And dead. Don't think there was a way to survive that given what I had...unless I pulled off some sort of !quickness and horn of force combo.

I have serious issues surviving new floors. It seems there are always a ton of monsters near the stairs where you spawn. And I play as if I had the discontinued stairs challenge on. i.e. I never go back up the stairs after coming through it. It just somehow feels wrong to do so...so I never developed the habit.

I walked down the stairs, saw a giant above me. Got him low, before he ran for the stairs. By that point, I realized there were a swarm of orcs behind him. So I ran the other way, only to be face to face with another giant. Didn't want to wake him up so I took the branch down. And there I saw Easterling warriors and mountain trolls. If I had !rage, maybe I could have pulled something off, but none spawned that game.

Try this skill order:

Start with 6 melee + evasion
Get dodging + flanking (so 8 evasion)
Get finesse and ZoC (7 melee)
Get loremaster (7 per)
Put all the rest of your XP into melee until you start getting shadow enemies and need keen senses.

also, you should never wear vanilla Gauntlets unless they have strength on them. -1 melee is too steep a penalty for 1d2 protection, imo

Hmm, I'll give that a try.

The idea is to avoid situations like the one you are in where you are surrounded by enemies in a corridor. This leads to melee penalties. If you're going to fight in a corridor, it's best to do so at the very entrance to one and close the door repeatedly and get enemies annoyed enough to barge in. This way, you are in a good position to fight, while also being able to use buffs and rage to escape if you absolutely must due to getting flanked. But otherwise, it's preferable to fight in the open using flanking and ZoC, because you can get a lot of free attacks while also having an evasion boost and keeping escape routes open.

er, meant to say evasion penalties.

Yea, I'm going to favor evasion over melee earlier on. Makes sense now that I think about it. Orcs (main threats early on).

I think there's three main paths you can go with on melee. 1) Go stealth and get listen/exchange places so you can avoid getting in unfavorable situations where you are outnumbered and cornered. 2) Go heavy armour, get critical resistance and crowd fighting so it's not that bad even when you find yourself in those situations. 3) Go evasion heavy with dodging/flanking, and fight in the open where it's much more difficult to get cornered. Flanking also lets you isolate targets much like in corridors, I've found. The other enemies are busy chasing you (and therefore not hitting you) while you run in circles around your target and whittle him down.

Oops, I didn't finish that thought.

Orcs hit hard but don't hit often. Stack evasion so they don't hit at all. Then, get a 2H and go to town. Since they won't be hitting you, the extra AC from shields is meaningless. Only use one as a swap when you meet archers.

Tried that build order and have to say it feels better. I was probably getting loremaster too early, and the ID experience wasn't enough to balance out the early investment.

My decision to only wield great swords, bastard swords, and warhammers this run was probably another large factor to explain why I had such an easy time this run though. Seriously loving 2 handers and in general 3-4 dice weapons.
