My best polearm specialist to date. All my previous deaths tried the critical seeking spear thing, with much failure. I've taken zone of control for the first time, and am a bit underwhelmed. It's been kind of nifty here and there, but it seems like I need to do a lot of moving to trigger lots of zoc attacks and that's not really my style. I like to hunker down and fight. Maybe I'll see the zoc light later on. Should I manage to see the endgame, I'd like to make a sharp, cold branded halberd.

So far, so good, and sitting on a 4 use forge. Not much experience in the tank, but most of 800' is unexplored. I dominated 700' and 750', and just acquired my first enchanted halberd... probably of orc slaying. I'll likely make a feanorian lamp and then hope I can amass enough xp for a hammer w/ smithing bonuses and/or masterpiece. First time taking critical resistance as well.

Not sure I understand the skilling choices... Charge as well as polearm mastery/focused attack/concentration? Parry with [+1]? Critical resistance on an evasion specialist?

I took charge to kill an 'H' in the middle of a vault, plus I figured it would help me get to the point of strength I'll eventually want to buy, since polearm mastery/zone of control fizzles out on the melee tree. Power was probably the better buy.

Parry was probably a bad choice, but at the time I was getting my ass handed to me and only had 500xp in the bank. I doubt it made a difference, but a cheap +1 was hard to resist.

I've never taken critical resistance before and thought I'd give it a run. I'm not sure how much higher my evasion or protection will go at this point, but I am getting hit a fair bit. It's bound to be helpful and everyone seems to be buying it these days. I wouldn't want to feel left out.

Anyway, that's my logic... flawed as it very well may be! I usually play fairly sub-optimally. For example, I hammer away at purple molds for 3 or 4 turns before I even notice what it is I'm fighting.

In one game of mine, Zone of Control seemed a little more effective with Flanking since moving around to attack made groups of enemies move around me more often. I was never sure whether it was worth the xp, however.

Zone of Control is at its best with erratically moving creatures. It therefore does fairly well with Cruel Blow, since this confuses creatures (though Cruel Blow may just be enough on its own). It also does well against creatures that are attempting to surround you. While there is a natural synergy with Blocking (since it lets you do things while Blocking), it is perhaps better with a high damage weapon (like the Halberd). That way, the extra attacks really matter and the orcs which are trying to block off the corridor will just be dead orcs.

At least that is the theory. I find it a fun ability to think about, but I don't know how good it really is (especially when some alternatives like Charge are just *so* powerful).

Flanking + Zone of Control sounds very strong, especially if you can get unlimited ZoC hits per turn (never tested).

Pretty much a suicide. I knew what I was dealing with and didn't care. This often happens when I leave a character alone for a few days... I just don't care and am not into it anymore. Sil's pretty much, for me anyway, a single playthrough game. At most, two sessions.
