Does it mean you vote for "Only if I have no other options"?

I guess it means "Only if I have no other options". Panlord can block exit from Zot/Depths and CBlink is uncontrolled so cannot be used in open terrain.

no.
So how do you avoid being attacked in melee? Random blink?

I dont.
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 13:50I am surprised. You don't like gambling with EV but you do like gambling with paralysis 
It's a good idea to have melee on naga indeed because it can always run out of MP.

Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 14:07I dont like gambling, so i plan to handle the worst because, as you may agree, its not 100% avoidable.
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 14:36So how a NaBe would kill a panlord?
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 15:30Avoid like the plague. It WILL drop paralyze/silence/glaciate plus any number of other nonsense on you and then your 400 hp is not going to save you.

By grinding what? Items? It's not like NaBe needs more XP in 3 rune.
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 17:42Everything, grind yourself out of Trog while you are at it.

Abandoning Trog in 3 rune game just because of potential pan lord during orb run? No way, Trog's wrath is much more dangerous and is guaranteed to occur at bad timing.

Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 19:14I'm not sure what's going on here but it's not about meleeing panlords anymore.
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 19:31Oh but it is still, so let me cut the drama and ask the thought provoking question: What do you do when you find out the pan lord is not chaos branded?
Re: Meleeing panlords during orb run
Posted: Sunday, 8th January 2017, 19:41Well, it's the orb run, so there is no reason to fight stuff unless it kills you while you move away from it (damnation).
Can pan lords still have distortion brand btw?

2. Throw net on adjacent panlord while standing adjacent to stairs,
3. Step on stairs,
4. Go upstairs. Adios!

They do, and when they do its safe to say its THEM who decides if you are getting into melee or not.
