the dungeon -- a long, long way down
Bubonous:
I've been making my way down into the dungeon. I'm playing a psychic hammer assassin, which is supposed to be powerful, yet it is taking an hour or more per level (not doing full clears). I'm not finding it hard (with this character) as long as I'm careful, just very tedious because the levels are so huge and the monsters plentiful and durable. Any tips to speed it up? Try a different character maybe?
Also, is it worth it to stop at the "Nasty Places" along the way to try to find soulstones? Or should I just head straight for the bottom?
Kano:
Chaos has just changed the drop rates, so you can pretty much empty the entire dungeon... 100 times in a row, and you won't find a single SS or Ueber anymore.
Don't ask me why this change was made.
Bubonous:
That's good to know. The only reason for me to go through all of this now is to kill Ancient Diablo and get The Black Tower Key.
Thanks!

I agree it's a long way down, and Chaos won't put in an elevator.
The Nasty Places are good for finding items. The Ubergotts and SoulStones aren't as pleantiful before, but, they were SO pleantiful before that people were giving them away. The Mod got significantly harder, making ladder-climbing a bigger accomplishment, and soul-stone ownership a significant feat.
Along with Psychic Hammer, you should max out cloak of shadows and mindblast. Mindblast breaks up the wall of enemies into a boiling riot, then you can kill at leisure. Also, that's only 90 points. I build up Death Sentry and synergies as well, allowing me to shower the enemy with magic, physical, lightning, and fire damage.
However, the best thing to use is team-mates. Add one team-mate to your adventure, and the monsters go from "players 13" to "players 14" (which isn't a big change) while you two double in power, which is an enormous change.

Do eat a harty brackfast, pack a large lunch and supper. Put on your iron underwear.
Run fast and hit hard. Bring a lot of telaport scrolls.
