So ? Perfected wands do make this reliable.

Regarding capsizing: Water breathing and fly.

Protected AP can just kill nightgaunt. Allowing yourself to be nightganted puts you in a huge risk of dying.

There are multiple ways to prevent gaunting as AP.
a) You can prevent conjurer from nightgaunting you.
b) You can just kill nightgaunt.
c) You can prevent nightgaunt from following you.

But basic thing is always not to get caught by nightgaunt with your pants down. And do not panic once it hits you.

I am currious about this. Can you tell more about your set up?

You can NOT remove unholy blessed weapon with iron grip in effect.
You can remove secondary weapon/shield though (unless it is noremove).
There are auto-recall items too.
