Forum:First ascension without genocide
Finally, I ascended a wizard, and as usual tried to push back wishing and genocide as much as possible.
Every time before, I run into mindflayers and it was either the end of my vow of the end of me.
Except this last time, where I already had finger of death, magic mapping and identify. So now I see how to do it with wizards, but there must be alternative strategies for other classes
Anyway, that was cool... --Bose (talk) 23:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Do lots of Elbereth -- mindflayers aren't really a worry -- until you or they go blind or you are stunned or confused or don't have a reliable way of engraving in one turn or aiming for non-E conduct Wikid (talk) 02:46, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Ah! I never thought about that, too scared too engrave... I must have been traumatized by mind flayers when I was a kid. --Bose (talk) 13:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
