And I just fount robe of the thaumaturgist, Thalkettoth, and a ring of
skill
+14. Whats the best item to wear now? I know the robs is good for mage
types, and that thalkettoth is good for stealth so it's better for rogues
but should I stick with stat sustain till I hit stat gain?
p.s. that wasn't in a vault, just dropped by some young dragon,s just
before
I met a lesser hell beast and had to get out of there quick.
