Reading the wiki, it seems that monsters can't target you if you're 3 or more squares away but I just had Harold blast my ass with a wand of light when I was 3 squares away. I was marked though, so I don't know if that changes things.
Crazily OP win. Hit frost shield, foul shadow (umbra) and thin skeletal structure (dex+6 and stealth+++). Ended up with 3-4# stealth, depending on what I equip (not shown in pics since zot reduces stealth). Loot spawn were also very solid, as seed spawned quick blade of draining +2 in hall of blades (although I got mine from scroll of acquirement before I entered the S-branches), but I think an okawaru start would have also been fine at the cost of feeling a lot less in character), equips with great resistances including a legendary amulet of faith (great for dithmenos) with rElec, rF+, rC++ and Will+ and guaranteed +11 slaying in rings in a shop in the depths. Game also spawned that knife that enhances stabbing but I never really needed it.
Also, I posted earlier about Dithmenos feeling weak, but I have since revised my opinion. It is solid in medium sized crowds but cannot get you past floor 20 or so in Ziggurat without scrolls of immolation. So if you wanna zig with a stabber, I recommend Uskayaw for pain bond (have heard or this working in zig).
Here's the game seed in case anyone wants to play it: 17056397968884511046.
I have both a quickblade+9 of freezing and a quickblade +9 of electrocution. They both have a damage rating of 28 after slay+6. Which one does more damage? Supposedly, electrocution adds, on average, 2-5 damage per hit, while freezing adds +7 damage per hit whenever it "pierces defenders armour", whatever that means. Which one one should I use?
Not sure what the visual indicator in stealth means but does it cap after you hit 10+s then 10*s?
I really hate this since it goes so against intuition. Uskayaw should be the god that caters to brawlers that enjoy fighing large crowds, but it just so happens to be the best stabber god since once you proc your paralysis + pain bond its gg regardless of how many mobs there are. On the other hand, dithmenos shadow slip gives like an extra 4 WEAK stabs not STRONG stabs, and then you have to run away or brawl which stabbers arent good at. Maybe I just havent played with dithmenos enough to hit 27 invocations for max shadow hp but at this point there's no reason to play dithmenos over uskayaw when I'm stabbing. They should really reduce the piety cost of shadowslip to 1%. I'm playing demonspawn with the foul shadow mutation by the way, and there's really no point stabbing in large crowds since once I stab one, they all wake up. Does it get better at higher stealth or will I have to switch to uskayaw at some point or invest in dazzling flash/enfeeble?
Has anyone tested this combo out? Does haemoclasm leave pools of blood everywhere which blood heats up subsequently turns into flame?
I'm thinking the fire magic school is the best one since it has long range targetable and high level spells like plasma beam starburst ignition and fire storm. Then once you cast them, you can stab paralyzed monsters closer to you. The only issue with this is most demonspawn wanna start high dex or high str with low int and your spells are bound to have low spell power. Any input on the best way to build this mutation? At this point I just reroll if I get it because it really doesn't fit with demonspawn gameplan.
A bit fuzzy on this and the wiki article seems to say that you need a shield for the SH stat to matter. This applies to SH gained from non shield sources, obviously.
There's no information about this mutation on wiki since its only updated for up to 0.30. Can anyone tell me how much stealth it adds at max rank, what the percent to proc the foul flame it allude to and also what "'monsters will rarely attack you" mean? Also, I want to try a stabber with this build so what God should I go for? I'm deciding between Dithmenos, Gozag, and the god that gives you a tank guardian, but not sure what's best. Lastly, what spells, if any, should I look to get that will still be effective in extended? Thanks!
Supposedly it disappears after taking any fire damage so does even something like 1 fire damage proc it?
Do these stack? Specifically the extension of berserk on kill. Any idea how it happens if they do?
Got polymorphed in one of my runs and I was wondering if I could have avoided death by teleporting away. Thanks.
This is really pissing me off because its so counterintuitive. Do projectiles from enemies just pierce through everything? That includes arrows and darts. Also, when they do pierce, do they only hit allies and yourself but not enemies? Thanks.
