I have agaim managed to get to a point where I can possibly ascend (1st time) and I find I have a dilemma as to what to equip.

I have a lvl30 Val who has located the vibrating square and castle portal so ready to do the invocation. But before I went to the castle to get the Book of the Dead, I returned to my stash to empty my bag of everything I didnt need, and was looking through my stash to see if there was anything I should take with me and found I have about 8 AoLS.

This got me thinking about what Ascention kit I need.

Current equip is:
AoR
Speed boots
t shirt
GDSM
GoP
CoP
Elven leather helm

Two weapon Excalibur and silver saber

AC -43

So my dilemma is should I be trying to take all those Amulets of Life saving with me?

To make use of them I would need to remove my AoR, but reflection is important so I would need a different source. I have a silver shield in my stash so could use that which would boost my ac to -50, but would prevent twoweapon, or I could enchant one of the silver dragon scales in my stash to replace the gdsm but then I would need a source of MR which I could swap out my cloak for a cloak of magic resistance, but that would lower my MC to 1 and my AC to -41, and I would need to use the very last wish from my WoW to acquire, as I have not seen one in this game. (I still have a blessed magic lamp for one more wish as well)

Demonbane, frostbrand dragonbane,snickersnee and mjollinr are also in my stash, so not sure if it is worth trying to get Greyswindr

So do I stick with the amulet of reflection, go with the shield or change to the sdsm?

 For what its worth, I figured out why I misidentified the alter. I used far look and saw "aligned".  It didn't occur to me that that wasnt a valid ID. Far look on the astral plain does not identify the alignment. Note to self - use close look next time!!
