Decent equipment. I've got crushed by various dopplegangers many times. You have my sympathy. :)

How did you get your stats so high at only level 20? i've had high 30's characters and their stats arent even that high.

Mixed tension rooms/vaults often have dangerous monsters.


How did you get your stats so high at only level 20? i've had high 30's characters and their stats arent even that high.

I guess that herbs + some potions of gain stats.

Just curious, how you got 11 companions killed with a mindcrafter?

Dougy
04-06-2008, 09:05 PM
Morgia root and potions of exchange => most stats can be around 25. It took a long time, haha! I'm already up to move 157098. Pe went up with carrot rooms, but got "exchanged back" so to speak. I wanted to be very careful with this char, so I took my time building him up. Perhaps he was _too_ powerful in that I thought no monster could defeat him!

My char had the music skill, which I tried to train too. Hence 11 companions killed. (: Although probably about 5 of them were cats.

How he gets music skill? Human have it or it's Mindcrafters? Ha yes Mindcrafters I remind it now, Mindcrafters, Priests and Bards, plus Drakelings. It's weird that the Mad Minstrel doesn't teach this skill and sell some musical instrument. :D

but DK on 13 CoC is kinda scary O.o

Elone

DK on D13 doesnt sound so scary. Even better - it means that they would be generated with a lower level. This was not an excuse to put your guard down. About your stats, they hugely look like they were trained by Garth - all stats are high except Mana and Appearance, which he cant train. I'm mostly amused by your weapon skills. How can one get such high weapon skills without killing thousands of monsters? But then, you'd be much higher than level 20, right? Looking at your artefact list, I assume that you didnt go beyond Khelavaster. I also assume that you didnt drink from pools - you dont have the common pool intrisics, other than Teleport Control, but that could have been gotten elsewhere, and I guess that it indeed was gotten elsewhere. Oh, and I just noticed. 28PV! How could someone from D13 cut thru your 233hp which were protected by 28PV without you getting even a single turn during which you could have escaped?

Good points elone!!!!

i'd also like to point out as a mindcrafter of that level confusion does basically nothing to you, that 115 speed you have would have gotten you away from him, and doppleganger kings really aint all that tough, really the only dopplegangers that ever give me any problems are plain old ordinary dopplegangers at low levels other than that I laugh at them.

Not in Coward tactic? Only one divine intervention as a messiah of Onn? Didn't you give up to easily?

I had a goddamned Doppleganger King in the Big Room once.

And I even SURVIVED that arsehole.

The character went on to win the game and get killed in the Rift while having some fun before leaving the chain.

Guess what killed him.

Elone
04-16-2008, 11:44 AM
True, Ars. Thank you for reminding me. Anyway, final line - this character should have not died. So how did it happen??

Rofl @ Silfir.

How did you even manage to die with a mindcrafter? They're the best class for handling dopplegangers.

That was a DOPPELGANGER *KING*. Have you EVER heard of those? They are your PC's copies - they have the same speed, stats and melee damage, except higher because they get generated in deep dungeon levels and thus get extra boost for being high level.:eek: The regular DPs are easy and safe.


115 speed you have would have gotten you away from him

No you would have not. Except if you had seven league boots.

I know dp kings, they're annoying with a meele character but a mindcrafter can go coward, put up mental shield, confuse him (or are they immune to that?) and spam telekinetic blast (with those stats it would deal ((26 / 5) + 20) * 2 = 50.4 damage on averange so 5 hits would be enough. Unless he was killed on the same turn he opened the door or sth :P

Nezur

I guess he would have done just that if he had payed more attention. Overconfidence is one of the potentially fatal dangers in ADoM. :)

Laukku

Looks like it killed him in one turn. He didn't have enough time to use aby PP.

Grey

With DV at 48 I presume he was on Very Aggressive tactics. Meaning he tried to melee the doppelganger king. Without even confusing it first (yes, they can be confused quite easily). Of course this is the place for "stupid deaths"...
