Nice swap weapon. ESP actually means you're less likely to die, though I do understand your point. Advantage like that means down Periscope and Dive! Dive! Dive! (Who needs a Periscope when you've got perfect sonar?)
Once you get magic mapping (and the detect monsters spell) there's not much to stop you before DL 30.

[Estie]

If you are relying on melee damage, those 6 dex on the ring should bring the damage of that mace up to something useable.

Estie, guess how my mage died? Exactly. i read a MBan next to a vault.
Rogue is going strong. I just got my Reveal Monsters spell, which should mean *in theory* that i won't die to a Drolem.

[Pete Mack]

Sky--
Drolem deaths are *really rare* if you have detect monsters. They are fairly rare, and it's likely that you will have at least temporary Poison resistance before you seen your first drolem. One thing you can do is to change preferences and turn them into a magenta 'g' instead of dark green. Hot pink is a lot more noticeable.

[Sky]

Ah, but casting RM is something you do *before* you get ESP.
I think i have a winner here. 800hp and all resists except nether. Nothing obscenely OP yet, like my last mage with 1200 dps vs evil crossbow ...

[Pete Mack]

Sky-
Yeah detect monsters is more critical before you get ESP, but it's pretty darn important after, too. There are certain monsters I just don't want to wake up, and the way to do that is to avoid even getting to ESP range. I also like to know about Nexus and the higher Qs, and of course Drolems.
