      Nice! Very best armor in the game, and exceedingly rare

        PDSM of speed (+5). I found it once.

        One Ring (5), PDSM (5), boots (10) covers speed freeing the second ring slot for a pure damage ring. Or, alternatively, PDSM(5), boots(15), 2x dam ring.

          Grats on that. I didnt want to bash your find, just slightly poked by Pete's use of "best".

            he he, i also was gonna say something, but decided not to. I don't want to shatter his dreams of one day finding a PDMS.

            The funny thing is, for some reason, this Ego is actually quite rare: bear with me for an explanation on this seemingly obvious statement.

            In my golden days of 300.000 turns games, i would find tons of PDSMs and just ignore them. Nowadays my games are 180/190k and about not many of those at DL98, so i rarely find PDSMs. BUT, i almost always find Artefact Dragon armour - look at my previous characters, almost ALL had artifact dragon armours, and if they didn't, they had some stashed at home.

            For some curious reason, artifact "pdsm" get generated more often than actual PDSM. And the artifacts are always more powerful, they may lack one or two resistance (or don't), but often have extra blows, rare activations, huge speed bonuses, tons of stat bonuses, etc.

            Frankly i am not impressed by dragon armours {of Speed}, as the bonus is between +1 and +5, while at the same time i'm finding rings of speed +14, and frankly i'd rather have +CON or +STR by this time, because due to my pretty darn solid house inventory management sk1lz, i have all my resists covered. +5 Spd is not a lot when you are CL50 and at DL98, and already rocking speeds of +25 (at least). Chest armour is very often my primary source of CON, unless i've got some weird randart ring.

            I absolutely refuse to wear CON rings, rings are for zoooming, not for plumping.

              Yes with randarts its unlikely that the +5 speed is going to make the difference; I was evaluating for standarts where speed comes in multiples of 5 mostly.

              And ofc I am not talking about speed +1, that is never going to matter.

                AAAAGH MISTAAAAAKE


                i am not dead. but.

                so i grinded my way to CL50, even though i do a very respectable 400 vs evil, i was going to Mana Storm morgoth. And because i have all the resists, i decided that i would kill those pesky uniques he loves summoning.

                Thing is, i forgot that cold breath is bad.

                I lost a ton of potions. I now have 5 Heal, 9 *Heal and 9 Mana. Down from 21 Heal, 16 *Heal and 21 Mana. And because i was overconfident, i sold off my arrows, too.

                to grind, or not to grind?

                  Half-Troll Mage: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=23958

                  final results with 33 CCW, 8 Heal, 9 *Heal, 14 Mana, 2 Life, and 3 rods of healing.
                  I used 2x CCW (for stun), 3 Heal, 3 *Heal, 6 Mana. I guess i overestimated the amount of consumables i would need. No rods used. I got mana stormed a couple times, but otherwise i was fine.
                  Did not have time to dig a big room.

                  Early game was made *very* easy by finding immediately rPois, and not one, but FOUR activations for some sort of direct damage; a rod of cold balls, an artifact armour with 150 dmg fireball, a longbow with A: firebolt, and .. uh .. something else that also cast a bolt. I rekked the early uniques before i even started using my mana.
                  Trolls do have a massive advantage as mages in the early game, is that the regen will have your mana tick up by nearly a point per round.
                  Sure, you have less mana than an elf. But once you "accidentally" run out, with a troll you can hold the monsters for a few rounds while you wait for those 7 mana to cast teleport self.

                    Congrats.

                    With a mage, you can avoid LOS and dont even need to max con. Find or make a wide open room, by destruction or otherwise, sit in the middle and cast create door. As P approaches, open the right door so he wont get LOS but you do, use mana bolt (I think its called that, the single target damage spell from arcane control), If he gets close, tp him away, if he moves in a way to gain LOS, close the door.

                    All you need is enough speed, a few !mana and a couple destructs, to clear away the initial nasties.

                    Edit: I keep forgetting you are playing the older version.

                          Mana storm with 2x faster spellcasting makes short work even of Morgoth.
