[CIP] MiGl of Gozag, thinking of doing extended and need some advice
Got pretty lucky with the drops, and I thought it might be as good a time as any to give extended a try. So I've got a few questions:
Should I stick with the G-man, or convert to TSO (or even Zin)? If so, at what point?
Is my horrible stealth gonna be a problem in extended? Should I change my equipment
Any general order for getting runes in extended? I'm guessing Slime and Abyss are the next ones, what after that?
I know most people dabble in spells in extended, but for a minotaur in gold dragon armor that seems a bit far fetched, are evocations a good replacement? Can I hang with just melee?

Gozag is a perfectly serviceable god in extended. Though the good gods and makhleb are usually the go-to suspects for easy post end games.
You will probably want some ranged damage. Javelins are a great and easy option that doesn't require you to switch weapons. Evocations is a great skill cause it offers you a ton of abilities (summons, clouds, attacks) from a single skill investment; but there are some things that only magic can do, like repel missiles, apportation etc. so you should still consider learning a few basic spells. 15 levels in translocations to get blink and apportation active is not that bad, even for a minotaur.
Thanks for the advice, I ended up converting to TSO, taking 6 runes, and then got corroded to death on the 26th goddamn floor of a zig. This is far and away the farthest I've ever gotten in a zig, so I can't complain. I have no idea how melee dudes make it through big jelly floors though, I got to -40 in about a minute with rCorr.
