The casino didn't have anything interesting, apart from some lightning ball books. I'm now clearing a greater vault of giants on the level below which has produced a phase dagger, so I can remove that from the list. I'm surprised that it isn't as effective as my sword of sharpness against the giants.
I didn't realise that a wish would only give 2 potions of strength, that's disappointing. Leaning towards acid ball spellbooks, but I guess I might as well wait until I run out of castings first...
Unless the monster has colossal PV (or is undead/daemon, due to the particular way that phase daggers calculate damage), phase dagger damage is quite pitiful.
Acid ball is always a good choice for casters, especially if you have no intention of going to the library. No harm in saving the wish for a bit, I suppose, if you already have castings of acid and now lightning ball.
Picking up on a point from the above post, if you've found nothing better to do with the wish by the time you reach D:50, you could wish for potions of boost willpower. With 3-4 blessed potions, your Wi should be approaching 99, at least for a little while, so you can use your lightning/acid ball spells to nuke a third of the map at a time. They wear out pretty quick, so make use of Farsight/Teleport to position yourself.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
