Weaker alcohols (like cheap wine or other that are quenching thirst) are good because they give you 1 str buff and some pain reduction without cons.

Someone made a ponyposter joke for the umpteenth time and he melted down by admitting he was secretly half the fucking thread all along and posting all his wins, then describing how he had cheated on them. Then he spammed pony porn to get banned. Again. Then he ban evaded to ask the mods to delet e the pony pictures, and mentioned that he was going to post CP if that didn't work.

He also admitted he did it all for attention, and that he's currently going to therapy which seemingly isn't working all that well.

Look for the thread in the archives, the mods post-humously deleted all his posts.
>>
>>135411480
unarmed to ~6 (5.6 at a minimum), transmutations to however high it needs to be for ~20% failrate spiderform. After that, nudge fighting/dodging/transmutations up a few levels at a time, then take unarmed to 12 for .8 auts per attack+higher damage, then take fighting/dodging/transmutations up again, and so on.

You're not really a mage, you're a hitdude that uses MP. Really, you could get some ideas on how to skill from watching MuMo players.

Around 2 levels of poison magic and the rest on transmutations can be faster for access to spider form. Particularly on merfolk since their apt for poison magic is good and their transmutation is even better.

>>135422316
If you don't know who ponyposter is, the hang of it is that a month or two ago some dude was posting his Dredmor run. This made a certain poster get REALLY SALTY and eventually he started posting pony porn, which got him banned. The mods also deleted all the posts attached to his IP. Someone checked the archives and that revealed the guy was responsible for a good amount of the shitposting on the thread, and that he had turned samefagging into an art form. Since then he was turned into a meme/boogeyman who was regarded as the source of all the evil in the world (not too far off).

Then, confusingly, he started pretending to be a guy who pretended to be ponyposter and was really butthurt towards him and mimicking himself on insulting ways. Then he tried to trick people into thinking that guy (the fake ponyposter imitator) had figured it out by saying that ponyposter had samefagged the whole ponyposter name and meme, shortly before his breakdown.

I did bring it up in therapy. I mean, I explained it while being vague, the whole point is that I got angry at someone and de-vauled a lot of achievements. But anyway.

Man I never did understand why he even bothered with that. Shitposting is one thing, samefagging is another thing. But that meta-shitposting-samefagging chimera of his, it was pointless.

Once you pass the level of samefaggotry, it's all just noise in the thread.

Don't listen to these clowns, you always always rush spider form first, because if you focus XP, you can get it reliably castable by XL5, especially with octopode's superb poison aptitude.

Spider form gives you:
>roughly +8 EV
>UC damage bonus
>UC to-hit bonus
>UC poison brand on top of damage bonus
>DEX bonus, which also increases your to-hit
>increased stealth from DEX and 'tiny' size

all this at XL 5, compared to if you pumped UC till XL 5. So, I recommend this:

>enter dungeon
>XL1:
>turn off all skills except transmutations
>XL2:
>memorize sticks to snakes, continue training only transmutations
>XL3 and beyond:
>memorize spider form
>turn off all skills except poison
>keep an eye on poison skill, once it is equal to transmutations, train both skills until spider form is under 20% or so
>switch skills back to fighting, UC, dodging until you feel you need to learn ice form/blade hands

Also just some subjective opinion, I think transmuters should worship Chei

halflings are the tankiest characters in the game

eventual goal: become a massive wall of AC, EV and SH while slowly tickling enemies to death with your sling

luckily the game drops more stones than anyone could ever use so even if it takes 100 shots to kill a single enemy you won't run out

also worship grampa Oka in the hopes of getting a sling that actually does damage
>>
>>135431562
Eh. Halfling Slingers are great because you can get to mindelay by D4-5 easily on a ranged weapon with effectively infinite ammo.

This carries you until you can get stuff that actually scales online like Longblades, charms, and god powers.

Using a sling past lair/orc is kind of shitty though.
>>
>>135431562
If you think AC, EV, and SH is useful late game you are retarded. None of those do anything against hellfire, torment, death curses, starcursed mass, smiting, etc.etc.etc.

If any of those are saving your life you've made a tactical mistake or a shitty build. The most important statistic is HP and the only replacement for HP is stealth or the ability to kill first. Halflings are complete shit that should be removed cause we already got kobolds.

a greater possibility of generating high level artefacts and useful supplies, also a higher rate of generating rune vaults, gates deeper, as well as abyss exits, and also a higher rate of generating deadly hordes of monsters

I've never really felt like abyss 3 gets super dangerous. How long do you have to spend there for it to really ramp up? Abyss: 4 and 5 are a constant state of getting fucked by nexus crabs and cancer stars that I've never really seen in 3.

Starcursed mass can and WILL kill ANY character if you let the spawn rate get high enough in the abyss.

There used to also be the danger of death from status damage, luckily that's not such an issue anymore.

Snake, watchout! That is the pandemonium lord Cerebov, which means "Never ending fire." His name is no joke, as he can weave great fire storms.

Snake, as you know, Cerebov resides in his own personal realm of Pandemonium. Cerebov is a powerful spell weaver and wears heavy armor, so be careful. Your silence scrolls will have no effect on him, as he speaks the glyphic language of higher beings, which is partially spoken by gesture. Attacking him head on may be fool hardy, and might result in you getting hurt or even killed! Snake, promise me that you won't fight him if you don't have to! Remember that you only need to get the rune. Do you want to save your progress?

generally no

if you're a melee otabber enemies will die faster but do the same damage to you before they die, plus it'll make you squishier to ranged attackers

if you're a blasty caster it lets you kill stuff with less mana but it also makes your already-squishy ass even squishier and you'll get oneshot by an OOD cyclops or something

it's maybe worthwhile IF you have tons of defenses but shitty damage, but that's not a problem DCSS characters tend to have

I was basically pretty pissed from the exact moment I couldn't find a chei alter in the temple after searching for altars/temple for like a thousand turns

I can't believe how zombies fucking waltz in and out of houses. Like, fucking hell there is only ONE brute and I've seen ten houses completely destroyed because of fallen rubble. Hell, a couple survivor zombies just smashed a fucking wall to get me.
I think I'm gonna up the basic wall strength from 20 to 30 in the jsons because that makes no bloody sense. Only brutes and beyond should be able to smash house walls.

I think
>>
>>135470824
I feel the same way. One thing I hate about playing high population worlds is that the inner city is always completely fucked. No buildings, all the cars are wrecked. Everything has perfect LoS because of it and its awful.
>>
>>135470770

City size 10 spawn rate 7.3 firefighter winter start.
It's fun for now, but I'm pretty sure that I'll never get out in broad daylight for a couple seasons. I saw a shocker brute and some masters /necromancers just when I wanted to get out to grab my cart.
The building south of here is a 6x6 diamond completely full with zombies.
The firefighter station is pure brick and metal doors so nothing short of a jabberwock can breach it, but I'm beginning to worry that a hulk or even a shocker brute could destroy the metal doors.
Also that whinch takes 5 turns to activate and makes a ton of noise.
>>
Also it should be noted that having so many zombies around slows the game a lot when you're trying to read something. I don't know if it's because I'm on a toaster, but you can really feel the difference. It's as if staying near one of the old time housefires, the ones that sucked all your ram and you had to stay inside its bubble to make it stop.
Doesn't help I added wander spawns either.

Eat the dog. It's useless.
Don't eat mutant(anything) corpses or you'll poly. Prioritize daggers and whips over any kind of weapon. You have to beat the sumo wrestler to get the belt of levitation to bypass mines and bear traps (read the pasta). Also don't spend too much time in uc 3, the blue plants pack a serious punch. In the starting town the priestess of Silva will reattach your leg if you bring it to her. Praying to a god while missing a limb will have the god give you a new artificial prothesis made of (God's material). Artificial limbs aren't that good since they cannot heal by themselves.
>>
Oh also don't eat frog corpses and don't pray lawful gods if you'd prayed to chaotics. Rule of the thumb is that if you pray to four gods ( N+N--,N-,NC) you won't ever have a problem with the others. Except for the kamikaze dwarves but those happen even if you're an atheist.
There's a way to juggle seven gods at once, but unless you find a holy saga or find a lot of altars in the earlygame it's impossible.
Oh and don't go around burdened or satiated. That's nethack knowledge but still.
>>
>>135474376
Forest was hex central, full of spriggans with weird classes and Satyrs. Also some dumb animals and plant monsters, but what people really hated were Spirit Wolves, which basically attacked you with never ending spirit wolves via a status effect that summoned them near you, and Elemental Wellsprings which spawned 10 billion water elementals and kept you in shallow water.

It was fucking great but o-tab babbies couldn't handle it. God forbid crawl have monster design that isn't instantly solved for any character by 'lure everything to stairs and corridors'
>>
>>135476770
Elemental Wellsprings still exist.
>>
>>135475136
Eat the leg and zap resurrection at yourself. You could also pay an extra to the priest in the starting town and get a new leg. You could reanimate your leg, but that's wasteful.
>>
>>135476770
Spirit wolves were hated by everyone I remember. That's why they put them in extended now.
>>
>>135476819
Their summoning and AI were both nerfed and now they basically only exist in Cocytus and the occasional vault and are basically no longer relevant.

>>135476908
Doom Hounds were nerfed as well. You're not wrong about everyone hating them, but imo everyone is wrong to hate them.

I'm also mad about juggernaut nerfs btw- in my mind monsters SHOULD be drastically different from one another and very dangerous. That's why I've been playing so much Demon lately- it's still in alpha stages, but monster encounters are incredibly differentiated from each other, as opposed to crawl's 'popcorn/meatsack/pack of meatsacks' design philosophy that makes every fight pretty much the same, with some resetting to exploit the shit-tier RNG-based caster AI.

it's honestly pretty risky, and you tend to have to change your strategy on the fly.

does anyone actually use wands of disint when they have the choice?

if you want damage other wands can do it without an MR check and to multiple targets at once

if your target has shitty MR you can just paralyse or confuse to neutralize them in a single turn instead of spending multiple zapping them with disint

of course they also work as baddig but again they're outclassed by another wand -- gooddig
>>
>>135485508
They don't miss, which makes them good for taking out enemies who stay in back, eg orb spiders and electric eels. You can, as you said, just paralyse them, but not always can you take out the surrounding popcorn before it runs out.

wands of disintegrate are pretty good for digging killholes, because you can make it so that you can only see the tile you're standing on and the tile that the monster is standing on. If you make the killhole with digging, unless there was some convenient non-rock wall, then you have a bunch of empty space behind you. This is no bueno when fighting monsters that have blink other, blink allies encircling, blink self, or summoners.

That's mainly what I use it for

>>135486020
Gyre and Gimble? yeah probably. Although hitting 6 times per turn with essentially +5 daggers won't help much against high-AC targets, so hold onto a well-branded rapier or some might pots.

it'll help tremendously for tier 2&3 stabs, because you have double the chances to crit. Won't really help for tier 1 stabs since those are usually 1-HKO's anyways

Apparently the new zombie hollows turn into several blobs on death and if you're in their reality bubble of a single blob, it's as if you had been sleeping next to a nest.
look at this shit. These spawn mechanics are so fucking annoying, I swear.
Next world I'm bumping regular walls' resistance so that houses don't just break down if a regular zombie sneezes on them and you need a brute at least to destroy them, then I'm gonna blacklist hollows or make it so that they don't spawn blobs anymore.

Where can I find an infodump about speed in Angband? I remember vaguely a few posts about it becoming less powerful as you approach high levels of speed (IIRC they said something like "40 speed is not twice as fast as 20 speed") but I don't remember exactly what was said and the only /vg/ archive I know of (Fireden) doesn't have anything about it.

I ask because though I currently have over 1000 speed (Fast +1204 to be exact) I'm not exactly zipping around at lightspeed: not only do normal enemies act as quickly as I do, I can't even act more quickly than they do. I don't understand it, and I'd like to know what's going on.

Dear god, the colors really change the whole situation. I almost feel sick.

And you're telling me my @ doesn't even give a fuck? He's a pacifist, goddamnit! Why should he only care about zombie children? These things are awful too!
you should always get a small penalty malus every time you kill a zombie and then get a "mutation" after you kill enough Zeds, something like "desensitized" or something. I think they did worked that out with killing a lot of zombie kids a while ago.
>>
>>135497768
>+1204
I'm assuming this is furyband?
Something probably broke with a speed value that high, since afaik only up to speed +99 is accounted for in Angband's default setup.

it actually caps at +999 and after that you have a integer overflow.
Carry around a couple dragon corpses to get -300 speed and you should be back to lightspeed in no time.

You get your wanted level on your st i believe next to the area where your wanted, the higher your wanted level the bigger the dudes, a good strategy if you get higher tier cops on you is to jump in the water since guns don't work underwater
Some servers have a machine that tells you the teachers or use the wikis/ask on newbie/corp players can also teach skills and its the best way to learn raws.
Your next raw cost is next to the skill in question under skills.My advice for hellmoo is to get in a competent corp and learn what you can about the game, a good way to find a competent corp is to look up players on the leader-boards relevant to pvp/xp and be willing to learn just dont ask to be spoonfed.If Maimai still plays contact him he has a good attitude and knows his shit.He also made this public a while back and it should help you immensely http ://hell.moy.pink /blackbook.txt

Infra Arcana v18.1 is released

https://sites.google.com/site/infraarcana/downloads

This is release mostly fixes some bugs, oversights and annoyances. The most important change is that the ridiculous Worm spam is gone. There's some other nice stuff in there as well though.

Full release notes:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/martin-tornqvist/ia/v18.1/assets/release_history.txt
>>
>>135507531
Early game goals are to get a weapon & some armour up quickly so you can kill basic zombies with little hassle and then building up a base (mobile or not). Weapons you can make by smashing up benches & lockers for two by fours & scrap metals. Armour you can make a needle using the wood and get thread by dismantling clothes for rags and rags into thread. Or, if you look on the map & see a pawn shop, museum or antique store then they can have good melee weapons & armour. Night raiding is better than day raiding, where you would want the night vision trait from chargen, but you could day raid if you start a fire in the house some distance away from your target location to lure the zombies that way, but that might not work perfectly.

On chargen, you probably want night vision for night raids & packmule/strongback for the bonus carrying capacity. Bad traits you can take that dont impact you hugely is taking both Far & Near Sighted, Insomniac, Heavy Sleeper, Poor Hearing. Take robust genetics if you want to chug mutagens. Taking blackbelt profession is also something you could do if you want an easier early game.

yeah. there's a shitload of races with +4 and +5 and almost none with negative apts.

apparently in some ancient version stealth took less XP to raise than every other skill, and when they changed it to be consistend they also increased aptitudes across the board.

No potions of strength all the way down to depth. Not even in hidden rooms.

The staff of poison with 5 charges was fun though. I almost never get to mess around with staffs of poison since I barely find them above 2 charges and always feel the need to choose firebolt, tunneling and/or conjuration for their utility.

In hindsight I could of survived those 3 vampire bats if I used some scrolls of enchantment on the staff of poison instead of saving them.

the devs' response to holsters being useful was to make wielding things from your inventory take an impossibly long time instead of somehow buffing holsters

apparently for some weapons it's actually faster to drop them and wield them off of the floor or something like that

Sure is roguelikes in here! Let's talk about Sil, specifically: what version had the most hilariously OP smithing and why were elves still better than dwarves at it?

I personally think it was Sil 1.0, and because Tolkien hated short people so only the 7' 9"-average master race gets to be the best at anything because they're the best at everything.

>>135563068
I already left the corner you bully
>>
>>
>>135563848
I'm not into that part of the fetish but the more "hardcore" side of it reads like horrifying rape stories even to people who are into the lighter part.

As in, when I saw Jessica Jones I kept seeing parallels between Kilgrave and a certain kind of main character who's common in bimbofication stories. I don't think I need to illustrate it much, those usually play out like the backstory in Jessica Jones with the main difference that it's depicted as if it was hot. And the girl usually ends up with larger "assets" and blonde. Sometimes they even get their memories wiped, but the people who write that shit often find a description of how they're still conscious and acting against their will hot.

I'd say I find it rather mundane as a work that fails to acknowledge both men and women as equal targets of disgust, with the corruption of another being the simultaneous corruption of oneself; by gaining any sort of emotion from corrupting another, you yourself let them become a part of you and in so doing are changed and in a way, you violate yourself to feel a sense of power and freedom. To fail to acknowledge the sweet wine of self-destruction and mutual participation inherent in either the acceptance or rejection of such acts, it makes the work itself seem common and forgettable, the lack of insanity or the reveling in one's own disgusting nature, the sick taint of an impure narcissism that fails to see everything and love everything about one's particularly disturbed and rotten core.

It's just so boring.


That being said, I didn't even bother to read it, I skimmed maybe 3 pages and absorbed less than a paragraph before I knew it was shit.

>>135568759
Man I usually don't do literary analysis while reading a jerk-off story

A lot of people would feel very uncomfortable if you emphazised the rapey parts of the fetish for the sake of literary depth. Some others would like it better, then again.

That author's writing is normally devoid of that subtext. The actual cause of bimbofication is usually some background event like a virus who none of the characters were involved with or maybe a very minor character, which is part of why I like him.

Is there any benefit to using a weapon with sub-80% accuracy other than the occasionally higher damage?

To get the full bonus of the gloves you have to wear both of them. Dexterity is one of the most important stats anyway, along with leg strength and agility, which make the holy trinity of IVAN. Dex makes you block more often and makes you hit harder and more efficiently, especially with daggers and whips. Agility can be used to cheese very strong monsters and is generally good to be faster than your enemies. Legstr makes it possible for you to carry a more stuff and since you will need a chest to store your wands and shit when you trigger a mine/ kamidwarf explodes in your face, that's more or less mandatory. Basically it goes Agi>Dex>Lstr. All those can be trained, all those have a random hidden modifier that makes it easier or harder to train that you cannot Change, that is given at chargen.

nightlights kinda suck. It's basically a perma-lightstrip that gives shady lighting, which means reading time is doubled and crafting time is 1.5'd. I can see how it'd be good in the sewers, though.

I don't see why you're in the sewers, though. You could be using a basement. Sewers are bad because everyone keeps hoarding stuff and you cannot move it between Z levels or even move it in general, unless you completely dismantle a car and rebuild it under the sewers. Which is really unpractical.

They all kinda suck or aren't worth the price in gold in my opinion, except the one with -tele and -4 slaying. I really can't tell if it's actually good or if it's terrible for a transmuter.
-4 slaying should already be an istant NOPE, but those stat increases are FUCKING HUGE, especially since they are all condensed in one ring slot.

Also, i got Statue Form, should i train Transmutations until i have it castable or are there other priorities? My skills are:
>Fighting 10
>Unarmed Combat 15
>Dodging 15
>Transmutations 10
>Spellcasting 2

Ice Form for all lair, Spider Form for trash mobs + things that don't ifnore EV, Blade Hands only in fights where it's kill before you are killed.

Alright, here you go. Used your stats and skills, so it should be fairly close.

TL;DR: the ring is worth it and statueform deals deals less damage per aut than all but the weakest of your forms but also takes way less damage so you might want it anyways
>>
>>135605772
Woah man, thanks for the effort, i really appreciate it!
I'll buy it then, i didn't think slay -4 could be compensated, even with godly stats like that.
-Tele also sucks, but it takes 1 turn to remove only.

half a turn actually. One to take it off and switch to clarity or whatever.

I was thinking of fucking around with mutations, any tips? Alpha mutations look very good but I don't know if it''s a good idea, and I also got a mobile Base with all the various crafting and utility things.

Yes, but that would only apply to another map. As if, you have to move a couple hundred maptiles in a particular direction.

It's not gonna change anything though, anon. After that, you'll still be here, asking if you can make the game harder.

>Day 1
Shelter has everything I need. Water, wood, books, fire. Taught myself how to sew. Not much food, though. A few cans. Won't last half a week.

>Day 2.
Spent most of the day running outside and inside, ferrying around wood. Wearing a lady's purse feels silly, but it's all I have. Gotta keep the fire going. It's cold. So cold. Need warmer clothes. The bed's got plenty of fabric to spare.

>Day 3.
Warmer clothes, but food's gone. Acorns aren't enough. Too cold for fruit to grow. Saw a dog yesterday. Made some cave man tools, then a bow and arrows. Can't shoot for shit, though.

>Day 4.
Bagged a dog somehow. Cut it apart. Cooked it. Ate it hot. Tasted better than mushroom soup and clam chowder. Saw some kinda zombie bear on my second outing. Ran like hell. Gonna need to go out again tomorrow.

>Day 5.
It was a moose, once. Now it's something worse. Too scared to leave the shelter. It's pacing around outside. Smells me. But my stomach's empty. Need to fill it with something. So hungry.

>>
>>135644405
Only if you're undead or have a staff of energy.

Gozag is less good for trolls, ghouls, melee fighters, and casters, because no food is the major drawback with using him. Blasters are the hungriest background by far, so it's really not acceptable to have to buy all of your food or find it by sheer probability. You'll end up having to proceed into dangerous areas before you're ready, and in essence you have to deal with "consumable casting" where you can actually run out of spells.

>>135647976

as a comparison, weapons can't really be enchanted over +5 unless you spend 3+n enchant scrolls
so to get to +6 you need 4 EA scrolls, 5 more to get to +7, and once you're at +7 you need about 3^n where N is the amount of enchantments you just got so 9 for a +8 weapon and 27 for a +9 weapon, 81 for a +10.

and the hard cap is +10
and for that you need a total of 120+ fucking scrolls counting the ones you used to get to +5 to get 6 enchantment levels lower than his sword. That also hastes him gives him polymorph control and does a lot of other neat shit.

Do Ball Lightnings just blow up randomly? They're not even exploding at enemies.
>>
>>135668095
They're time bombs. If they don't have any enemies to suicide on they'll just blow up anyways after a few turns, so if you still have ball lightnings up after a fight you should run away from them.

I'm going to learn warp weapon on a lajatang of speed and then banish everything forever.

And also cry about speedbrand not stacking with distortion
>>
>>135668346
Can they cause a chain reaction?
>>
>>135668483
Quick blade so much better desu, not sure why you would ever use a lajatang on a normal sized race
>>
>>135668980
pretty sure they're indestructible outside of their own programmed terminations, like orbs of destruction
>>
>>135669208
Quickblades are only good if you have loads of slaying or have electrocution/pain brand. Laj of speed is likely the best weapon for anything that is not endgame.
>>
>>135668980
No because they're immune to electricity. Although they have 1hp so any other kind of AOE damage can blow them up.

But they don't need to cause chain reactions, if a tanky enough enemy is nearby they'll all blow up on him at the same time (and damage you too).

Even with rElec you can take a ton of self-damage from CBL, so don't use it against enemies you can't run away from.
>>
>>135669501
Quick blade is also devastating with Demonspawn Augmentation or Might procs from powered by pain.

The brand in question here was Distortion though, which is best used on, yes, quick blades.
>>
Did IA 18.1 become harder somehow? I'm dying really fast now.
>>
>>135669545
ball lightning is mostly redundant and useless if you have a disc of storms too, I mean you're probably going to hit yourself anyway so why waste magic and spell slots on it.
>>
>>135669769
Are distortion weapons a thing? I thought it was more a joke brand than anything else, thats why i understood that you implied that quickblades were generally better than lajatangs in general.
>>
>>135670073
distortion is a brutal brand whose only drawback is that it steals XP by making enemies disappear into the abyss (if it's a unique you can still find them there though), and it heals blink frogs, but who cares about that part blink frogs are windshield kills

like elec and pain it ignores the weapon's base damage and enemy AC when it procs

except nothing can resist disto
>>
>>135670073
Distortion is really strong but it also has big downsides. It has damage procs on par with electrocution, but it also has chances to blink, teleport, or banish enemies you hit with it. This is really good except for the blink, which can be a problem against dangerous ranged enemies.

The big downside for distortion is the inability to swap weapons; unequipping a distortion weapon normally has a high chance to banish you.

So it's strong in general but it can only really be used by Lucy worshippers (who are immune to the unwield effects) or through Warp Weapon (which applies the brand temporarily).
>>
>>135665969
Ignite poison is a synergy spell now. Instead of giving you a free pass through snake/spider, it'll let you deal 100% accurate, HEAVY fire damage to anything you poison, in addition to igniting meph and poison clouds. Its extremely strong with needles and Parrow. 1 Parrow + ignite is usually enough to kill most things. One of my favorite spells in the game due to all the shenanigans you can pull. Dex is still king, although strength is really worth considering now. Take int if you ever want to cast spells.
>>
>>135670908
specifically, ignite's damage is 3x as high as the poison in an enemy's system would eventually deal

probably also really fun with OTR
>>
>>135670908
There's actually no real point to having dexterity at any value higher than 13-24

13 dex allows you to reach the damage cap for stabbing with daggers or boots of the assassin, while 24 dex is the point of diminishing returns for scaling evasion, in which case you could probably get more EV by raising strength and reducing your armor penalties.

that being said, the only stat I ever raise is int.

unless I'm playing formicid of Chei/Zin in which case it's nothing but strength for the chance at that sweet sweet OCPA
>>
>>135671436
We'd have to crunch some numbers to really see what is better. I've been meaning to do some SCIENCE to see how effective strength is as far as being a source of "Slaying" as well. I'd err on the side of caution and say that dex is well worth it until you hit the really high numbers where the returns are really bad though.

>players are using this spell in more than one way?
>that will have to change :^)
>>
>>135671696
I don't really see what the point of having more melee damage is, by the time you get values that high you're in extended and spellcasting blows everything out of the water

I've definitely never felt a need to have more than the 12str/24int/20dex or so I usually end up with, certainly I never have -trouble- killing things, nor do I have a lingering wish that I could kill stuff better.

No, if anything I'd want more strength just so I can wear better armor.
>>
>>135671950
You only used it one way when it blew up snakes, and that was for blowing up snakes. Honestly, its pretty good now.

>>135672056
It was interesting to me that when that anon was crunching the slaying vs. strength numbers, 3 strength afforded him something like 2 more average damage per swing. That isn't insignificant. Its just really hard to gauge if you want more damage along with asking yourself "is this giving me more EV than the dex would?" while also considering if you even have armour that would benefit from strength. Its a pretty complex question that needs some concrete numbers for us to really see the benefits of strength. But if the answer was something like "5 points of dex gives us 7 EV and some stealth, and 5 points of strength gives us 4 EV and 3 slaying", it'd really be worth considering what you'd want to take. Obviously that is a little simpler than what we'd really get out of the number crunch, but its worth looking into. This is coming from an unapologetic dex/int only guy who usually wears IDA/FDA.

I attempted to acquire a staff of earth and instead got two rods. Meanwhile I'm worshipping Ash so I can't even switch to them without uncursing my weapon and dropping from 14 to 9 staff skill

I guess it's probably worth the XP to get my laj usable without Ash bonuses.

Getting laj to min delay is really cheap. Definitely worth it.

Actually it's not so worth it just yet. Acquired items are always cursed for Ash worshippers and I can't uncurse the rods without wielding them first. I would actually need 3 remove curse scrolls to uncurse my laj + two rods, and I only have 2.

I've been running a Spriggan Artificer of Pakellas, trying to go the stealthy-evocations route. On Lair 2 I got a labyrinth and the Minotaur was wearing a +2 Shadow Dragon Armour. As a Spriggan stealthy, I'm excited, but when I put it on, my EV goes from ~30 to 5, which looks like bad news. I'm not good enough with how the Armour Skill works. Is it worth the skill investment? or what level do I need to get in armour before I can use this safely?

With some luck and an oxygen tank, the boss prevails. The rubble let me heal up a little, pop some aspirin, get some stamina back and get 3 or 4 bonus attacks on it, which was enough to push me over the top. I lucked out when it managed to hit me and I didn't fly through the wall. That probably would have crippled me enough for the hulk to dunk me. Blackbelt is really strong.

Think of it as a plate armour that gives you a stealth ring's worth of stealth. Considering you need like 15 str and a considerable amount of armour skill to wear it properly, added to the fact you are a spriggan, well i don't think its worth the investment.

Shadow dragon armour isn't as big of a stealth bonus as it looks.

It has Stealth++++, but all armor has a stealth penalty based on its encumbrance. For SDA's 15 encumbrance it's about equivalent to Stealth- - -, meaning it evens out to only Stealth+

The southern staircase would require me to run past 75% of the level's merfolk huts and the northern two were right on top of Ilsuiw.

Only if you have rElec and high air magic to mitigate the amount of damage it will do to you in the process of harming enemies.

By all means, if you do have rElec it will be less than 10 damage coming back at you, usually 5 or less, and that's if you zap an enemy right beside you. Use it on farther enemies and it usually won't come back, but there needs to be more than one since it will just arc back and forth between the closest targets until it runs out of charge.

>all these shitters recommending DEX

Any kind of fighter character always needs STR over DEX.
>STR is even more like slaying now that they got rid of strengthweighting
>in heavy armour, a point of STR will help your EV more than DEX will unless you have like 5 DEX
>in heavy armour, a point of STR will help with failrates more than INT unless you have like 5 INT
>fighters don't need to cast max-power firestorm to get kills, they just need to cast haste/cblink etc

The only reason to level DEX/INT on a fighter is if you are severely deficient in them, like 10 or less

I've played characters with 70+ STR and not-great 25/25/0 defense, and they don't take that much damage because they kill everything too fast. Chomping orbs of fire in 1 hit.

Then I played fighters of Jiyva, who shifted my stats from STR into INT/DEX, and that character lost his killing power very fast, even though he was in hasted statue form with a few auxiliary attacks. Just couldn't kill for shit, 10 punches to kill a greater naga? Unacceptable. 15 punches to kill a hell sentinel that's hellfiring me every other aut? Unacceptable.

But then I go pure STR, 2-hit the royal jelly, 5-hit cerebov, routinely 1-hit brimstone/ice/shadow fiends, and the game is so much easier.

Always go STR
