Hi everyone,
Currently on my best character ever in any version of tome or angband.
http://te4.org/characters/1471/tome/e84 ... 1cc000edf0
The multiple lives does make a huge difference. My deaths:
1 - Hit the hotkey for jupgate as opposed to teleport to jumpgate
2,3,4 - Boss of the elven ruins, until I figured out I needed to get him in a long corridor and shadow blast.
5,6 - Orc ambush, man I hate those
Anyway, I am assuming that this will max out at level 50 like the old tome. Right?
So I don't hve many skillpoints left, so wondering what you guys would recomend. Have 5 class points saved up, 1 category, and 1 or 2 generic.
My standard operating procedure is shadow blast everything. This is a fantastic spell, duration is one turn less than cooldown. So I find a corner for the "hockey stick" and just shadow blast away. Anyone who gets around the corner (bosses) cops beams/stun/surge. Has been remarkably effective since the maze onwards.
So looking throug the skills there's not much left in the class area I reall want.
For generic I like the sound of the Hymn which blasts things, but don't like the sound of the negative energy drain.
I think the category point is going into another healing or shielding rune.
So what tips do you have? Anthing else about my character I should look at changing/fixing.
Thanks

Re: Last few skillpoints
I'd boost Sun Flare some more (for the radius, not for the piddly light damage). Maybe Corona -- I'm still not sure how well that does in the endgame.
The problem with switching to the fourth Hymn is that you have to turn off the Hymn of Preservation. That's a much, much larger price than the negative energy drain.

Corona is pretty awesome at high level. 7 or 8 hits all doing 100 damage. It is possible to line enemies to cause all hits to hit one enemy. I can tell you that a 800 hit from twilight surge plus another 800 damage while shadowblast as in effect really kills end game enemies.

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely up Corona. Been using wands of illumination instead of sun flare, so I'll think about that.
