CIP (YASD now): VSFi of Kiku, thinking how to hybridize
I have ascended two very tanky characters so far and am now trying to get a hybrid win. This is the first time I tried to start VS fighter and then worship Kiku to get into necromancy. I'm now heading to midgame and making plans what spells I will be using in the near future.
I got two gifts already that contained Animate Dead, Corpse Rot, Pain, Vampiric Draining, Sublimation of Blood, Borgnjor's vc, Dispel Undead, Simulacrum and found bunch of other spellbooks. Found this sweet +8 chain mail with +2 slay that feels like worth using as armor now even if it delays getting into magic. My plan for now is to finish getting shields to 15, skill necromancy ( and maybe dodge ) and maybe use animate dead to help clear the lair. Some hexes for sure because I found confusing touch and it is awesome.
Not sure how effective Vampiric Draining is when you get into Necromancy this late. I feel like there might be some small window when it will be usefull but other than that just hitting enemies with melee weapon might be better choice.
Maybe it is worth skilling also ice magic and then switching to lighter armor to make simulacrum available sooner or do some earth magic and be able to cast Borgnjor's?
It is also tempting to switch into maces since I found that randart morningstar with pain brand and even +rF . With this character it might be better to just go little bit heavier armor and forget about high lever spells and just brand some normal spear later. That morningstar is so heavily enchanted that it might be worth using without any skill levels though.
How would you go forward with this character if you would try to get probably 3 but maybe max. 5 runes?
