Shinino Kage posted:Okay, guys. This is my best game EVER so far. Level 25 and just cleared Vaults 5 -- what should I do next, given my character? Is there any equipment I don't need anymore that I"m carrying? Anything I should be looking for? 78 AC is incredible, good stuff. That CPA of yours is the stuff of legends. But dodging is good too, and you haven't trained it at all! You're spending way more experience on very high armour skill that would get much more utility from some dodging as far as defenses. Also, even if you're in Crystal Plate, you've got a whopping 30 Intelligence, 25 armour skill, and plenty of strength to wear it with reduced spellcasting inhibition. And your placid magic will reduce failure chance some, and you've got huge intelligence for spellpower. You should grab some support magic! Ctrl-F for some nice spells like Regeneration, Animate Skeleton / Dead, Repel Missiles, Blink, Apportion, Summon Butterflies, Shroud / Passage of Golubria... there are a buncha spells out there that you could probably get running to flesh out your build a bit more.

Goddam man, maybe I haven't played a gargoyle in a while and used to playing squishier characters but when I see those numbers I get pretty envious

I feel like Gargoyle is a great class for just about anything. Tanky fighters obviously, but also enough defenses to get around the early game squishiness of casters. And the Poison immunity helps get around the early unlucky adder deaths as well (which happens embarrassingly often to me).

Perma flying, rot immunity, torment resistance, innate resistances out the whazoo... Why am I not playing a gargoyle right now instead of banging my head against a wall with Mummy Wizards of Gozag?

They pretty much have rLair between poison immunity and an affinity for maces(rHydra). Ogres and (especially) orc priests still hurt due to low gargoyle HP. The defenses are ridiculous of course - I never hit 81 AC but I had one with 67 AC and 33 EV. Jeffrey of YOSPOS fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Apr 27, 2016 |

I've never done a tournament before and I would like to try one but I'm curious, are you responsible for submitting what you think are the qualifications necessary to take a banner level?

Yes, you have to play on webtiles. It's all automatic though(if you wanna be on a team you gotta put your team captain in your rcfile, '# TEAMCAPTAIN nameofcaptain').

Well, gently caress. Died on Zot 3 -- bunch of draconians showed up, I was taking them out then one teleported me to a corner where they surrounded me. Started regen at half health but one of them was a annihilator and hitting me with serious fire damage. Healed in one round from 50 to 8. :P Should have blinked as soon as I hit half-health as it would have taken 1.5 turns. Oh well. Taking a break until the tourney ![]()

I'm up for a tournament team if anyone will have me. Edit: I've been playing since .034 or so and have a number of wins (lots offline), but since I prefer 15-rune wins I often crash with characters that can do simple 3-rune wins.

I'm probably going to do it on a Zinotaur on my one Extended run so I can continue to ignore the mutation system in the areas of the game where it is intolerable. Also, I don't see 0.18 branched out on any of the servers yet to put the necessary stuff in the rcfile, but here's the team sign-up for when I can set it up: code:

I'm playing Crawl a lot less these days, so I might join in on a team and maybe squeeze out a win or two, but I'm not going to be posting the 0.18 thread. Someone else should plan to do that.
