Thats what I get for being careless! Wasn't respecting the enemies at the center of a vault I was raiding and got blindsided by Carcharoth waking up quickly despite my stealth, then somehow misread his speed number and thought I could double move him! Ended up wasting my last turn alive on a useless rod zap rather than simply teleporting out with a scroll.

Honestly, not too upset, because I've been unhappy with how my character felt so reliant on LoS cheese to kill anything. I only get 200 dmg/round with Meteor Swarm, which just feels so underwhelming vs any late game enemy! I also feel like my equipment drops were underwhelming, though the amount of speed I got made up for it. Not really sure how Druids are supposed to play late game, because spamming the same LoS cheese against every enemy really doesn't seem intended. Perhaps bear form or tremor is supposed to be better utilized?

I have always used bear form; casting damage spells basically doesnt work in classical angband because the spell damage is fixed and (almost) independent of equipment; with melee weapons, you are looking at a dozen or more upgrades during a game from better weapon, better off-weapon items, stat gains and whatnot while you only need casting stat, the spellbook and enough char lvls to have maximum possible damage.

So if you make the spell damage comparable to weapon damage, mage gets there easily and thus is op.

This was already the case with mage in frog knows and nothing has changed in this regard since.

I've been thinking a lot about this and I've been thinking that bear form simply has to be what druid plays into(or pukelman I suppose, that 10 damage resistance can be really nice in some fights). Its nice to see that that line of thought was correct. When playing this run it just never seemed like my weapons would do enough to make it worth being in melee when I could just spam Meteor Swarm....

Not entirely sure how I should change my play next time I try druid. I've never really been particularly fussed about raising my stats and typically just choose to keep diving, but my dex was low for a long time which really hurt my ability to get good blow numbers. I also kept my Holy Avenger Dagger around because it got me up to 0% failure rates while not compromising my resists, but surely I could've had a better damage weapon. Not sure! Something to look forward to figuring out.
