Hi, I want to make the ultimate fighter. But I have a few questions...

Is Armor of Great Health a better tactical choice? Or just regular armor?

I think that lighter weapons mean a greater number of attacks per turn. Is this true? Also, in view of this, is a pheonix feather whip +11 the ultimate weapon or would that be the phoenix feather whip of thievery +11? Or maybe a different material?

Is there a way to wish for a can of ommel snot or change material anything to ommel snot?

Hi there Payo!

1. Typically in the game a very strongly enchanted AoGH will make the spawning of very powerful monsters more probable. However if we are talking about an ultimate fighter, we'd take the latter because if it would be as "low" as +5, it would be a huge boost on the hitpoints.

2. It doesn't mean more attacks per turn. If you want to attack more often (or attack-move-attack etc., generally have more actions), greater agility is the key.

3. I'm no expert on whips, I'll pass this one!

4. Outside of wizard mode, You can't wish for ommel snot/change something's material into it. You should experiment with either getting hurt near-death and recovering (which trains Endurance) or school food - find a way to get lots of it and experiment.

Currently in 0.50, there are some enemies which are rather equipment-dependent than brute force-dependent when it comes to fighting them. What would be a perfect weapon setup still is subject to discussion here at the forums...

I have another question. Is there a tactical advantage to using the belt of levitation? What does levitation actually do combat-wise?

Also, (edit) does being hasted or slowed increase or decrease the number of attacks you can do per turn?

Armour of Great Health:
While it does offer an END boost while you wear it, it gives less armour and has mobility penalty too. Unless it's heavily enchanted, it's generally not worth it.

Weapon weight:
Only has an effect on the AStr required before you can wield it. If you want more attacks per turn, dual-wielding is the key. In light of this, the whip of thievery wins over a plain whip any day.

Belt of Levitation:
Combat-wise it has no function. However, because it renders you immune to active beartraps and mines, you could use that to lure enemies onto traps, so it does have a tactical use.

Haste & Slow:
No. You will move faster/slower and that results in more/less attacks over time, but it has no effect on your number of attacks per turn.

Weapon weight also affects base accuracy of attacks/parries of the weapon. Compare Adamantium and Valpurium two-handed swords.
