Noodles, the Dark Elven Paladin

[pblack]

Noodles was freakin lucky. 4 Surges of power in this game, precrowned with purifier and protector, crowned with justifier. The only thing missing was a humanoid slayer, and skullcrusher was the 4th surge of power.
Also, helm of leadership came along nicely as the second surge of power.

Serpent's bite was also generated but never seen.

He started his carrer in the puppy cave where an altar on PC:5 gave him his precrowns and crowning.

Morgia patch on UD: 1 made this dark elf's happiness.

The only source of corruption removal in this game was the scroll from HMV and the unicorn afterwards. Seven league boots made corruption less of an issue, the game ended at day 62.

- First wish from DF was RDSC.
- RoDS generated in the fire chamber. 7LB's came there.
- Permainvisibility aquired while going for the second wish.
- I considered going C-, finishing as a repentant fallen champion but i didn't want to give up the good +12 DV against chaotics.
- First paladin I play seriously. I ... liked it... but the artifacts made him an overpowered monster =P
- Kherab was killed in the way up from D: 50. He was still tough!
- D: 50 cleared of all chaos beings this time. It is very satisfying =P
- DV of 150 in coward at the end (don't know if it already takes into account the +12 againnt chaotics)
- Nearly no ranged attacks were used. not even spells, really. Just a few Magic Missiles in the mana temple and D: 50 + Lordly Might.
- All bosses melee'd. Nurrag was the most problematic as always, but he kept draining my appearance so it was really a pushover.

EDITL forgot to mention. SoFS on D: 8 generated a doppleganger KING. I got scared of it and locked it in a room after seeing it kill waldy w/o getting injured =P

And...that's it. I might hold off on early crowning next time 'cause i'd like an OCG next and extra corruption kinda sucks.

And... el flg:

[DumbleDoor]

...Good job? Or good luck? On my current orcish barbarian with 31str, he found SLBs and Scorched spear! Also, it seems to me that corruption is problematic on D:50. Am I doing something wrong, because on my first wizard win I used a wand of destruction but still got about 5 corruptions on D:50.

...Good job? Or good luck? On my current orcish barbarian with 31str, he found SLBs and Scorched spear! Also, it seems to me that corruption is problematic on D:50. Am I doing something wrong, because on my first wizard win I used a wand of destruction but still got about 5 corruptions on D:50.

Paladins are overall overpowered imo. It's hard to die with one once you get past the Tower.

If you are L+ it generally poses no trouble. Even while clearing it i got only 2 corruptions, and lvl 50 (30% less corruption class power) was only attained after the levers were closed so it didn't play any part on that.

But a wizard has way lower DV than a L+ paladin against chaotics, so you might have gotten corruption hitted a lot more than I did.

All my wins so far have been using only 1 SoCR (and generally just to remove a nasty corruption, meaning, i wouldn't have turned into a WMoPC if I had not used it). The most corrupting part of the game is the final dive and if you do it "dive" style you are probably OK.

If you think corruption is bad on D:50 you should see in the ChAoS plane =P. Next up for me is gonna be a fighter, Dark Knight Style OCG, all chaotic and weilding the minotaur emperor's axe. Last one I tried had AoLS generated on waldy's shop but i was dumb and got the animated forest all mad at me...

[Sadface]

It generally depends on how you play your wizard. If you go into melee
or cast with enemies pounding your face, you'll get more corruptions.
With high effectivity magic missile, generally you rock the casbah all
the way to victory, and (ab?)using the bounce effect on missile makes
it even faster; so you get less hits taken, plus less corruption added to
you by being so deep in the CoC.

My necromancer came out with I believe 7 or 8 corruptions before being
cleansed; the wizard only had 1.
