So...
This is my best caster so far (and first Sif Munite i've played,
Vehumet is done for). Great mutations (and 2 or 3 cure mutations
left!!, i've gotten like 7 in this game), great items, awesome damage
output, and had great EV in the begining, allowing me to train
fighting to a good level early.
The thing is, it is going great, i've got almost every spell at my
disposal, and i've never beaten the game with a caster before, so im
tempted to just leave it as it is, and just end the game at once (no
fear for Zot in my hearth, altrough i should be respectfull). The
other option is obvious: Tackle most optional branches, specially the
Hells and make this the greatest character i've played.
So:
- No resist corrosion, so no slime pits for now? (i have lots of
enchant armor tough, is just that the corrosive damage is awfully
large, aor was last time i tried)
- The crypt was a breeze with the Sword of Jihad to animate with
Tukimas Dance. Should i do Tombs? (and maybe learn apportation =p)?
- Got in the Abyss and it wasnt too rough with my boots of running and
Haste, just lost a couple of scrolls.
- I've got most interesting late game spells in my books: B's
Revivification, Death Doors, great summons (no summon greater Demon
tough), controlled Blink, Etc. Suggestions on what skill to train in
order to be safe? Or go on with fire in order to get rid of wizardry?
- Got lots of food, should i try training fighting some more? I can
get a lot of EV with my EV gear (like 39 without forescry)
- Should i Use the staff of wizardry instead of the ring, and let go
that nice early game bow (that adds rF+ and evasion)?
- Im partially low in resistances, as i cant get two from rF, rN and
rC at max at the same time without sacrificing reliablility in Fire
Storm and deflect missiles. Any strange advice?
