Hello all!
Ive played a few hundred runs (no wins yet, 3 Orb runs I've ripped), and am seeking guidance on the following Gnoll Delver of Yred run.
Currently level 17, in Snakes.
I simply got too many spells/items/weapons/armors to know what's good and bad.
I'm generally summoning as soon as I see an enemy, play safe from a summoned meatwall, and tabbing with a flame spear.
Most notably I am using spore mode instead of a shield.
What do the experts here recommend?
