Thoughts on runes vs antimagic
- Biggest threat for solipsists comes from large burst damage (1000+ HP in one go). Regen infusions, even with Fungus tree, struggle with this. So shielding runes is an alternative approach.
- The burst damage won't always kill you, but the psi reduction will slow you right down, making you very vulnerable
- Much gear that is great for solipsists is arcane-powered
- Generics are very thinly spread for a solipsist, so anti-magic and fungus tree force reduction in other areas
- I recommend one wild infusion, two shielding runes, 1 regen, and 1 teleport. Teleport is essential for quick escape.
- Once you equip a rune, betraying escorts is not an option. Thus gaining Nature's Touch before equipping a rune is a clever strategy, if possible.
- All that said, plenty of people win roguelike as AM Solipsists.
- In nightmare mode, the shielding runes approach seems to give a big advantage (but this could be disputed)
