I’ve played this Demonspawn Brigand of Wu Jian, who got icy blue scales 3, powered by death 3, powered by pain 3, black mark, bedevilling, aura of silence, weakness stinger 3.
Currently using a rapier of distortion, which I found around D:11 at xl 12 or so. Has been a good weapon. Not sure how it would compare to a quickblade or a double blade (both of which I’ve found).
Early game was rather hard. But fun. Had to scrape by using curare and similar tricks.
On U:3 I met oblivion hounds. I made a tactical mistake of not immediately pressing Discord, and got massively punished for it. There’s now a bunch of fiends on U:2 that can torment me and are hex immune, and I sank a lot of experience into getting Discord castable. It’s impossible to get just 1 of them alone despite my massive stealth. I had to burn multiple ?tele. Feels bad.
I also didn’t realise when I was training up my hexes so much that Enfeeble inflicts nerfs that I can already inflict, weakness and weakened magic.
Due to Powered By Death, I think this character should be able to do a zig. I’m now realising Wu Jian quickblade has been nerfed into the ground, with the slay bonus capped at 15, and very fast attacks no longer raising the slaying bonus faster. I expect I can get better dps with a double sword. But my rapier of distortion has been a wonderful comrade. Choices choices, and I don’t know what’s best
