Summon Dragons, shedu, Elemental damage
Sorry for so many questions but I am not sure if it is a good idea to create a separate thread per question since it is my first post here. Sorry about my bad English.
Could you please try to answer the questions below?
1) Is it common opinion that Summon Dragon + Staff of Wucad Mu is overpowered? I had a DEFE who was lucky to find both items in first Ziggurat and it looks like this combination is the safest way to clear everything so I had to play just like a Summoner from that point. I Summon Dragon until I am almost out of mana, then 't'ell them 'w'ait and then use the staff to channel some mana and repeat until I stop getting messages about increased experience. It forced me to always wear 2 restore abilities rings + Clarity despite I have about 5 artefact rings and about 5 artefact amulets because I do not want to waste time on the swap.
Being in lichform makes it even more straightforward because I do not care about Int anymore so even having 23(30) Int is acceptable .
This works so great that I even didn't notice when the dragons killed Cerebov and Mnoleg...
2) Is it possible to kill 4 shedu + phoenix + Silver star + Angel without having Animate Skeleton/Dead? I made a mistake of using 't'ell 'w'ait for my dragons to start wandering and killing everything without me investigating which floor of a Ziggurat I am against. It was the only fight which dragons could not win for me so far. I was barely able to leave the floor by Death's Door and CBlink after trying to butcher a shedu which results in my next question...
3) Is it possible to continue butchering when there are hostile monsters around? The game asks something like "Switch to your main weapon?" and it looks like butchering stops no matter what I choose.
4) Is monster's AC applied when player deals Fire/Ice damage? I know that Fireball cannot be avoided by evasion but I am not sure about AC. I read somewhere that AC is applied for player but is not applied for monsters but I am not sure it is true for 0.11 or 0.12.
5) Lich form is displayed to provide Rot resistance and I believe that Mutation is converted into Rot while in Lich form. Does it mean Lich form is resistant to Mutation also? I have See Invisible as a mutation (mutation roulette after having 13 Cure Mutation from first Ziggurat) and do not want to lose it
6) Does game care about Troove condition being possible to satisfy? I have a troove which asks for Wand of Healing but I failed to find it despite clearing 2 Ziggurats and everything else except 3 branches of Hell.
Thank you.
