Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

I have everything I need for the rest of the game in offensive sense (3 enhancers, Firestorm, aux offensive spells ready), but I'm very scared for my survivability. I only very recently even started training Fighting, as I was so excited about getting 9 pips of Fireball spellpower on xl15 I forgot that a random cyclops / yaktaur already can two-shot me. What can you advise in this situation?
I'm planning to get to O: but it has some sort of welcoming party at stairs due to my liberal Fireball use. V: vault was the best one (separated by moat, I just fireballed everything, and I got 0 yaktaurs in it), but overall I'm scared. I think even before Orc I could do well in Spider Nest - is it advised? Shoals are off limits until I get better defenses I think.

Also, should I train Shields? For a Buckler, the investment will be minimal, but I have good spell chances, and I won't be actually using anything high level except Ring of Flames until closer to lategame, so I might as well afford a medium shield.

Also also, I have a dagger with big int bonus. Should I replace staff of fire with it, and just aim for a better armor generally, as it will help offsetting my armor int bonus which I would be otherwise losing?
I think if spell chances will allow, IDS will be a very good choice. Do you agree?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

As you correctly identified, you desperately need more defences.

I'd train fighting to something 9-10, then grab a buckler and train Shields to 4, then more fighting and dodging.

I would stick with light armour. Do you have any rings of protection, or access to Ozo's armour? I would not recommond IDS. There are almost always better choices. A robe of resistance, or archmagi would be good for example.

You should use those enchant armour scrolls on your aux armour.

I would not generally memorise spells that I can't cast (like Firstorm in your case).

You should think about adding some necromancy or summoning spells. Allies can help you escape when you need to. Lightning Spire, Mana Vipers, Shadow Creatures, Animate Skeleton/Dead, etc. are all really useful for you.

But really, fighting first. In my view, you've focused far too much on damage.

Welcoming parties are quite dangerous for you. Depending on what's in O, you should quaff invisibility, agility, haste, etc., before going down.

You'll need to do Spider eventually, but you gotta be careful with this character. There tends to be open space and making a lot of noise can attact more than you can handle. You should consider looking for rPois and killing things quietly initially. Memories Conjure Flame (it's the best spell in your starting book), open with throw flame or even just throwing a rock, conjure some flames. Spiders are stupid enough to walk into them and they don't have much health, so they die quickly.

I would not use fireball that much at this stage of the game, because you are too fragile to deal with a lot of noise probably.

Olgreb's Toxic Radiance/Ignite Poison would be a nice combo for this character. It makes Spider quite easy and is still strong in Shoals, Vaults and Depths.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Your defenses look a lot better when you equip the buckler and use some of your !8! enchant armor scrolls on your boots and gloves. You have so many you could equip the buckler, enchant it to full, enchant your gloves, enchant your cloak, and have 3 left over for when you find boots or a branded buckler.

I don't understand why you unlearned flame tongue. You have 16 spare spell levels. You would have had 15 had you not amnesia'ed flame tongue. Also, why do you have 15 spell levels? Why don't you have sticky flame? When you fight something that is fast, it will sometimes get next to you. Sticky flame is great when things get next to you.

I'd be terrified of both spider and shoals with this character. Spider eats low AC high EV characters that do a lot of noise, but you do have ring of flames. I dunno if that's enough, a single ghostmoth may force you to leave the floor. Note, ghost moths can't see invis, and you have 2 potions. That may look like a better option than shoals. A third of the things in shoals will be using your elf for target practice.

use the XP to first get shields to 4, second to get fighting to 6, and third get DMsl going. It shouldn't be very expensive, and it troubleshoots most of shoals for you. Then go back for more fighting.

Edit: Allies would also help, necromancy and summoning are both great trees. Animate dead comes out fast enough and cheap to stabilize and is great in spider but crap with Ring of Flames. I don't know if mana viper helps enough in spider, vipers see invis but aren't exactly reliable vs ghost moths. I don't see Lighting spire coming out fast enough and doing enough. All of this is against a backdrop of desperately needing sheilds skill and fighting skill.

Edit2: Olgrebs is also great like 4H2A mentioned. Olgrebs + Ignite is a viable progression after you pick up shields and more fighting.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Thank you very much for your responses.

Got Shields to 5, equipped Buckler.
Got Fighting to 10.
Cleared D, O, L, E1.5, almost finished N (finishing rune vault, only 1 ghost moth so far)

Found Amulet of Air and got DMSL online. Using amu for now even with DMSL, because 5EV, and Fireball doesn't care about inacc. Later switch to Macabre Finger with more jewelry found.

Also found Moon Troll armor. Thinking about using it, as it adds me much more edge in fights.
I still have freemium casting from Sif, so 0 SP doesn't mean I'm powerless. Enhancer staff will be swapped for dagger to compensate Int loss from armor. Ring of flames is almost online, will be used as soon as will find any means to counter rc--
What do you think about Moon troll armor? Bad idea?

Edit: Thinking of getting Mana Vipers online, as I have book of beasts. Since I have great hex apts, it seems like the best summon choice.

Also short recap of lacksatives:
No Blink, PoG, rings of protection, light dragon scales, any defensive buffs besides DMSL, most of jewelry, scrolls of identify, scrolls of teleportation (2 for the whole game, I'm not joking, I'm crying).

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

I'd prolly run MTLA, at least until I was ready to cast fire storm. You can run with a worse a fail rate. Don't run dagger. Run enhancer staff.

A note on Deflect Missles- you only need to get it castable at 25~33%. 3% is overkill. You are sif! You have miscast protection.

Ring of flames is 8%! I'd consider it online a bit ago.

ID Donalds shield! Mana Vipers are good!

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

With all my characters that get to this point of the game I really like the Scroll of Immolation resolution to V:5.
In this case, game didn't give me any scrolls, but I think it turned out fine.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Ignition is amazing with a big group of tighly packed enemieson screen because they each get caught in their fireball and those of their neighbors. Against single monsters though, I think it does bit less damage than Fireball for 60% more MP.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Yep, got it hungerless 9 pips with only 2 enhancers already, so will use liberally on packs.
This also means lcs is hungerless, so I guess I am indeed set in offensive sense.
Defenses though are still the same, and I'm not talking MTA, but rather incredibly shitty rings, and lack of aquariums.
Dyrovepreva is the only thing that is actually very useful, that has dropped for me in V vehu hat vault.

I guess topic can be moved to CIP, as I stopped panicking and actually progressed pretty well. Even got back from banishment in somewhat good shape.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Can someone please help me with advice before committing to Extended (pan, hells, tomb)?
I feel like Tomb will be the easiest, because I have ignition and abjuration.
I have absolutely horrible equipment, but I'm caster, and I can technically obliterate everything from LOS.

Edit: Equipment options are actually best in slot available, except for buckler that I changed to one of protection.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Your gear is fine, but you desperately need more fighting. Don't train that last level of spell-casting now.

I think Tomb is dangerous for you, because you are fragile, you don't have good summons and no good emergency options.

On the other hand, Tomb is quite predictable. The easiest way to fix your current problems is to go to the nearest Zin altar, convert, donate gold twice, hang around a bit to let the piety catch up. Then you get Sanctuary, which is an amazing panic button.

If you do Tomb, you need to be careful with death curses. You don't have much health, and if you kill too many mummies in one go, you may just die.

To die in Tomb there is no even need to kill anything. Just get tormented twice and suddenly you have 47 HP left with smiting monsters in view

While Zin at high piety and invo is good, the advice to go Zin abandoning Sif is terrible.

She has one if not the worst wrath of all gods for spellcasters.

  Code:
RETRIBUTION: Reduce penance by 1 extra. 20% INT drain, 30% confusion, 20% divination miscast, 20% mana drain (100 points), 10% cancellation of all temporary magic (including flight!) OTHER: While in penance, all spell casts have a 5% chance of terrible failure (guaranteed miscast, increased severity).


The worst part is the 5% of spell failure, which is a *lot* when afflict *all* the spells. And is not like this character can melee something in Tomb except maybe basic mummy.

The best thing to this char is clear Zot slowly, raising fighting. And then maybe Pan if really want to.
screw it I hate this character I'm gonna go melee Gastronok

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

I was interested to see how the best players manage Tomb as DE with Fire Storm so I checked PurpleRed's famous game.
Basically I am shocked.
  Code:
 12391 | Tomb:1   | Entered Level 1 of the Tomb of the Ancients
 12876 | Tomb:3   | Got a golden rune of Zot


That's less than 500 turns. I almost never spectate game ttys so based on
  Code:
 13316 | D:10     | Reached XP level 24. HP: 133/133 MP: 28/54

  Code:
Action                   |  1- 3 |  4- 6 |  7- 9 | 10-12 | 13-15 | 16-18 | 19-21 | 22-24 | 25-27 || total
       Fire Storm        |       |       |       |       |       |     2 |    68 |   129 |   489 ||   688

lack of necromutation and presence of multiple kills of greater mummies, Mennas and Khufu
I guess he used potion(s) of lignification and healing. Otherwise I have no idea how it is possible.

I agree that the wrath is bad, but with high Zin piety, it is possible to reset almost any fight, multiple times if necessary. I just don't see any other way to get appropriate emergency options quickly. Getting a better spellset would be the other option, including high-level necromancy. But it'll take longer, leaving the character vulnerable in the meantime.

Given this character, I definitely wouldn't go extended in any case.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Went to Pan, got Demonic rune from hellion island (spawned right in the middle of everyone, and just hit Ignition), then tried to find other pan lords.
I think I visited like 18 plain pan levels in a row without a special one, so boredom and relative easiness of dealing with everyone caused my demise from that metallic looking golem thingy that casts damnation, however it is called.

The only thing that could have saved me there is either not opening the door at all (I got bored, and opened it not on full HP), or understanding that this thingy takes several casts of anything I have, and just moving into melee range with it for less damnations in my face. Instead I panicked and read Summoning scroll. RIP. I'm very happy with this run, but fuck me, that was a stupid way to go. Fucking glass cannons. BRB OgWz. Thanks for all your advices everyone! I will git gud-er next time.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Condolences. Hell Sentinels are the toughest non-lords, with high AC and full resistances, but thankfully don't have Torment.

You're right that boredom & not having full HP we're the primary problems.

Controlled blink would have been helpful at the end. The spell is great and not too huge an investment for late-game DE, of it had dropped. Scrolls are good, but you're not carrying any: were there none left in the game?

Scrolls of holy word are strong. Beyond the damage, they used to slow monsters susceptible to holy, but I think that effect has been removed, so that scroll was probably less useful than casting LCS.

Deaths like this are why Zin was suggested (not that changing was necessarily a good idea). Sanctuary or Imprison would bailed you out for a small chunk of piety (and maybe hunger?), i.e. essentially no cost reset buttons. Recite is free and, at high Invocations, has a decent shot of paralyzing, confusing, or even destroying the Hell Sentinel, which would have been a great move immediately after opening the door.

Reading teleport just after opening the door was probably a good move in any case, but especially if you had cleared much of the level.

Again, condolences. I hope this doesn't come off as hectoring. I've had tons of stupid deaths and continue to do so regularly. I was just trying to help you avoid them next time.

Re: Got far with DEFE, am strong, but very scared.

Hell Sentinels are pretty tough. I've been caught out by that in several occasions. I don't think moving next to it would've been necessarily better. Iron Shot is still scary, and they hit pretty hard.

In your particular case, summoning would've been good as your first move after seeing it, then you could create distance by swapping places with your summons. Damnation requires line of fire. This is also why spells like Butterflies, or lightning spire, etc. are amazing.

Another option would've been to read tele, hope the sentinel casts a spell, and then keep closing the door until tele kicks in. You might've landed somewhere dangerous of course. Passage of Golubria might've been an option too.

In the end this character was, as you said, a glass cannon. Enormous killing potential, but low health, mediocre defences and virtually no emergency tools. It doesn't need to be like that. Next time, you could choose to train a bit more fighting, get some (good) summons and pour the rest of the XP into emergency options like Borgnjor's and Controlled Blink. Even ordinary Blink is good.

Good luck!

Hahaha, nice joke!
Full game of Sif, and I got my Blink somewhere in Pan. Didn't even learn it because didn't have spell levels.

I think that's probably the issue. Sif is just really lacklustre. If you can't even rely on getting the best spells, then what's the point?

Infinite mana before necromancy? After a full game of caster of Sif, I really think that Kiku would've been much better.
