I've only started playing it recently too, but Fishing seems bretty OP. You can trade a couple of roasted pikes and some trash for a fine battleaxe/sword, and it's a great source of food.
It's a really comfy game though.
>>
>>144210530

A +0 morningstar will probably perform better than either of those, just based on how the game calculates damage. I'd brand it ASAP, it's a very good weapon that can carry you through most of the game until you find an eveningstar, or a good two-hander.

It's a special Lugonu altar. When it comes in to view, an item "emerges from the Abyss." This item is always forbidden under your current god (i.e. a wand of hasting for Chei worshippers.)
If you don't have a god, it's an amulet of faith.

if the monster's asleep or fleeing you always get a stab

otherwise if you have ninja stealth active it checks your level and stealth skill against their level in some weird function

sleep stabs are * (3 + level/20)
fleeing stabs are * 3/2
stealth stabs are * (5/2 + level/25)

also there's a chance to do *5 damage on any attack which stacks with those multipliers (and is more common on stabs than normal attacks)

and there's also a chance to fatally injure monsters which hits for half their maxhp. 1 in 666 on normal attacks, 1 in 11 on stabs (but not against uniques), and increasing chances if they're under half health

He's always awake. You just *CRIT* him for the first hit and that's it.

>>144228830
how big is J's monlite?

you pretty much have to step away to get ninjastealth and then step back to hit, and make sure to have lots of stealth skill.

also apparently if you use the rush attack skill it ignores penalties from monster light even if you're still inside it

on the bright side ninjas get a buff that gives them a 50% chance to just take 0 damage so that's pretty good for high level fights

Why is C:DDA so easy? All it takes even with the worst start possible is for you to find a knife, shred everything into rags, find a liquor store and a compressed airhorn and look a it go. Whole city's in flames with all the zombies dead. And that's not even getting into making a super Deathmobile and finding new towns to burn.

Most of the beef for Biskup was because he refused to release the source for ADOM despite not developing it for over a decade.

It cooled down since development began again. The kikery isn't bad either since he still puts out free updates.

You wont be for much longer, axes tend to favor a risky playstyle (letting enemies surround you and cleaving them down) eventually you're gonna bite more than you can chew, i've lost 3 incredibely strong axe cleavers with a shitton of regen just by getting too arrogant.

>>144240327
>and Fedhas was surprisingly good too. Haven't found an use for her abilities other than evolve, maybe some of you can tell me how to use them
You have to use its abilities creativily, you can use rain to carrot narrow passages or seal off sections of the dungeon, or create oklob farms and surround them with water and lure enemies into them, fedhas works extremely well with merfolk because you can shape the terrain to your own advantage
>>

I recommend you drop a the broadaxe and the shield.
Get a battleaxe or executioners axe (if you can find one)
A battleaxe of freezing is common drop from frost giants and can probably outdps that broadaxe even with a +0 enchant.

tl;dr one handed axes are shit

it is more accurate (in melee) to start with light weapons, though in practice I only rarely intentionally use a light main or off weapon for any real length of time. Really just keep adventuring and wailing on things and it will go up to Beginner and Skilled quite quickly, a bit until Expert, and a long while until Master

gloves of genji ego also help, as do the rare drop of Mephistopheles pic relateds that are the same but better (worn on my current balrog warrior)

Regarding weapon training, should i prioritize +hit? or the posibility to train that type of wapon over skilled? As a pala i'm torn beetween a *slay* orc warhammer and a *slay* human long sword.

Thanks guys. One more question, how do you kill Azog as a human? This is my first time playing one and I chose warrior because I usually play casters. Humans are just so weak though, usually I can get a race to 20-25 easily by messing around in orc caves and then kill Azog but even a level 20 something human gets destroyed. Do I just grind until 30 so I can get the awesome special ability? Which one is the best for warriors? I remember some guy posted a picture of the choices you can take and I saw ambidexterity and thought that would be awesome for a dual-wielding warrior.
>>
>>144244525
there's only one "regen" property, and it doesn't stack

same with everything else that only shows a single tick on your character sheed, like free action, hold life, sinv, etc
>>
>>144246781
basically all you need are some ?Phase Door, some !Cure Critical Wounds, 1 to 3 !Speed, and a decent map (keep regenerating the floor until you get something where he is without orc diggers and not in a huge open space where phase door can be deadly). Azog is naturally +10 speed so characters that aren't well above the curve will have trouble in melee.

Also, since you're a warrior (and thus pretty good at shooting) you can add in a bow and arrows (you can pay to enchant up your arrows in Morivant).

Quaff speed, shoot at him until he closes, hit him a bit, read phase when you take some damage, quaff potions until you're high hp, shoot at him until he closes, requaff speed if you run out, on loop until he dies

ambidexterity still gives a bonus but warriors are already pretty good at dual wielding

it would be better if you were some other class with a shitty dual wield skill

>>144247249
Cataclysm is about finding your own fun. If you find yourself balking at something, you need to change it up. When I was going to build my outer heaven, I took pacifist and a bunch of other stuff to weaken my character. In the end, I succumbed to a hulk. I could have easily beaten that hulk and not lost 10+ hours of building, crafting and honing my character if I had just used martial arts, ran the damn thing over or used survival suits. But I don't find that remotely enjoyable, and cata isn't the kind of game where I feel compelled to play optimally like crawl, so it was no skin off my nose. Give yourself a goal and avoid as much cheese as possible.

some day you may

warriors are super good at dual wield, though 2-handing a single weapon, or sword and board, are also good

the shooting potential can be nice too
>>
>>144246781
ambidexterity is good, however it does not stack with and is overruled by the "increases your ability to hit when wielding two weapons" effect of genji ego, mephi gloves, and the occasional super special randart. So if you plan to use those, don't take the mut, though having flexibility with not typing down your glove slot to that can be nice

ambi or genji effect is still pretty damn helpful to warriors as they really don't have alternatives to high-ac opponents besides accuracy, and genji on my current balrog warrior at least adds like ~11% to hit vs higher acs which is huge on almost 16 blows

remember that it isn't 52 damage +1100% buta it's actually 1d52

there are also multipliers from fighting and weapon skill, and with shortblades or boots of ass up to +30 slaying bonus before the multiplier, so if he rolls perfectly that stab could do up to 2890 damage, which would give you 9 or 10 exclamation points

And that dark maul stab was really underwhelming, I remember seeing a picture of someone getting a darkmaul stab and getting like 20 !'s, my best was 9 !'s, even with 23 STR.

I mean, if I stab with a dagger and all relevant skill maxxed, it should do hundreds of damage on a stab, right? Well if a dagger is base damage 4 and the dark maul is base damage 52, then it should do 13 times the damage, over 2000 damage. Is that represented by only 9 !'s? I don't know. I'm starting to think that picture was a little doctored in some way.

well those numbers are really rough, I don't know the actual damages regular dagger stabs can do. Can you 1-hit stab Antaeus, who has 750 HP? If daggers do 1100% damage on a maximum stab, then that means it would have to do 750/11 = 68 damage before the stabbing multiplier. And 68 damage with a dagger in plain combat seems fucking bonkers. But then crawl is renowned for having convoluted formulas, and I'm not a code diver, so what the heck am I getting at. I dunno. Boots of the assassin aren't as fun as they should be.

with the bottom end of uncannily stealthy, you have about a 10% chance of waking antaeus every turn you're in his LOS, not considering all the high HD ice fiends around him in his room, and the dozens of monsters you have to get by to even get into his room.

I hope you do get the stab, but I fear your chances of getting it are pretty slim.

short blades get up to +30 slaying for stabbing purposes depending on dex and skills, so a +0 dagger can easily do 300+ damage.

This was actually sort of hard and tedious. First, there was the king of the mad bears on this level so I had to quaff speed+hero+berserk to kick his ass. I kept getting confused and hallucinated by looking at Sathla so I had to cure crit and tele away. Finally, we met in this corridor and he (it?) didn't get that confuse+hallucinate shit off so I quaffed hero+speed (I had no more berserk left) and cut it up until I was low life so I phased away and quaffed the shit out of my cure crits and luckily I had some heavily enchanted arrows so I shaved of a star or two before finally killing it in melee. I'll probably attempt shelob after this. Also my white dragon got stolen by some invisible thief so may he rest in piece.

I guess it's nice if you find a fire-branded weapon or you play a swordmaster/mystic/samurai with a fire-brand spell.

>>144273437
Yeah that thing was around 10 levels higher than me and I managed to kill it with my well scimitar. Reminds me of the scimitar of flaming death from DCSS.

speaking of mystics

i was reallly disappointed when i found out that most of their class powers are just "do a melee blow, but with an elemental brand!"
they can also summon spiders i guess

So like, I'm playing Elona and I've been playing for a little while now. I just don't know what to do really I guess, do I just try and do the main quest now? I can barely fight anything on my own, I do no damage and seem to take a disgusting amount from anything bigger than a putit. Meanwhile my little girl does 35 - 50 each strike easily and seems to never take any damage.

Also I want to start a ranch but I can't find any monsterballs so I'm kinda getting bored.

well they mostly don't stack

sharpness, mana, and vampirism stack with anything, and mark of chaos stacks with other brands IF it randomly rolls the same brand

also the elemental brands stack with the samurai or mystic's powers to make branded melee attacks, so burning strike + flame brand does more damage than just flame brand alone

generally don't go unarmed without claws or transmutations

no, it literally gives a brand to your equipped weapon.

if you're wielding a +0 broken sword it will turn into a broken sword (death) and get vampirism and maybe slay living

>>

wrong?

your average super-diesel endgame character only actually uses a few bionics (UPS, elec resistance, tree eating...)

this change just means you get less opportunities to fuck around with the shitty useless bionics like fingertip lasers or smell-o-vision, because you will just never want to install them in the first place

so you definitely NEED one rank of resist but more are nice as well

Definitely swap the staff out, the dagger is nearly as much mana while also having rF.

Depending on your failrates with/without wiz you might swap that one or the int ring for another rF, and depending on your max mana you might swap the dagger out for the axe

you are only able to use 1 good or maybe two currently, it just takes a lot of slots. They plan to do something with the limitation to power storage as well, no more +20k power. You still have room for thouse crappy bionics.

At 8 Mechs, 8 Elecs, 6 first aid, and 20int from drugs, the failure rate is still 38%.
Failure stacks 40-50 points of damage on all body parts.
>>
>>144317124
that's still better than 1/2

if you have enough food and water to live in a van for a week or two it seems like it would be fine to just repeatedly attempt it and read books in the downtime
>>
>>144317124
Well "multiple chances" as in you can heal up and try again, whereas if you fail an application you lose the CBM forever. Also bandages heal quite a bit of damage with high first aid, so you should be able to heal up quickly for another go I think, although the pain might be debilitating.

Does failure fuck up your other bionics too?.

I don't know how much those weigh. You can check the formula here: https://github.com/poschengband/poschengband/blob/master/src/race_giant.c#L203 .

looks like the only things that matter are player level and strength

At level 50 with max strength you can throw anything with a weight of up to 1470, although maybe that's really 147.0 lbs.

potionmasters and scrollmasters get 5 blows per round cap, the hybrid number (instead of the usual mage-like devicemaster cap of 4) so I've taken it on attempts at that build.

pwmangband can be fun multiplayer actually (based on mangband, 'multiplayer angband') and TomeNet can be posted to the oook ladder though it's overall more like diablo than like angband in someways, as there are many players per server and it increments turns in realmtime whether or not you issue a command.

Sort of. The only electricity networks in the game are by using vehicles and jumper cables. There are motorcycle, car and truck alternators, as well as a "7.5kw generator", in successive levels of generation for engine size.

Make a car.
Make frames
Put truck alternators or rare generator on
Put engine on

>>144328440
Gas engine, fuel tank, alternator, some kind of battery, controls, and a frame is the bare minimum needed, I believe.

Getting that exec axe usable will take absolutely forever, and it looks like you already have a really great shield.

I cleaned up my PCB Demigod Mutations paste that I made a couple hours ago here for some anon. I want to link this version from the PCB pasta. How do I make it so that my paste can be communally editable (to fix any future errors or updates) without making a pastebin account? Else, can some other pasta-maintainer use their account? My currently fixed-up version is at http://pastebin.com/tbVphseF . Obviously if you disagree on some of these things we can talk and modify the suggestions if your point makes enough sense.

>should I use a death scythe hurr
well
no

BUT if you WERE to use a death scythe, you'd want to enchant it up at the weapon shop to fix that -50 accuracy, then wear all your +accuracy equipment, 2-hand-wield it, be a super melee class (ideally berserker), and then also not miss.

It is sometimes useful as a swap item on melee killdudes if you're having trouble with the "Casts Globe of Invulnerability" monsters, as death scythes cut right through invuln.

Every time you miss it tries to hit *YOU*!

Half experience is only when your summon kills something 100% by itself. Otherwise, its a weird split based on the damage you did vs. the summons. Even though they've been nerfed, they're still one of the easier ways to 3 rune on a hybrid. Fancy that.

The high base-type ammos (assuming they're not further dice-boosted, branded, or artifact, just a typical one of the best base type)

seeker bolts - 6d5 and used with crossbows

>>144335631
mithril shots are the best ammo for slings

for bows you want SEEKER arrows and for crossbows seeker bolts

>it carries an ancient arelgean curse
anyways they drop on the ground and are worth saving up some stacks in the home over time to combo with your good devices. Protip to make them stack more nicely: enchant them all up to the same value.

In the meantime there are good-but-not-as-big-as-seeker-arrows ammos that get more than 1d4 base damage, so keep an eye out for those middling ones too. Sometimes also the weaponshop, general store, or black market have ammo worth grabbing.

>blood curse
Basically when an Amberite dies, there's a chance it hits you with a blood curse, generally multiple times, which several times in a row to do Bad Things including summon, paralyze through free action, blight your equipment, etc. You get a chance to save against each different effect, so a high saving through can help a lot (and for the same reason, a source of Antimagic can help since it works by giving you a huge plus to your save).

https://github.com/poschengband/poschengband/blob/9558f8d0a1d8b4a67a7c626e18b894ac9ede080c/src/xtra2.c#L2896

Generally it means you don't want to kill an Amberite while you're super low hp yourself, even though against most other types of enemies it can be smart to take the chance to kill them instead of healing so as to remove the damage the monster represents.
>>
>>144336840
Right, I forgot zealots were a thing. I always neglect zealot and warrior-mage backgrounds.
>>
>>144336973
also it sometimes means you have to abandon the loot and the level if the blood curse summons awful things and you survive to teleport away

which feesbad, but is better than dying. ofc with tactics sometimes you can safely lure the threats away from the loot but YMMV
>>
>>144336381
I remember one time on the OG android rune knight, I killed an amberite and was paralyzed for several turns while a bunch of cyber demons, ancient wurms and a nazgul were fucking teleported right on top of my dick. Nearly died out of nowhere from what was a really easy fight.

>>144336718
well all the combat gods are good of course, as you have good apts and all the arms so you can be a real killdudes powerhouse
>>
>>144337168

blood curses can now EITHER paralyze or cyberdemon you, but never both at once
>>
>>144337494
yeah ditto for the ancient foul curse of morgoth
of course in the right situation a simple unstoppable paralyze can still end your game right quick so
>>
>>144337494
So it's still possible to get paralyzed and Great Wyrm of Power'd?

yeah you can

right now it just as special cases for "if I just paralyzed you, or if I just summoned cyberdemons on you, I am done looping ty_curse"

so you can get a bunch of bad shit happening and THEN get paralyzed and still maybe just die with nothing you could have done. Important IMO to preserve some of that.

>>144339189

nah though teleport-to or breathes storm/gravity/etc can fuck up your positioning, the antisummon tunnel(s) often still buy you several fairly safe turns of combat. It has to be deep enough or else some (relatively) smart monsters won't follow you in.

Sometimes if I'm really paranoid (generally from over-diving) I will prepare a small area with multiple ASCs so that I am more likely to land near one if I am moved. Also amulet of anti-teleportation can be super useful swap to keep yourself comfey in your corridor.

he's much harder if he gets an open space and some summons, because his summons all have abilities that move you around, making it hard to focus fire down the boss.

My first cycle win was a Titan's Fist with Slash + Electricity. The build was a veil tank; pump vitality, and acquire as many veils as you can, start with a fairy for healing. Your starting skills are strong, and you'll rely on them until you get more veils. Get malleable from a slime ASAP because you're going to soaking up damage the entire game, with two healers on your ass at all times; your third demon should be some form of ranged support. Target abilities: Fiery Veil (Kasha/Fotia), Poison Veil (Blobs), Arctic Veil (Asrai), Storm Veil (Hailteks? or whatever the fuck they're called; you already have this veil tho), Choking Veil (Ghouls?), and Alluring Veil from Pele, which is amazing for passively charming enemies even with 0 cunning. If you can't get Pele, you can just fill your last slot with whatever; I used the Crusader passive which applies guilt when you deal physical damage.

Second cycle was a Vodun Mask with Pierce + Pierce. The goal here is debilitate all of your enemies with dirty needles. Do 1 agi + 4 cun on level up. Start with a Freybug for Tormentor. Target abilities: Numbing Needle (start), Venomous (start), Tormentor (Freybug), Bloodlust (Centaur/Artemis), Infectious (Preta), Blood Rot (Chindi), Flesh Rot (Blob), Crusader (from a hero; Crusader is good because a ton of shit is actually Body resistant and a Light status effect will help your needles not be worthless). The two rot abilities will apply offense+defense down if you also applied infectious/poison/paralysis, and your huge cunning can usually apply at least one of these statuses to even body resistant foes. Early game before you get everything, you'll want to have Tireless (Gandayah) and Vigorous (from a hero).

The current cycle is just a Orb of Power blasty mage with a Dark + Ice start.

DCSS isn't "fun". If you play it for "fun" YOU are the problem - the cancer - the aids - the cyst - that NO single person in the rougelike community wants. Only 1% of the community play the game right. Fuck off with your stupid forced meme shit trying to justify this shit fucking game, I make so much $/hr on REAL games and sell it RWT - upward of thousands per month.

uh...you can try to get a good reswap, but statswapping is fairly uncommon.

It may be faster to restart, depending on how far in you are. Else, tough it out and find !Strength.

It's pretty awful at the moment I'm sure, but a lot of the mauler weapon drops come with big +strength that they don't need as they're already overflowing 18/220 quickly, so maybe you'll be fine.

Lots of amulet and wand changes. No more rMut, clarity, warding or stasis. Amulet of buckler, blink dudes, regen magic, deal and take 30% extra damage instead. No more ring of invis or evocable ring of tele. No more wand of cold/fire/draining/fireball/invis. Wand of acid/ice ball instead. cure mutation is more common and mutators less common. Elf was changed to be more dangerous. Depths is more dangerous. Hell is more dangerous.

Pretty sure it's a reference to Metal Gear where you can capture one for the unlimited ammo paint or something like that. Also in Metal Gear they're permanently invisible too so that's probably why you've never been able to see one so I guess you just blindly walk around in the wilderness and if you manage to hit and kill it by some freak chance you can get the reward.

make a macro of <some unused key> to your casting key combination. Macros are pretty much a lifesaver for any caster.

Especially easy if you use the roguelike_keyset option because then keys 1-9 free up.

What's a good combination to move onto from MiFi?

>>144359294
uh...ideally better to be able to save it for the big J summon turns, but it can also save you versus Vecna I suppose. I wouldn't carry it without at least double fire resist, or single resist and careful use of !ResFire

generally I just save those for the final fight, since they're so goddamn hard to stack up. But maybe having one for Vecna isn't awful. Better not to need it though.

You compared a troll with a Mummy. A race with Claws 3, +30% HP, intrinsic regeneration and monstrous Str to the weakest race in the game.

Then you go and say CeHus, who have +4 bows apt, are fast, have +10% HP and one of the strongest aux attacks in the game just because they removed branded ammunition

Then you dismiss Hill Orcs, who are Mi lite, as bad simply because they're bad if you use bad items and bad positioning
