haste the spell no longer exists. controlled blink is good but you have everything you need. blow up dudes, play slow and win the game.

Speaking of that, I've been doing DsFi lately for funzies. I don't have much experience with lvl3 mutations, and I've just gotten "Your demonic blood runs hot!" which has the cool effect of lighting guys on fire if you make them bleed. I've got rF++ on the character currently, am I in danger of burning myself to death? Also this mutation loadout is pretty sweet, though not as overpowered as that augmentation/claws guy earlier: rF+, Blue Scales rC+ AC+4, Robust+30%,talons(boo),night stalker (eh) EDIT-Whoops, I'm a moron. The second step of the Ignite Blood mutation is immunity from flame clouds. Sorry, I thought it'd be a very roguelike thing to do to give you an ability that's also dangerous to yourself. In related news, what's a good DsFi god for extended? I've got Invo 18, currently on Oka, normally I'd go TSO/Zin but obviously can't for Ds reasons. I've heard Yred/Kiku but I've got 0 in spellcasting, though a bunch of Necro books have dropped. Scaramouche fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Jul 2, 2017 |

If you're going to use Dragon's Call in Tomb:3, make sure you know it makes noise continuously. I think I had a lot more trouble than needed by using that, but hard to say. Some loops it would kill things, other loops everything gets abjured and I have to keep fleeing and can't rest because of the noise. Cost me 2 blinks, too many heal wounds potions, and a rather large number of turns in which I was within one hit of death from smites.Scaramouche posted:In related news, what's a good DsFi god for extended?

Oka can see what you have open in your other browser windows and what you're doing to yourself when you look at them. He's a big gun rights guy, try to open up some NRA pages and some info on local ranges.

+7 artifact Mace with flame and Int+3(?, not in front of my computer) or +3 morningstar with crushing that I can take to +6? M&F is at high 13s now. It's under bitcoinbastard on berotato if you want to take a look at the rest.

morningstar. you can use shield+morningstar to the end of the game, and saving EW scrolls is usually a bad idea

That's what I was thinking, thanks. I'll keep the mace around for rF- monsters but I already cleared an ice cave and I think that means I won't see another one right?

rF- monsters still pop up from time to time, but it's basically never going to be worth using a mace over a morningstar unless hilariously high weapon enchantments are involved.

Old Dun Cow posted:Let me tell you very loudly about Qazlal... Funny you should say that since Ignite blood is kind of like mini-Qazlal without the noise/other cloud types. Pros: - Interaction between Ignite Blood and Flayed Ghosts and Jory is hilarious Cons: - Spiders don't have blood? C'mon devs Have all runes except Hell + Pan but since the guy is a Ds I'm really scared of drawing the Angel level in Pan. As for God, I'm thinking maybe Chei? This char has Talons so can't get Boots of Running at all; either that or Oka, but I haven't done Hell in so long without Zin protection that I'm not looking forward to having to deal with Hell Effects again. As an aside, I poo-pood Night Stalker for a fighter earlier, but that decreased LOS sure made Tomb a bit easier. Thinking of ditching my Gold Dragon scales and putting on the Shadow Dragon since I've got Night Stalker 3, the Ring of Shadows, and my other arti-ring (rPois +MR) is also +Stealth. Maybe be a flame spewing stealth fighter.

Next question now that I'm back in front of my computer: I got 66(!) tomahawks of returning out of a bailey, plus there's a couple of +0 uncursed blowguns, a shitload of poison needles, and 5 frenzy needles scattered across D1-11. (Semi related: I also have a +1 shield stashed on Lair:1 for once I get shield skill up far enough that it doesn't prevent me from casting LRD reliably.) Should I be training up throwing as a backup to Earth magic? E: Just found +1 gloves of archery, I'm thinking throwing is looking decent right now. http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/bitcoinbastard/bitcoinbastard.txt code:

Exewu posted:I've played for years with one goal, to get a mummy capable of casting firestorm. I've finally got there but I'm a bit at loss at how I should proceed. Any hints? I think I should be aiming for haste/controlled blink? Been playing MuFE since your post to try to get SOME kind of mummy win and had a few painful post-lair deaths, but FE is a pretty good background so it's not the hardest combo I've been playing recently. The -2 on most aptitudes is pretty brutal though. On my 3rd good run now and I've sunk a ton of xp into shields since I found the shield of resistance and a +6 reflection amulet. Might be a mistake since my offence is dragging behind but sif hasn't given me OOD or anything else big yet anyway. e: fuckin rip, ended up using a hatch to escape something on elf:3 and it dumped me in the hall of blades.. then after using a tele scroll it not only didnt escape the hall, it dumped me next to a lajatang of holy wrath Indecisive fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Didn't see a single randart ring this game, and the two randart amulets I found sucked, and never saw Corr. Might've been able to find something in Elf or Crypt, but I just felt like winning at that point, and it turns out weak jewelry doesn't matter much when you can blink away easily and have Gargoyle defenses! I probably would've been better off wearing a Ring of Fire/Ring of Cold Resistance at the end, but meh.

2 runes down, still alive. I think I'm going to call it there for the night. I've already been at it for hours. That vault last floor must be a hell of a pickle for a squishy character.

You got the morningstar's big sister, the eveningstar. Morningstar is kind of a poo poo weapon but eveningstar is one of the best 1h weapons in the game. As a casting hybrid a shield is highly recommended so unless Wyrmbane shows up you're pretty set. Be aware that (a) M&F crosstrains with staves and (b) a staff of earth with a lot of Earth and Evocations is a force to be reckoned with in melee.

Yeah I didn't realize it was an eveningstar when I phoneposted that, made the decision that much easier. Unfortunately I ended up splatting that char.

Superterranean posted:the fucken rocks they throw? They frequently spawn with polearms, so when think you are fighting one in a corridor you are fighting 2 and when you are fighting one in a doorway you are often fighting 3 or 4. Polearms give you one less turn to attack at range, limit the usefulness of blockers (friendly or unfriendly), and give your enemy a free shot when you back off. Moving near a group with polearms opens you up to tons of opportunity attacks so it's much more difficult to reposition a pack. This is especially bad for fast races that are used to being able to back out of a fight. vulturesrow posted:Gozag chat: I know we had this discussion a while back but I don't feel like digging through the thread. How do you guys like to prioritize Gozag shops? Got a DsFi of Goz and I most need 1) a better weapon and 2) better rings/amulets. But I don't want to "waste" a shop. Jewelry is almost always the best choice. Jewelry has 3 slots as well as swaps for resists, sInv, MR, etc. and a shop will usually have two or more randarts. A regular armor shop would probably be my second choice until I had a few nice egos in my armor. The problem with weapon shops is there are a LOT of different kinds of weapons and even if you get the right class of weapons you have to get the one or two weapons in that class that don't suck. Really depends on your weapon choice and your other gear, if you have run Orc and are still using like a +1 flail or war axe then yes, weapons.
