To start this off, yes, STR builds are near-nonexistent in the Inn format since, if I may quote a previous statement I used to assist a previous returning player: quote:
players need to unleash as much damage as possible through big crits (200 INT) or DoTs (200 DEX)
Your level and class isn't much of an issue, although Zeclem isn't really much of a problem in and of itself (you'll encounter MP crisis than anything, unless you're a techno and into that thing). Endgame battles have always oftentimes had high HP and damage combinations, while more modern Inn fights weakening defensive plays (shields and blinds) due to high Bonus. While it is possible to win without following the standard issue Inn build (at lvl 90: 200 INT or DEX, 200 END, 45 WIS), it can be riskier. To cite such a case, I used my default stat config of 130 STR, 130 INT, 100 WIS, 85 END against your Zeclem using techno. I could win, but my lower HP means I'm on the ropes faster than the norm. That build alone also served me well in AARGH as a Pirate when I was farming for the Engineer's wings and Uragiri, most of the time not dropping near or below 50% HP. While I can understand roleplaying is a part of the gaming community, endgame fights do encourage one to master various classes.
Finally, equipment. There's a reason why we can link our AE games accounts to our AE forums account (in this case, DF). It allows us more veteran players to see how much work you need to get up to par, although most Inn battles don't need highly specific gear to win. Those that do oftentimes are due to requiring specific elemental resistances over All resist due to crazy damage output (e.g. Egomaniacs, Ice and Dragons). Since we have to deal with Inn fights on a case by case basis, please post on the Battle Strategy Thread. If you can't wait for a response there, @AstralCodex and @Korriban Gaming's YT pages have comprehensive vids to deal with Inn battles. @Astral's is most often friendlier to starters and provides a stat+equipment config list on his vid's comments, while @Korriban's works under the assumption that you already know which gear and stat combis are necessary, and oftentimes he only focuses on the duo, trio, or quartet of a board's column (unless its the f2p edition of his vids, where the solos are showcased.).
