I AM BRAWW posted:Do you guys drink potions when you get them? I feel like whenever I get in deep poo poo, I end up dying as I'm randomly quaffing poo poo while trying to run away. Or do you guys read scrolls when you get them and use IDs to find healing pots? I quaff/read almost the moment I get them and am able to hole up in a quiet corner. I died way too many times frantically quaffing with 5 HP left and got sick of it.

Parallax Scroll posted:centaurs can still gently caress up a low level tank, but just get behind cover or rush him if that's not an option. those poison monsters aren't generally too bad cause if i have high ac i probably have high health too I tend to play tanks with shields so I don't fear the centaur

b - 899 gold the +11 whip of the Old World {venom, SInv} i - 780 gold the +9 trident "Giant's Regret" {pierce, -Tele Str+2 SInv} is either of these worth coming back for? I expect I will find something as good or better by the time I scrape up that much gold but what the hell do I know

Or do you guys read scrolls when you get them and use IDs to find healing pots? I sometimes use the potions early if combat is getting dangerous and I want to gamble that it's something good, but the rest of the time I use ID scrolls. It's less dangerous to quaff them un-IDed in combat now because potions of paralysis were removed, and that's really the only one that can instantly kill you.

I'm still used to rationing identify scrolls in 0.13, so now in trunk I ended up with a big surplus of them.

Alright I just got this and it's a lot of fun but how do I avoid dying all the time? My best so far was an octopus assassin of darkness but I got 1 shot by an orc warrior on like dungeon level 5 or 6.

I liked playing as the assassin and creeping up on monsters to kill them, but it felt like I got mobbed pretty easily when there were more than 2. Also is octopus a bad idea for a beginner since they can't use armour?

Most of the enemies are about your speed, slower, or barely faster so it shouldn't be too hard to run back into a 1 tile wide hallway to fight monsters 1 by 1

1581725 Feck Off the Intangible (level 27, 273/273 HPs) Began as a Minotaur Chaos Knight on Oct 27, 2014. Was a Favourite Plaything of Xom. Escaped with the Orb ... and 3 runes! The game lasted 04:14:13 (93485 turns). I've never won a Chaos Knight before. I got the forlorn mutation from quaff-id early in the game, but it didn't seem to make Xom any less active or capricious. Chaos Knight wasn't too rough until Depths, when Xom started stripping away my resistance mutations, and then finishing most of those off by Zot. I had pretty good mutation luck till the end, minus losing all the good ones (had horns 3 on a dodging minotaur) This is also the first time I've ever won 2 games in a row (last game was an Ogre(lol)AM of Ash who never used or trained any spells other than pproj and barely even threw rocks due to a giant spiked club with a lucky vampire brand from a brand scroll)

abuse the tits off any poison weapon the game throws you early on too. a blowgun can probably carry you to like D:7 at least. if you find a melee weapon of venom, prick mobs with it a time or two then run and let them chase you and take the poison damage

Usually you want to be training a few skills. Fighting and defensive skills are probably more important than weapon skill early on, so I'd leave at least fighting, maces & flails, and either armor or dodging on depending on which way you want to go there. The main thing weapon skill does is lower your attack delay, which isn't that important with light weapons in the early game.

I go full berserk until my melee skill is high enough then kill it and go for defense. You are going to get hit, but you really need to kill something before it kills you. Then worry about defense.

KoldPT posted:don't do this, though, it's not fun actually, it's good, and fun. people who complain that the early game is too boring are usually playing it too fast, and dying over and over, and getting bored. if you play slowly, you will die less, and different things, and have more fun. that, is my opinion. babypolis posted:has anyone evr played a human willingly in the history of this game? hu-- are okay; they're pretty decent generalists, which is not useful early on (where you desperately need to specialize to survive) but neat later on. the key is to always prioritize killdudes. ar is a weird class: it's basically a melee class which trades away "starting with a decent weapon/armour" for three early-game "I win" buttons. don't train evo; find a decent weapon and train that. later, as ds, join makhleb or qazlal and pump invocations for great fun. (makhleb's minor destruction is remarkably effective with invo investment, especially early on.)

Hey lessons is your random account fully random, or are you doing random viable? I tried a few fully random ones for fun and I seem to always get real rear end combinations. I need to wait longer to get into random since I haven't won on any class yet, but sometimes it's fun to take a break from the MiBe and try some crazy crap. My current MiBe is promising though. I was clearing elf 1&2 to try to find poison resist for snake and was doing well enough I decided to brave elf 3 at level 14 or 15. I got banished to abyss *twice* and found an exit both times but I did manage to clear elf, partially thanks to +3 crystal plate and a +9 God gift great mace of draining. Now just finishing up shoal then on to snake and slime :/ My furthest before this died in lair so it's real slow and stressful.

And that's your piety level with him. Using abilities uses up some of that piety. If it drops and you lose abilities, it's cause Trog thinks you're asking him to do too much compared to what you're giving him. I use the Brothers in Arms a lot and I constantly have to keep an eye on it.

(ogres and spriggans work the same way.)

You don't wanna train it because of the starter rods, but you're quite likely to get a good number of rods that will annihilate everything through lair, and if you do you should train evo.
