play an absurdly good game. My first acquirement scroll netted me Maxwell's Patent Armor; basically, nothing touched me in the entire dungeon besides a nest of shadow dragons. Add on top of that the boots of running, the fixedart cap, the fixedart cloak, the randart rings, a res mut amulet, and a rod of venom around Lair, and I was set. I only regret never finding a broad axe of holy wrath.

That's the standard game: cutting the heck out of everything in the dungeon, lair, swamp, shoals (without levitation), vaults, and Crypt. I'll admit I had to save a few uniques (Boris, Mara, and Khufu) for later, but I offed them all in good time. Felt good. I also put to rest my two highest level ghosts, one in Zot (slain by an electric golem) and one in Crypts (slain by Trog's wrath). Also felt good.

Then the postgame. Holy hell is the postgame hard for a melee character. I zoomed through Slime with Maxwell's and had no problem with His Majesty. Then, the Hells. The problem with a melee character in, say, Gehenna, is that without holy wrath it takes more than 3 turns to approach and kill fiends (unlike a caster with storms/lcs). Those turns multiply and multiply into smiting, torment, and all manner of craziness that affect melee fighters far more than casters. Needless to say, the Hells were hell. I could only take on Dispater and Ereshkigal in single combat; the rest had to be lured away from their runes like fish. Demonic fish.

Same goes for Pan. I knocked off Lom Lobon and Mnoleg (he needs a special ability, like summoning shapeshifters). Cerebov firestormed me like a boss, Gloorx tormented me like a bro. I got their runes, though, so they both can suck it.

Tomb: The Movie: The Game was constant kiting. It wasn't as nerve-wracking as the hells, but those Grand Mummies can suck down a lot of hp, and fast. Still got that rune, though, my first melee Tomb rune. It was just as hard as I thought it would be. Only 40hp rotted off, though.

Got the Orb without a hitch, met Sigmund on the way back up, decided to disintegrate him.

In review: Ashenzari is a god, he is an awesome god. Couldn't have done it without him. Magic mapping and enemy detection were removed because the devs thought they were broken spells; guess what Ash provides? Dungeon Crawl is about knowing, and Ash lets you know just about everything. So far in my experience, knowing is better than any Trog brothers or Okawaru god gifts.

In review 2: AC has improved, but the bare facts are that melee/casting aren't balanced. If you, yes YOU average Crawl player, want to win the game for the first time, I recommend a conjurator, not a fighter. Melee relies on equipment, and if you don't get that equipment, be it a broad axe or a quick blade, tough luck and prepare to die. More importantly, the unique effects of certain melee enemies(hydra multiple attacks, komodo sickness, snake poison, ghoul rotting, corrosion, trampling, raw damage, etc) affect melee characters far more than spellcasters. I say this having used so many pieces of great equipment. It's amazing how easy the game is if you find great equipment, but for the other 500 games where you don't, prepare to have (relative) problems. If you just want to win your first game, play a straight caster and save yourself the frustration of melee.

In review 3: A book of translocations let me cast apportation in my gold dragon armor. Yoink!

Re: YAVP: MDFi 15 runer of Ash

Grats! Where did the 14 levels in Necromancy come from? A manual? Were you just trying to burn spare skill pool XP?

Re: YAVP: MDFi 15 runer of Ash

Those weaknesses are exactly why I generally start my melee characters as warpers, doubly so if I feel like going with Chei as I did in my most recent game (Just finished earlier today). Controlled blink allows for some amazing mobility in a battle. Won't be able to use crystal plate or GDA, but SDA is only 1 AC less than the latter and has close to half of the penalty.

In complete agreement about torment. Nothing like sitting there hacking away and watching your hp actually go up and then suddenly drop over a hundred hp thanks to that wonderful torment. Or when you first encounter Ereshkigal and he double torments right off the bat and you're left teleporting away in a panic.

Re: YAVP: MDFi 15 runer of Ash

Yeah, the necromancy was off a manual. I briefly considered scumming the Abyss for exp so I could get dispel undead castable in Tomb, but I decided "nah".

Re: YAVP: MDFi 15 runer of Ash

Wow, this was a lot like my MDBe 15 runer of Ash. We both got the Maxwell's, and we both had trouble with the Fiend torment-spam. I probably had an easier Tomb than you did, due to me using Mennas as a portable silence generator.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
