So on the topic of pakellas abuse: I just found another early antimagic weapon. If I'm at like 1/3 mp and I swap to it and artificially lower my max mp, does that improve my mp/maxmp ratio and give me better charge efficiency, or am I just fooling myself?

You get less charges if your max MP is lower. Note that this does not matter if you are a deep dwarf and are abusing the fact that recharge will always give you at least one charge back, even with only 1 MP, to top off your healing wand (this does cost piety eventually).

I got really lucky with the stairs placement on Depths and Zot, but I still didn't beat my best time of 1:53:01 and 42k turns from last tournament (and I still missed top 3 that time by 15 minutes or so). I think I might have wasted too much time doing Orc, in retrospect. E: Although I did have a +9 vamp exec axe for that game. This time I only had a +9 venom exec axe for the majority until I got a +6 freeze exec artifact right before Zot.

why do people still play console what advantages could it possibly have over webtiles at this point (other than increased smugness capacity)

I'm... not a speed player Honestly, I've played so many pure melee characters (even when it would be better to grab at least some form of ranged combat) that I've mostly ingrained what's dangerous and what isn't by reflex. MiBe just makes it even easier to blur the line and just go "Eh, Trog's Hand+Berserk, maybe a BiA" at first glance. From there it's mostly o+tab+a bit of gambling until the rune endings, Depths, and Zot. Also, DEVASTATOR is up to +11 slaying, get hosed everything

There's something that just appeals to me about it. Makes me feel like a Hollywood hacker.

Webtiles would probably get me to slow the gently caress down in my play and would result in more wins but I gotta go fast. Plus I can sneak in play during work without it looking suspicious.

bitcoin bastard posted:DDFi of Pakellas is officially OP once you get past the temple. Evo +3 means you can get your wand/rod shots powerful early, plus it also means Pak will turn ~30 max MP into ~4 heal/haste/tele charges or enough on your other wands. Please don't ask the devs to nerf good and fun things, they're way too likely to actually do it - the game is already ludicrously hard for most of us!

Its pointless to nerf anything related to DD because a DD of Mahkleb is always gonna be the closest thing to easy mode in Crawl. DD is a terribly flawed species from a balance perspective. VVV DD is flawed as a species because they are either comically overpowered or insanely weak. The lack of HP regen just doesn't work in Crawl. Even with damage shaving, you will be worn down over time. A DD needs to follow a god that grants them access to some form of healing. So they are extremely limited in what builds are actually viable for them. A bunch of gods can't be followed without the game being insanely hard. As soon as you do follow one of those gods though, things are suddenly way easier. Starting with a wand of heal wounds is really good when its not your only source of healing. The damage shaving means they are really hard to die as. A DD of Mahkleb can just focus on fighting skills and invocations and cruise to an easy win.

DD have this ugly early game hump once monsters start actually doing damage but before your piety gets rolling, where you have to hope your HW/mana lasts and play extra cautiously. Once you get over that DD are really strong. They're also the least fun race to play as IMO.

After some typical splats, got a really good DeCj going with some good mutation and pretty good gear luck. Got swamp, did elf, doing snake. Hopefully I don't crash and burn hard like I usually do.

Does staff acquirement no longer give rods? Or have I just been supremely unlucky?

Four scrolls of acquirement, two haste wands, and completed Ice Cave, Volcano, and Labyrinth, all before getting a rune. This can't go wrong at all.

3 scrolls, 0 rods. 0 magic skills of any kind. Almost 20 evo now, but I've been trying for one since about 15.

Welp, I died by mashing blink around a death cob (I don't remember them being this deadly) and tentacled horror instead of using a blink scroll or something. Lol.

Death cobs went from being a joke enemy to actually being kinda dangerous because their hits drain speed and slow you and THEN they also steal satiation from you really quickly so its possible to starve to death while fighting one before actually dying to it or killing it.
