Troll rogue is best rogue. It takes a bit longer to get stealth up, but on the plus side you get to melee unlike kobolds and hobbits.

I like rogue trolls, treating them like poor warriors with detection. I had more fun with initial Str and Dex starting at 16, but it is playable with 15 in everything besides WIS.

Half-Troll Paladin: https://angband.live/ladder/ladder-show.php?id=25828

Well .. it's a paladin. Not the most exciting class to play - bonk stuff, cast Heal.
Nothing really worth of note in this game; found a nice artifact light with +4 DEX early that is super-useful to pump the damage on trolls, and then found an Arkenstone that had no stat bonuses so it just sat in my house for the whole game.
Rings of Power were a bit lame. No +blows or +shots. ESP on helm only, pretty much. Found a Dragon Armor but couldn't really use it because i would have had to lose rDisen and/or rNether with Osse and Vecna (and the Tarrasque) still around.

Oh yeah, i got WoG dropped by a ranger on DL33 !! but i couldn't use it because a troll paladin't mana pool is shockingly bad. My first potion of WIS was on DL98 !!!, i was so desperate for +WIS that i un-ignored potions of Contemplation.

I dread the idea of having to play a Rogue Troll next ..

Half-Troll Ranger: https://angband.live/ladder/ladder-show.php?id=25825

This is a weird combination. I have no problem with HT Mage (free Regen basically replaces the low SP pool, you can just run away on empty and will have enough SP for a TS before you get surrounded by orcs), but for some reason HT Ranger didn't work quite as well.
Early game lucked out with a Ring of INT +5 and another +4, allowing for some decent mana pool; i pretty much play early Ranger as i would a Mage with just MM. No Escaping because i already have a pitiful fail rate, and i got enough HP to tank early mobs.
I got to DL97 with just a longbow of power +19, and didnt even have +2 shots. Found the *only* bow in my artifact set, but fortunately 5x, +16 and Cold brand. Despite the Troll bonus, only CON 18/160 until very late - it was either this and 2 immunities, or 18/*** and no rCold and no rPois.

.. overall i think the biggest problem that 4.1.3 has is the early ESP with Ego weapons. I regularly have this before DL40 while it should strictly be DL70+, obviously you can luck out with a randart or OOD drop, but the abundance of *Slay Stuff* weapons around DL40 make it trivial to find ESP before you have to deal with any AMHDs.

Oh yeah; Stealth: Poor isn't great to play with. But it's not really devastating, either.

FYI the function to upload a file from my PC doesnt seem to work - it keeps asking for the URL.

I sold two artifacts found in the same room and they wound up having the exact same sell value.

easy because Mage.

Light early on with a whopping +5 INT, then Arkenstone +4 STR, only started using it later on when INT was maxed, but still good. Dragon Armor that activates for Clairvoyance / *Enlightment* (remember when the Palantir of Othranc still existed?) and Keleks on my first DL98 vault.

Well, i had a Troll Mage that was doing great, plenty of SP, elvenkind resistance, SI, FA, 18/120 INT, and then a single teleport-self put me in the middle of a group of OOD time hounds.

Pete Mack · February 1, 2024, 15:16

I find Warrior just infuriating to play. With other classes .. essentially, classes that have Teleport Self .. if i die, it's pretty much always my mistake. Ofc there's till the slipped finger or the command queue stacking, but with warriors there's just situations where you can't do anything but die. And i also hate walking away from potential good items, but i have no real Detect and those few consumables are too precious to use freely early on, ?Tele, even CCWs.

Then you are not buying and using enough _tele. For the early- and mid-game, warrior needs it more than any other class, especially for a challenge race like human or (half)elf. It's probably the most important purchase if you dont find one first.
additionally
* Playing a human warrior without SI and/or FA, I would definitely carry a staff of detect evil as well, especially past DL 24. A Ghast can easily kill you if you coming around a corner, or after a failed Teleport. You can get both staffs recharged in the magic shop, so number of uses isn't an issue. (It's wise to carry anyway.)
* if you don't find (or buy!) a different source of FA, keep "inertia as a swap. Nevertheless, the death to an illusionist is bad luck, though it's wise to kill them first.
* Ring of SI is usually a swap. Consider an amulet of infravision instead of regen. (Even with SI and FA I'd likely pick it anyway.)

I am curious how a homunculous killed you. They do so little damage you usually have a chance to wake up.

Human Warrior: https://angband.live/ladder/ladder-show.php?id=25812

I find Warrior just infuriating to play. With other classes .. essentially, classes that have Teleport Self .. if i die, it's pretty much always my mistake. Ofc there's till the slipped finger or the command queue stacking, but with warriors there's just situations where you can't do anything but die. And i also hate walking away from potential good items, but i have no real Detect and those few consumables are too precious to use freely early on, ?Tele, even CCWs.

I think i had 4 dead before this winner; i ... didn't exactly "follow a new strategy", but rather just played differently than i always do. Specifically i knew that i couldn't really go below DL35 until i had either ESP or a Rod of Detection, so i killed all the early uniques in hopes of finding something good (in the end it was a Ego with ESP on it). I also used my Deep Diving early on, they only took me to DL80.

I had a lot of luck finding a ring of power veeeery early on (the one in my inventory) which was good, but not *excessively* overpowered. Also finding an Arkenstone is so, so much easier, while this one didn't have massive stat bonuses, it's just the activation that is so helpful. Obviously if you play with Standarts you woulnd't know because you almost always find it, but in Randart sets they are often missing .. maybe 1 in 5 sets?

(irrelevant, but at some point a mob on DL40ish dropped THREE potions of INT at the same time. never happens when i play mage ...)

whelp, lost another.
Got rushed by a massive number of hounds; managed to kill them, but before i could do much of anything i see Neekebreakers starting to flood the room. I used one of my two scrolls of Teleportation.
Pop next to a small vault. Ulftang and a necromancer are on me. I have the choice of using my last ?Teleport and with my luck, wind up again in the same room as before, or ?Phase and try to scoff down my CSW/CCW - no !Healing. Ofc the phase puts me right back to melee range of Ulftang who killed me.

I looked through the artifact spoiler and i had 3x offhand brands (weak lightning, cold and acid), a Dragon Armor with +1 attacks, a cloak with +2 attacks, and at least 4x 5d8 Slay Evil weapons.

I wonder if Heroism actually improves my to-hit. I know it does with melee weapons, i also assumed it does with ranged as well.

I believe that all the bonus to-hit spells help both melee and ranged except for berserk, which only helps melee.

When you *start* making dumb mistakes it's time to quit for the day.

i lost 3 just yesterday - trying for my Human Warrior. But, no SI means 1 ring slot needs to go to Ring of SI. I got a RoS +6 (again) from an early unique drop, and the other was the SI. Could not find a decent weapon, so 30/35 DPS. Even with speed i could not take on most things, let's say a bunch of black ogres. Got really frustrating, and was at DL28 with no FA because, well, i can't make FA just appear out of thin air, none for sale in either BM or Armorer. Lost 2 to paralysis (one from a homunculus, one from a illusionist casting it on me while Lugash was killing me), and lost another to running out of consumables trying to find what the LF 4-8 was (it was a lousy mithril plate, no bonuses).

I just find Warrior so slow and frustrating because it has practically no resources aside from Staff of Teleportation and whatever !Spd / CLW you have. Carrying stacks of 30 ?Phase at the time, but still need to grind early levels for Spd, a decent weapon, FA, Resistance, See Invisible, all thing you NEED if you are going to melee the enemy.

By the way, it's worth noting that the mage i lost which had a sling of buckland, couldn't hit anything with it. Early to-hit is so low for casters, i would just miss 70/80% of my shots.
