Discovered that there was a Wand of BlastWave lying in the floor of floor 14 right as I was ascending with the amulet… Not that I needed it (got a good armor early on and just upgraded it and… Well, if you’ve ever played SPD with a +13 plate armor you know that hard doesn’t enter on its synonyms list) but still, the best wand in the game just laying around? A gnoll probably dropped it after I killed it without even noticing…
Am I missing a strategy? I’ve always poured my upgrades into weapons with a few assigned to armor to enable access at lower strength. If your armor was boosted this high, what weapon is effective at hitting later enemies for any damage at all?
