>>
>>176083730
IMHO, he could have done Coc, but he knew he'd go through a bunch of blink scrolls on the last floor. There should've been a clause to let him evoke flying just for that rune -- if dicks or whoever made the MuMo image ever amends the rules, the no-evokables rules should be changed to "No evokables -- but you can fly on the last floor of Cocytus."

But he really did chicken out of Gehenna.

Still, the fact that he did Dis and Tartarus was fucking beautiful. One of the highlights of the past few months.

>>176084346
depends...get into Arena as soon as possible to jumpstart late drops, and some quests (especially Cloning Pits and Old Castle) have a set of class-specific reward possibilities, though you may not get the good one. But again those are not necessarily easy quests, especially the latter.

Lonely Mountain 39 is an okay spot to farm stat potions and dragons, or better yet 40 if you can handle Smaug since stat potions are native to 40. Still best to transition to a high dungeon especially Arena ASAP.

No, he summoned Morgoth+Wong, I think it has something to do with the summon uniques code where they won't be low level uniques no matter what, same as how the Serpent does it.

I mean, maybe some enemy around level 15 has summon monsters as a spell, and that would work...? Otherwise it's back to recalling once I take out a few remaining ones.

>>176084009
how many runs have you played? the first 5 levels are just that, you either find a weapon that will be good for the next few dungeons, ghost gives you uber armor or find a flask and keep it always maxed
if you die, one of your 'important' items will be in a corpse in the dungeon you died. Playing the same class over and over is highly rewarded imo

I had no blinks. I had none. Couldn't cast because troll. Was gonna go chei if I ever found necronom, but never did. I could have spammed tele until I ended up somewhere safe and RUK'd my way through but I was already spending a lot of time in pan and getting frustrated by the limitations of tab with troll skill levels.

I guess I also did not expect Seraph and crew to be so much more diesel than the pan lord groups that I was tearing through even while soaking up the occasional torments and hellfires.

I guess now I have a clear benchmark for how much it is not a good idea to try to go beastmode on seraph, I couldn't even kill his adds for more health

It used to mainly be because I'd take 150 damage at a time from Silver Stars after drifting through pan for a while, though at least one time I also bit it from pearl dragon breath hoping to get that sweet hide.
>>
>>176106238
>that feel when you kill a pearl dragon for the hide but you're playing an older version so you have to butcher the corpse but you forgot you're worshipping tso so you can't desecrate holy remains but you didn't pay attention to the warning so now you're under penance and you can't gain any piety because there are no demons or undead in holy pan so you die to durably summoned devas after you're low hp from fighting a pearl dragon
it's a highly specific kind of feel

So hellcrawl removes lair entirely, and really only gives you 1 lair branch. On top of that, branches are only 3 floors. Its a nonstop nightmare of fighting. I don't even know what to do here. Do I just go depths and soak xp? I lose a rune if I do that, but I will probably die trying to snag it. I have almost no consumables from shoals, and JUST now got my laj. This is insanity.

Seraph has more HP than a panlord, but less than the unique panlords. He is pretty easy to burst down with the right tools, but gofast troll amusingly struggles with that. His summons are no joke.

Wutang. Gnolls. Lvl 2 poison spell. Infestation. I'm warming up to the wand reworks as well, since the hex wands work with such low evocations. It makes actual hexes look like a joke.

>>176106749
I'm a big fan of ants with staves, but I was also kind of messing around with this guy to see hellcrawl. I also really suck with axes. I had to pivot from staves to polearms to make sure I had a good weapon, which ate some exp that would have gone to dodging. The laj only came last floor; very bittersweet. Keep in mind that I'm XL 17. In normal crawl, I'd literally be 10 levels higher when trying this out.

16 base damage is respectable.

Great mace is only 1 base damage more than laj and takes 6 more skill for mindelay. Triple sword 10 more to mindelay, and I suspect that riposte is shit with shields since block is before dodge. And ex axe is a whopping 12 extra skill to mindelay.

Why would you ever play a caster over a MiBe or TrMo?
Those are literally the most powerful combos and they can handle anything the game throws at you with easy. Why limit yourself by playing squishy mages?
>>
>>176107846
But low skill and naturally high str lends itself to the hybrid bullshit that I love so much. Where is the fun in tabbing when I could instead be tabbing with a spectral weapon, 2 mana vipers with regen up? All for the low cost of using a medium armour and a mariginally less useful weapon. An even funnier side effect of going 14 staves is that you can get a sacred scourge for extremely cheap if you want it. Literally cannot stop using the cheapest min delay possible.
>>
>>176108063
>sacred scourge
my love for sacred scourges is great, but as a formicid if you're not using a +9 exec axe of holy wrath at 27 skill by the time you're doing pan and hells, you're simply incorrectly having fun with the game
>>
>>176108046
honestly lajatangs are shit and the only reason to train staves is to get them to exactly 12 for evoker staff mindelay and then train fighting/evo/element for damage. evoker staff+buckler shits all over lajatang any day of the week.
>>
>>176108159
Like I said, that ant was shatter glaciating in GDA with 1% fail instead of swinging a huge stick. My definition of fun and dreams is simply different. I even fucked around with that guy and got 27 invo/evo and borg's. IIRC, I spent all the exp I would have used on weapons in the midgame on poison spells instead. It was a great time.

This is actually one of my old favorite combos, back from the days when sludge elves were still around and torment was a spell you could cast and demonspawns would mutations that let them hurl bolts of draining sometimes. Main reason I stopped playing HE was because it wasn't SE. They said they removed SE because it was too much like Merfolk, but that's bullshit.

All teasing of COBRA aside though, air magic is really solid and one of the most fun books to start with because of multizaps.
>>
>>176109410
A normal race won't be grabbing nearly the same amount of utility spells while maintaining solid defenses and melee. Gnolls literally do everything, and you just have to deal with investing to 14 for min delay. It sucks, but that is the cost of having all the spells. They're much worse with the shitty -9 nerf though.
>>
>>176109625
solid defense requires getting more than 10 dodging and 10 armour
getting level 3 utility spells is easy on any race that isn't wearing massively heavy armour with low str
gnolls are below average in my book

Unless they worship Ash. The huge amount of overlap with ashenzari while also being basically worse in every way than a human worshiping ash regardless of god choice is a really stupid design decision. Pretty much all you can do is worship Ru while sniffing treasure and trying to ninja around without being able to cast shatter effectively in a game where controlled blink is also removed as a spell.
>>
>>176109745
25/25/9 is easily obtainable and will serve just fine in a 3 rune since you also hit 200 HP at 27 with like 14 fighting. The thing about the utility spells is that you have them before lair, and never stop picking up more outside of your initial schools. You just pick whatever shows up with no regard to how it'll affect your development. You can also do stuff like train SB to 8 just because you got a shortblade of venom, and drop them completely once in lair to grab a real weapon with no consequences. No other character would dream of pulling the shit that gnolls can do. Exp just stops mattering.

>>176109964
I will say that Ashen is basically mandatory if you want to spellcast your way to victory with anything higher than a level 5. Gnolls really want to use a staff of wiz, or rings of wiz. Maybe vehumet would be an ok choice, but I've only won the one who went summoning. I don't really want to play them now that they go to -9.
>>
>>176108061
Most experienced players find those combos just too boring/easy.
The extra challenge and need for more careful play is what keeps it interesting. MiBe is just mindlessly tabbing.
Get gud.

MiBe and TrMo are really only good if you're going for 3 rune ez gaem win. Even then Deep Dwarf kind of shits all over them in a lot of contexts. If you wanted to actually get winrate or survive you might as well just pick Tm every single time because Tm gives you a book that gives you the entire toolset for clearing D and L, and if you have any idea what you're doing you might as well say blade hands carries you through O, E, and V, basically far enough that you can just look at what tools spawned and then decide your strategy after the fact instead of ever having to be at the mercy of the RNG giving you a good enough weapon or armor or shield or the right pips. Training transmutations also makes it far more likely that you'll find a book of transfigurations or the necronomicon which literally lets you just cast the pips you need.

So if you want to go fast pick DD, and if you want winrate or to win a challenge race like Op or Fe or literally anything that can actually use Transmutations and punching, just pick Tm. There is no reason to pick anything else. Even if you want to be a spriggan stabber you'll probably be better off casting free EV and Dex and Venom brand than trying all that stupid sleep magic shit.

after about 14 splats, I figured out that the answer was:

>go find okawaru
>use heroism during every single fight with anything that isn't popcorn for extra SH and Hitrate to make up for your terrible unforgivable aptitudes and train invo so you can finesse when stuff gets scary 10% should be okay
>get lucky and skin some trolls or dragons or get god gifts so you can start focusing on armor too

and that's about it. Just let Oka carry you to your 3 rune win and basically just accept that trolls weren't meant for greater things unless you're willing to hoover up all the XP in the dungeon.

It's kind of OK, now - the cure is still buggy and always a pain in the ass, but it's actually possible to kind of avoid getting infected if you know what you're doing.

If you're a melee character you're generally fucked, though. Have fun gathering asphalt and some fucking honey or something.

It's just weird that the tendency is to 1) create a monster species, 2) create a player race based on a monster species, 3) find that having both a player and monster species feels bloaty, so remove regular versions of the monster species, and 4) eventually remove the last few unique monsters of the monster species.

Believe me you don't. Play OpTm and use form changes.

The reason DD and Mi are the best Fighters is because aptitudes and defenses. Octopodes have no defenses. We're talking literally dead in one turn, one attack.
>>
>>176128104
I tend to pick that gold guy because you really need decent rings for everything to kick off and you summon jew shops from him.
Transmuters are best because octopode has no armor that melds inside you so youre basically Hydra/Drake/whatever with 8 ring bonuses.

Constriction works with Long Sword counterattack.

Early game is suicidal, pray for decent stuff like an early regen amulet. Levels 6-10 are sink or swim for you.

The easiest and safest way is OpFi of Dithmenos
The starter shield blocks most early game shit and makes the early levels a breeze
Start with the rapier, immediately begin training stealth until it's at ~7-8, then train shortblades until ~10, trade the rapier for a dagger/shortsword, start enchanting whatever branded shortblade you find on early monsters, draining and venom will take you far, elec is best but kinda rare
Dithmenos kinda makes it trivial, but later when you find Statue Form/your choice of spells I prefer switching to something like Mak

Overall maledicts are incredibly broken. I could heal up for 700 HP for free, had a spell that would give me mana when I ran out, free destruction, speed and slaying just by wearing permacursed items, not to mention the death ray spell that killed gandalf.

The healing spell does scale with the number of cursed items and removes the curse, which just makes permacursed items really really strong, though.

>>176129710
With Dith you can stealth through most things and the enemy accuracy penalty + shadow double helps a lot when meleeing dudes
Just don't let yourself get surrounded of course
You can also start pumping points into UC when you find Statue Form if you wish, as a shorblade doesn't do much damage outside of stealth assuming no elec against late game shit
I'd switch to Mak as soon as you get it castable, just be careful of tzitzimitls that are summoned to you when under penance, but SF kinda trivializes them
Remember to stack on throwing nets and sacks of spider for easy stabs, works on even extended bosses
The good thing about this strategy is that you are soon left with points to spend on whatever you want, shortblades only take about 10-12 and Op has high stealth aptitude so it's fast to raise too
Remember to raise some dodging/fighting/shield too
Don't be stingy about Shadow Form though it does cost a lot of piety but the invisibility effect kinda trivializes most of the game before finding that trove of randart rings

>>176130987
on the exact turn you move beside literally any enemy it has a chance of waking up, compound this with the fact that every enemy in LOS has the same chance and that the game likes to pile unfair odds on you as an inevitability rather than a possibility

no matter how stealthy you are that centaur still has a chance of waking up the exact moment that you walk into LOS

so rather than just say "I'll be so good at stealth that nothing ever sees me lol safe" what you do is have layers of AC, EV, SH, and Stealth, so that when you inevitable critically fail your stealth roll, or your 40 ev dodge roll, or your 40 str dex blade hands roll 1 damage that gets negated, or your AC spontaneously reduces 0 damage, or your 50 SH Towershield just happens to completely fail, you'll have another roll there, or two, or three, to give you a safety net so that you don't get completely assguttered.

The thing with Op of course, is that almost anything can assgutter your incredibly squishy, armorless, low Health octobod, and it takes literally one turn of seeing a centaur and then not instantly killing it with your wand or whatever to end up completely fucked.

You should have stayed completely still, waited in place and waited for the gecko to gain on sigmund and stopping his LoF, wait four or five turns until the confusion would die out and bring your new friend upstairs while still blocking his line of fire.

I think what he's saying is:

1) After getting confused, you'd wait a turn or two rather than press a direction key. This would keep you from moving and getting more hurt.
2) Hopefully, the gecko would be in front of Sigmund at that point, since the gecko is already ahead of Sigmund.
3) As a result, you'd be safe from further magic: the confusion spell and magic dart.
4) The scythe would still hurt, but it's unlikely you'd be either still confused or vulnerable to getting OHKO'd by a single scythe swing.

storm winds can stun/slow/blink everything. it's actually just gravity damage that doesn't check gravity resistance. pretty good as long as your enemy isn't in a position where the random blinking will annoy you. unfortunately it can neither stun nor slow unique monsters.
if you're talking about the armageddon "windblast" spell though, it actually uses the GF_TELEKINESIS damage type rather than GF_STORM, which also can't stun uniques
it's probably more reliable against nonunques though.

gravity/storm stuns if monster level < 1d(damage done -10) + 10 but uniques are immune
Telekinesis stuns if monster level < 1d(damage done) + 5 but uniques are immune
water/sound stun if 1d(10*monlevel) < damage done
ice stuns if 1d(monlevel) < 1d(player level) so it's useful even against things that resist cold

>Your small leather shield of endurance is damaged!
Acid damage picks a random inventory slot to attempt to corrode. If there's an item there, it attempts to damage the item and damage to the player is halved (even if it's an uncorrodable artifact).

Effectively this means acid always does half damage unless you have empty equipment slots.

For what it's worth, I loved seeing your posts.

God damn I love those crazy vehicle projects people come up with.
>Mobile reality bubble-sized battlecity when
Personally, I always ended up looking for those spiral stones, but never in my "playthroughs" found any. Nor any mines or strange temples! Kind of sucked, but I might give it a go again now.

Speaking of Cata, am I missing something or is it virtually impossible to craft arrows now?
Wood arrows need like 5 fabrication and 3 archery, but the only way to get 3 archery is by shooting bows... Which you can't do because you have no arrows. The wiki claims you can fire arrow shafts without fletching them but that doesn't seem to be true anymore, since my self-bow just claims it's out of ammo.

>>
>>176142810
No idea. Last I played, archery got nerfed so bad that it was worthless. You probably have to rely on books or take 3 archery on character gen, but crossbows are probably the way to go if you want a reliable ranged option.

this is seriously getting to be a pain in the ass
the tome2 fireball spell apparently has a chance to turn floor tiles into lava

but there's some buggy fuckery going on where all the floor tiles are just displaying as empty space instead of .
so i can't see if i'm about to step into a pool of lava and lose half my hp unless i carefully use the look command to see what each floor tile is before walking onto it

maybe try checking what it's trying to display floor tiles as or something? Though it will probably just show you...exactly what you see, a blank space. But in most *bands you can chance symbols and stuff with shift+one of the number row keys, I can't remember which. Each one is a different utility/options thingy iirc
>>
I have a couple of questions, it might be because of the new versions. But I was always told to max weapon skill first to min-delay then start focusing on other skills. People say to ONLY train weapons, train one thing at a time.

But when I do that, as a GrFi I get one hit by lair. I've survived up to zot when training M&F and fighting skill at the same time 50/50, by lair I actually have good suitability. Why is this? Is this specific to gargs? Or have things changed? Also, should I have the starter shield on throughout lair and early dungeon without skill points into it? Or should I throw it off untill I pump some points into it
>>
>>176143449

>>176144824
Low HP dudes benefit greatly from doing fighting/weapon skill. Also, that tip of "weapon until min delay only" is kind of a shit tip. Most characters who want to bump should actually be doing fighting and weapon skill, rather than going all in. They'll tell you that the HP will be miniscule, but even 5 or 6 free HP prelair is quite a bit and will do a lot to help you survive. As for starter shield, its kind of a hedge case but I only really liked keeping it equipped for ants and VsFi that go unarmed. Otherwise, it'll put too much of a damper on your melee.

I wonder if the calculations are changed/reworked now?

Anyways, looking at how the microreactors in vehicles work now---I have 4 installed in this huge tank-fortress I built---it seems like they gobble up p-cells a little fast?
This made me think of something..

Toady once said about DF that they "don't do balance", which I found kind of interesting and inspiring. I'm hoping that Kevinade the Grenade doesn't get too obsessed about "balance" or whatever either. The more you arbitrarily "balance" a game, the more "arcade" and less realistic it becomes.
Even in classical roguelikes, you have some builds more OP than others, but the fun lies in getting far with a less optimal build.

>This is what MiBes actually believe

>>176145645
Oh, and another reason to do fighting is that, as you raise weapon skill, its often cheaper to get 1-2 levels of fighting instead of 1 of weapon skill. You get more damage per swing and accuracy for your xp with fighting, which is a big deal when half of the early dungeon has 10-15 EV. That accuracy is really important.

They removed most zealot backrounds, because they felt that it essentially removed making the actual choice to follow that god.

Removed because the current devs thought it'd be too complicated.

It's sad -- actually sad -- because the guy who made Wu Jian got a ton of feedback and had it play-tested pretty fully. In contrast, the devs regularly implement changes of their own whim with very little feedback -- certainly not anything wider than their own loop and their two favorite Tavernposters -- and then expect people to just deal with it.

Only two more left to get!
>>
>>176176694
A. The barrel is closer to where you're holding it, so the recoil is more straight back into your palm and arm instead of in a traditional revolver, where it ends up trying to rotate around your wrist, breaking it because you're a limp-wristed faggot who's trying to shoot .44
Basically it's easier to fire.
B. They've been translating it in the C:DDA IRC channel, it's all retarded bullshit.
>>
>>176176878
>A. The barrel is closer to where you're holding it, so the recoil is more straight back into your palm and arm instead of in a traditional revolver, where it ends up trying to rotate around your wrist
that's literally a flaw of the gun
it's objectively an inferior way of dispersing recoil
>>
>>176177038
I disagree
>>
>>176177120
that's because you're very stupid
the more complex the motion the more the energy is divided in several different dimensions
>>
>>176176878
>>176177038
Huh. I see.

If you have a (pretty) vanilla save, is there some way to export this save (or a vehicle from it) into a new world with more mods enabled?
>>
>>176177273
>>176177283
The increase in energy going straight back into your arm is negligible, that's not the dangerous or uncomfortable part of recoil, and this way you get less muzzle climb, letting you put tighter groups downrange quicker.
>>
>>176177438
so now you're changing the goalpost and now recoil doesn't matter
very, very, stupid.
>>
>>176177617
No, muzzle flip/climb is a part of recoil, and having a lower bore sight results in less muzzle flip, which is all that matters unless you're a whiny baby. Are you a whiny baby, anon?
>>
>>176177813
nah that's not what you said. you said that the rotation will break your wrist, and now you're going back on what you said, because i made you realize how dumb you are.
>>
>>176177934
I never went back on that at all, you're just twisting the narrative to win a pointless anonymous internet argument when we could have been jerking off to the Mateba instead.
>>
>>176178071
you literally went back on it and you lack the balls to admit you made a mistake. you only brought up muzzle flip as a way of pretending that you were talking about it all along, when what you actually said was
>A. The barrel is closer to where you're holding it, so the recoil is more straight back into your palm and arm instead of in a traditional revolver, where it ends up trying to rotate around your wrist, breaking it because you're a limp-wristed faggot who's trying to shoot .44

you were talking about recoil specifically in the context of the amount of damage it does to your hand, not the muzzle clinb. how dumb are you seriously that you're unable to separate these two different things? i specifically pointed out that the gun is inferior in that one specific regard, do you have any ability to analyze the various components of something with any sort of finesse or do you just naturally lump everything together? you're trying to play some nasty semantics game when everyone knows what you meant
>>
>>176177273
>the more complex the motion the more the energy is divided in several different dimensions
Not the other guy, but nigga you been smoking the ashes of your dead mother.

With the action situated above the cylinder, the gun's center of mass is located further from the action than if the cylinder is situated atop of it.
Given this, a force exerted in a direction on the gun from the point of the action will cause less rotation if further from the center of mass, than if closer to it.

>>176178754
play brogue and remember how frustrating it is
>>
>>176179049
yes that's the point, the more rotation the better the energy spreads and causes less damage to your hand. if com and cof are aligned then there's no rotation at all, the gun itself becomes like a bullet and shoots backwards into your palm if you can imagine what i mean
>>
>>176178802
Not that guy but we can agree that recoil focused along the arm only reduces muzzle climb and results in improved accuracy right

Ok the actual argument at hand is whether or not the extra degree of freedom added by the torquing of the gun reduces damage to the limp elven wrist. Compression is much much less damaging to your connective tissue than applying a torque, so even though the recoil energy is dispersed along both torque and compression instead of focused solely on compression, the torque would do more damage to your limp elven wrists.

Also having children (within your means) is moral

Also roguelikes
>>
>>176179460
>your foo steps on the gas trap!
>your foo sets everything on fire!
>>
>>176179732
The rotation is more damaging than it going straight back into your hand. It's not how much force you have, it's how it's applied.
>>
>>176179732
Oh damn, yeah you're right. The mass of the weapon would absorb more of the kinetic energy than if it were just linear.
Wouldn't this be a trivial difference with a handgun, though? Isn't accuracy more important?
>>
>>176179791
>Compression is much much less damaging to your connective tissue than applying a torque, so even though the recoil energy is dispersed along both torque and compression instead of focused solely on compression, the torque would do more damage to your limp elven wrists.
you know what that may be true


>Also having children (within your means) is moral
it's negligent though because people who have kids aren't doing so with forethought and purposeful intent. people have a moral obligation to not mindlessly act, if you're doing stuff without thinking that is actually immoral, it's like a truck driver that doesn't look at the road when he drives, even if he doesn't hit anyone, the fact that he doesn't give a fuck about human lives is in and of itself an immoral intention.

>>176155129
the big play is hide inside Wall of Stone and use summons, open up a section of wall (or a door, if it's Create Doors) to throw rocket/hellfire/manastorm\ at controlled isolated targets when you need to

also grey mage is better than sorcerer because they still get almost all the realms but they get mage rather than sorcerer liferating, which is significantly better. Even with max con, +liferating items, and good internals, there are a lot of things that can just kill you. There are sorc wins on the ladder, including a sexy (perma-aggravate) one, it's certainly still winnable. There's a high Life spell that lets you take damage to your mana that helps stretch them a bit. But seriously if you want to play mostly sorceresquely, just do grey mage.

Or, you know, a melee class. Rogue of sorcery realm is a lot of fun and you still have a lot of the "I have knowledge and control of all situations" gameplay that sorcerers go for, with great detection and dimension door, plus you can actually get damage out of weapons.

how about a roguelike where you fight enemies through argumentation
defend against arguments by pointing out their false premises or fallacies, win an argument by getting your opponent to admit defeat; some enemies won't submit, so you have to either agree with them and take a hit to your ego, or defend against all of their assertions until you can escape!

>>176188490
Stop playing race/backrounds that can sucessfully tab, and opt for more techy gameplay. Alternatively, set your autostop to like 70. That'll be super annoying though. Use your buffs more aggressively, run away earlier, and ESPECIALLY use shittier items to trade for exp early. Examples are lignify/berserk/fear. Use it to eat stupid shit like hydras/uniques early, because they fall off so badly in mid/late. Aggressive tabbing has its place, but only when you commit.

Its called Zephyr now, apparently. Its still a +8 longbow {speed, SInv, Dex+3} though.

>>176196224
their melee seems to oscillate wildly between instant kill or 80% of lifebar and barely doing any real damage, but that is almost entirely because they can only use small and very light weapons that do poorly against heavily armored uniques. I imagine with *sharpness* a tonberry ninja's damage will skyrocket

I can kill say, a stone giant in 3-5 sneak attacks.

when will you fags stop playing and talking about dcss? isn't enough enough? i thought the devs just keep ruining it, so why do you persist in playing it?

Explain. Does Granade teleport behind you with a diamond katana whenever you write a blacklist mod with rivet's items in it?

>>176197494
Every version of DCSS has been as good as the last one since 0.15, which was a marked improvement on 0.14. No increase or decrease in quality whatsoever.

>tonberry ninja

Did you know that the cloning pits quest reward for ninjas is this thing?
Really works wonders with tonberries. 550 damage on average, which is then multiplied for stabs.

Let me check how much damage it does to sleeping uniques in arena.
>>
It's pretty decent.
>>
>"you critically injure it!" for 1800 damage
Hmm. Works fine on awake monsters also.

Too bad you can't use rune swords on them. Also they don't really heal so better go demigod not to have your charges drained.

I did play a hermes demigod ninja last month, they get something like +20 speed at level 50.

Wait, nope, they *can* use runeswords to stab.
That's good.
Sucks about the whole aggravation thing. Maybe you could just play a shadow fairy ninja.

what is going on with all the reverts in the dcss changelog? is the dev war finally on?
>>
>>176213793
Regarding the Whirlwind thing, that was just a mistake on Lasty's (Corin's) part -- he preemptively reverted the change thinking he misread something, but he was right to change it.

Regarding the altar color cycle, it ended up being that it didn't cover the right things. He made it so the colors cycled on turns, rather than on keypresses (colors currently change on keypresses now, but they don't cycle, making it hard to gauge who an altar belongs to in console play at a glance), so he felt it was appropriate to revert and go back to the drawing board.

if you keep exposing yourself you will die to bad luck to some highroll dam and a lowroll resist, your calculations don't account for those mechanics
>>
>>176218125
What the hell is randomized resist, is poschengband gay enough to not only make resists beyond 75% largely impossible but also I roll a chance to resist something or nothing while monster poop out flat damage?
>>
>>176218285
yup
you need more hp
>>
>>176218354
Doesnt that means thats any character who has at least one less speed than enemy has a chance to die? I mean 900x2 without resists, nobody has that much HP, not even hades berserkers.
>>
This is wrong.
>>
>>176218613
>Doesnt that means thats any character who has at least one less speed than enemy has a chance to die?
Yep. There's a nonzero chance that will happen, like deathraying a unique.

>>176218613
>>176219420
>I mean 900x2 without resists
Where are you pooping out those numbers
with resistances nobody is even going to hit you for 900 damage, it's a lot more complicated than that, you're trying to oversimplyfy a game with spaghetti code that has spanned over decades.

The thing is that if you have 300 HP by the midgame you're literally a dead man walking
if you have 500 HP by endgame you're already dead because anything at that point breathes or spams spell for about 450/500

also let us not forget that there are the very friendly "breathe plasma/mana/time" hounds which cannot be resisted (except for plasma, partially) and those are just hounds
Hope you like Logrus/Mana storms/psycho spears (oh boy that one will kill you instantly with low hp and there would be nothing you could do about it)

DON'T PLAY SORCERERS
