Need advice.

Seriously strong now against everything but archers and critical resisting raukar. Also feat. free action items this time. Robe of Aredhel is a seriously good drop for this kind of build too. However, I am not sure where to go. Originally I planned for Slaying + Freedom (one more freedom of movement) in throneroom with the light weapon, but the recent Song of Mastery attempts by scatha and debo make me contemplate Mastery soon-ish (but when do I save the XP?).

Also useful for this build ZoC, maybe Parry/Riposte later when I find a good shortsword and change weapon, Sprinting, Crowd Fighting, ... overwhelmed by the possibilities.

I never killed so many midgame uniques.

1 str is very limiting b/c you can't carry heavy swap gear, and you can't even really rely on a big-dice weapon for serpents. A good partial solution is find a super light bastard sword that you can wield 2-handed, but against critical resistant monsters (kemenrauko) that doesn't work well.

This kind of character might benefit from diving 700'->900', just to get away from all the super-fast monsters. Vampires are bad, but I think there are fewer of them when you take into account all the cats + werewolves + darting horrors + blargh that show up at 700'

IMO you'd be better off with +18-20 evasion and something like 5-20 prot rather than +25 evasion and 4-5 prot. Don't be afraid to use heavy armor against fast, high-accuracy monsters, since they're going to hit you anyways. The alternative is to get a lot of Con. But even in the early-mid game vs archers, carrying a kite shield and a mail corslet to swap to means that archers are cake.

Dodging+flanking also benefits from fighting in open spaces, since you literally have more wiggle room to wiggle around and constantly get the +3 from dodging.

TL:DR; with this kind of character, get used to carrying 1 heavy weapon and 1 heavy armor around, or use something else so that you can pick fights (e.g. high stealth, diving to deeper depths with fewer fast monsters).

All my opinion, of course :)

You are as so often right, 2 5 4 3 is the more enlightened approach to this kind of build. I aim for a 2lb shortsword/deathblade anyway. I was half roleplaying (doing things that feel right instead of being efficient) when I should not. At least I got freedom of movement this time (maybe 1 would have been enough, instead of the 4 I potentially had with robe, boots, axe and song :)) will never die again to lack of freedom of movement and 3d8 with the axe wasn't too shabby (enough for Duruin at least).

I usually was fighting in open spaces but here we are in a vault a long way from the next room (and wolves are vast) - it is also great with flanking+sprinting.

STR 2, swap armour and diving past cats and wolves it is then. This is the second char in a row lost to greater werewolves in a vault (my Finarfin, concentration from start 1336 Galadriel too).

imo, I would have also taken Focused Attack + Concentration to kill off the Greater werewolves.

Concentration + flanking (even more when incl. ZoC, Opportunist etc.) doesn't add up imo. It simply feels wrong to get an ability which is wasted in the usual fighting mode. I tried a light weapon, parry, concentration build at start with a finarfin recently (Galadriel in the ladder) to go for mastery later - and even riposte wasn't optimal with concentration but flanking? It can also work, but felt quite different.

I am quite fond of Song of Freedom these days. Addresses my previous lack of sources of free action and does a lot of other useful things. (Not the least is the rubble clearing.)

Yeah concentration is tough to use with any of the autotrigger-attack abilities, IMO. Even with flanking, as it's hard to reliably focus on one monster when you're blitting around. Perception is better spent on Master Hunter and/or Bane with those builds. Or you can just cross your fingers and hope you'll get those Tar-na-fuin boots :)
