Greatly saddened by recent deaths of very promising characters, one my fault, and one extremely unlucky, I decided to try something I've never tried before. Not sure this is a good combo or not, but Rob, I hope to be giving Holy Word an honest shot this go around!
(CL14:DL10)
Pretty decent start stat-wise. That and a Force dagger have really helped the early going. But I am saddened to see that my evil alignment is negatively impacting my spell fail rates! Perhaps this character will spend a fair amount of time in Zul undergoing the ritual of balance?

Isn't the race/class combo a little redundant? I mean, they both get intrinsic ESP...

No redundancy ... High Mages do not get ESP (Perhaps you are thinking of Mindcrafters?) Well anyway, take 1 of this character died to stupidity. Wormtongue went down quickly and I missed the fact that he cast create traps ... Got an Armageddon trap or something that froze me and death was instantaneous. Here is take 2
(CL22:DL15)
Things are going good so far. Holy Orb is a nice spell, but the price is still quite high, even for a High Mage (12sp at the moment at Skilled). I'll try to be more careful this time and at least make CL30 ...

Slow going as expected. And, Dave, no Staves of Speed! I hope you are finally happy ;-P
Holy Orb does 100hp to evil monsters for 8sp thanks to my wizardstaff. Of course there is Star Dust for the rest, until Judgement Thunder comes down a bit (33% fail for 140 pts of lightning damage). Actually, this class has more damage output than I anticipated, but still much less than a Chaos HMage. I'm more worried about the end game than right now ... Is Wrath of the God enough? What would a Crusade High Mage take down the Serpent with? The Destroyer? Well, I'll attempt to cross that bridge much much later ...

(CL30:DL32)
Aahhh... sweet Telepathy at last. Gotta love that CL30 racial power :-)
Actually, this character has been quite enjoyable so far. Holy Orb is my staple damage, but Star Dust is never far behind for those non-evil foes. And if I really need it, this wand of Disintegration is just plain awesome! 230hp per shot! Wow!
Do I have a plan from this point on?? Of course not! I just need to hold my depth until something comes along to make me more powerful, as is typical for a mage character. But telepathy should make my stay at these depths oh so much more enjoyable.

I wasn't planning on ever melee'ing ... honestly I wasn't. But with Silver Chariot and Cambeleg, perhaps I'll be able to handle orcs and such. Also, just bought a +3 Con ring so I finally have some respectable Hp (for a mage, that is!) Now if I could just get a decent Amulet??

Excellent at fighting? No way!
Crown of Might +2 ... nice.
Levitation with RBlindness ... ok.
Ring of Slaying .. ok.
Now what? I'm still too weak to proceed any deeper. I've found many random artifacts, but all have been extremely whimpy. I guess I'm just waiting for some more good stuff ...

Oh, and it took 11+ hours to finally get staves of speed. Definitely the longest wait ever ;-)
And I've only seen 2 Amulets of Intelligence, but Wisdom, I've probably seen 15 or so (+6 as the highest ... sigh).

(CL34:Anti-Melee DL40)
Well, sometimes Thinker is not all that bright ;-) It finally dawned on the tentacled one that the Anti-Melee cave might be a better strategy than clearing 500-1000 levels at DL35 in Angband. The jump in monster power between DL35 and DL40 is significant, as is the XP increase. Plus, with stairs in the wilderness, he can carefully pick is foes, and avoid nastiness like Malekith and Yib, and even Jasra. Also, a couple 3rd books have shown up, even though I think they are DL50 items ...

Took 5 minutes in the lair to net Exorcism and Dispelling, courtesy of Smaug. Right now, Storm Wyrms and Ice Wyrms are right on the edge of my power to handle ... Requires good setup as I need a long straight corridor in order to pelt them with the 20 or so Holy Orbs required for death. At +10 hasted speed, its not so easy.
Could I do the Cloning Pits now? Probably, but I'll wait a bit more just to be safe. Perhaps CL40 ...

(CL38:Cloning Pits Completed)
As is so often the case, the Cloning Pits represents a turning point in the power arc of my characters. Thinker stepped in at +0 base speed, a fairly formidable player. Formidable enough to handle the quest with ease (*Love* that Starburst for the Dungeon Cleaners and Fire Ants) And out he steps at +9 speed! Wow! I really need decent armour of resistance, something with Nether perhaps. But this config allows the Wizardstaff, and I now have the following offensive spell options:
[1] 0% fail Holy Orb for 8sp - 135 damage to Evil.
[2] 0% fail Judgement Thunder for 22sp - 190 damage (Lightning)
[3] 0% fail Starburst for 29sp - 176 damage (Light)
Holy Word still has a 30% fail, so that is not a first option at the moment. There is also Dispel evil, but there seems be such variability in damage output when the damage is d152. Sometimes orcs survive the spell :-P
Well, back to the Lair to see if I notice a difference ;-)

Key points:
0% Armageddon. So blindness resistance is again a priority, and I gladly give up some Hp for Thranduil.
6% Eye for an Eye. I always wanted to try this one out. Is it powerful? Sounds like it!
16% Wrath of the God. Need to practice using this one to see if the awesome damage promise can actually be realized. The balls seem to scatter widely, so maybe this is just a crowd control spell. We'll see ...
Now I just need to relax and go up some levels :-)

Actually it's not like the stardust spell and the effective area is too wide to attack a single monster.
The final attack spells of the Crusade realm are 'an eye for an eye' and 'divine intervention', both of which are far more powerful than you can imagine from the spoiler, though the latter one is very costly and too difficult for paladins and warriror-mages, I suppose.
But no effective spell against unique A's is in this realm, so maybe you have to use the wrath of god spell sometimes.

Bummer on Wrath of God. Sounds like Holy Word is a better spell for handling a room. Oh well, I plan on making HEAVY use of Eye for an Eye once I get it--that's a spell better suited to the paladin/warrior-mage than the high-mage, I imagine. Crusade sounds freakish, but I don't expect to handle the upkeep on pets very well. As I've been playing my paladin I've been thinking about how a Mage/High-Mage would fare with Crusade. You'll have to post a good story or two about how you use your Army of Holy Might.

Must ... level ... carefully :-)
Got Divine Intervention last level and worked it up to master. I'm still mostly killing with Holy Orb, but I must say that if a monster manages to get next to me, they are in for a big surprise! 21% fail is a bit high (heading to 0% baby!) but the cost is a mere 59. Not bad, and I love the suspend monsters effect (400hp of damage ain't too shabby either). Holy Word is also starting to get a workout with a hefty 13% fail rate. Like I said, a few more careful levels to get the fail rates down and I should be ready for deeper challenges.

Have you noticed some kind of damage cap on Eye for an Eye? It seems to run out for me long before the 10+d10 turns when I'm getting hammered, and it's not Dispel Magic. The spell just seems to cut off early. I'm finding it less useful than expected.

The Aura's damage just adds to your already impressive output!
I hate spell fail rates ... even at 21% I went 1 for 5 against a life draining Dracolich. Annoying. But the annoyance should be temporary :-)

If you got hit by whatever attacks the spell wears off very quickly. Reduces 5 turns for each set of attacks, probably?

DI is borderline broken. Do you realize what I can do to a group of monsters that take 400 damage and then freeze in place for a while? I let summoners bring in their reinforcements just so I can feel like I'm being efficient with the number of monsters I execute whlie they are paralyzed. Without it, I'd never have cleared Eric's Stronghold.
Eye for an Eye works nicely against something like a Bloodthirster--a high damage output monster that can take a while to kill even with Vorpal. EE really speeds the process along. And you're right, if the spell didn't wear off quickly, it would be insane. I could kill Destroyer with that spell and a ton of healing (still might do it that way, actually).

I have been trying to give Crusade more of a shot as a meat-shield generator; you know, to have just a little more time to get into my ASC or whatever.

I know, I know ... another post at CL45. But after seeing Brand a couple dozen times, I decided to kill him and risk the Blood Curse. The reward was worth it, but left me without Chaos resistance. To cover that, my Int went down to 18/203, which added 6% failure to my favorite spell. Unacceptable!
So off to the Old Castle, which was fairly easy. Greater Titans? A joke when DI is used! Iron Lich? Nothing. Only somewhat tricky moment was when a Death Knight summoned Judge Fire who summoned Kuoko, who is not evil and has 3,000hp. Teleported and took down the horse with Eye for an Eye and Starburst.
But Indra means I can keep my Int maxed and go with Sacred Knights, allowing me to cover all resistances with a pretty good base speed (+24). I just wish I had more Hp, as a double move from many things will just kill me ...

OK, here is my first Crusade story. And it only concerns Wahha-Man, not the big boy Destroyer. But Wahha is wanted, so I figured I better kill him.
Wahha is good, hits as hard as the Destroyer in melee, tunnels thru walls, but that is all. No ranged attacks. So I Crusaded and drew a couple Knight Templars and a bunch of Ultra Elites. Dismissed all but the 10 most powerful pets and sent them to pound on Wahha. Me, I just sat in a corner invoking Starbursts (all my summons resist light, and did not seem to mind) and eating charges from my rods of cold balls the whole time. Eventually, a Planetar pet teleported Wahha away, but I knew he would return. More of the same upon is re-emergence and the "little g" went down without ever dealing any damage to myself.
Now would this work on the "big g"? Perhaps if it does not resist light. I'll give it a shot, and this strategy will prevent the need for reflection, as any mana bolts will hit my summons ... The alternative is Eye for an Eye and *lots* of healing. I wonder if the Eye will return damage on a reflected mana bolt?

I think I can take him, but we'll see. Oh, I did monster research on the Destroyer and he does not resist light (Starburst) or shards (you are using Crimson). So be sure to use both. But he has a heck of a lot of hp. Bring your staves of healing too, all 6 of them.
You might be able to kill the Destroyer with Eye for an Eye and melee if you really wanted to, the return strike on EE will be large, and 24 charges on your staves of healing might be enough. If you get really low on hp, teleport him away to heal. He'll find his way back to you soon enough!

Lets just say that a Crusade High Mage is extremely powerful. I forgot all about Eye for an Eye in the final battle, and the battle was still quick and easy. 750hp of damage from DI was unbelievably powerful. And the 100hp healing meant I could go toe to toe for just that much longer. If Cyberdemons were summoned, I laughed knowing they would be held in suspended animation while I battled the giant J.
No *Healing* required. No Life required. Maybe 5 or 6 restore mana, but you know what, I could have just brought my 30 rods with me and done just fine. All in all, a very easy battle. I didn't even Crusade!
I think I'll dash to the bottom of hell just for the fun of it ...

*Retired*
Made it to the bottom of hell, but much destruction was used. Heck, once the serpent is dead, my motivation for playing rapidly wanes, so I dove rather quickly.
So here is my retirement! And man, this character was fun! I was pretty lucky getting Wrath of God early like I did ... not sure how I would have done if I had to wait til DL95 to get a copy! But the power of Crusade reigns supreme, and today, the Serpent has died twice to the forces of justice!

Way to go! I too wonder what would have happened without WoG early--I found that for a big part of the game I was relying on my fighting power waiting for WoG to drop. Of course you'd be better off than I was with your sp, cost, and fail rates, but it still would have been a tough trek, I think. But very well done indeed!

Congratulations!!
After my paladin, i tried HM crusade, i LOVE stardust... and at 4 mana(if i remember well) it is a pretty cool early/ mid spell...
The spell from WoG that makes disintegration rain... is it useful? i didnt experiment with it a lot... but once i couldnt kill a forest troll with the spell targeted on it... :)

I agree: Star Dust is very useful early on. But Holy Orb is probably even more so. In fact, the orb can carry you quite a ways in the game. I was killing Hell Wyrms and Venom Wyrms with nothing but Holy Orb when Wrath of God showed up.
As far as the disintegration spell, "Wrath of the God", I did not use if offensively that much. Oh I did manage to destroy the corpse of a wanted monster with the damn spell ... You are right, the dispersal pattern of the disintegration balls is too wide to be useful, unless you enjoy fighting monsters in a crowd which I definitely do not ;-)
I'd say that Holy Orb and late game Holy Word are your best bets until the 4th book shows up. There is always Starburst and Judgment Thunder for good/neutral monsters ...
