This just keeps happening and it's loving awful and dumb. item-ruining properties spawn on randarts WAY too often and I'm mad and salty about it.

I think it's cool actually. It means they're interesting tradeoffs more often, rC- is something to build around.

Situationally also freezing might be more useful against enemies it can slow, but outside of that context it's not as good.

The upside of taking loving forever in the postgame is that you can tab through Tiamat without realizing.

So we've got that unique kill this time I guess!

I should stay here. This is a good place for me.

It went ok but the naga could easily have killed me. There was two little rooms with a robe and chainmail at the end, I took the chainmail which dumped the robe into lava.

He does, but the chance is based on piety. If you're using any abilities but recite, chances are you're not at max. So that 0.001% chance can gently caress you over.

Way better than the 10% failure chance of an amulet though!

"a spectral quick blades"

pleasingfungus it is cool that this spell makes a spectral weapon that also hits twice

but it would be rad as gently caress if you changed it so it straight up made two separate spectral weapons

Doesn't spectral weapon damage hurt you instead? So a AoE hellfire would outright kill you with two spectral weapons in it.

It only does a little bit of damage to you. (spectral weapon is loving nuts)

Turns out that with Gyre and Gimble, plus spectral weapon, plus haste, you can do 20 attacks every single 1.0 aut. Which is a enough to like, tab your way through hell sentinels and pan lords on the orb run.

Just gaining XP. There was a time where potions of restore abilities did, but no more.

How did you get so much drain? Do you have any rN+? I often throw on amulets of warding just for that.

Is the Abyss really easier than the other possible tracks, like Slime Pits? I ask because I think I went there once by accident and it scares me.

Also is there a better way to deal with inventory space than just dumping extra stuff on a floor somewhere?

Usually. You want a source of regen and preferably rMut, though. I think slime pits can be the easiest with certain builds but often abyss is easier than slime/vaults, because TRJ/V5 are scarier than anything usually in it.

There are sometimes stairs going downwards to deeper abyss floors that spawn enemies faster and change more rapidly. You can only find the rune on abyss 3 or deeper(you usually do not want to go deeper).

Just walk away from enemies if you can, dealing with everything that pops out of everywhere is a big hassle and you can get worn down.

Snorg doesn't have rPois if I remember right so you can probably confuse him with mephitic cloud and stab him to death. He's dangerous if it doesn't take immediately, but I think airstike is really really scary for a tengu because of the low HP even if you're not flying.

Beogh should have a fourth power where one of your followers gives their life to heal the others. I say this partially because I think it would lead to interesting situations, but more importantly because I loving hate having a couple useless priests/wizards bumbling around with my orc knight death squad and if I could kill them at will it would solve 90% of my problems with the god

beogh's already flavored as evil anyways
