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?
Random weapons I find do the job. And the strat you're missing is this one: you are pretty much inmortal with one of these, except if they hit you with magical attacks, which then becomes your whole objective, to minimize magical attacks
Just speculating, but maybe a gnoll shaman dropped it when you killed him without noticing ("you hear something die in a distance" in chat).
Yes, a shaman dropped it, thats certain, but it couldn't be while I was ascending, it must've been while descending; as monsters while ascending drop no loot. The chat log of an enemy dying isn't related, as that happened while ascending. I must've missed it while descending.
Oh, I actually didn't know that enemies don't drop loot when you are ascending... I ascended only a few times.
