Patience is what this game is about and keep focused, each encounter needs to be analysed before a decision is made. Unfortunately I usually make that decision after I have tried hacking it apart 
Yeah, my play sessions usually go like so:
ATTAAAACK! You died. Damn, I should remember not to do that again.
ATTAAAACK! You died. I should remember not to do that either.
ATTAAAACK! You died. Oh, wait.... I wasn't supposed to do that.
This is me on pretty much every roguelike I've ever played. I get going good and get too cocky. Then something shows me how weak I really am.
