Thread: Skull crusher or AoTME?

  1. #1

    Default Skull crusher or AoTME?

    I have a human barb, level 40, just got crowned with Skullcrusher. Ive been using the Axe of the Minotaur emperor for a while now, just completed Earth temple and I have mastery in two handed weapons. So - the question is - should I switch or continue with the Axe?

    There is also a third possibility: keep switching. Use Skullcrusher in areas where the most dangerous monsters are humanoids (D:50 with all the Balors, for example) and the Axe otherwise.
    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.

    Use the axe, I say. It has the best +crit rate in the game.

    You are barely trained with Skullcrusher, right? At this point a switch probably wouldn't make a lot of sense anymore.

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Skullcruser would train itself very quickly. I agree with grobblewobble - switch as needed.

    Ermm.. I've switched weapons in late game many times.. for an example Executor from Casino and so on. Weapon skill trains very fastly from 0 to 6+.. especially against high dl monsters.

    Skullcrusher's base damage is horrible. It's only
    use is against humaniods, and the archmage is
    the only one to worry about. I'd say the AotME
    would even slay Nuurgy more quickly.
