My first character to make it to 1000ft thanks to a magically appearing shovel at 750ft when I was trapped by grotesque rubble. Stealthy attacks was great but it only worked to a certain point. I may have been better served spending a little more time before entering the throne room and raising my melee/evasion

That could be right. 30 Evasion is certainly impressive, but with such a low amount of Protection, you really needed to not get hit. It is quite possible that the Filthy Rag of Dungalef would have served you better than the Corslet, as you would have had 34 Evasion and more Stealth, especially gaining Vanish and Disguise. Great work though. With the knowledge gained it should become much easier to get down there to try again.

Yea, I usually wore the rag. I did not change to the corselet and crown until after I had woken several monsters and was being backed into a corner.

I think the emphasis on evasion really hurt you here. You have some insane stealth equipment already (+5 shadow cloak?!), by putting a few more points into it, you could have been almost invisible to the throne room monsters.

Assassination really only works well with high stealth (20+) and Vanish, IMO. You want to get to the point where you can cherry-pick and backstab a cat warrior in the middle of a pack, and not have any of the others wake up.

I'm guessing you put the crown of Feanor on right at the very end, but just in case you didn't... wrath is basically asking for death with a stealth/stab character. Alternately, scaling back evasion and buying Critical Resistance would probably given you more bang-for-buck.

It may have been better to switch to Nargil-only, right at the end... you can usually get a 3x critical quite easily with it, and you may have been able to confuse/stun enough enemies to wade through the gaps they leave while bumping around.

Finally, this may be counterintuitive, but it's often good to charge through a group of monsters when you have vanish, especially if the alternative is being chased into a corner :) With high enough stealth and a potion of quickness, you can survive some surprisingly ridiculous-looking situations.

That "Alternatively, scaling back..." line should have been placed at the end of my first paragraph :) Pav, I need a bigger textbox here!!! :D

I think debo and I might both be right: if you had less evasion and more stealth, you might have been fine, and similarly if you had less stealth and more evasion.

I think the bigger problem is that stealth really doesn't fit my playstyle. I don't use stealth to pick my battles, just to get the opening shot. I just went with the stealth because that was the equipment I got.
