we have a cdda thread so dcss thread boys, discuss the best builds like HoMo and KoKk and shit

call me a pleb but only really started playing this game when shezza recommended it to me while i was discussing nethack

>shezza-recommended
Can't even play this shit now.

I used to love nemlex worshipping elven transmuters, but then they removed nemlex. Air elementalists were semi-OP for a while but memphetic cloud was awesome. I almost always play casters.

I haven’t got past floor 8 but I’ll never not play enchanter or hunter eat my ass minotaur berserker, this is bound to work eeeveeentuuaaaaaalllyyyyyy
Or ice elementalist, ice magic fucking rocks.

i love naga fighters of cheibriados, and have seen great success with unarmed naga monks of any worship really. they just need a bit of luck and skill to get off the ground.

edit: still no orb yet (((

I'd prolly recommend some of the forks like x-crawl[1] and hellcrawl as opposed to mainline DCSS, which has been pretty shitty for several years.

good run so far

oof

The most important victory you can get in DCSS is installing it and playing ADOM instead. Cheers OP

I haven't played DCSS in ages, but there was one character that I found really funny, it was a mage-assassin combination using I believe hex, and what I did was stab 1-2 guys, and animate their weapons. You'd think, these would only be good for a little distraction, but what actually happened is that these weapons turned out to be really fucking buff and strong and they went to fucking town with killing, which fed into my abilities even more because it allowed me to animate even more weapons. Clearing the orc mines was never more fun, a complete slaughter. Aaahhhh....

I have been meaning to try an Orc Jesus run.
