Ignition vs Shatter

[Shtopit]

Going for crowd control (i.e. mass killing), which one is better? I have never had shatter online, so I am asking. My experience with ignition was quite incredible. The spell ends up making the most dangerous situations into the easiest to solve, because the most enemies on the screen, the more fireballs will be dropped on them (although I am not sure if the fireballs overlap). However, ignition has troubles with fire resistance (and maybe AC?).
Shatter instead has problems with flying creatures, and I don't think the effects normally overlap, with the exception of brittle enemies. So I wonder if the damage total is really higher than ignition, in normal conditions.

Which one would you choose, with both castable, but only 9 free spell slots left?

[Airwolf]

They're both great. Tough choice.

Ignition fireballs do overlap: it's excellent again dense packs (e.g. Zigs) because of this.

Shatter is excellent except against flying monsters, which is a good chunk of extended threats. Notably, it is great in Tomb because only sphinxes fly and because it knocks down walls giving you safer routes to stairs. Be careful with death curses though: don't kill too many senior mummies at one time with low HP.

shatter

ignition sucks against single targets, shatter doesn't and it also lets you skip large parts of tomb and hell ends

WTF kind of character are you playing where both of these spells are castable and fire storm isn't, though?

[Reptisaurus]

Spell books are weighted now so you only find the more powerful ones on lower dungeon levels/ Which means there's a decent chance you won't find the top tier conjuration book which I can not spell and am too lazy to look it up - I just did a 15 rune Gozag (!!!) game and didn't find the necronomicon 'till the slime pits and never found the grand grimoire (did I spell THAT right?) at all.

It seems fairly common to not find every spell in the game in a 3 runer. I'm currently running a Gargoyle Fire ELementalist around Zot, and haven't found Orb of Destruction yet.

(I'm not sure that's what happened, but it's certainly possible!)

[Reptisaurus]

Also, since we're here - does ignition work against summoned critters? If so... Mmmm boy!

[Shtopit]

I really think it does, although I haven't tried it recently.

shatter

Fire storm is still at 12%. In the meantime, I have learnt both shatter and ignition. I think I will try to learn OoD to have something to throw at Orbs of Fire from long distance. Maybe forget the battlesphere, I never use it anyway.

Shatter on V:5 has been a blast, stairdancing has never been so easy! And Veh gifting your MP back is even better. Now I am thinking of doing Tomb, but I am worried about the weird new stairs.

Should I raise fire magic to learn fire storm? I also have an artifact ring with r. of fire on it.

Should I raise fire magic to learn fire storm? I also have an artifact ring with r. of fire on it.

You're close, so you might as well get FS now. The quickest way to get there is to balance the total XP in Fire and Conjurations. So turn on the cost display in the skill menu and train whichever is cheaper. (I suspect it is currently Fire. At some point it will become Conjurations becore Fire reaches the same skill level, because of the (slightly) different aptitude.)

And Spellcasting too. Since this is a two-school spell, Spellcasting becomes more efficient at building spell power and success when it's cost is less than half the lowest of Fire/Conj. Of course Spc does other stuff, too.

For new Tomb, read mapping on each level. On Tomb:1&2, since you got it, use Shatter (or LRD) to blast walls so you don't have to connect all the stairs on each floor, so you don't have to go 1->2->1->2->3. Don't take the usual stairs for the first 1->2. Take one of the ones in the inner loop: you'll have a 50% chance of landing in the 2->3 section, which only has a few Mummy Priests and no Greater Mummies. Mop them up (probably avoid Shatter in the fight so you don't break open the big room) then Shatter into the big room. If you end up in the 2 big room instead, read mapping and walk/blink to the upstairs: kill as many as you can, then go up, and down to the little 2 area.

You may want LRD to control where you put holes in the walls: you can make holes on outer corners to restrict LOS for mummies coming out from inside.

Spellcasting is this character's highest skill, in the dump at least, so no, not spellcasting.

OK, the game is over! Thank you for your help. In the end, I did not get fire storm online because it would have required a lot of slots that I didn't have (I had learned OoD).

Shatter in Tomb really was a blast. I had some trouble in Tomb:1 because I pretty much called all of its denizens on me while blasting down walls to let them pour all over me I also had not thought that ancient mummies could be that hardy. There is some randomness involved, but they really needed a beating to go down! I read mapping on W:1, had my little adventure, then forgot to buy another scroll and went down in the larger room. I shattered all around, then I teleported into one of the smaller rooms to the side. Frederik also was there, he strikes me as the kind of unique who is too far into the advanced game to be really dangerous. I went to buy a new scroll, cleared what was left of W:2, and descended into W:3. There I blinked twice to the stairs while I cleared the place. I don't know if it was the death curses or lots of smiting, but my health went down very fast. The third time I cleared the place. So this time the gold rune was my fourth rune.
