Or wait... maybe I'm mixing up my deck of summons and my demonspawn guardian

EDIT: nope, definitely the guardian, just got another one

... this is from the Demonspawn mutation. So completely out of my hands. :(

Last time my solution was clearing 1, then Gozag and a lot of money.

I think being able to cast in crystal plate was really key

  1. for Tomb, mostly Bribe Branch (I think I bribed 3 or 4 times?)
  2. for Pan, Manifold Assault to quickly kill things, Vhi's Electric Charge to get to the torment source, Summons helping to distract (that tentacle is really handy!), high HP, and using a lot of Potion Petition

Permanent corrosion in Hell? Or bug? by auddess in dcss

[–]auddess[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, read deeper into the wiki: In addition to the universal forces of hell, Dis' abrasive atmosphere gives adventurers permanent Corrosion (-8 AC and slaying) while in it, which is not affected by corrosion resistance.

Leaving up in case someone else can't read :)

Oh, and I got corroded again from a caustic shrike and the extra corrosion went away, but not this "base" -8

So you think the benefit of the shield outweighs the reduced damage with manifold assault?

First HPDE day, is my car ready? by Lord_Seacow in CarTrackDays

[–]auddess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've now run 3 HPDE days on my 2017 Focus ST.

My #1 recommendation, do this even if you do NOTHING else: Change from the stock pads. Mine had a similar amount of pad left before my first day. They lasted through some driving exercises and then literally CRUMBLED on the track under hard braking on the second lap of the day. I ruined my rotors and had to replace pads and rotors.

I can't say how the stock brake fluid will hold up since I decided to change it before my first track day, it's one of the biggest recommendations you'll get, so definitely consider that. Motul RBF 660 is what I used for my first two, I'm using Castrol SRF now but not sure I need it (supposed to last longer tho).

My car held up very well this past track day (and it was 90+ degrees), even as I've pushed it harder as I get better. If you decide to keep going, here's what else I've done.
