B - a +4,+8 anti-magic katana (weapon) {god gift}
P - a +4,+4 double sword of holy wrath {god gift}
I have never had a anti-magic weapon before how useful is that brand?
I also have some shields of reflection in my stash how good are they? is it worth it tp try to find a single handed weapon for the extra protection of shields?

HaBe,
Short blades 9,
Long blades 8,
Shields 8.
Trog just gifted me the -1, +4 Katana "Jyocyepn" {holy, rF+, rN+, +Rage} (Question - why would Trog gift a +Rage weapon? Is he encouraging me to make it on my own?)
The big downside is that I have to give up my buckler to use it
I'm wanting to transition to long blades but so far my best LB is a +2,+1 long sword of slicing or a +0,+2 scimitar of flaming. EDIT: I just got a +4 long sword of Abomination {speed, rF+, Str -3}
My go-to short blades are:
+3,+8 elven quick blade (I'm hoping to vorpalize it)
+0,+3 sabre of electrocution
So: is the katana better than the quick blade (for demon fights, is it worth unstrapping my buckler to wield this katana? my only other holy blade is a +1 orc falchion.)

Well, if +Rage works like an amulet of rage (and I think it does), using a weapon with +Rage will decrease the chance of fainting after a berzerk and increase the duration increase you get from killing and chopping stuff.

I can't decide if I should stick with the venom one or just go for the broad axe since it deals more damage without having to wait for the poison. (Also I found scimitar of holy wrath, gonna keep that just in case)

Vastin wrote:I have a XL6 TrMo Trog who's off to a good start - 2 rings of evasion +2, good supply of escape and survival items.
But I just found a +4,+5 War Axe of Innocence {Speed, Noisy, rElec, rMagic, EV+5, Stlth++}
The noisy totally cancels out the stealth and then some, but the rest seems amazing for a weapon find this early. The problem of course, is that I'm an unarmed monk - is it valid for this kind of build to just pick up an axe and start chopping, or am I giving up too much to stop using unarmed over the long term?
I just don't know how unarmed progresses through the mid to high levels of the game.

a +3,+1 short sword of speed
the +6,+4 sabre "Hikhar" {slice, Str+2 Int +4}
I'm leaning towards the short sword (I think it does more damage but I've never bothered with the calculations), but the stats on the sabre are rather nice considering I'm only at D:4.
