If you don't recognize the vault, it's a series of triskelions with loot in the center that you have to dig into, monsters aren't supposed to be in them. The fire giant happened to be standing on... a wand of digging. :geno:

Anyone can join (priority to any previous members of the SSS in any form), no skill level required; you just have to be willing to play (and die) a bunch. Playing for banners/the biggest mutation list is also acceptable.

Might as well join up again! (wormsofcant) Going to try and beat my previous 6 win count.

So I ended up starting a SpEn, and it's been fun so far. I've just cleared the Lair, and I feel like it's time to start branching out into other spell schools so I don't 100% rely on stabbing things. I picked Kiku as a god because I figured why not (I could get necro up and then pain brand my weapon), and I have access to low and mid level necromancy spells. I also have access to blink and repel missiles, although they are in completely different spell schools.

I guess my question is, how should I develop my character from here? Start going deep into necromancy? (If so, what are the best necro spells for a SpEn?) I'm not planning on doing 15 runes or anything like that, I still have yet to win a game.

Current character: http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/Sent/Sent.txt

You're a SpEn, you should have Blink and RMsl castable (possibly at a 20-30% rate) without any training and you have the apts to get both of them online quickly (+4 Tloc and Charms). You'll want to get enough Necro to get Dispel Undead online at the minimum, it's a solid spell. Animate Dead is also solid and Control Undead has some niche uses.

Spells you should get: Ozocubu's Armour, Regeneration, Tukima's, Dazzling Spray, possibly Agony and Death Channel later on. Corpse Rot is also good specifically with Kiku; just deliver some corpses, walk off them so you don't hit yourself and use it for free miasma clouds.

Funny thing relating to slime creatures I asked about on IRC when I saw it happen: temporary slime creatures (summons, rakshasa illusions) can merge with real slime creatures, and the game will actually handle the fused slime creature properly if they would disappear from the summoner's death by shrinking the fused slime creature.

Confuse drowning was removed in the latest version, so the only thing swamp drake breath does is confuse you for some turns.

Meanwhile I am having the weirdest game. Decided to roll up a CeHu with crossbows, found Okawaru on D:3 and despite that I ran out of bolts around D:7, to the point that I picked up a bow and started training it because there was ~50 arrows lying around. Now I'm at D:12, cleared Orc and Lair and have some nice Arbalests/Longbows and still only have ~50 arrows and bolts each. What the heck, Okawaru???

Related, please make demonic guardians immune to static discharge, ball lightning, chain lightning, and tornado. Getting that mutation on an AE makes me want to ctrl-q immediately. Ancestors don't need to be immune to ball and tornado damage, but please don't let them be lightning rods for the other two.

e: I guess it's fine if ancestors suck with static and CL. It's weird lovely anti synergy instead of an actual god restriction but whatever, you chose to worship. Demonic guardian though, please fix that.

EDIT: And there really is not any counterplay to berserkitis/teleportitis now that the means to counter them have been removed. You can respond to the awful situations they put you in, but the potential for them to completely gently caress you over always exists.

The thing about the berserkitis is that it only triggers when you are making a melee attack (this point could be made clearer on the @ screen). If a situation escalates to the point where berserking would kill your character then don't continue attacking like a doofus.

I'll admit that I was somewhat hyperbolic and that static discharge is actually very good, but I do feel like it falls off hard once you get to lair and lightning bolt definitely doesn't pick up the slack.

Static Discharge is strong enough to kill everything in Lair except possibly a few uniques, hydras and elephant/death yak packs (although it can handle solo elephants/death yaks fine.) If you're building your --AE as a mage (i.e. aiming for ~10 conjurations/air) you can kill spiny frogs/black mambas in 2-4 turns.

A great sword has the same base damage as a lajatang though, so assuming the lajatang is at min delay, with enough enchantments a lajatang of speed will outclass a +20ish great sword.

Haunt is the chaff form of the level 7 spells. You can't prep ahead of time because it requires a hostile target. Not bad, but the cross-class into Necromancy can be an issue (good gods, more experience to train for decent failure rates).

Note that with the changes to how speed draining works (the slowing effect from wraiths and death scarabs) it's also a source of irresistible slowing.
