Formicids are fun. Qazlal is also fun. Look at those sexy resistances.

After losing a similar character at 9 runes to Cerebov, I really wanted my first 15 rune win to be with this combo. I got the Sword of Jihad from the Slime Pits and killed everything with it. Since Formicids can't Berserk it has no drawback and is basically the best weapon possible. I really like Stasis as a conduct, I really like digging holes, I just really like Formicids. The Sword of Jihad was also the first weapon I ever won with, so it felt really good to get 15 runes with it.

Digging holes is really strong. The ability to restrict line of sight to a single square is about the most powerful thing a melee character can have. Of course, sometimes there just isn't rock to dig into and then you're just a guy with Stasis and a big shield. Qazlal really helps in those places.
Almost died in slime trying to stairdance with like, six acid blobs with no rCorr. Don't do that.
For fun I went to Abyss:4. Don't do that under Qazlal either.
Got 5 Runes before doing Vaults:5. It was still pretty dangerous. I think it's just always going to be rough for this particular combo. You can't teleport and Vault Wardens are gonna lock the stairs up while everything in all four quadrants just crashes into the center. It's scary.
After six runes, with rF+++, I still almost died to a lone orb of fire. Meleeing one just always has the chance to go bad.
Lamps of Fire are incredibly strong with Elemental Force.
Song of Slaying is pretty great with just standing around and making all kinds of noise. Especially in Zot and beyond, there are so many packs. It's a really good spell.
Pan was way harder than Hell. I wish I did Hell first. Getting Yellow Glowed and Rotted isn't any fun, but Hell effects can only do so much when you're making infinite noise and the quality of monsters appear just doesn't stack up.
After winning some three rune games it really stunned me just how much exp there is to spare. I put in 15 conjurations for Iron Shot for a situation that never came up. Didn't matter at all. Leveled Necro to 27 to cast Revivification once against Antaeus. It got to a point where I really didn't know what else I wanted.

This was really fun. I'll probably be disappointed when I do extended with some other god and it's not nearly as frantic.
