First time playing 3.3.2, and first serious mage attempt in about 10 years...a lot's changed! I really appreciate how the game is now balanced so that mage-spell combat is now possible, since the mana costs have dropped so much.
I'm having trouble now deciding what depth I should be at. It's been a fairly gear-challenged game, though Belangil, Celegorm and Arvedui check off a lot of the key resists, etc.
What I don't have are hp or (permanent) speed; I'm stomping around DL 45 or so and seem able to manage most non-uniques, but my <200hp worry me -- I think a drolem, mana bolt, Death Drake and probably more could instakill me. I'm being careful, and pretty much going around hasted since I've got mana to burn.
So...should I plug away and pray for some more Con at this depth, am I too deep, or should I dive further to try to get rings of speed, etc? Any advice appreciated!
