You put code tags around it (the # above the text box), or you wait for some kind person to do it for you

I would just make my way down steadily, hoping to find ESP before the Phoenix gets you. My current priest found both ESP and first -TO below 90 - very unlucky, but otoh very lucky to have made it that far without either.

Rods or wands of light for safe resting recommended.

I dont normally carry book 4 that early - the useful spells have high failrate with low wisdom.

As for improving, I think you know what you need, it will trickle in steadily from small kills, floor items or minor vaults you manage to loot. I dont know if you have found any yet, but my favourite mid game rings for priests are =mouse which eventually get replaced with poison resist or speed or artifact.

The killing method is orb, not melee, at this stage. Melee comes many dex potions later later when you get multiple blows and dont need the weapon slot for anything important like ESP or /200 wis. Crossbow is great, too.
I have macros F1: targets next monster and casts orb, F2: casts orb on current target. And of course, a bless macro (F9 for me) to activate before shooting bolts.

The greatest risk, if youre doing everything right, are always non-evil awake dangerous monsters like the Phoenix. You have a rod of detection in your home; I would carry that, to use before doing anything involved like cracking open a vault.

**Sky** · May 10, 2018, 12:45

the rod of detection is at home because the recharge rate is horrid and i'm using ... oh, i see what you mean. stuff like the phoenix wouldn't show up with Detect Evil ... right.

**Pete Mack** · May 10, 2018, 12:51

@sky--
Full detection is a huge deal. If the Phoenix doesn't get you, a drolem will. Or even gravity/plasma hounds. It certainly is important before opening a vault.

**Sky** · May 10, 2018, 18:03

got better, found two (now 3) rods of TO, and Priest5, plus i managed to buy Priest6 off of the BM. I'm killing junior uniques, like The Balrog Of Moria, and Eol, but other stuff is out of my league for now.

As it seems now, i'm looking at a max of 300~350 DPS with melee. Can't wait for some boots of speed.

Are you using much melee? If so, switch to the highest damage weapon you have. That main gauche is pretty poor. That other shield looks tasty, though I suppose you can't afford the stat hit yet.
What is your fail rate on the big 2 priest spells (Heal300, TO), both with and without icky wield?

**Estie** · May 10, 2018, 19:58

The main gauche is actually the top damage dealer for the moment; you can add at least 5/25 or 1/5 to the displayed number for that +5 speed. With +10 speed boots that would change. That being said, the difference in damage is far too small to justify icky; I´d use the trident.

Edit: - and enchant it along the way.

**Sky** · May 11, 2018, 19:13

ok, i'm ready for the final two.

Question: how do i fight morgoth?
at most i can do 300 DPS @ 30 +10 Spd.

**Derakon** · May 11, 2018, 20:23

You're a priest, you can outlast anything. Hell, you can kill Morgoth with Orb; I'd wager it's pretty competitive with your melee damage output especially when you consider you won't need to spend turns healing so often. Just bring plenty of Restore Mana potions and a good stack of Cure Critical Wounds in case you get tagged with stun or confuse or other ailments.

**Philip** · May 11, 2018, 20:40

Orb-killing is a perfectly viable strategy, yeah. You can also carry in some devices, which won't be as effective as they would be for a mage, but I expect Annihilation will probably be worthwhile at least. Not being in melee range of Morgoth also allows you to carry Staff of the Magi (those still exist, right?), which restores mana and can be recharged (this probably theoretically lets mages kill Morgoth without using any consumables outside of maybe a staff or two that explodes, if you're careful).

**Pete Mack** · May 11, 2018, 21:15

Staff of magi is ridiculously rare. You're likely to find no more than one in a game.

**Sky** · May 12, 2018, 22:56

staff of magi isn't anywhere near as rare as, say, ammo of holy might.

anyway, i killed sauron, but i fought morgoth and had to bail out. the reason being, i only have one rod of speed and no potions, so i could not keep my speed over 30. i do carry rods of slow monster, but that's not enough.

i'm now grinding DL99 for another rod or two, maybe some potions. shouldn't be long.

i found a weapon +2 blows of slay evil that gives me .. wait for it .. 345 vs evil.
pathetic.

**Sky** · May 13, 2018, 02:24

this took forever.

i had a ludicrous number of consumables, something like 32 !Heal, 18 *Heal, 9 !Life, 40 CCW, at least 5 MBan, 30 !Mana, and 13 !Speed.

i kept blinking, laying rune, melee. morgoth summoned a ton of stuff, but they never managed to move as fast as me or morgoth. i did have to TO some stuff away, like black reavers, and several dangerous uniques: vecna, glaurung, tarrasque, etc.

thoughs on the priest:

1. i like that you can Orb everything; and that it has a huge area. I did not like that you are pretty much incapable of taking down *some* uniques, like the tarrasque, because they are not evil and they take half the damage.

2. clairvoyance is great. the spell selection is great, but i didn't use about half of my spells EVER. some remained uncast (yellow name) through the run. i'm not sure why we have the same spells twice, too.

3. there's no need ever to use Healing if you can cast Heal with lower fail rate.

4. annihilation and word of power have redonkolous high fail rates.

5. banish evil banished uniques as well which is annoying if you want to strip them of their summons / escort.

6. melee is pitiful, i've never had a mage do so little damage as this priest.

all in all, it's easier to play than the mage, needs almost no consumables, but lacks the specialized attacks which make it easier to take on dangerous mobs. Safe, but not exciting.

Healing is a bigger heal than Heal -- 1000 HP instead of 300. But yeah, if you had to pick one of the two, take Heal.

Banish Evil is a mass teleport-away, it's not like anything else with "banish" in its name. The monsters remain on the level and you can track them down individually if you want to.

As you say, the priest is safe but not particularly exciting. I generally feel like priests have better utility than mages; big heals, Detection, and Clairvoyance are huge. But they have fewer interesting spells.

Their combat is marginally better than mage combat, for what it's worth. It's just not very good.
