I love taking advantage of that!

"If"
Without cerberus armor (or whatever it is called) it is highly unlikely to live through it ...
Uitë:
Actually, zerk plus a little extra fire resist easily works well enough.

I've noticed that mancubi are able to fire from out of LOS sometimes. I thought this was a bug.
I think I would like the DoomRL mancubus better if it was easier to dodge its fire completely. It's no fun dodging the centre shot just to take a direct hit from one of the peripheral projectiles. Maybe these outer shots could be fired at a larger angle from centre so that they wouldn't ever hit the player directly but would still cause a lot of chaos. Or, maybe the mancubus could fire only two shots at a time so that the player can dodge them all with a left-right-left movement pattern (like in Doom).

I noticed it too ...no idea if it was due to some strange FOV / LOS settings, bigger sight range, or some bug. Or not.

In my experience, if you are five or more squares away from the M and you dodge the center rocket, the outer ones are spread out enough to miss you as well.
