Hi,
Couple of things I seem to have forgotten:
Midora-Lherok is an ordinary Rogue that deals her damage chiefly with her (ranged) bow.
She is using magic only to complement her bow damage: lots of Healing, and the occasional CL or FB.
The items I use are the best I have found so far (that's what I think at least). I just recently upgraded to this plate and the Amber Ring with the magic suffix, so actually I'm quite pleased with them. I will keep searching for better items, of course, but the real dream items are hard to get as I don't trade.
I did not cite all my spells, just those I found important. I may very well have flame wave at low levels, I don't remember now.
As to what concerns strategic suggestions: I do use a lot of them, like using narrow terrain to my advantage, hiding behind barrels and venturing carefully etc. I am not exactly a noob, but I might as well learn some more tricks...
My problems occur mainly when I make a step and I wake up several monsters that are especially nasty: spitter demons, lightning demons and those high hp Flayed Ones. Combos of them are also 'nice'. It usually ends up with me having alerted 1-2 Flayed Ones, 2-3 Lightning Demons and 2-3 Spitters. While I'm trying to kill some and then retreat, I sometimes manage to get surrounded (in larger rooms especially, or when the Lightning Demons find an alternative route around semi-long walls), and once 2 or more try to hit me, I can't escape anymore. Mind you, I have nothing against an occasional death or two, this makes the game more fun not less, but lately this happens too often...
Also, I can't confirm the Golem experience. Maybe my slvl is too low, but he's dead in less than 2 seconds even when only encountering 1-2 spitters. I guess this happens also because his HP are somewhat related to my manapool.
I guess I could use more spells to get some crowd control, but I thought I could handle this the way a rogue is supposed to - with her bow. Feel free to convince me here...
Anyways, thanks everyone for their input, the rogue/caves guide was a very good read. I conclude that I'll just have to be more careful and use the terrain for me even more.
Also, please continue to comment on my rogue. I still appreciate suggestions muchly!
Greetings, Fragbait
