Looking for advice on my current run (DsIE)
I started as a mage, and still am but due to my spells, gear, mutations and god I'm quite capable in melee, though my AC could be better. I can handle a 6 headed hydra without too much difficulty but now I'm not sure if I should be focusing on magic (was thinking about getting invisibility online) or if I should be training my fighting/pole arms. I have a ring of wizardry and I can equip a staff of wizardry in a pinch if I need to cast a particularly tough spell.
One problem is Snakes is one of the Lair branches I have, but I don't have any poison resist. I'm hoping by the time I finish Orc I'll pick up at least one pip of it.
So given the equipment and skills I currently have, how would you guys go about progressing from this point? I would really love to turn this run into my first win, I think this character has the potential.
