This guy was rather disappointing ... I kept looking at Sexy Mara doing 1800hp/round and wondering why I was so weak, lucky and all. Plus, Poison, Confusion, Sound, Shards and Chaos all proved to be problematic resistances, even until the final moments of the game. An amulet of resistance for the win?? Pshaw! The Jewel took forever, and I was using Sacred Knights as a proxy.

Final battle had my third GCV of the game, so I just had to explore it. Uriel was inside, displacing my BDSM and finally *** out my Int. Also inside was an interesting suit of Spectral Dragon Scale Mail ... I won't spoil, but if you haven't found one yet, then you aren't playing enough :)

I guess 560 damage/round is enough to win with ... I could have even done it with just !healing, although I did use one *healing* during the battle due to laziness. Heck, I even offed Morgy, where Slayer really shines (1 healing and 1 *healing* !!!)

Huh. Is the Spectral Dragon Scale mail a non-artifact? If so, I'll need to tweak my autopickup file, because I have it set to destroy all dragon scale mail other than Power and Balance once I hit clvl 33.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the damage output. I keep wondering why my warriors' damage are so low, given there +2 extra blows over Rogue and their intrinsic +10 damage at level 50. And the one time I hit high damage numbers on a warrior, it's with the Death Scythe that skewered my character :/

Warrior's are hard for me ... Other than Spectres and Androids, that is :) Lack of passwall or double resistance makes the game hard for me ... And monks generally do a lot more damage than warriors (unless you are playing Entroband, and even then, its not so sure a margin). Samurai do more damage as well ... a lot more damage. Plus, there is no detection, and unless you make appropriate racial/personality choices, you won't even be able to use a staff of healing!

But Spectre warriors are fun, if a bit cheesy ...

I would say I need at least one of the following abilities in order to win (ranked in order of usefulness):
[1] Passwall
[2] Double Resistance
[3] Healing

That's why Life/Craft priests seem so easy for me :)

I think you value passwall a lot more than I do.. in general, I value Wall of Stone more than Passwall, because Wall of Stone allows you to shape the dungeon for 1v1 fights. So Nature access is a huge plus for me (since it effectively provides both 2 and 3, as well as the Wall of Stone alternative to 1).

Hm, unrelated comment... have you ever tried to use Iron Ball, the 25d4 weapon? It has a -6 penalty to INT, WIS, and Speed, but that's some amazing damage dice (62.5 expected damage!). With Mana Branding or Lightning Eagle, it could be monster. That might be a much more viable alternative to the Death Scythe, although unfortunately I don't think you can Mundane it and re-artifact it for real fun. Earthquakes might be annoying though. Hm, actually, it might be the perfect Bard weapon...

I think monster summoning is what makes the game really hard. With passwall, you can mostly control that, excepting the few disintegration breathers. Also, it allows me to play mostly without consuming precious resources, which I stockpile for the end. Healing? No, just back off and rest (requires regeneration).

I like Wall of Stone, too. Its just that for rangers and monks, it is really hard to cast. I like the Spectre Nature High Mage combo, though it is tedious to garner enough melee power to beat the Serpent. Passwall and 0% wall of stone? Nice. Once you hit CL35, you can do the Cloning Pits by just walling up all the monsters! The Spawning Pits is likewise easy, though it takes a while to wall up the entire quest ...

I think somebody might have tried the Iron Ball out as a samurai ... I can't remember exactly who it was. I never have. Don't forget, the ball is really heavy, and encumbrance will be a huge issue. You might not have any spell points left over :) (Though, samurai can wear heavier stuff before the encumbrance kicks in, so yes, I think a 5x lightning eagle on a 25d4 heavy weapon that scores easy criticals might be worth a try ...)

[dlev 99] Oberon down. Getting ready for the Serpent now. Taken out some other nasties like Shuma-gorath and Chtulhu. Found that 'Iron Ball' thing, which could be a pretty awesome weapon with lightning eagle. But its weight only gives me 4 blows AND it can't be dual wielded (too heavy -> *large* to-hit penalty), so even though LE would still give me ~1300ish damage it's not an option. I had some fun testing it in the Dragon Caves, tho :).

Nice calculation: 4 LE hits from it vs. a non elec resistant monster, if all hits would be *SUPERB*, would chop off a whopping 4500ish damage. Eat that ;D."

Actually, I don't think Samurai get encumbered at all ... This probably means I am overdue for playing one! But my High Mage certainly had trouble with a 35lb Death Scythe, and isn't the ball 66.6lbs? Probably, that does mean 0sp for any mage ... Also, if you cast mana branding then swap weapons, your brand will disappear!
