Ah, rendering =Mouse trash once again. Maybe if they lowered the damage penalty...This thread, it needs more rage. -- Napstopher WalkenComment

The difficulty is in balancing the benefits of an item with the penalties and with the expected character power level. Early on it's not unreasonable to ask a character to use items that have a near-zero "net power level", since the penalties hurt things that the character can deal with (e.g. lower AC, but you kill things faster so on balance things work out). Later on, the character is expected to take on much more powerful enemies; if they're armed solely with net-zero items then they're simply not going to be powerful enough, not at least with the current monster set and damage formulae.
Rings of the Mouse are currently niche items: they're usable by non-melee characters (mages, priests, possibly rangers) and by those in the rare situation where the DEX boost overcomes the damage penalty. That's fine. More than adequate user base. Characters that want an early-game combat boost should be using Reckless Attacks; otherwise, you can wait for =DEX and Cloaks/Boots of Stealth to show up to get what =Mouse gives you.Comment

With mixed blessing jewelry, basically I use escaping with pure casters and reckless attack with everyone else. The rest pretty much gets squelched as soon as found. Ring of the mouse might be balanced, but it just fills too small a niche to bother with. If it were amulet of the mouse, I would use it.
Ironman is a different matter entirely as the average time between "upgrades" is greater.Comment

I have indeed retired the ring of mouse as stats bumped upwards. The loss of stealth hasn't been noticeable to me and I've needed the increased damage as I've nudged up against the 1900' poison death all ye who pass this depth sign. Still haven't found anything to plug my poison hole aside from a ring. Right now I'm finding my biggest issue to be ood uniques/nasties. That AMHD that cropped up was.. exciting. Good incentive to keep working on calris.
Is poison usually such a chore to cover or is the rng just taunting me?
Also potions of speed have saved me in some unpleasant situations but I'm nearly out, is there a good depth for looking at for more? They don't seem to crop up anymore down here
I think I'm going to sacrifice some damage and risk going deeper carefully.
Edit: Clearly I need to complain about the rng more on here, some nice troll just gave me a ring of speed +10 at 1950'Last edited by Imp; April 5, 2011, 14:56.Comment

The black market's also a good place for speed potions, since they can show up in stacks there. Generally my playstyle involves carrying a couple of speed potions for emergencies and stashing the rest in my home; once I get a staff of speed (or reliable casting of Haste Self) all potions get saved for the endgame, so I can take on Sauron/Morgoth without worrying about charge drain, spell failure rates, or mana supplies.
I think the issue with speed potion generation rates is that there's much less competition for potions on dlvl 1 than on dlvl 40. Thus even if speed potions are "more common" at dlvl 40, any given potion at dlvl 1 is more likely to be a speed potion.Comment

Coming along nicely, 23 perma speed is pretty nice. Finally found something to cover nexus, now if I could just get some poison to free up that ring slot. I assume there's no reason to keep that crossbow of might? I've never been super familiar with all the details of bow damage but 2 attacks seems better to my simple mind. Overall trucking along nicely right now, the only thing that gives me trouble is anything resisting both brands on the pike. It can be annoying but with the speed I can just kite if I have to I guess. Calris continues to be a pain to fix but I'm chipping away at it. Is sting worth hanging on to for those 7 attacks or is it too difficult to stack enough damage sources to make up for it's low inherent damage? Any suggestions on gear changes are welcome, thanks for the tips guys.Code:[Angband 3.2.0 Character Dump] Name Stabby Self RB CB EB Best Sex Female Age 109 STR: 18/52 +1 +2 +2 18/102 Race High-Elf Height 87 INT: 18 +3 +1 +6 18/100 Class Rogue Weight 197 WIS: 11 -1 -2 +3 11 Title Sharper Social Respected DEX: 18/83 +3 +3 +1 18/153 HP 340/340 Maximize Y CON: 16 +1 +1 +0 18 SP 116/116 CHR: 18 +5 -1 +0 18/40 Level 33 Armor [49,+97] Saving Throw 82% Cur Exp 569535 Fight (+20,+11) Stealth Superb Max Exp 569535 Melee (+30,+23) Fighting Heroic Adv Exp 618750 Shoot (+32,+15) Shooting Heroic MaxDepth 2150' (L43) Blows 5.0/turn Disarming 100% Game Turns 662288 Shots 2/turn Magic Device 91 Standard Turns 106009 Infra 40 ft Perception 1 in 7 Resting Turns 4831 Speed 23 Searching 40% Gold 427042 Burden 105.9 lbs You are the only child of a Vanyarin Ranger.

Dive! With your speed and stealth you should be able to avoid most too dangerous monsters with ease. Amulets of Trickery (that's what you are looking for: Poison, more speed, stealth and nexus) are native to 3500', around 4000' is good depth to you. Kill weaklings in your way (even novice rangers drop stat-potions at 3000+').Comment

I've never had a char survive this deep sadly, any enemies I should be aware of as a definite "flee the level, turn off the pc and hudle under the bed for awhile"?

Avoid all Angel uniques, nastier packs of greater demons, namely Balrogs, Pit Fiends, Bile Demons, Osyluth, Gelugons, Horned reapers. Anything that moves at speed +20 or faster is something that you need to be careful around. Dracolichs, Black Reavers, Nightwalker, Nightcrawler of undeads. Dracolisks in zoos. Great wyrms of something other than basic four (many are summoners). Titans and Greater Titans hit hard to confuse and can cast tele-to and summon. Mystics can knock you out, if you get stunned *heal immediately* (CCW is enough).
Nearly all deeper "U":s are summoners, so be careful around them. Greater Q:s summon not one but many greater variant of their corresponding type and they have tele-to spells, also drujs can do that same, so graveyards are very very dangerous.
Get rod of probing, use your stealth and that to learn which monsters are worth fighting. Once you have 600+ HP, Basic4, poison, confusion, chaos, sound, blindness and +20+ speed you can risk being in LoS of any single monster for at least one turn.
Tarrasque, Huan, Carcharoth, Vecna, etc. are to be avoided until you are confident that you can fight pretty much anything. Mouth of Sauron is much worse than you would expect based on books.Comment

Progressing nicely. Stealth at 22 when skulking with gondricam on, probably don't 'need' it but the regen is nice to have for healing up after a fight and nobody ever died from being too sneaky. Just found crisdurian which I was thinking should replace til-i-arc as my bread and butter fight weapon? It would let me toss haradekket also since it covers undead duty. I assume I should still keep lugging calris for the disenchant and slightly better dragon mashing when the aggravate isn't an issue. Any thoughts on that fury lance I'm sitting on? It's got potential but it really needs a brand ring to push it past stuff I'm using now and the aggravate really seems like a burden I'm unlikely to feel safe with soon, toss it or hold on to it for later?

Having only played warriors and not very well at that the rogue seems pretty broken. Being able to detect and plan what I engage and how along with having the ability to haste self, boost resists etc. really helps survivability. Thanks for the run away advice also, I think part of my previous poor play was in thinking anything on a given level should be something I can kill and not understanding that it was more of a do what you can safely and move on. process. Only real annoyance right now is life drain which is a small thing and time hounds which sure do suck.Comment

I've never quite recognized the value in the rod of probing. Every time I use one, it never tells me anything more than how many HP things have left. That's useful for figuring the breather damage you might be looking at, but beyond that I usually already have a rough idea how long it's going to take to kill something. Is it supposed to tell me anything more than HP, or am I misjudging the value of the exact HP number?Comment
