Moar Tab!

[bobross419]

So far I've been able to tab the following:

Orc
Hive
Lair
Bailey
Ice Cave
Snake
Vault 1-7
And... wait for it...
Elf (booyah!)

Almost tabbed:
Crypt (would have been able to do the whole thing, but 3 or 4 packs of skeletal warriors all spawn right next to each other)
Slime (tabbed all the way through 1-6 then got TRJ down to 1 hit before I had to bug out and regroup )

Can't Tab:
Swamp - too much crap gets in the way
Shoals - Similar to Swamp
Abyss - Get on a roll then suddenly a wall gets in the way

Feel the power of the tab!

Elf 5 was epic. Popped a Hero/Finesse with potions of Might and Agility, got in the one tile corridor and TAB! then get zapped by a teleport wand into one of the treasure rooms, go stand by the 1-tile corner door and TAB! then get banished to the Abyss. Get back to Elf 5 and head back to the vault and... you guessed it TAB!

This was cool also:

  Code:

 84026 | Crypt:2  | Noticed Saint Roka
 84041 | Crypt:2  | Noticed Frederick
 84068 | Crypt:2  | Defeated Frederick
 84080 | Crypt:2  | Defeated Saint Roka

Here I thought I was tabbing a pack of orcs. Then I noticed Saint Roka, but I just held down the button of destruction. Also saw a quick blip across my screen that didn't look like an orc or a normal Crypt inhabitant - Reread the message logs and discovered that Frederick got caught in the whirlwind of badassery.

Share your victories with the awesome power of the tab.

What build and gear are you having this luck with?

[bobross419]

TrBe/TrMo. Nothing too amazing about the gear - No major slaying bonuses. Running unarmed with a Large Shield though.

[Grimm]

The characteristic exuberance of the whippersnapper is carrying you far.

[Confidence Interval]

Yet soon you will pass from the whippersnapperish to the sophomoric. There lies your downfall.

[thenewflesh]

Accidentally tabbed hill giant on D:7 as MfGl with 4 HP left. I was just trying to get rid of pack of bats... Turns out ridiculously bad rolls happen to mobs, too.

[Jabberwocky]

So far I've only really tabbed my way to a large number of sticky and premature deaths, I did tab and clear the returning hand axe bailey once as a troll healer though.

[Serne]

I've yet to use TAB even once.

[thenewflesh]

I've yet to use TAB even once.

TAB.

Not even once.

[Blade]

You should tab Vault:8 now.

[joellercoaster]

Weirdly, me too. I stopped twice to pacify shadow dragons. That done (most useful loot was a scroll of blinking, but there you go), now tabbing my way through Elf.

[ilpalazzo]

why don't you guys just watch crawl-videos on you-tube instead...

[joellercoaster]

Tabbing your way through the Orb Guardians? Priceless.

[TehDruid]

After all this talk about the button of destruction, I started experimenting with it and now I can't stop using it.
It works wonder on troll characters, but really, it just makes the early game so much faster on melee heavy characters (and so much more dangerous! ).

Most surprising win: Accidentally tabbed orc Knight on D:8 with a XL:10 or lower. I don't remember what character I was on, but I was not high level or pimped out in artifacts, neither berserking.
He was running around with some orcs and orc warriors in a fortress' periphery, and I didn't quite notice there was this knight with them so I just went ahead and tabbed the shit out of them. Then I proceeded to explore it but there was a mother-f*ing warlord in the middle of the fort! On D:8!

[bobross419]

Was looking for an old post of mine and stumbled across this... so much fun.

[rebthor]

Problem is that you left off "o"

[Blade]

One time I did o+tab all the way through v:8, including tabbing through the vault guards from their center with no stairdancing.

That was a pretty fun game.

[MacChris]

On my first 3-rune win i managed to tab through almosst everything except Vault:8 and the orb chamber

Exactly this, except it was a 4-rune win. Wanted to get the Abyssal rune because it is cake by lategame anyway. MiFis of Oka make great tabbers. Off to try out a TrMo of Oka!

Tab OP, needs nerf ASAP.

It feels good to be mowing these guys down. So much work in my other chars - now all it takes is half a second of holding down tab (and actually realizing that's a unique youre killing)

[Grimm]

Tab OP, needs nerf ASAP.

How would tab be nerfed. Change it to ctrl-alt-shift-tab?

[Deimos]

That's just tedium! Everyone knows you need to nerf things with style. We should strive to give tab a dynamic difficulty system; depending on how tabby you are, tab will have different functions. I.E tab turned into alt+f4 after a while.

Its the perfect fix.

[Jabberwocky]

I just did a very valiant and stupid tabbing effort. I died. I tried to tab tomb 1. Tab is mighty, tab is god, but tab does not compare to smite, smite, torment, smite, torment, torment, smite.

You obviously forgot to cast Silence first.
