lajatang are nice weapon and vampiric is probably the best brand in normal game. I don't know your AC/EV and what skill level has your character - if you feel you can spare some exp, switching to the lajatang could be a good idea, even if you are in mid-game. Btw, what are you doing in Slimes Pit? You still have vault and Dungeon to clear, and both places are generally easier than pit - furthermore you can't get any loot here (expect vault in pit:6)!
Trident are one and a half handed weapon, which means they get horrible penalties if used with shield and not enough skill - The penalty with 0 shield skill is 1..1/3/5 to to-hit, damage and speed for bucklers/normal/large shields, respectively - you totally don't want to wear that shield. If you don't switch to that lajatang, find a buckler and start to train shield asap; however, considering you have already 21 in polearms, it would better to grab a glaive while still training polearms to reach min delay with a bardiche.
About the hat of pondering: while +30MR is really nice, ponderous brand isn't really important for a naga of chei. He is already the slowest creature (at max piety) in all the multiuniverse, slouch's damage doesn't change a lot wearing that hat. Anyway, you shouldn't overlook +10mp and +5 int: together with the +15int bonus of chei, it's easy for a naga to cast high-level spell even in heavy armour.
For example, you should be able to cast, with a bit of training and a ring of wizardry, controlled blink, which is really really really useful for a chei-user. Even c-tele + blink would be better than moving around the battle field at 2.8 base speed, in most situation.
Finally, invo skill affect bend time success rate and the probability the enemies will go to sleep using step from time - two good effects but not really game-breaking. I'd suggest to invest in other skills, rather than pump invo: what you only need is to have a good success rate (under 10%) with step from time, because it's a panic ability and you really want it succeeds when you need it - 10-12 invo should be enough.
screw it I hate this character I'm gonna go melee Gastronok
