YAVP: BaIE^Sif, some thoughts on the new Sif and ice magic
So I have cleared Zot with a Barachi Ice Elementalist / Summoner of Sif Muna, and I thought I'd share the character dump before everything gets mangled by extended.
I quite like the new IE. I've said most of this before, but I find Frozen Ramparts a fun spell (even after the nerf) and together with Ozo's Armour ice elemental magic gets a theme of being the kind of magic that works best if you let enemies get close to you. (This in contrast to fire magic, which generally works best from as far away as possible.) The summons, LOS-wide AOE, and the new range-5 instant kill all add to this theme.
Additionally, because non of the powerful high-level ice spells are dual together with conjurations, Ice Elementalists have a choice in what kind of non-elemental damage to use. In this run I went with summoning, but I think Conjurations, Earth, or even a weapon are equally valid options. I love this flexibility.
That said, I would like some more dual-school spells. The only level 6+ ice spells are Ozo's refrigeration, Freezing Cloud, Simulacrum, and Absolute Zero.
I would recommend making Freezing Cloud Ice/Air, integrating Icicle Burst from bcrawl, and maybe adding a level 6/7/8 Ice/Charms, Ice/Earth or Ice/Fire spell.
I like Absolute Zero (AZ). It is strong, in a very convenient way. It does what I usually use OoD and Icicle Burst for, but better, and with less attention to detail needed. It isn't as good at dealing with certain dangerous situations as eg Firestorm, which is good. AZ also pairs well with Ozo's, where we have Ozo's for crowd control and AZ for the big guys.
I have no insight at all in the effect of the noise.
Hailstorm is rarely if ever worth casting in the early game, because of it's high mp cost. In the mid-game it did became worth casting, when I had 20+ mp. This seems like a relatively easy thing to fix, just increase its damage at low spell-power. I have complained before about Hailstorm not damaging Ice Beasts and Ice Statues. Suffice to say I hate it. You can see a little bump in the morgue file where I had to kill 3 ice statues, and I cast Ice Beast about a hundred times, Ozo's Armour about 15 times, memorised Foxfire, etc.
It was mildly inconvenient that Hailstorm would damage non-Ice Beast summons, and this contributed to my amnesing the spell when I did.
It has been very convenient that damaging summons dismisses them rather than turning them hostile. Only Ice Beasts and Malign Gateway are immune to Ozo's, and only Ice Beasts are immune to Hailstorm. And these weren't the best summons for eg Flying Weapons. So I often summoned stuff to deal with ice-immune enemies and then dismissed them by blasting the whole area with Cold the moment the next enemy turned up. I don't expect this was the intended effect of the summonings change, but it works.
Sif feels like a magician-for-hire rather than The Great Lorekeeper. This makes me a little sad. Contributing to this are the piety-for-kills and the fact your own skill and intelligence are almost irrelevant when using Divine Exegesis. I would prefer piety-for-exploration and Divine Exegesis with a wiz-modifier, but I can't have everything I want
It was funny that miscast effects were a real worry at the start of this game, but now are almost irrelevant. It is partly because miscasts were made more gentle, but I think also because rC+++ really helps with ice miscast effects and my current spells would take a Nameless Horror out without any trouble.
It was nice experiencing what good aptitudes can do for you. After playing a lot of Demonspawn and a lot of bcrawl, it was nice to have 2 level-9 spells castable at the start of Zot.
I think I'll have a go at extended, try out how good Sif is there. I have no idea how I'll deal with Tomb or Shard Shrikes if I get that far. I know I probably have enough xp available to learn another level-9 spell by that point, but TBH I prefer the bcrawl situation where that xp isn't there and extended is shorter.

I quite like the new IE. I've said most of this before, but I find Frozen Ramparts a fun spell (even after the nerf) and together with Ozo's Armour ice elemental magic gets a theme of being the kind of magic that works best if you let enemies get close to you. (This in contrast to fire magic, which generally works best from as far away as possible.) The summons, LOS-wide AOE, and the new range-5 instant kill all add to this theme.
Additionally, because non of the powerful high-level ice spells are dual together with conjurations, Ice Elementalists have a choice in what kind of non-elemental damage to use. In this run I went with summoning, but I think Conjurations, Earth, or even a weapon are equally valid options. I love this flexibility.
That said, I would like some more dual-school spells. The only level 6+ ice spells are Ozo's refrigeration, Freezing Cloud, Simulacrum, and Absolute Zero.
- Freezing Cloud is tripple-school, and deals pure elemental ice damage, so isn't really worth branching out for if you haven't got any prior investment in Air or Conjurations.
- Simulacrum is more of a spell for necromancers imo. I don't like bothering with it if I'm not with Kiku. I'm sure it's a good spell and as I said it's good to have dual-school options, but it's not for me
I would recommend making Freezing Cloud Ice/Air, integrating Icicle Burst from bcrawl, and maybe adding a level 6/7/8 Ice/Charms, Ice/Earth or Ice/Fire spell.
I like Absolute Zero (AZ). It is strong, in a very convenient way. It does what I usually use OoD and Icicle Burst for, but better, and with less attention to detail needed. It isn't as good at dealing with certain dangerous situations as eg Firestorm, which is good. AZ also pairs well with Ozo's, where we have Ozo's for crowd control and AZ for the big guys.
I have no insight at all in the effect of the noise.
Hailstorm is rarely if ever worth casting in the early game, because of it's high mp cost. In the mid-game it did became worth casting, when I had 20+ mp. This seems like a relatively easy thing to fix, just increase its damage at low spell-power. I have complained before about Hailstorm not damaging Ice Beasts and Ice Statues. Suffice to say I hate it. You can see a little bump in the morgue file where I had to kill 3 ice statues, and I cast Ice Beast about a hundred times, Ozo's Armour about 15 times, memorised Foxfire, etc.
It was mildly inconvenient that Hailstorm would damage non-Ice Beast summons, and this contributed to my amnesing the spell when I did.
It has been very convenient that damaging summons dismisses them rather than turning them hostile. Only Ice Beasts and Malign Gateway are immune to Ozo's, and only Ice Beasts are immune to Hailstorm. And these weren't the best summons for eg Flying Weapons. So I often summoned stuff to deal with ice-immune enemies and then dismissed them by blasting the whole area with Cold the moment the next enemy turned up. I don't expect this was the intended effect of the summonings change, but it works.
Sif feels like a magician-for-hire rather than The Great Lorekeeper. This makes me a little sad. Contributing to this are the piety-for-kills and the fact your own skill and intelligence are almost irrelevant when using Divine Exegesis. I would prefer piety-for-exploration and Divine Exegesis with a wiz-modifier, but I can't have everything I want
It was funny that miscast effects were a real worry at the start of this game, but now are almost irrelevant. It is partly because miscasts were made more gentle, but I think also because rC+++ really helps with ice miscast effects and my current spells would take a Nameless Horror out without any trouble.
It was nice experiencing what good aptitudes can do for you. After playing a lot of Demonspawn and a lot of bcrawl, it was nice to have 2 level-9 spells castable at the start of Zot.
I think I'll have a go at extended, try out how good Sif is there. I have no idea how I'll deal with Tomb or Shard Shrikes if I get that far. I know I probably have enough xp available to learn another level-9 spell by that point, but TBH I prefer the bcrawl situation where that xp isn't there and extended is shorter.
