Ozo's is such a pain in the ass

I have a DECj with two competing armour kits: Robe MR+ alone gives 15 AC 26 EV, with Ozo's gives 25/26. A +7 ring mail {rPois Str+4} gives 24/24. I have jewelry MR+ coming out my ears to swap to. I wore the ring mail through Swamp and Snake for the rPois, but now that I'm ready for Vaults that's no longer important. To be perfectly honest I want to stick with the ring mail just because it is such a colossal pain to have to cat Ozo's all the time! You'll see in the dump that I haven't cast it many times; most of that is choosing the rPois, but for the times I've been in the robe sometimes I'm choosing not to cast it for popcorn, and sometimes I'm just plain forgetting it when I ought to cast it. I just didn't like the hassle. The ring mail seems so much simpler--but is it worth the -3(AC+EV) on a fragile race?

Here's the dump, which has me in the ring mail so you can see the spell failure with the heavier kit.

Re: Ozo's is such a pain in the ass

Given that repeatable spell being cast like Stoneskin have been removed to make the game less repetitive, I guess Ozo's is somewhere next on that list..

Re: Ozo's is such a pain in the ass

Ozo makes your character move slowly while active. So preferably you need some way to dispell it (flame tongue...), and it is important to switch it off (or not switch it on) when you want to move.

I myself would go with the ring mail because I tend to forget to switch it off when it is important, but I am lazy.

Also this character is ^Dith so flame tongue costs more than the usual small HP loss.

Re: Ozo's is such a pain in the ass

For dispelling ozocubu's armour to be beneficial, you need to take more than 10 steps right after. Until you have taken those 10 steps, you've made your retreat slower, not faster, by dispelling ozo's.

Re: Ozo's is such a pain in the ass

If you're in a situation where your life is threatened by an extra 1 aut delay per step, then I'd strongly recommend the use of emergency consumables.
