                         (Character Background)
          In your childhood, you were stupid enough to stick your
          head in raw Logrus.  You have green reptilian eyes, mangy
          brown fur, and the hooves of a goat.


          ...Now, you are in Telmora.

[Dlvl Tower] [Clvl 10] 0:27

This early game is so darn hard! I mean, I don't even have a single source of ranged damage at the beginning. Had to fail the flurry of quest to get into the Tower, where I fearfully let myself get breathed on my Energy hounds.

It took me like an hour to get Eat Magic, so dying quickly is not an option!

Crap. I didn't even notice the black aura. Oy.

Wow ... you can learn Breathe Lightning at CL10?

Dead, due to a Nexus Hound in the Tower. I don't get this class. They're arguably the worst at the early game, and they suck in the end-game. Maybe mediocre in the mid-game. What's the redeeming feature, or is this just a class on a par with the Tourist?

Chris: Yeah, more like was forced to. With 4 weapon damage per round and no ranged attack, I didn't see any other way than to head straight to Tower and go for a breath. It started at 60% Fail, I think.

Well, I don't know. My last BM (Patient Lightbringer) was feeling pretty buff, but the Eat Magic was key in that regard. Before that guy, I only ever won a BM once with a spectre, and he could hide in walls to regain sp, though I've had a few promising Mindflayers that died of neglect (meaning the save file eventually got deleted).

For a start, I usually scum CL2 any way I can, and then head to the wilderness next to the first town. Toggle back and forth until a novice mage appears, and then pick up magic missile. You can ride that spell until CL15 or even CL20. For mid level, you will have elemental breaths for the high 200's for 12sp. That's pretty darn good, considering breaths are sort of an area effect (I think they work like a combo beam spell that fans out with ball like effects ... any way, you can take out mobs quite handily). For the end game, there is Starburst and Darkness Storm, both are Mana Storm caliber (oh yeah, you have that too, but it actually has a fail rate so why bother?). The main issue for the end game will be mana, but Eat Magic can handle that (if you scum), passwall can handle that (if you play a spectre), and for the final battle, you just quaff !Restore Mana.

But like all mage like classes, its take a heck of a lot of patience to get there ...

What about summoning spells? Summon Ancient Dragons sounds like a nice spell to have

Chris:

If the spoiler page is accurate, the Starburst, Darkness Storm, and Mana Storm spells do 50+10d10+clvl*4, which means 305 expected damage at lvl 50... a whole 40% less damage per round than Mages with Mana Storm! Plus, as you mentioned, no Eat Magic intrinsically.

Wait.. maybe we have different definitions for mid-level? Elemental breaths are HP/3 damage, so doing high 200's damage means you have to have 800+ HP; that would be at least clvl 42ish.

Matthias:

Oh, I did pick up a "Summon Monster" spell. I tried casting it on the surface 8 times, and each time it went hostile immediately (I'm not even a Sexy character this time!). One wraith-type creature almost killed me the last time, and that's when I decided that it was basically a Staff of Summoning, rather than Trump summoning.

I think the damage output is actually 450 + 10d10 ... but I'm going off memory. Its not like you can just fire up a BM in wizard mode and test it out! Oh wait, I'll check the source. Assuming I am looking at the correct method (cast_learned_spell in mspells3.c), the damage calculation is: CL * 8 + 50 + 10d10, which is what I recall. This holds for Mana Storm, Darkness Storm and Starburst. The Mage Mana Storm tops off at 500, so you are on average doing the same amount of damage.

Yeah, my midgame was a post tower buff and maybe later than I recall ... probably more a late mid-game! Breathing for about 200hp is still pretty useful, assuming you have 600hp. Plus, there are effects like stunning and confusion, and you can usually find one elemental breath that works. Not too many monsters resist all the elements.

On 13.7.2010 16:44 chris wrote:
Regarding the early Breathe Lightning, the Spoiler site says it is a level 20 spell. The source agrees, and I always assumed that you needed to be CL20 to learn it! My bad, actually, you can learn spells early. The test is:

(randint1(p_ptr->lev + 70) > monster_powers[monspell].level + 40)

So, for you, a random integer between 1 and 80 only had to be greater than 60 (~25%). I feel so stupid for never having ever tried to learn spells early :P

Hm, 500 damage manastorm/starburst, I could actually live with, given the Dispel Magic and Disintegrate. OK, another hour to scum Eat Magic it is!
