Troll Monk of Nemelex advice?
Posted: Sunday, 27th February 2011, 16:01OK, so I am having way more fun with this build then I expected. Thanks Grimm, tormodpwns, yukuai and onetruefelid for suggesting it! It sure is a good break from trying to get my AEs up and running... 
Glark's gotten lucky with some drops (despite by belliaching, the RNGs finally came through): inviso cloak, rage ring, amulet of faith(!), storm disc, party trick and starter fire book, rE robe.
Re decks: I sacrificed only corpses and armor to Nemelex all game. My guess is that the ratio is at about 75%/25%. Just now, after having gotten a good stash of heavy summoners and stack deck, I've started giving Nemelex excess potions. Come on Legendary Wonder Deck!
I could use some advice on what to do with my xp. For some reason, Glark has over 10k xp and it just keep stacking up. I've tried dumping a bunch of it into Evoc with that storm disc but it was slow going and doesn't seem to effect my decks much.
Also, I assume this Bullseye Shield is a bad idea? What about the EV skill in general? On or off?
Thanks in advance!
