*capers with glee* First Anorithil to ever get out of the starter dungeon becomes the first Anorithil winner, and even the FIRST WINNER EVER! *dances*
Now, how would people have suggested I go about this better? I had a beast of a time in the final boss fight, and feel like my prodigy choices might've been a bit better. I still had cooldown issues (even with all the crits) that Eye of the Tiger seems a poor choice, in retrospect. It was nice when it let me fire a second moon ray every other turn, rather then every 3, but the randomness of the chosen spell made this an uncommon occurence. Not sure it was the best choice. Draconic body certainly gave me a beefy defence on top of my maxed barrier and healing light, but seems remarkably risky that it popped up.
As for the deaths, I can't dispute 7 of them, but the 6th death (of eight) was due to a ungodly miskey at the wrong time. Replaced an old psychoport with a new one, and when I hit the shortcut to psychoport... it swapped back to the old one, leaving me to get slaughtered in Gorbat pride...
Was an unfortunate event, but nothing that I could really do about it after the fact. Perhaps a chicken prompt for changing equipment when hostile targets are in sight? Wouldn't be a hugely common occurence, and seems like it might save lives in the future.As for the build itself, I was sorta plugging into it as I went, going for survivability and rayguns. Chat advice guided me towards a build that focused on pumping corona, though I'd thought it would end up weak. Pleasantly surprised at the outcome though. Hymn of moonlight was SERIOUSLY underestimated, in damage potential to mana consumed. With a high meter late in the game, I really should've started keeping it on all the time, instead of only in tough crowds.
Final battle gave me a number of issues, and I can't help but feel that the fight would've been more epic fighting beside Linaniil rather then Areyn... For the rest, seemed to have problems aggroing Elandar into attacing me instead of Areyn, resulting in an early loss of half her health... When I DID manage to aggro, He ran to the far side of the room, out of range of anything but my moon ray, and attempts to approach him resulted in knockback, over and over. Ended up having to divide my shots between moon ray's on him and other attacks on Argoniel, to try and protect Areyn. (Dropping the occasional bathe in light when I could, so as to help her healmod a bit... Though it was seldom indeed when I could afford to drop one on her...)
Finally, is there some way I can PERMANENTLY preserve this character after I burn it's last life (blood of life) so that I never accidentally erase it by making a new character using the same name? (Permanently preserving the online dump of my first Winner, ever... Can't lose that!)
And God Bless Darkgod for the remarkable luck, and God Bless the Walking Babylon 5 reference that is the Anorithil!
