Should I transition to Melee?

Hey guys,

I have a character on the go at the moment. I'm wondering if I should transition to melee? I want to go extended for 15 runes. I've found quite a few +STR items that would complement each other nicely. Add that to some nice randart weapons and I think I could have a pretty competent hybrid. However, I've never done this before... What are your thoughts? I don't need any wizardry items or INT enhancers to cast all of my offensive spells reliably and at fairly high power as it is. I'm wondering if its worth now training to get into that chain mail and use one of the randart weapons instead of a staff? Maybe even change to TSO for extended or something...

My plan originally was to try and learn shatter and glaciate for a laugh and just be pure casting. But those weapons seem pretty handy... And If I can get some AC too? Thoughts? I don't normally play melee guys. Maybe that +7 rapier or the +9 arbalest would be best, due to aptitudes?

Is it worth trying to transition do you think, or should I just keep developing pure magic? I don't want to make my character a jack of all trades...master of none.

Re: Should I transition to Melee?

None of your melee weapons are especially good, and definitely not worth transitioning into melee. That +9 arbalest is good, but then again you already have spells for ranged. Not worth training a new skill for.

Any better helmet, gloves or boots around? Like plain +2. Wear the +5 AC ring instead of rCorr.

Thanks for the advice. The helmet I just swapped for a plain +0 helmet. Thats the only other one in the game. Boots wise again, plain old +0. I do have some enchant scrolls though. Gloves again - just plain ones with no enchantment.

I feel really unlucky on the loot front this game, there just doesn't seem to be anything that synergises well...

Rings wise I'd normally wear the +5AC and I have another +4EV one in my stash. I'd just done slime though so had MR+ and rCorr on. The gloves that have rCorr I didn't get until I'd completed slime:5.

Hopefully vaults:5 have some nice loot in that I can use as a caster, or at least a lot of curing potions so I can unlock that trove!
