My Defender Dagger's a keeper, I think. Due to the stiff weight penalties, duelists are very limited in armor selection, so having a light weapon that gives RBase + RPois + RNether + FA + SI is huge.

Unfortunately, Hagen disenchanted the Dagger by +1, and I quickly abandoned the quest after that. Ditto with his dad, who also disenchants. Their various drops probably aren't going to be as valuable to me as my Dagger!

I'm all the way in the positives in AC now! 18, thanks to the Elven Cloak of Protection, courtesy of the Orc Camp, and the =oProtection. Of couse, that's still pretty terrible for when there are packs of Nibelung. Damn guys musta stolen 30k off me already ;-)

It's so nice to be able to kill undead again!

Wow. Upgrading to 0.14 made it a lot harder. I had to give up farming the Killing Fields at clvl 28. I did find a rod of Healing randomly in Angband, which is always nice, and Kharis dropped the Soulsword, a nice swap weapon for if I ever find Hithlomir or a Soft Leather Armor of Resistance.

Amazingly short on cash at the moment.

I killed the Warriors of Dawn outside, but I had no detection, so I was having lots of trouble pulling the inside Warriors one at a time. Having 20% lower HP didn't help, but I think it was mostly the lack of detection.

Hm. I'm finding myself abusing Disengage. I'll mark a target just to Disengage, to teleport. Also, sometimes my marked Foe will be kinda far away (because he teleported or I teleported), and I'll still be able to Disengage. When I was fighting Lord Borel, I teleported because I was low on HP, and saw a group of Earth Hounds. So I Disengaged... right next to Lord Borel! Very nearly killed me.

Not sure what the right solution is, but finding this kind of strange.

Jack of Shadows for my dlvl 34 quest? No thanks...

Good thing I didn't have Unavoidable quests set!

The easy change is to block Disengage unless you have line of sight on your foe. You can still spam it, picking a target (costs a turn) in order to teleport, but I don't think a 2 turn teleport is broken. I'm just waiting to spam phase charge, btw :)

Yeah, Jack is just messed up. His native depth of 42 is just wrong ... probably 70 is more like it. But if you move him deeper, his darkness storms become more deadly!

Wow, fighting Kokuo was insane. He's at +20 speed, 3000 HP, and dlvl 40. At my current level (29) and DEX (18/40), that's 58+22=70 DC for save, or 30% chance of stunning, slowing or wounding him. Good thing I had something like 40 !oCCW, and I was just barely able to kill him (4 !oCCW left). Yeah, I think 38 is as far as I'll go for a little while. Maybe I need to start looking for Quartz Veins or Magma Intrusions again?

Er? How were you planning to spam Phase Charge?

Ouch ... those orcs must have been in league with Stormy, diverting your attention at the crucial moment.

So, Dex is supposed to be the guiding stat for saves ... I'll make that change for 0.0.16. I was using Int. Do you still want spell failures? Key stats now are:
Str: Damage (which is effectively doubled) and encumbrance.
Int: AC boost.
Dex: Abilities work better (vs. monster saves)
Con: Obvious

If we do failures, guiding by Dex like the ninja seems to make sense. Dex is also more important for AC these days as well.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get back into *banding soonish... and I'm looking forward to trying this variant. I've always had a soft spot for Heng/Entro for its huge array of races, corruptions, and dual-wielding-done-right(TM), and I'd like to take a serious attempt at a "real" game in the near future...

I know! I mean, I kill a few orc, and a broken sword is dropped. Nothing unusual there, right?

Keying off DEX for special attack abilities sounds good (that's the assumption I was going off, so that's why I was boosting DEX!) The DEX effects on AC don't really kick in until you're at about 18/150 or so, so I was also thinking making the bonus damage be (DEX + clvl/2 - 10). So each point of DEX is worth 1 +todam (2 with Careful Aim). That way, DEX is the monster important stat for the Duelist.

I know I keep waffling, but now I'm feeling that 0% Fails is fine. The Duelist has enough trouble in the mid 20's and 30's already with their low HP and low damage outputs.

Welcome and good luck! There's a lot of new options, but it's also gotten significantly tougher. I haven't had a character that cleared clvl 35 yet, out of 4 or so serious attempts.

Yeah ... I here you. I'm questing for Jaian when I get the message "Booieeeeee". Bam! 180hp of sound damage. One moment of carelessness, and it is all over ... Also, with the low AC a non-foe monster can easily swoop in and kill you. I'm thinking of monsters like Bloodthirsters and what not, though I guess you might get your AC up decently by the time you start meeting them. Stormbringer probably had an easier time vs. AC44 then he would have vs AC144.

I'll give that Dex change a whirl. It will increase the mid game damage output.

You guys should do more testing with late game chars DL80+. Especially summoners and 5k+ hp adversaries.

Like Sky drakes+, drujs/greater quyl, archlich/reaver hordes, cyber/star spawn and nodens,oberon,unicorn. Also vaults with open areas (not those wall-mob-wall types).

I'm quite curious how your revenge stuff works with hardcore mobs.

Ps. Runeknight abilites seem quite cherrypicked but that depends how hard SP management is and Daves 80d30 damage/teleport to mobs are the worst idea you guys have come up with yet.

Yeah, the King in Yellow was a nightmare to kill for my duelist (Avenger), because of the Reaver and Iron Lich summons. I finally managed, but it was close... I used all 3 !oHealing I had with me, and all but my last 6 !oCCW.

Er. If by "mobs" you mean the single Unique native to 4950' that moves erratically, then yes.

80d30 is 1600 damage, but that gets reduced by 60% from armor, so it's actually 640 damage. It's not that much worse than a Mana Storm, and the Master Tonberry has to melee you to do it. He can teleport-to, but you can blink. It's not meant to be easy for Warriors, but should be OK for mage-types. If 80d30 is really too much, 70d30 should be fine (560 damage on average with high AC).

Compare with the Metal Babble, which is absolutely impossible for mage-types. Or compare with the One Ring, whose mana storms do 545 damage at a distance, and does not waste turns moving erratically (or moving at all).
