Destroyer of worlds weapon slots

[Meglobob]

Just read Edi's WAD post.

Apparently its possible, I believe that a destroyer of worlds pretender can have the 4 hand slots equipped with magic items and still keep the plague bow and lightning weapon as well.

Can anyone tell me what to equip and where, what order to put it in, please?

Assume I can build any magic item upto lvl 6 constuction.

Also anyone's thoughts on the best equipment to equip a destroyer of worlds pretender would be cool.

Thanks in advance.

What magic paths does he have?

as long as you don't give him any ranged weapons he'll keep the lightning and the bow. if you give him only ranged weapons he'll keep the non-ranged weapons.

He did have 4A & 4D but has died once so its 3 in each now.

This is not correct, I equipped a rat tail and all 4 natural weapons vanished.

hmm, well as long as the last slot is a shield, I think they stay. I know twin spear+fire brand+unquenched sword+charcoal shield results in still having your ranged weapons.

Excellent, this is exactly what I wanted. So the key is to make the last slot a shield? Can you have 2 shields btw and would you after go weapon+shield+weapon+shield, thus having the effects from 2 weapons, 2 shields, plus still keeping your plague bow and lightning attacks?

yeah, as long as you end with a shield

That'd be the test I was talking about in the WAD post and that I hadn't done. Thanks for confirming it.

Well if you cant have artifacts how about:
Shadow Brand, Fire Brand/Frost Brand(which resistances will help you/which AoE will damage enemies), Faithful, Charcoal Shield, Horror Helm, Hydra Skin Armour, Boots of quickness, Amulet of resilence?

Or you could just go less defensive with:
Shadow Brand, Fire Brand, Frost Brand, Faithful, Horror Helm, Jade Armour, Winged Shoes, Amulet of Resilence(6 AoE attacks per turn split between 2 squares )

Or for hunting enemy SCs: 4xDuskdagger, Spirit Helm, Jade Armour, Flying Shoes, Elixer of Life/Ring of the warrior(only if the enemy has exceptional defence). 8 Attacks with 2+strength AN unresistable damage+a lightning bolt from your helm probably means any single enemy you face should die(even if they go first, fly up and kill you the elixer will bring you back and most SCs cant paralyze you). That build lacks the ability to take on armies due to its lack of survivability.
