Ok no more messing around. This time we'll do it Luglug style. Half-Troll Paladin with randarts and force descent, knowing all flavors/runes at birth.

No idea how this game will go, but when a blue yeek drops +14 speed randart boots on DL2, you can expect ANYTHING! I bet all the weapons in the randart set will be ubercrap now...

For sure I'm gonna take stairs as soon as I see them and use every scroll of Deep Descent I find until I'm at 1500ft or so, because that will greatly lower the turncount.

For my first dive, I'll stop at 1000ft. Map revealed my first vault (lesser). Nothing more dangerous than a cloud giant... oh and the Mim boys (didn't show on Detect Evil).

Forget what I said about randart weapons... dropped by a master rogue on DL30, an insane lance. This seems like a weapon I'm gonna keep for the rest of the game. Feels on par with some of the insane randart weapons reported recently by other players (9d9 quarterstaff doing 2000+ against monsters weak to slay).

Lol I'm finding very very nice randart weapons and I leave them behind with no regret. At this point, any of them would have made any other char happy...

Note: having high DPS + Minor Healing really helps with the turncount, as you almost never have to stop for resting.

Stopping at 2000ft for now. Still on par with the 300 turns/DL to keep turncount potentially under or near 30k in the end. No idea if it's gonna end well, as I'm clearly not playing carefully at all

Nuts as the lance may be, those boots on level 2 are a much bigger deal.

Err... how am I supposed to beat those ridiculous turncounts? ;)

Anyway, down to 2500ft, recalled, got ESP crown from BM. Now I guess I'll have to read every DD scroll I see and simply rush to Morgoth. I guess it'll simply depend on whether I can find the 3rd book or not.

On 4.6.2018 11:40 PowerWyrm wrote:
... and I find the third book moments later at 2650ft. Also my first Band and its usual absurd amounts of stats and resists.

Also found a 11(!)d6 Morning Star with slay evil... If only I didn't get that absurd lance, I would have probably used that for the endgame (although slay evil is poitnless for a paladin now since you can cast the spell).

Read ?DD to keep pace with turncount down to 3050ft. Now to pace is 200 turns/level instead of 300 thanks to you guys ;)

... and I immediately find the MOST ABSURD randart I ever found just lying on the floor a few squares away! I know now what definitely needs to be nerfed in the next version...

So what now? I guess I need better gloves (+DEX would be great) and just powerdive and reach CL40 for Single Combat. I'm pretty good stat wise (found a lot of potions), deal an insane amount of damage in melee and can heal 200+ hps for 3 mana

On 4.6.2018 12:12 PowerWyrm wrote:
Found Band #2, as good as Band #1 but aggravating. Hell let's make this a challenge and play with aggravation on. I replace my now obsolete gloves of FA by some ubercrap randart set of caestus, but at least those give me 20AC and +3 to-dam...

I just need to remember that iFire + rSound don't protect against stunning from plasma hounds... almost croaked when recalling into a corridor with a pack of them and fat fingering a command :/

Reached CL37, which means Clairvoyance and no more devices for mapping. Big heal spell now at 5% fail. I kill Osse in 6 rounds... lol...

Found another pair of +12 randart speed boots. At least this set is consistent...

Qzzqzzlup summons a bunch of uniques that I quickly dispatch... less stuff to deal with during the M fight. And since I'm already aggravating, I put on some gloves of Combat for more damage. Tiring of Mr Q summoning an endless list of uniques, I defeat him in Single Combat mode.

And another absurd randart with shooting speed... at least it's only 0.1 extra shot now. And Band #3, which is better than Band #2 without the aggro...

Ok switching some stuff and taking stairs on sight... no need to stop until Sauron and Morgoth now.

Found a cloak with ESP on the way, but I have nothing to replace my crown with ESP at this point. Used ?DD to 4900ft, which I clear and recall. Now only Sauron and Morgoth remain. l'll bring the supplies, but Single Combat will trivialize the fights.

Sauron goes down one-to-one as well as some of his buddies. A magical staircase appears. Time for Morgoth.

Note: maybe Single Combat is a teenie bit overpowered... maybe :)

Single Combat, Smite Evil, a Lance that does 950 vs all and 1316 against animals (so should be the same vs evil)... and no summons.

The fight goes like this:
- 4 rounds of melee, CCW to remove stun, put on rune (forgot the first time heh)
- 4 rounds of melee, reestablish rune (last scroll, only had 2)
- manabolt from Morgoth, use *Healing* (hell I have 7 of them, I won't risk the 5% fail spell until I have pots left)
- 3 rounds of melee, rune is gone, need to continue without (Morgoth at half health)
- 2 more rounds, health under 600, use !Heal
- 3 more rounds, another !Heal (Morgoth at 2*)
- 2 more rounds, manabolt from Morgoth, use *Heal*
- 2 more rounds (20 total), Morgoth is dead, I briefly look at the drops and save

Ok so after Blackguard... Paladin. And I thought Blackguard was a tad easy lol...

Great! This is why I dont use randarts - because it takes the amount of luck you had with them to make them competitive ;)

Awesome run, I doubt that can be beaten anytime soon (but...I might try anyway).

Half Troll Paladin is certainly my favorite character, for lots of reasons. And I've been doing randarts since it seems like the best chance - you just keep playing a lot of characters until eventually one of them finds items with FA, rPoison, and speed before they are killed. But so far at least I keep running into the problem of occasionally hitting a level, and then wasting 1000+ turns looking for the down stairs. Do that 2 or 3 times, and your turn count is shot. I haven't tried using Single Combat yet; the description certainly makes it seem OP.

I echo Estie's comment about luck being a dominant factor with randarts. Which is partly why I generally advocate for artifactless competitions. Sure, you can still get lucky even without artifacts (e.g. early speed boots), but the damage is at least somewhat limited.

@Bron: "I keep running into the problem of occasionally hitting a level, and then wasting 1000+ turns looking for the down stairs"

That's why I played this char with Forced Descent. If you don't want to waste 1000 turns looking for the down stairs, you just recall and use the one in town. I abused that a lot...

Single Combat is absurd: the game generate a tiny cell with the opponent and you fight one-on-one... which means ABSOLUTELY ZERO SUMMONS. You do that vs Qzzzqzzlup, Maeglin, Morgoth or any other heavy summoner and it's a "win" pushbutton. And you get Smite Evil which means you keep the heaviest hitting weapon (for example Glaive of Pain in the standard set) and get a x2 multiplier vs evil for all your fights. And you can spam Minor Healing to remove any use for resting. Clearly this class needs to be reworked to balance it a tad bit ;)

O_O
That is an epic win, up there with Cliff Stamp's NAP (small levels--essentially the same turncount.) Come to think of it, he used randarts, too, and found a ridiculous extra dice weapon with +9 speed very early. Quite similar to this.
