YASD: DsVM^Makh 0.17: Mesmerization
RNG has been kind that the spellbooks I’ve found synergize with one another. I’m confident that Ice ought to be my second school of magic. I have both Ozo’s and Condensation Shield, and I also have Bolt of Cold, both Freezing and Poisonous Cloud, and Simulacrum. Both Poison and Cold leave me poorly prepared for undead—is Makhleb good enough, or ought I get Dispel Undead on my way to Simulacrum? The skill 0 shortbow and arbalest have been sufficient thus far for the undead I’ve faced, including a pack of wights, but that won’t last forever.
It looks like I have Mana Shield and Foul Stench for my two Tier II mutations, and I don’t know my Tier III yet. I’m not sure what to do with these, in particular I’ve never had Spirit Shield on a caster before and it worries me since I don’t have any channeling.
I think Bolt of Cold ought to be next, even before Condensation Shield. I can use the XP in Orc:1-3 to get me ready for rPois foes in Lair. Is there any advantage to Poisonous Cloud, now that I have access to Freezing Cloud too and am training Ice? I have 6 levels free so I can learn any one of these.
As for melee I probably will go Long Blades, aiming for the great sword I’m carrying with the scimitar along the way. The +2 short sword of speed is from D:1. I don’t think I’ll train a weapon further until I get all of Bolt of Cold, Condenstation Shield, and a Cloud up and running though. Dispel Undead and Simulacrum would be after getting melee online.
Let me know please if I ought to be doing anything differently.
