It's fucking awful. I want to speedrun the game because that's how I like to play but evokable teleport is removed, along with the best wands.

What a joke. Roguelikes are supposed to be about playing however you want to play but the devs are trying to push this stupid "hurr play how we want you to play" agenda. They can fuck off.

>Roguelikes are supposed to be about playing however you want to play

what

Just because that's a staple of *bands/hacks doesn't mean it's an intrinsic part of being a roguelike. Rogue itself was *not* a "play however you want" kind of game.

battlesphere's damage is unrelated to the spells you cast

>>
>>173958604
ranger has 5% minfail though
even if you grind spell proficiency to master level and get that sweet 3% fail... it's still worse than a scroll

meanwhile craft lets you have an infinite supply of branded arrows lategame and lets you run over earlygame because enchanted shooters are OP and don't even depend on having good stats to do damage
but then again if you wanna do that you may as well skillmaster, since they can use craft magic better than rangers can and can actually cast mana branding

>>173984259
>it's still worse than a scroll
Yeah, but scrolls are not guaranteed and occupy space.
>>
>>173984375
...so do spellbooks

and scrolls of telelevel are pretty common, you get way more of them than you need. they're an item you want to HAVE AROUND for emergency purposes but not an item you actually use very often, like ?blink in crawl
>>
>>173984439
>...so do spellbooks
I-
I didn't think about that.
>>
basically realms with "emergency" spells like telelevel or bighealz are only really great if you can hit 0% fail on them

the kind of situations where you want to cast a 1000hp heal are the kind where you may die if it fails, and having a 5% chance for that to happen every time is way too high
>>
You know what can't fail?
Potions.

I think I'm going to play a yeek alchemist to test out the class.
>>
are rangers allowed to re-pick second realm like mages do? Though ofc they don't have 9999 extra spell slots so it may be harder and you'll want to avoid learning things you don't need as much if you plan to later swap.

In any case trump is still reasonable. Sure, craft has more direct combat power, but dimension door is super fun (I usually get it through sorcery realm myself though). Trump and Craft respectively having DDoor and Walk Through Wall is really nice combo with Wall of Stone. So is Death's Wraithform for that matter, though IDK if a ranger will ever have the mana to actually cast those two spells in one cycle...I guess you could rest inside your wall though.

>>173985056
yeah but there are also a lot of times that are less emergency where it's nice to have the effect reusably from a book. Destruction is a good example of this...I still carry a scroll of it in emergencies on characters that bookcast it, but there are a lot of utility scenarios where you have the time and space to bookcast it several times safely, and it helps you out. Ddoor for example is still really useful even at 5% fail, for chasing blinkers, setting up good engages, saving headache when you just want to jump to that room without walking the long way around, etc.
>>
>>173985319
everyone with 2realms can repick second realm

If you're a mage you want the realm with your emergency escape shit to be realm1 though probably, and rangers always have nature as realm1 so that can't work
>>
>he plays caves of quck
>>
Alright so.

Alchemist sounds fun.

Restore life levels/resist cold/fire/boldness/restore stat pots can be harvested to get tier 1 potion materials, which in term can be used to craft Healing pots and restore mana pots (*really* good considering they spawn in both shops in large stacks almost all the time, that would make healing and restore mana pretty much granted throughout all the game).

Tier 2 chemicals can be harvested from statpots and are needed to make all statpots and *healing*. No chance of turning tier 1 chemicals into tier 2 chemicals at a high price for infinte statpots.

I'm trying to see if there's some pots that give tier 2 chemicals that can be found in a shop, but it looks like tier 0 and tier 1 are the only one available.

FLAOTrand here can confirm?
>>
>>173987378
not floatrand but you can just look for yourself:
https://github.com/floatRand/PoschengbandR/blob/master/src/alchemist.c

only tier2 potions are stat pots, *healing*, life, *enlightenment*, exp, invuln, and newlife

*enlightenment* used to be tier1 due to an oversight so you could get infinite free int and wis

>>173987679

Sadly that makes tier 2 extremely grindy to find.
>>173987862
But !Poly is kinda shit. I mean, muts in general are kinda meh at best.
>>
>>173987998
!poly is not the same as polymorph activation, it jsut gives you random muts with no chance of racechange or statloss
>>
>>173988072
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that picking a specific race that's kinda shit just to get a shitton of random good and bad muts (and considering that there is no way to target bad muts to remove them, so if you go to Zul and try to remove the -2 speed one you might lose that +4 int instead) is kinda meh.
Unless beastmen can cherrypick badmuts? I haven't actually ever played one.

Clearly, I'm just making thermite bombs out of etch-a-sketches.

>>
You can start making those from level 35 too, if you have about 18/60 int.
Considering that a yeek alchemist has a xp modifier of 89%, that's about 200 K XP (or 2 xp pots).

Fun class.
>>
>>173988787
600 unresisted is definitely high end
keep in mind that huge numbers on most combat is in practice a lot lower due to accuracy against high ACs, and similarly many high damage spells have a resistable element.

600 unresistable AoE damage is very good. See also: manastorm.

These are strong classes because people found out something in the code that made them really strong. Except for yeeks, in their case it's just their acid immunity and fast leveling.

Playing the game the way it's "supposed" to be played is boring. Finding new roads is the best thing.

other fun things:
alchemists have access to time damage through potions of decrease stat (and Ruination which does more damage)
They can inflict monster amnesia as well by throwing !amnesia, which is mostly inaccessible to the player (except as a rare time damage side effect) and is probably either OP or useless.

I remember hex mages (or was it blue mages) could learn amnesia and it did fuckall.

decrease stat pots do something like 100 time damage at level 50. Hell, even restore mana does only 200 mana damage at level 50.
Death pots seem really strong, if the monster isn't an undead/demon/nonliving, considering it does playerlevel*200 damage. You could chuck one at oberon and oneshot him.

Honestly the only ones I'd actually use would be detonations and death. The other do sub-par damage even per turn by the time you can use them.

What kind of itemdestroyer should a beginner use?

The default one.

>>173993205
death pots do deathray damage
it's supposed to be enough damage to get an instant kill (just like the death ray spell in Death realm), but everything gets a pretty easy saving throw to avoid the damage and uniques are nearly immune
>>
>>173993370
Just detonations, then.

>is there any chance I'll find a better weapon
Yes, but Eos is a nice weapon all around and great for the early/mid/anything not elec resistant late game. However, I'd still much rather use the handaxe of elec for the cleaving effect which attacks all enemies around you and also procs the elec brand on them. The handaxe is also faster than the morningstar once you hit mindelay and elec brand works best on fast weapons. Not that the speed difference is that big, but cleave >all.
Hill Orcs also have way better axe aptitude so you'll hit 14 for the handaxe mindelay pretty fast. Considering Flails crosstrain with Axes, you'll also "increaase" your skill with them if you by training axes. Keep Eos for enemies like Hydras or powerful single targets.

It actually makes it viable since the umbra increases your stealth by retarded amounts, thus actually allowing you to stab most things, including chain stab through multiple targets pretty much as soon as you start worshipping him with races that have great stealth apt/bonuses like Octopodes and the enemy accuracy penalty is really noticeable.

Yes, much has changed. Lot's of surface level and char gen stuff, vehicles are way different now, recipes are different and some need to be learned or used out of books.

ToME is good when played as intended. The problem is that people got tryhard and started playing NIghtmare and higher difficulties in Roguelike mode for dick measuring purposes and ruined the game because it was never balanced for those difficulties.

Getting oneshotted on Normal mode is pretty hard to do.

i once got oneshot as a brawler back before the class was reworked to actually be about wrasslin'

they used to just be all about "i have a prodigy that gives me a chance to punch whenever i attack and i have a skill that gives me a chance to punch again whenever i attack and i have a flurry spell that makes me punch 4 times in a turn"

there was some randunique with like 5 different elements of retaliation-on-hit damage. i pressed flurry at him once, punched a billion times, and instantly died

Okay yeah, flurrying a thorns enemy is a pretty easy way to die. That's also a classic fault though.

You forgot to mention that you also wear gauntlets that give on-hit effects like breath attacks, or more attacks, so you'd attack 3+ times every turn while proccing acid breath and lightning and shit. ToME 4 brawlers are fun as fuck.
>>
>>174011509
yeah that's a fault that you can avoid by just reading the enemy's character sheet before fighting him

the problem with tome is that the charsheets are so bloated that if you read every elite+ enemy's sheet before fighting it you will want to kill yourself before clearing 2 dungeons

+ Mak or TSO and rn+++/Statue Form/haste/holy word
It was well known to be one of the hardest branches even before so frankly by time you do it you should already have enough skills to at least cast Statue Form or the rn+++
>>
>>174011779
It would be nice if thorns was something you could just mouse over to see. Elites shouldn't be so strong you can't just Rush them once and and see if you take much retaliation, then flurry or stun and flurry (I'm pretty sure stun and daze actually reduce retaliation damage anyway). Randbosses are probably worth looking at though, but they aren't that common. I have a Skeleton Brawler win back in like 1.0.2 and back then I didn't even check enemy skills, just looked at their sustains to see what class(es) they are.
>>
>>174011779
See, that's my biggest fault with ToME, aside from the horrible engine it's made in that lags like shit and leaks memory. I shouldn't need to do that shit. I should only need to look at an enemy if I've forgotten what they do.

What does DE or worshipping Vehumet have anything to do with clearing Tomb as a caster? You know all the bloat spells right? Then just use them and cross your fingers you'll clear it. Clearing Tomb via caster pre-extended speedrunning might not be viable anymore but you only lose a few hundred turns travelling so it doesn't really matter and the only real problem is the loss of stairdancing.

>>174024274

Ashenzari let's you transfer your skill (very useful), see through walls, and have clarity of mind.

>>174024653
>Ash should gift manuals.

That'd be sick as hell, but it'd undoubtedly be removed. Manuals are too powerful to be regularly found, let alone gifted.

Plus it's kind of overkill since Ash boosts your skills. I suppose if the boosts were replaced with manuals, that'd be an interesting mechanic and potentially not overpowered.
>>
What is the best overall god in DCSS then? TSO?
>>
>>174025180
Mak
Trog
>>
>>174024837

But I do, can't help it that you only have games that only have rings as swappables because you can barely get out of early game.
>>
>>174024678
You accidentally get shitty manuals, like 10 manuals of Ice Magic in Ice Cave.
You learn Ice Magic while transferring it to other useful skills for +4 skill aptitude bonus.
>>
>>174025180
I'm a TSO fanboy, so yeah.

Everything being Corona'd, auto SInv, rN+++ at high piety, strongest and most versatile summons in the game, reasonably powerful AoE invoke, Divine Shield, +2 blessing for a weapon, and healing on evil kills is amazing. TSO's only weakness is that he doesn't give you that much offense to start off with, besides the up-close haloing -- but even that extra accuracy can save you, when you're low-skilled and can't hit crap.

IMO, the perks of Makhleb require that you be strong in the first place. The healing from kills is the only real defense that you get with him -- it's not ideal for sticky situations. Indeed, Makhleb's invocations all hurt you a little bit, which can make bad situations worse. In comparison, TSO gives you a lot of offensive and defensive options, including at bare minimum the good gods' saving throw.

I'd say Trog gets the title of second best overall god. He's unmatchable in the early game, and he can carry even a complete fucking idiot to their first rune as long as they understand Berserk and use Trog's Hand in the right places. He falls off in the late game and extended, where groups of enemies are stronger and the Slow/Exhaustion from berserking is no longer acceptable. But the antimagic weapon gifts are superb.

Misworded it because I'm sleepy and stupid:

Public domain and open source are similar but not the same. Open source usually implies that it's "free software" -- you can freely look at, edit, and share the software and even just take bits of it (in the case of Crawl taking some of Nethack's tiles). But you *have* to do all of that for free, and your potentially new product must be free (and open source, I think), too.

Public domain means you can lift specific elements and sell them if you so choose.

So tl;dr:

Everything in Crawl -- code, tiles, etc. -- is open source. The only things that are public domain, as far as I can tell, are *some* of the tiles.
>>
>>174032235
Gozag is unreliable in the same way that Tinder is unreliable for Rob Gronkowski. Which is to say not unreliable at al. You don't know exactly what you're going to get but it's going to be good.
>>
>>174032334
>>174032981
And to answer your question, Nethack _is_ open source. At least, that's what its license seems to suggest:

https://github.com/Vanilla-NetHack/NetHack/blob/master/dat/license
(technically from 3.4.3, but 3.6.0 has the same thing)

But Nethack is not public domain.

>isn't he unreliable
Not if you are a race that can use most slots
Armor shops are often the best choice due to biggest coverage of gear so chances are there will be something good
Weapon shops are also good but there's always the possibilty of finding something you don't have the skill for
There's often a randart or two on the shops, sometimes even more
Also the jew daze passive is great, and the pot petition works as a nice panic button

Jew gold passive is incredibly good, both for running away and getting free stabs. At a certain point, you have enough dosh to get 10+ potion petitions while you wait for high level shops. He gears you up in the end game to zig tier levels of power. Gozag is bretty good, try him out on a mummy fighter.

Well, you're probably aware that those games can use hjklyubn, so that's an option.

DCSS at least allows further remapping, so you can use WASD if you like.

While some games are exceptions and memers might say otherwise, you NEED diagonals for any serious roguelike.

I've ben reading over "Obsolete Articles" because the game felt off to me (used to play it years ago, came back to it).

They've removed so much cool stuff it's ridiculous. Are they doing this to troll players at this point? The flavor of crawl is almost gone. It's a meme that they seem unaware of being a part of, how can these devs be so unaware fucking devs Reeeeeeee

The devs are a bunch of goons and pretentious autists following a self-destructive "design philosophy". In the dcss devteam, virtue signaling and being best buddies with other devs matters more than not being fucking retarded. Unsurprisingly nepotism produces pure shit.

Potions of cure and beneficial mutation are gone

Unless you are playing Zin, once you get mutated you can scramble your actual mutations by using a potion of mutation it strips 2-6 mutations, add 1-3 random mutations, then add one good mutation in that order.

So it goes beyond "quaff cure mut"

>>174085218
!mut tends towards twice as many mutations removed than added, setting aside the goodmut.
>>
>>174083889
I think the *major* issue is that, in contrast to what was said in the "200+ cooks, no chef" article, the devs rarely re-implement and improve things that get removed.

For some things, it makes sense: if a race is considered bloaty, it makes sense not to bring it back; if certain interface/tedium issues are worked out, it makes sense not to bring them back if everyone is satisfied.

But with the number of removals in the past few versions, quite a few things could stand to be re-included or at least seriously reconsidered (e.g. a number of enemies who have no real equivalents). It's sad that Pakellas is one of the ***only*** things from <=0.18 that MIGHT get into 0.20 and very likely won't.
>>
>>174085708

Eh, clarity was a swap in but still very useful IMO. Makes a big difference in Shoals especially. I see what you mean though, but at the same time it's nice to have a little nuance to the game. It adds variety.

>>
>>174086386
This is the downside of not having a lead (or even a plan, really). You basically need the person who originally implemented something to come back and work on it, since otherwise if no one cared enough to fix it before removing it, definitely no one is going to put in the effort to try and get it re-added.

DDA has similar problems with half-implemented features.

The real problem is the design philosophy and all of those legally retarded wannabe game designers latching onto it like the holy bible. They think pointless removals and """"""anti-scumming"""""""" features like OoD clock and energy randomization are good, and they often use it to decrease player options and player choice. Sometimes they remove and nerf shit just to slap their micropenises on the players' faces.

They claim to reduce bloat and remove "annoying" things from the game, while actually introducing more annoying shit and refusing to remove things that ACTUALLY make the game tedious and unfun to play like spell hunger. Who the fuck even likes spell hunger and crawl's "nuh uh I won't eat this corpse that will rot away in a couple of dozen turns after creation because I'm not hungry enough" hunger """""""balance""""""" mechanics.

DCSS devs are control freaks and anyone who still plays that pile of shit is a stockholm syndromed gimp bitchboy. Crawl has been dead for years.

Crawl's problem is they have too many cooks and all of said cooks are so traumatized by nethack's "i dunno let's put it in lol" design philosophy that they've gone the exact opposite direction and will soon produce a roguelike with no features.

The saddest part is it's still one of the best roguelikes available, and still way more fun than nethack.

I feel awful for the guy who coded Wu Jian.

To see something you worked on for an entire year picked apart and Tavern'd until it's just a mediocre and uninteresting shell of its former self - just imagine sitting there and watching all your work be slowly undone by some lazy cunt "dev" whose greatest contribution to DCSS was switching the gender of a monster. Then, when you raise concerns, you get that smug, passive-aggressive non-response of "lol omg who cares it's just a game chill dood" from the same gaggle of catty bitches who flip their shit over Erolcha being called "ugly" and The Sword of Jihad.

You legitimately try, and your efforts are rewarded with raised eyebrows, as if everyone on the devteam is a high school girl. It reminds me a lot of the story behind Spore.

That's one of the major issues behind development.

With such a large development team, all discussions end up taking place behind closed doors, in private channels or in personal messages. If you want your commits to stay, you have to end up creating a coalition. Even in the interview with minmay, he says that the most important characteristic of a would-be developer isn't the ability to code but the ability to "socialize".

I'm not >>174092695, but I checked:

While the idea of renaming Krishna was discussed -- only on Tavern, and only for a short period of time, with mostly non-devs, and with NO ACTUAL CONSENSUS besides "minmay thinks we should change the name" -- the actual new name was not.

Gammafunk was the only person to raise a stink about the new name for Sharnga, which is why Sharnga->First Bow got reverted by him.

And then the discussion about the new name moved towards giving the bow more interesting properties (good!), except gammafunk and Lasty ignored all of that and just focused on the name, which could have been sweet (and there were some suggestions). Once Lasty chose Zephyr himself, that's the name that was stuck with, and then with a little bit of time, he committed the change.

>>174094785

>>
>>174095360
Base damage trumps everything. However, you also have to take into account your skill. At 16 axes a Battleaxe might be abetter choice than an Executioner's axe, but a once you reach mindelay with an Exec axe you'll be cleaving motherfuckers across the screen. Good brands late are antimagic (amazing in extended against annoying casters but good luck finding one if you're not worshipping Trog), holy wrath (amazing against anything else but you'll need to have it blessed by TSO), distortion (top tier flat damage bonus but kinda annoying, can banish/tele/blink enemies, plus unwielding it risks all sorts of shit if you're not a Lugonu worshipper), Pain if you're using Necromancy, or Elec if you simply don't qualify for the rest.

Freezing is okay if you cant get any other brand, Flaming is only worth it early and crucial against hydras, Vamp drops off like a truck in extended but can carry you til Zot in a 3 rune game without breaking a sweat. Draining, Venom and Protection are only decent early and Vorpal is for boring nerds. Oh and Xom can suck my Chaotic dick with his hasted berserked xtahua

It's not that shields are bad anon, it's that lategame (extended, so nothing past 5 runes at best) involves a lot of bad shit that a shield does virtually fuck-all against (mummy death curses in Tomb, malmutations, Torment, which cuts your current HP in half and Damnation, which is an unavoidable piece of shit spam hurled by asshole demons). The exp used in skilling shields can be used for much bettter purposes instead skilling magic/invocations/other skills that help you avoid those shitty damage sources.

Plus 1h axes are just mediocre weapons damage-wise, if you want a 1h weapon you go long blades if you're a race with high EV, short blade if you're stabbing or m&f if neither of the two apply.

The problem with Wu Jian is that its niche is making movement more optimal than TAB. That is its problem, tedium that you're forced to do since it's optimal just like the same problem Charms has now except it's way more severe since it's movement that's merged with TAB.

And if you nerf its movement skills so they're not way more optimal compared to tab, the god would become near useless. It's one thing if it's just an overpowered active skill so it won't overlap with tab; a lot of considerations and looking the other way could be given but a passive skill that merges with tab just won't do since tabbing is what the player does most in the game, if you make tabbing more complicated, it'd go against the design goal. It's quite problematic

Spells already fills that niche of a fighting style of making the game more complicated than tab and for the record, they have way more lategame potential than simple tabbing thus making it unique and meaningful. Wu Jian
simply doesn't have that, you'd get the passive movements as soon as you obtain the piety for them and do them ad infinitum, at least spells use mana.

And if you put piety costs for movement skills, it'd go against the design goal of Steel Neutron of making the passive movements a staple for the god. It was a doomed effort right from the start

Wanting to be a part of something, loneliness, etc. Plus maybe the game formerly known as crawl is his favorite game in the world and he really wants to improve it.
>>
A million ideaguys would still need a good idea to produce decent input
>>
>>174106874
From what I can tell, the gist is:
* minmay created a bunch of vaults for the game some years ago (maybe/probably still does, i dunno)
* they've played the game a bunch and posted often in tavern, ##crawl, and ##crawl-dev
* all of this gives them (i honestly don't know if "they" are a man or woman, since their tavern name is duvessa...) the appearance of knowing a lot about the game and being right about the game's direction

Honestly, minmay isn't the problem. The problem is the people with commit access who lack the ability think for themselves. And I guess the secondary problem is that there are really *are* a lot of smart and non-retarded devs on the team, but they can't be arsed to deal with the most virtue-signalling and idiotic devs among them.

Fucking cunt roguelikes suck up my fucking life

It's so hard to bother being careful after playing for 5 hours, that more often than not my character in ToME4 dies because I do some stupid shit like use a regen over time heal rather than a straight heal because I can't be bothered thinking about how much damage I'll take from 2 stupid cunts the next turn.

Why isn't Crawl more like nethack/angbands

They've spent years adding and removing content, so the game is literally the same as it was 10 years ago
Except now you have more Gods
>>
>>174127386
Nethack is also the same as it was 10 years ago.

Truly Angband is the most advanced major roguelike.
>>
>>174127386
Because no one wants to maintain a fork, so everyone just plays the base game.
>>
>>174127386
Angband's code is famous for being clean and easy to work with.

Crawl's code is another story. If you're going to go through the trouble of making your own super unique fork, you might as well make your own game at that point.

What sort of weapon i shoud use if i didnt find any flame brand axes for swamp? Maces and swords dont crosstrain so best option was a mace for it, had no great maces and eveningstar is similar to dire flail, sort of, didnt wanna cripple myself too much
And i didnt know he was approaching when i dont pay much attention to logs
>>
>>174132529
Literally use Qaz to kill hydras if you can't melee them. You get a ton of piety for chilling all the chaff, so use it. The great thing about lerny is he announces himself with >you hear a crashing noise in the distance, so its 100% your fault this time. I don't know that you've used Qaz before, but he asks for a large investment of exp. If you give it to him, you literally don't have to deal with nonsense like that. You have the strongest offensive panic button in the game, and you didn't' use it. For reference, a max power Qaz bomb can 1hko stuff like Seraph and orbs of fire. You can easily use that ability 3+ times before your piety runs low, and popping it once or twice to clear a singular dude is not a wrong thing to do.

Meleeing lerny is always a risky move. Naga has max possible HD, so chances are most heads will hit for damage through AC. You have to be absolutely sure you can shrek him if you go for it. One of the few times quaffing berserk would be OK.

Its ok anon, not many people are. He requires some tight xp budgeting, but if you make it work you have an easy 4 rune win.

Achieve 20 invocations by the time you finish lair, and reinvest your fighting/dodging/polearms/armour until you're more solid. Afterwards, 27 invocations. All of that is attainable before your third rune. Just fucking explode all the time, and kill the dudes.

If you are the formicid guy then Mak is even more recommended since lol no tele/haste/blink

Qazlal is THE formicid god for a 3 runer. They have good invocations aptitudes so upheaval and disaster area can get to amazing power with relatively quickly leveled invocations. The summons can be okay as a means of escape but they're really lacking. Upheaval and disaster area is where it's at. BTW, with disaster area, you don't want a lot of open space (unless you're on V:5), you actually want your enemies to be in as small and enclosed areas as possible to minimise the risk of multiple upheavals whiffing. Funneling things into a corridor however and popping disaster area is one of the most satisfying feelings and you can easily wipe panlords with it.

I was on a roll for 15 rune, i had godlike items few days back but i made a booboo on dance floor in pan and died, sadly.. Maybe using qaz powers would save me there easily but i just panicked a bit.. Heres the morgue file, dont bully too much plz https://underhound.eu:81/crawl/morgue/rlgrobin/morgue-rlgrobin-20170413-161409.txt

15 runes without Mak/TSO requires you to actually be quite good at the game, don't feel bad anon

What are some fun Roguelikes to try?

I've played ADoM and beaten it (once), ToME (Beat twice on babby mode), and I played a little of Caves of Quck.

Alternatively, how do I git gud at ToME?
I've beaten it on Normal Adventure with Brawler and Demonologist. And the Orc campaign with Saw Butcher.

>How to get good at tome
become highly methodical and autismal or don't play above normal/nightmare-roguelike.

don't play adventure.
>>
>>174155114
Qaz is a big NO in pandemonium. You will basically face endless goddamn stream of tormentors/hellions/tier 1 demons. If you want extended on a formicid, you basically have to go Lugonu or Zin, or if you're really confident in your gear TSO or Makhleb. But not Qaz.

>>174155446
.18 DCSS or PCB if you haven't played those, they're worth playing for the novelty alone.

Oh, I should probably have also mentioned that I enjoyed ToME the most, though I'm not very good at it.

DrTm Oka or Makleb? I feel like the heroism would be fantastic, but I feel like im missing out with the weapons gifts.

(I don't feel like going che this run, i like haste)

I'd actually take Ashenzari, but Makhleb is generally good on everything and everyone
>>
half the shit I do here becomes a /rlg/ trademark
I wonder if I killed myself there'd be no /rlg/
>>
yes it is
>>
where's dicku
>>
>>174156561
Mak since draconian defenses are shitty, the damage with blade hands is godly though
Also Mak hp on kills will support you until the rng decides to gift you books with dragon/hydra/statue form

I got your dicku right here

>>174156631
Take it from me, even if you leave they still do all the shit you joke around about.
