Hi folks - another compatriot needs assistance in figuring out how best to equip a late-game character. This is my second trip to the bottom of the dungeon, but it's definitely a stronger char than the first. My main problem is that I'm out of space at home and I'm having trouble prioritizing resists/speed/con/aggravation... that kind of thing. Here's the dump, reproduced below.
Some things I wonder about: whether rBlind is worth preserving now that I have rDark and rLight, as well as telepathy; whether I should wear Hammerhand and Calris for the CON and screw aggravation; whether lacking rShards is worth worrying about this late in the game. Also, is there anything at home that is clearly disposable? Thanks in advance for any help.
