Trying to be a bruiser. HM, where do I go from here???

With Fingolfin bruiser builds, I look for a Greatsword ASAP and then go shield-less afterwards.
Right now, you're in cat warrior territory. I'd get Critical Resistance + Crowd Fighting, and then Poison Resistance as soon as possible. You'll start running into Greater Werewolves, and they can hurt a lot.

Actually, you probably don't need the Poison Resistance from the Wil tree until late game when you encounter Ancient Spiders and Ancient Emerald/Adamant Serpents.

I think I might rush to crit resist. Im trying to decide which of opportunist, crit resist, heavy armor use, or just plain more melee I want the most.
I'd really love zone of control or flanking but both are sort of awkward to get at the moment. I want opportunist so I can potentially go rapid attack later, but I don't really want to go the follow-thru route. Or maybe I should...

I already have antivenom on my corslet (for the time being) :)

Antivenom is cumulative, though.
I would get the abilities in this order:
1st Critical Resistance
2nd Heavy Armor Use (since you have Blocking)
3rd Opportunist
4th Just more melee

The Follow-Through route is a good idea, and advantageous.

You waited until I was drunk to post... not fair!
Hmmm. Argh! All those letters... merging, dizzying. Can't read. I will summarize my bruiser arc, which is different from Hugo's bruiser arc.
1. Focus on evasion, some melee, get to '9' evasion, take heavy armor mastery. Get melee to decent score, 10-14.
2. Mid-game, start piling on heavy armor as you find it, keep melee at 10-14 for time being, purchase stupid survivability things, like keen senses/inner light/hardiness/poisonresist/ all that crap.
3. Keep piling on armor, start buffing melee to 20, crit resistance.
4. Once melee hits 20, star removing armor for more killing power, as killing fast negates need to hide in armor.
5. Buy stupidly overpowered crap now, like listen, song of slaying/sharpness, rapid attack?,
6. Drink heavily.
7. Profit.
On 30.6.2013 01:41 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
So... you need heavy armor use next. Then, find the most stupidly heavy crap you can wear. Think... 80 pound -4 to everything corslet. Ditch that stupid ass spear you aren't ever going to use that shit. And those fucking axes. Throwing sucks. You want the defender longsword if spiders aren't around. Arrows suck too. Get rid of that shortbow you've already identified it. Hold on to the +3 arrows to help you identify the next stupid special curved stick with a string you find.
On 30.6.2013 02:35 debo wrote:
Well HM, I came to pretty much the same conclusion as you. It's working out well so far. It's astonishing how few consumables I have to use, after having had to play mega-carefully for so long on 0-stealth low-protection high-evasion chars!
I've only used one !quick and one ,rage so far, and that's it :) I imagine that will change soon.
I think I'll put a couple more pts in evasion and then go for song of slaying. My only concern is total lack of fire resist...
On 30.6.2013 03:33 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
Awesome! Just... don't miss! hahaha. I'm always nervous when I decide to ditch shield for more offensive power after relying on protection for so long. I see you have the rpois ring. Good call. You will get poisoned a lot when you get hit all the time. I just buy it on the tree. Again, don't miss! +25 would be great.

This is the first time you ever had possession of Glend?
On 30.6.2013 14:36 debo wrote:
Nah I had Glend before, but I've seen Nan maybe 3 times in my life, as compared to Gilim who I seem to find every single game.
So I killed this guy off in the stupidest way imaginable... I was cleaning out my inventory, had my armor off, went to eat the herb of sustenance that was on the floor... except I was on the wrong square and it was entrancement. Guess who showed up while I was sleeping? Belegwath :/
Don't play this game when you're sleepy, folks!
Anyhow, this seems like a pretty stable way to play. I like it, I'll probably do another run like this soon.
On 30.6.2013 14:41 debo wrote:
Two questions for HM:
How high do you usually take evasion with these builds?
And how do you get melee any higher when wearing heavy armor? I don't fancy putting 25 pts in melee, that's so expensive. Song of slaying will help situationally, but..
I've seen how Hugo does it and that makes sense to me, but you usually have higher protection than he does I think?
On 30.6.2013 15:46 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
20d6 wall of text. The tl;dr, ... You need the shield... it's a war of attrition. If you focus on protection, you have to have protection. You can only 'come out of the shell', when you have way more than +21, 3d12. For example, buffed up fights in the throne room, or just ridiculous scores at the-very-end. Coming out of the shell isn't really part of the plan... it's a nice bonus if you get good gear or manage a lot of xp.
The long version:
With evasion, I often just stop at the 9 points. I usually buy crowd fighting sometime by 500, sometimes first, sometimes last. Toward the end of the game, I will pump a few points but 9 is good enough for a long time. It would be cool if the character posts would indicate point distributions as well as ability purchases.
Focused attack and concentration is really good if you don't mind waiting a turn then striking for 10 consecutive rounds for an eventual +10 melee bonus. I find a +10 perception bonus optimal, as by five wait-attacks the target is either dead, or the target is tough and you need to buff, starting the clock over. One of the main reasons I don't buy loremaster is to keep keen senses/listen/focus/conc affordable... I have to buy a lot of junk... but I know you love it. I'm on the fence about loremaster but I haven't taken it in a long time.
I don't ditch the shield unless I am certain I can hit 95% of the time and take more than half of everything's health with every connection. Your +21, 3d12 isn't good enough for that. It's pretty fun, no doubt, but not certain enough to remove what's kept you alive this long... your protection. It probably takes 3 attack rounds to kill a Kem, I would guess. Too deadly with only +14, 8-22.
For my playstyle, think... War of Attrition. You might not hit often at +16 melee bonus, but you will eventually win. I prioritize hitting at +20 last. A battleaxe and shield is optimal, or a good bastard sword, or a slaying longsword. The melee penalty is really only on the armor and shield and weapon. You can often find a good armor at -1, a shield at -1 and a weapon at -2... it's not terrible. My latest characters had a lot of luck finding black blades with the +1 accuracy, but usually, I'm focus attacking a battleaxe with a native +15-16 attack bonus until the last few floors.
On 30.6.2013 15:55 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
When I said earlier about removing armor for killing power at +20 melee... I wasn't specific enough. I should have worded it like... consider taking small incremental protection losses for incremental increases in melee ability and deadliness. For example, my last character shed his 1d2 protection ring for +1 damage, then exchanged the 1d4 protection wolf-hame, for 1d1 prot cloak gradually as the game wound down.
On 30.6.2013 16:00 debo wrote:
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out that pulse of exchanging evasion or protection for damage.
With Glend, this was less of an issue -- I was actually roflstomping everything up to 800', including Kemenrauko. Most Kemen's I fought died in 1-2 hits. Having that teensy bit of stealth actually helps quite a lot too.
If I'd had to use the defender longsword with the shield, I probably would have taken momentum to get a bit more oomph.
Throwing axes, as much as you malign them, are helpful as well -- if I can take even 1/3rd of a target's health away with an axe before I engage, I can probably kill them in 1 hit instead of 2. :)
I still think I could have made it pretty far shieldless with this guy if I hadn't turfed myself doing stupid inventory shit. To add insult to injury, after belegwath hit me the first time, I went to drink quickness and drank slow poison instead :/

Cool! Yeah, I admit I don't understand how you guys take two handing so quickly. I would probably shoot arrows and throw weapons if I weren't so damn lazy. I can just one hand the numberpad and lay back and drink. You need two hands for the archery and throwing, and multiple keystrokes. Screw that. You guys can optimize turncount, I'm optimizing ergonomic drinking.

On 30.6.2013 19:26 HugoTheGreat2011 wrote:
I almost almost go go for Two-handed weapons as my repertoire because I like to brandish high damage with good accuracy whenever possible, even at cost of protection. More often not, I get access to Glend quite often. Regarding Evasion vs. Protection, I favor high Evasion > Protection, but DO want at least moderate protection, meaning the 2nd number at least 15-20. I prefer seeing monsters 'missing their hits' (high Evasion) as opposed to 'me soaking up hits' (high protection). If the monster hit manages to hit, I expect my moderate protection to soak it up. (Of course, HM and some others will disagree with me). There is really NOTHING WRONG with favoring very high protection. However, most of my high protection runs (namely the ones who found Nevrast) ran into *really bad* luck with monsters...In one case, protection with Nevrast in high 20s + Evasion in mid 20s didn't save me from Gothmog who killed me in one hit with an HP in the 40s, even with one layer of FireResistance.
My two cents.

With my runs, I do this for almost all my current end-games:
20 points (at least) Melee
20 points (at least) Evasion
6 points Stealth
6 points Perception
12 points Will
10 points Song (if I have enough EXP)
How about everyone else?
