Although I prefer to use the Huntress, for my first run through the new v2.4.1 I took the Fighter/Gladiator the entire way in a single run.
45 Gold!
Yes, she’s babababa bad, to the bone. My favorite class.
This was a very difficult one to start. No decent armour or weapons until level 11. Starved to death twice (saved by Anch’s). Healing potions didn’t start showing up until later in the game. I did however find 7 potions of Experience! Eventually it all worked out and I was able to ascend with the Rogue. That completes 4 of the 5 classes now.
I have finally did an ascent with the Wizard now. It was a lot more difficult. 2 deaths, and one ascent all the way to the second floor where I starved to death.
That is 3 of 5.
Laughed so hard when my staff, imbued with a wand of Frost, was enchanted with Fire 😜
And the Duelist makes 5.
Why ring of force? Useless with that build
Because throughout the game the only other rings I obtained were a Ring of Wealth and a cursed Ring of Might. I used the Ring of Wealth for a while but decided a few extra points of damage were preferred in the lower levels. I did get a ton of wands though… just what every Fighter wants.
Been there. I swear sometimes the game has a mood
No spare transmutes then? Seems worth a roll if you had any
I did get 2 scrolls. One I used on an artifact, and the other I converted into augmentation stones for my armour and crossbow.
What I find amusing is that I conquored this game in a single run with a class I don’t usually use and I get advice on how I may have done better.
Going to try the Huntress next.
Point here being however that v2.4.1 works.
