Risk assessment skills...
So I found a crazy vault full of some scary monsters and uniques that were way more powerful than my character. A few months ago I would have most likely just left it alone...however now? I just had to see if I could raid the sucker. Lucky for me it was mostly constructed of permanent walls. So even monsters that could bore through rock couldn't harm me unless I either moved so that they could go through the few patches of normal rock or I tunneled in through said rock. Hell I even opened up a passage with three time hounds...and I teleported them away before they breathed time. I did get jammed up with a vampire lord and a master vampire with 4 black reavers nearby...but again the permanent rock and a *destruction scroll* saved the day. I got four artifacts out of the deal...all of them useful. Thorin,Isildur, Carlammas and the star of Elendil( well I guess three good artifacts). I've also been diving with little fear the whole game, now part of this is because I'm playing a warrior...you can't play a mage like that in my admittedly limited experience. I guess what I'm asking is have the rest of you found that you are more willing to take risks the longer you have played the game? Or is it just me?
And here is my character who gained almost 300 hps from the artifacts in that vault. Any suggestions for what I should be using would be welcome. I think I have a good kit going but who knows? Code:

Also, Eorlingas is heavy, so you are restricted to 5 blows with it. I think Orome would be better. That +4 to speed will help also. As long as you are not hasted it gives you ~27% damage increase alone: energy 15 - 19. With haste it is a bit less (16%), but moving nearly at speed +10 is much better than moving at +5. |

Orome normal vs Eorlingas slay evil 1.27 * 6/5 * 55.1 vs 86 = 83.9 vs 86 With acid+fire brands it is clear winner against most, and those that are not vulnerable to either and are evil are very rare (beholders, AMHD, GWoMC, some uniques). There is one caveat in swapping Caspanion and Isildur: you lose rNexus. Avoid Nexus Hounds and Vortices, Greater Basilisks and Dracolisks like plague after that. With Warrior saving throw stat-scrambling is a real danger. Luckily nexus breathers are relatively rare (nexus vortices are maybe most difficult to avoid). |
