That's a lot of dead specialists. Do you have a lot of those or are they just particularly fragile? I'd be interested to see which classes have the best survivability.
ReplyDeleteThe unfortunate fact is that these metrics were fucked up a bit during the infamous "Vagina Dungeon" aka the Slaughtergrid where the dead would immediately respawn with mutations.
DeleteTom, our least careful player, died over and over in there. You will see Eleyn mentioned several times in the listing above! He also favours Specialists... which really rigs the death count in his favour!
Same with the Ratman death count, poor old Ratt LeBlanc died several times over in childbirth in that very same dungeon.
There are some other metrics in this sheet that you might find interesting, though I don't update it religiously!
