How do you like my warrior?

[kandrc]

Check those rings and that hat!

I'm not actually playing the character with this config; I wouldn't survive long. Just put it on for a dump.

Something is badly wrong here...

That is one of the silliest builds I've ever seen. (Not silly on your part, of course. But silly on the part of the game designers.)

The rings have been kind of ridiculous in dev of late, but even so, I lean more toward this being a perfect storm type of situation, rather than silly design.

If I can ever get my DEX up, and actually start getting additional blows (without +blows eq), I can get 12 blows with a MoD of Extra Attacks, or 10 with MoD Holy Avenger. Easy 1000 melee/round against M. I'm already doing absurdly bad on turns; I may grind for maximally ridiculous damage output this time.

[Pete Mack]

Since you're a priest, it's 9 and 11 blows, but who's counting? The HA weapon would be noticeably better with that many blows: over 1000 vs undead and demons, and around 800-900 vs. evil. That's in the range of a Ranger with Bard and old-style branded arrows.

[Philip]

Even as a perfect storm type thing, this seems excessive. +2 attacks total off of all equipment is pretty big already, more than anyone should really have. +5 attacks is just ridiculous. Not to mention that you have everything important except 0% fail and ESP already on a maximum damage pose.

Very good character name though.

[Pete Mack]

He also has everything covered but regen, ESP, and rNether--and the latter really is optional, given the rarity of strong attacks. And he's only at 59k moves.

This is a pretty good example of why I don't use randarts anymore.

Ha! 1000 vs. undead is a joke.

I could have won this much, much earlier, but I decided to grind for DEX to get max blows. The weapon I used in the earlier dump was already endgame (I found that ego MoDs couldn't touch it), but I picked a nice artifact MoD that was even better. With this final kit, Ancient Dragons were done in one round. Base elemental Wyrms in 2. High Wyrms in 3. Vecna also dead in three rounds, and Ancalgon dead in 4. I Killed S a long time ago when I was "only" dealing normal endgame damage. M took 34 rounds and I used literally no consumables.

LOL (really). On top of all the other silliness, that mace is beyond belief. You should post this entire character in the 'Amazing randarts' thread. Essentially everything you are using belongs there.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't remove the curse from your gauntlets--the holy infusions spell should take it off easily.

Nick--I fear you need to take a serious look at this character....

True, although posting a link to the ladder would probably be preferable, rather than the entire character being reproduced in message posts.
