LA Agartha Advice Wanted

[MaxWilson]

I would take the breastplate (or boots of stone) normally, but as you say Tomb Oracles can cast Ironskin. Umbrals are ethereal and still take plenty of damage from regular troops, but a naked Wraith Lord is Prot 22 with Ethereal, which is basically what you'd get from a Robe of Shadows-equipped Tomb Oracle; with Soul Vortex a naked Wraith Lord is essentially immune to most normal units in any quantity. Edit: Don't forget that a Marble Breastplate increases encumbrance and a Robe of Shadows doesn't. [I had a bug once where a Wraith Lord wearing Boots of Stone took huge amounts of fatigue from spellcasting. Don't know if it happens with the Marble Breastplate but it's still +8 spellcasting encumbrance or something.]

So yeah, Robe of Shadows. Of course a Ring of Regen would be nice given their high HP base, and of course a Pendant of Luck. Reinvigoration can be gotten from Summon Earthpower instead of items; perhaps Boots of Quickness, Horror Helmet, and Golden Shield would make a nice combination given the death magic on the oracle and the high parry of the shield. For swords I'm partial to Woundflame if you can get it, and a Shadow Brand if you can't for the area-effect AN damage; but perhaps there's another sword that leverages the oracle's high strength better. I think there's a sword that does area-effect AP or AN damage.
