As far as zig farming goes, the Usk VsFi seems to fall off a bit. Grand Finale is great in normal and through post, where the heavy hitters are mostly solo, but it's not so great against swarming death.

I'm thinking Qazlal for the constant passive damage and cloud immunity (does it work against the 'evil' clouds?), Vehumet for spamming the high powered AoEs, or maybe even Kiku so the freakin' Tomb floors aren't an exercise in frustration.

Also: Zig+12 and I haven't been able to upgrade my +5 shield of reflection yet, that I've been packing since like D:4 (unenchanted).And the best non-art ring of slaying I've generated is a -1.

Well, decided I'd get cute and take Tomb as my fifth rune, since I was still on TSO after getting my blessed quickblade:

5/15 runes: decaying, slimy, silver, golden, gossamer

Will update once I'm done with this guy. Also y'all are wrong about Acquirement, it's boring and I keep having to take the food because it throws garbage at me.

edit: Holy pan strong contender for most despised entity in existence right now:
 F - the +7 large shield of Benevolence {rF++ rN+++ Dex-4 Slay-6}

edit: Ok, 15 runes. For this character I went Oka (to test gifts - posted my thoughts on this earlier) - TSO (to bless a Quickblade, and do Tomb right after) - Zin (to see how my boy Zin doing).

Spoiler - I started with a single pip of rN+, so my boy Zin didn't do too well overall. On top of that, I feel even with 27 Invocations Recite is just not powerful enough to consistently kill Fiends and Tzitzimitls. All you're left with is random pillars of salt where imps used to be, and a bunch of glowing Fiends tormenting your leafy ass.

I did get a Large Shield of rN+ in Pan, bringing me to rN++, which is acceptable if nor remarkable. If that shield was Slaying +6 rather than -6 it would be much more cash money but alas.

All in all: as previously said, this build doesn't actually work with other gods, so this was a weaker run than if I'd just stayed Usk all game. Time to swap gods and do a Zig!

So I've never actually taken a 'real'* spellcaster as far as even Zot before; what would you recommend for supplementary spellcasting in Zigs with the VsFi? Firestorm isn't bad, but it seems kind of lacking. Discord doesn't seem to have enough spellpower to take out the guys that really matter, though it's handy for about 2/3rds of them. Death Channel's nifty, but it suffers from the same problem of 'kind of weak'. And same for Dragon's Call. Yeah, I'm complaining that L9 spells are too weak. =D

Aura of Abjuration's okay, I think.

*I'm ignoring Troll:Earth/Trans and Octo:Venom/Trans.

Edit: Oh. I should give Ignition a shot. I totally misunderstood how that spell worked.

I don't really like playing spellcasters in Crawl, mostly because extended relies on endless enemy spawns and casters need to watch their mana. In general I think Tornado still remains the king of value spells for hybrids; Glaciate and Firestorm at high spell power are always decent, Ignition is suprisingly good as you've also found out.

The best Zig riders I've ever made were Statueform unarmed/Tornado/Firestorm dudes. I tend to start with unarmed monks/transmuters^Chei, move into statueform ASAP, then sort of ease up into actual spellcasting by Extended. Statueform offers pretty great defensive value regardless of whether you're punching people, and statuepunching is a wonderful mid/late game strategy in and of itself.

Theoretically, a Demonspawn will be the most OP endgame character ever. I'm not sure how Ds mutations can overlap, but Powered by Death/Augmentation/Torment Immunity/Mana Regen/Decreased LoS will be the absolute monster, not sure you can get this specific set though.

I do have several seeds that guarantee PbD 3/Mana Regen tree, if anyone wants I can spoiler the seeds; be warned though, playing a hella OP Zig raider does tend to burn you out of crawl for a while.

You don't have Tor immunity, just resistance.
I agree with powered by death, though.
I would add health +30% for a perfect endgame beast, though.

is decreased LOS still a thing? i thought they got rid of that.

i actually cleared a few zigs with a melee demonspawn with decreased los, because, yeah, it's that good.

Best you can do (i had this once) : Decreased LoS + Darkness spell + robe of the night.
With this you have only 2 LoS. I had this + claws mutation. Absolutely perfect. On the other hand, you are sometimes a bit "lost" because you don't see anything.

Yeah, decreased Line of Sight is hella good. Stealth Tornados are now

I've been mostly playing Legends of Runeterra lately, and I still need to check out Sunless Skies, but I think I'm going to try a full-on caster this weekend; haven't played one in ages. Presumably Fire Elementalist, see how it goes.

Playing a DsVM.  Got the staff of battle on like D:2, demonic guardian, and picked Makhleb.  I don't even have to play the game, I got too many shooters behind me.  On lair, starting to get a little tough, relying more and more on Makh.  Found a book of power though, and dipping into magma bolt, maybe iron shot.

Last time, we only had 3 players. I will be joining the tourney, as always.

I am not particularly good at DCSS, but I will start a team as well.
Open for anyone who wants to join.

I'm mostly meh about it. The last tourney I played wasn't particularly enjoyable, and very few of the changes since have made me go "Waow it's Crawl time babay".

Fun found, removed

I used to look forward to these tourneys but the increasingly insular development crew just seems to hate the people who play their game at this point.
