I have enough Str to not only wear this, but continue casting Fireball in it.

Well.. that's just about the most perfect thing I could ask for:
- Code:
V - the ring of Fedhas's Hope (left hand) {rElec rF+ rC+ AC+5 Slay+5}
(You found it on level 9 of the Dungeon)
I mean seriously, how often do you see something like that, I was pretty damn happy with my +5 ring of protection and +5 ring of evasion... Now I just need to decide which one I want more in that second slot...

Ugh...found a real keeper of a ring; +Inv, rElec, rF++, MR+. You can't ask for much better than that, IMO (besides Fehas's Hope, haha), whatever sort of character you're playing.
Unfortunately, I'm currently trying to win a Fo of Chei, and this was on D:4 or so. Everything on that ring is amazing for 90% of the game, but on D:4 it's mostly a ring of invisibility; the orc priests and centaurs and what have you don't give a damn what resistances you have. Menkaure got me (I didn't even check because I assumed, correctly according to the wiki, that he can see invisible for...some reason), hence the "I hate it when..." post I made about him and uniques like him. Menkaure is a bit of a nightmare for a Chei-Fo that can't turn into a tree.

The loot from an ice cave on Lair 2 was guarded by a couple of dragons, one of which was kind enough to leave scales. Both dragons got me to within 1 turn of dying, but this was probably worth it, as I'm sure I'll have many tender moments:
- Code:
E - the amulet of Tender Moments (around neck) {+Blink +Fly rElec Regen+ Stlth+}.
This HOFE found a lightning rod earlier, which helped with the dragons, so high evocations mean the blink is quite reliable.
[edit] Nope. Paralyzed by an ogre mage and clubbed to death at the end of Orc, due to having every resistance apart from MR...

Y'know, if it was +2 Swamp dragon armour with identical artefact properties, it would've been way more meh (not to mention +0 randarts happen often enough).
But, damn, I want that armour.

A recent (though short) game, where I played a Demonspawn assassin yielded these 3 randarts fairly early in the game:
- Code:
H - the +10 mace of the Snake Pit (weapon) {drain, rC++ Int+4 SInv}
M - the +2 hand axe of Kismet {freeze, rPois rC+ Stlth+}
n - the +0 leather armour of Cagibbir (worn) {rC+ Str+3}
The mace was an especially nice find, and although I didn't have any training in maces & flails, it still worked well because of its bonus, and I quickly gained levels in that skill once I started training it. I never did use the hand axe, though.

Nothing worse than an artifact you can't even use. I'm playing a Demonspawn Hunter and found this on Level 7 of the Dungeon:
- Code:
Q - the +9 dagger "Killer Bee's Regret" {holy, rN++}
Must be dumb luck to get a holy dagger while playing a Demonspawn character. Though, I did manage to find a decent ring mail, too. It's not perfect but it's better than the mundane armors I've found. I actually found it on level 4 of the Dungeon...
- Code:
D - the +5 ring mail of Patience {MP-9 Int+6}

Okay, this is ridiculous. (in a good way!) Have a DeCj, so it's a bit heavy but...
+7 Long Sword of Action
elec, rN+, Str+4, Int+10, SinvTaken from a gnoll on D:4
That's it. I'm sitting here like, huh but where is the guardian mummy's devastating curse of doom? I guess that'll have to come from the rest of the dungeon random...
Also have a leather with Str+4, +2 Slay, MR-1 for starters (and have accidentally trained too much Armor already).
Not sure how much to train Long Blades when on such a character, but Geez.

Can a artifact be both the best and the worst?

I really would have liked that early artifact, but i really would have liked if the centaur did not have that artifact.
