I might have rushed it.
It was my 2nd time there and my 1st time that far in.
I was mostly using Twisted Resurrection.
But I used Animate Dead in the Shoals.

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

Code tags would be appreciated, they're better than spoiler tags for character dumps in a number of ways.

Anyway, doing Shoals:5 when you could have doing Shoals->4, D->21, V->4, D->27 was one mistake. The greater mistake was not really having an alternate killing skill. You were approaching the point where Aboms were becoming obsolete. As much as Kiku-delivered necromancy solves everything while Aboms are relevant, you needed something for aftewards. Haunt could have been that answer, with your rods as backup. Melee would have been preferred, you were Gray.

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

Sorry, I don't really post here.
I was afraid to go any deeper in the Dungeon, Elven Halls, and pretty much everywhere except for the Shoals since I had a rather easy time there.
I did finish up the Orcish Caves and the Lair (I think).
I was looking for a Staff of Death, but couldn't find one. Agony and my draining quarterstaff worked pretty well anywho.

Unless you started to put all your EXP into staves for a while (and then upgrade to a lajatang), that tactic wouldn't have been as effective before long. You had the right tools to get through the midgame but you needed to have been working towards your lategame tools.

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

Lategame tools?
I usually just handle things when I get to it, instead of planning ahead.
Should I change that playstyle?

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

@Xavi:

Given the way that skilling works in dungeon crawl, though it relaly pays to be adaptible, there is definitely a benefit to having a good plan for what set of powers/moves you're going to utilize to deal with foreseeable challenges. For example, when starting a brand new game you already are thinking: "what will i do when i see sigmund? Orc priests? Orc wizards? Centuars? Ogres? etc." You know they're coming up in 2-5 floors, and so you start mentally looking out for items around the dungeon to hang onto that may help you with them while training up some worthwhile skills.

Compare that to just autotraveling around and being like: "Oh damn, an ogre. . uhh . . .i've got no idea what to do. I'll try to fight it.. . . . stupid crawl he just killed me in one hit."


As you get more familiar with the rest of the game, you'll learn that similar challenge 'breakpoints' come later on. Hydras, spiny frogs, elephants, death yaks, black mambas, and a couple varieties of drakes are all virtually gauranteed in the Lair. While you're going through the Lair you've gotta have something set to work your way through them. Ideally, then, when you were in the pre-Lair period (main dugneon) you were levelling/preparing a build that could handle this stuff so that when you reached it you were prepared.



Same logic applies to Vaults.


If this all sounds like more work than fun for you, consider trying a "brute-force" type race-class combo for a while. Take a Minotaur Berserker of Trog for example. They start with 4 important skills: fighting, dodging, axes, and armour. They end the game with four important skills. . . . fighting, doding, axes, and armour :). Throughout the game you're just upgrading your axes and armour sets. While a better player might be making more fine-tuned decisions and all, ultimately it's the closest you can get to "I just handle stuff as it comes up" and being able to wing it no problem (IMO).

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

BountyHunterSAx pretty much said what I wanted to say: if you don't want to plan ahead, just play a melee guy until you're familiar enough with the game to more easily plan ahead. Melee is harder tactically but easier strategically. A mage needs some degree of adaptability to what spells he comes across but hopefully by midgame he has books that contain lategame tools to aim for (newVeh adds a twist to this). Alternatively, the mage can turn into a hybrid and rely on a physical weapon (ranged or melee) to be his main killing tool for later in the game.

There are many viable paths but you do need to make up your mind and work for them as by the time you need lategame tools, you can't 'wing it' if you haven't been training for it.

Re: YAD: Gray DrNe

Well I play Berserkers sometimes, so I guess I'll just work with that.
Thank you, BountyHunterSAx and Psieye.
