Early attempt at a devicemaster. My first few tries were experiments with trying to get a big kill in the wilderness using the starting wands. I died a lot, but did manage to kill a few things with a few, however it didn't seem all that worth it as you can easily do the thieves right away instead, still getting a bunch of xp and some good items too.

I went with highish Str/Dex/Con and low Int, also going with combat personality at the expense of a little device skill, not sure if that's a good idea or not, but it seems to have worked so far. Went with Drac instead of a frail casty race, too.

Rod specialty seems like it would have been a better choice right now. Hopefully later wands can come to bear a little more, I forget what the high end wands are in this variant actually.

If .18 doesn't have new rods, wands are best dmg. Highest are disintegrate and rockets iirc.

Rods have Havoc, Healing, Speed as nice rods. And of course the Elemental balls.

Sounds good, hopefully I can get there. CL25@D:30 now, thankfully I just found a rod of monster location, I was getting a little worried I hadn't found one yet.

Drain life is coming in very handy. Seems like dispel evil might be my best damage, though I'm not sure on that. There's been a fairly steady stream of upgrades so far, so hopefully this continues.

I feel like after D:40 I don't know where to go without jumping into dragon's lair, I didn't feel like just scumming the end of the lonely mountain until I got ??. Glass castle is a pain, all the anti-foo places are awkward, graveyard sounds awful

I often pause at/near DL40 for stat gain. The power level at that depth begins to increase very dramatically, though I did finally move drolems a bit deeper (They were common in the late 30's and even spawned in wide awake packs of golems!). AMHD are also exceptionally deadly at this depth and need to be avoided.

Before the lair, I would generally like at least 500hp, +10 speed (staff of speed is OK), telepathy, and most resistances covered (especially poison), but this reflects my cowardly playstyle. I think Victor must jump in at CL15 or so and he does quite fine, though I really have no idea how often he dies :D

I would think a devicemaster could survive either of anti-melee or anti-magic fairly well. Is it too difficult to rely solely on devices for damage output (anti-melee)? At DL40, wands of dragon's flame/frost start showing up and are quite powerful. A bit of patience and they should turn up.

My tactics would be to recall to DL40 and hunt a couple of worthy monsters to slay. Ancient elemental dragons are best. Then recall back to recharge my arsenal and repeat.

Yeah I could have been okay doing anti-melee, it just bothers me a little to not be able to use one thing or another, if even it's not quite necessary... I'll try again in the new version.
