Quite frankly it feels like this run the game is just throwing things at me to succeed. I've never beaten the game, but this appears to be absurdly promising, but i have some questions-
1. Should i use the polearm i found? It seems very very good, but I still don't feel comfortable with skill in this game and knowing when to switch.
2. Likewise i'm pretty certain that ice dragon armor should just wind up in a stash until i really need cold resist, if ever, but i thought i'd check.
3. Finally i'm still not totally comfortable with the new skill system in general. What should i be doing with this?
4. My god gift was a long blade...isn't trog not supposed to do that or am i not high enough in axes for him to care?
5. I have what seem to be the two best amulets for this class. Should I keep faith until i get something awesome or just start using spirit now?
6. Any other advice would be appreciated. I've gotten characters to the bottom of the vaults and other fairly far areas, but I still feel like there's stuff i just don't understand.

[Happy Corner]

Hmmm.

1. The polearm you found. Maybe you should, you're still early in the game and switching to another weapon skill won't cost you too much. Polearms are probably better than Axes anyway, as Trog might give you a demon trident down the line (sadly there are no demon axes). You might try out that great sword you mentioned, too. It might have a cool brand, and committing to Long Blades skill could get you a demon blade from Trog.

2. Yikes. I don't know what would possess anyone to wear -10 armor, but a few stat bonuses aren't even close. I don't know if I would wear that even if I DID need rC+.

3. Doesn't look like you're doing too bad with the skill system. Since you're a Berserker, it's okay to leave Fighting, Dodging, your main weapon skill, and Armor/Stealth (depending on whether you wear heavy armor or not), and Evocations if you get it. Shields, too, if you decide to use one of those.

4. Trog's gifts can be quite random, and yes, he CAN give you a weapon you have no skill for... it happens to me quite often, too. The higher your weapon skill is, the more it influences Trog's gifts, but I don't think you can ever get it totally ironclad where he'll only give you one weapon type.

5. Faith is WAY better than guardian spirit. You should keep wearing that (getting weapon gifts faster and making your Brothers In Arms stronger) until you get an amulet of resist mutation or a really cool randart amulet.

6. It's still a little early in the game for specific advice (other than the stuff you asked already), but you're not looking too bad so far. If you can think of other things you aren't understanding, I (or some other poster) would be glad to help with that.

1. Should i use the polearm i found? It seems very very good

It's not. It's considerably worse than the weapon you are wielding. re: what another poster has added, trog does not gift demon weapons with a very high probability. You may get 1 or 2 over the course of a normal game and will otherwise be swimming in (antimagic) flails and spears. OTOH, axes are a great weapon choice for any berserker with neutral apts.

3. Finally i'm still not totally comfortable with the new skill system in general. What should i be doing with this?

Turn off slings and unarmed combat.

6. Any other advice would be appreciated. I've gotten characters to the bottom of the vaults and other fairly far areas, but I still feel like there's stuff i just don't understand.

Put your stat points into dex and not str.
Edit: Oh, um, and stay away from your d:8 erolcha. Hope that goes without saying.

Hope this helps.

Well small update. I'm currently at polearms 6 and axes 6 so i should probably choose soon. The polearm does have the advantage of letting me kill hydras and i just found the lair. That said trog gave me a +5+0 sling of frost so i'm not too worried.

I did however just pick up a scroll of acquirement. I'm still missing a ring slot, but a weapon or armor could be good as well.. Then again the first one is what gave me the ice dragon armor of worthlessness, and i've already got a cloak of poison resist. Suggestions would be appreciated.

And actually i just walked downstairs and murdered erolcha shortly after posting this topic. She had invis so no spear or banishment.

[bobross419]

Acquire a staff. You'll get a rod, and it will probably be pretty useful. Jewellery acquirement is junk even more often than armour acquirement is, and you're already getting a lot of acquirement-level weapons from Trog.

+1, Trogites should acquire staffs for the rods... definitely a solid addition to the zerker arsenal.

[Eji1700]

Wait so you acquire staffs for rods and not wands? No wonder i've never seen one.

And its a +3 rod of smiting 9/9. That seems pretty awesome for this run.

Any final words on polearms vs axes? From what i've read around the forums i feel like axes are considered meh because the better ones are two handers and shields are so good. On the other hand polearms can be either and demon weaponry is awesome and I get to kill hydras so it seems like an easy choice.

That said i've yet to even come close to winning so i'd love to hear another opinion.

[pratamawirya]

Normally, when you acquire a staff, you'll get either a magical staff (staff of power, staff of wizardry, etc) or a rod. But zerkers will always get a rod, because they can't use spells so magical staves are useless to them.

[Eji1700]

So i let my fear of hydras convince me to go polearms instead of axes. Trog has done his best to make me regret it tremendously, but in the lair i finally got the following:
-3 +8 randart vampiric demon trident
Lets you zerk
Lets you levitate
Protects you from cold

So..is this end game worthy, and should i use it now? Vamp is nice and all but being a polearm means i can't butcher for meat. The hive had a TON of honeycombs and jellies and what not, but having to waste one every time i butcher seems very very risky. Should i just save this thing until i find something like gourmand and carry it for emergencies, or just bite the bullet and use it as a main weapon?

Also for skills i switched to focus mode and currently have fighting, polearms, dodging, traps, and evocations as focused, stealth as un focused, and the rest off. Is this good or bad, and how does the manual of fighting i found factor into this? Oh and should i turn on stabbing?

Thanks for the help so far. I have of course found some amazing axes since deciding to go polearms, but with my pole at 13 and my axes at 6 it seems just too risky to train them up, even if i get a +4 for cross training. Or am I wrong about that?

In case it matters the best axe is likely the randart flaming executioners axe. great protect from fire, protect from cold, invis, lev, and double minus to stealth.

Edit:
Just found some mottled dragon armor. Suggestions here as well? I have a max + 2 robe of resistance right now, but should i be on the look out for any kind of dragon armor? I have enough scrolls to probably max enchant them.

[slowcar]

mottled is not that great, better stay with your resistance robe.

[bobross419]

If you aren't set on a shield that flaming exe axe is the way to go. Hydra die so easy to flaming slash.

This won't really help since you are Trog, but good info to know -> If you've found a book with animate skeleton, you can use that to generate corpses without needing to unwield a weapon.

[Stormfox]

Mottled dragon armour (or even a hide) is one of the few options that a Dr has for bootstrapping the Armour skill, in case you find some nice dragon armour of a heavier class later on.

[Eji1700]

A vampiric trident is not an endgame weapon. No trident is an endgame weapon, unless it's prefixed with "demon."

It is.

My only question right now is Snake 5, more dungeon, shoals, or elf? And i'm still not sure if that shield is worth it. I used it enough to gain shield skill, but i'm trying to figure out at what point it won't be a complete pain to use. I know 15 is the total downside drop off, but is it really worth wasting the xp on it?

Walked around a corner into silence and it was all downhill from there. Never seen him before, now i know.
