Need advice on my current run! :)

Hi guys! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on this character :)
I've been playing this game for quite a while and I still haven't won even once. After mourning lots of fallen heroes I got to this point where I'm able to consistnently get my characters to lvl 14/15 and die stupidly in Lair or any of its sub-branches.
Now I think i've played quite well this time and i don't want to screw up :mrgreen:
I'm about to enter The Vaults and I don't know if I'm properly preppared, specially because I've been watching a few videos and I'm starting to think my AC is quite Low. I could equip a Swamp Dragon Armour or something like that but I would loose all the bonuses I'm getting from my current armour.
Besides that, any advice would be nice, I've NEVER come this far or entered The Vaults before.

Thanks a lot! :D

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

Looks pretty solid to me. Vault next.
The shield is very strong, you want to keep that. So you will have to train shields soon for lvl 7+ spells.
Drop Poison Arrow for Conjure Flame, also consider Sticky Flame.
Don't forget the +Inv on your axe.
Be really careful with Vault Sentinels in Vault. Your MR is so low that they will mark you all the time. Try to get more MR.

Good Luck 8-)

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

I would swap the robes for the swamp dragon armour (or possibly acid dragon scales) and then change the ring of poison resist to something else, I'm not sure what all your ring options are because I didn't look closely enough but surely there's something helpful.

Your MR is dangerously low, so that's one idea for a ring swap..
Your AC is dangerously low

It looks like you have some decent weapons, so don't abandon your STR and make an all out caster. I find that spells (besides low level ones) are better tacked on later after you have decent melee and defense skills.

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

For a DECj, a normal shield is usually too expensive to train. So, while you have a good shield right now, I would (eventually) downgrade to a buckler having a good ego (like resistance, MR or protection).

In general, DE of Vehumet should kill monsters mostly with spells before they can even reach you. Freezing Cloud is a great spell in Vaults (and everywhere else). If you want to learn high-level spells, you would probably have to stay in robe or other light armour, but for now you can experiment with medium armour if you like. If you find Ozocubu's Armour, just stay in light armour.

As mentioned above, your MR is quite low. That MR- cloak is not great: Dex+9 sounds great, but isn't that important for a DE. I would ditch the cloak (plenty of potions of mutation to handle the contamination). Try to find a scarf of guardian spirit, or a good cloak (invisibility or resistance or MR).

More generally, you need two kinds of spells. One is your workhorse (freezing cloud and bolt of cold are good for this purpose -- one kills monsters over time, the other is useful if the monster needs to die fast). Then you need one or more spells to handle the things which your normal spells can't. Typically, this is a pure conjuration like Mystic blast, Orb of Destruction, or an Earth spell like Iron shot. Poison Arrow is pretty good, but unfortunately undead are both poison and cold resistant.

I would not bother with conjure flame or sticky flame for now. Freezing Cloud makes them both largely redundant.

Don't forget support spells. Metabolic Englaciation is good. Hexes like Slow and Confuse are cheap to pick up for DE. Regeneration and Sublimation of Blood are good.

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

I am actually a huge fan of Poison Arrow. Yes, it takes a lot of spell slots. But it is just so efficient for one or two-shotting almost anything living, apart from maybe some uniques or a juggernaut I dunno. Worried about vault guards? Every time you get the drop on them (one at a time but still), you can shut them down rather fast and reliably. You don't even have to train Poison to make the spell max power. The power you're at now is pretty strong. Often with the elemental spells, I feel like they are a little tame by late game unless you're almost maxed up. I end up having to fire them off a few times to finish stuff off. If living things get poisoned with the Arrow, they're likely to drop by themselves pretty soon and you don't as often have to sit there spamming the same spell to hit them again.

Conjure Flame can be useful, but it's not as brilliant by Vaults as it would be earlier. Many of the mobs are getting big (and brave) enough to push through it and just keep right on trucking. Sticky Flame is powerful but you don't want to have to actually need to use it in the first place. It's nice to be able to drop it on anything that closes, or if you step off a stairway right into a mob - even better if there is lots of safe room to blink away into after doing so. But I'm with bel on this... A deep elf can often best coast by blasting things at range. Getting into melee is so often dicey, unless you put a lot of training into defenses and then your spells won't be quite as hefty as they could be. I don't play casters left and right, but this has been my experience with the deep elves running Vehumet most of the time.

Be on the lookout for a utility spell that add to your spell attacks. If you see any books you can afford with Isk's Battlesphere, that little "drone" orb will fire a copy of most of the basic blaster conjurations like your bolt attacks (or Poison Arrow hehe). Or, if you can get Spellforged Servitor and keep your memorized spells loaded with those big attack spells, then you will get free attacks drawn randomly from your stockpile courtesy of the servitor. That can mean you just cast Magic Dart when you want to save MP, but the servitor decides to launch Freezing Cloud or a Bolt spell. It's a really awesome service for saving MP during less threatening openings or getting an extra last few bombs launched when you're too low on MP to keep using high level spells by yourself (just don't forget to get yourself away if it's not looking almost over). You can even use both of these spells if you want simultaneously, although setting it up is a bit of a mana drain. Generally one or the other is plenty. I used to love the Battlesphere, but lately I'm much more keen on the Servitor although it's a little slow to train Summonings at the start.

That's actually how i got this far, lol. I used to think casting a spell removed invisibility

You mean I should probably spend some of my LvlUp points into STR or just keep the items that boost STR?

I would ditch the cloak (plenty of potions of mutation to handle the contamination). Try to find a scarf of guardian spirit, or a good cloak (invisibility or resistance or MR).
I'm still inexperienced with Mutations, Can't I just wait till contamination fades away?. If I absolutely need to drink those potions, Are there any hints/tips or should I just consume them till I have some good mutations?
I've got that scarf (Guardian Spirit) But I was afraid to use it since I'm mostly out of mana before I'm even hit once. So I wouldn't know exactly how to play my character. Advice welcome :)

If you see any books you can afford with Isk's Battlesphere, that little "drone" orb will fire a copy of most of the basic blaster conjurations like your bolt attacks (or Poison Arrow hehe). Or, if you can get Spellforged Servitor and keep your memorized spells loaded with those big attack spells, then you will get free attacks drawn randomly from your stockpile courtesy of the servitor.
Spellforged Servitor was offered by Vehumet quite a few times in lots of games but I've never used it because I don't like the Idea of him casting whatever he wants. I'll check it out if I can this time!

Thanks for the advice!

By the way, should I keep training Fighting, Dodging, Stealth skills? What about Armour? Is it Necessary?

Thanks for your answers guys, you're very kind, reading this forum has helped me lots!

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

Removing the cloak will give you high contamination. When it wears off, you may end up with a few bad mutations. You can cure the bad mutations by using a potion of mutation.

Wearing a guardian spirit scarf will drain your mana. Just rest to full again.

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

Both: add some STR in level-ups, and use some STR adding items provided they are good items overall. DE is certainly a nuking race, but defenses are always important. It's very rare that you have a character with such good offense that you can afford to ignore defenses. The best kind of nuking are spells that hit a lot of targets at once, and so there is a relationship between having a lot of targets in LOS and being able to stay alive long enough to deliver the payloads. The reasons why you might back off on STR lie primarily with if you find some very excellent (artefact, etc.) light-weight or medium weight armour combined with not finding any really great weapons.

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

Removing the cloak will give you high contamination. When it wears off, you may end up with a few bad mutations. You can cure the bad mutations by using a potion of mutation.

Another option are potions of cancellation. They reduce contamination, so you don't get mutated at all.

By the way, should I keep training Fighting, Dodging, Stealth skills? What about Armour? Is it Necessary?

Fighting, Dodging, Armour
You should be able to survive a few turns next to monsters and deal solid damage with a weapon, even as a caster. Mainly, because your MP will run out before you can blast everything to death.
Try to find ways to achieve that with minimal xp investement (for example DE: easy to get high EV then add a shield and/or light/medium armor. Or Gr: Innate AC + shield or some dodging. Or Og: light dragon armour + fighting). For Armour you want to have strength>=encumbrance-rating and just enough armour skill to cast your spells.
Try to conserve MP: Mephitic Cloud + hacking with a weapon is way better than 3x Fireball to kill the same crowd. Or retreat into a corridor + Conjure Flame + hack the burning monsters.
Stealth
Like 3 pips of stealth is always nice to have, if you can afford the xp. Easier to drag single enemies away from the mob, easier to disengage.

Btw, if your struggling to get your first win, why not pick an easier combo like MiBe, MiHu, TrMo, GnWz, GrEE?

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

Thanks a lot guys!!
Sadly my character found his death in a very stupid way (got overconfident at slimes and somehow ended up death)... But the good news is I sarted a new character and got to Zot:5. I've just finished clearing the entire floor and I'd like to ask you a few more questions:
-I almost had no troubles at all during this game, even zot was somehow easy,Should i go on exploring other parts of the dungeon such us Hell, Crypt, Vaults 5, Abyss, etc?
-I've read a lot of times that lvl9 spells are not that viable in 3 rune games, but I'm just spamming FireStorm and killing everything on my way with no troubles at all. I am no expert on DCSS so I was wondering if I just got lucky this time or what.

Btw, if your struggling to get your first win, why not pick an easier combo like MiBe, MiHu, TrMo, GnWz, GrEE?
I didn't know there were easier combos lol I just picked a conjurer because I like mages, and after killing something like 100 DEWz, I started trying conjurers. Never played a non-mage character. I'll try those combinations you suggested! Thanks!

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

If you've never won, you should win. Losing a game in Hell or whatever really stings when you could've just gone for the win.

Level 9 spells are fine. I think when people talk about that kind of thing, they're usually talking about the fact that level 9 spells aren't really necessary to win a 3-rune game, which, while true, is largely useless informaion for someone trying to win with a "blaster caster." The best strategies involve wearing heavier armor than you'll be able to level 9 spell in, but really, once you can cast those spells, there's no reason not to. It's just a question of investment and how much risk you're opening yourself up to in the meantime.

Re: Need advice on my current run! :)

In my experience, Fire Storm is often a good idea for DE of Vehumet. Fire Storm is a very good spell in general, but it's very expensive, so it might not make sense for other characters. (Btw, my first win was a DE of Vehumet with Fire Storm too.)

As for this character, it seems mostly good. Amulet of the gourmand is mostly useless, even more so when you have tons of food left. If you have another amulet, like guardian spirit, use it. Training Dodging more would also be a good idea. Btw, on Zot:5, Fire Storm is a fine spell to deal with Orbs of Fire too, even though they're fire resistant. Orb of Destruction is fine too.
