I’m following the H’s Minotaur Fighter guide, and was looking for advice. I accidently tossed 17 points into shapeshifting before realizing this isn’t a repo troll. Should I still use the granite talisman? Also, any other tips?
You’re wasting about 18 skill levels either way. Transmutations or Armour. Seems likely you’re better of in the plate armour, but it can depend per encounter. And there are good reasons to want vampire or death form if you find those talismans, but that’s another significant xp investment.
Also I’d expect you could get something better than +7 plate armour at this stage of the game? Any enchantable schadow dragon scales? gold dragon scales?
I’ve found some shadow dragon scales but I only have a couple enchant armour scrolls. I’m kind of waiting to find some GDS before switching.
I quite like SDS myself. It lacks the brute strength of GDS, but enemies stop finding you as easily (provided you also train a little stealth). If you have good offence but lacking regen, like you do with Oka, I think it can be a good choice. But you’ve got almost 4ph/turn, so that’s plenty.
Update: Went for 5 runes and got some bad mutations. Any advice to clear them? I have no mut pots.

With these muts, you do need to be more careful. Clear Zot fully, chug those haste, might and invis before you get injured, and keep the option to retreat open.
But you’re still strong enough to win
