CIP - HE Conjurer - Now what? {YASD drowned}
I have a decent High Elf Conjurer going. Just finished Lair and picked up some nice artifacts on 12 after kill an ice statue. I have some good skills\spells.
This is usually the point where I try something the ends up killing me. What should I do to develop this characher so he is ready to survive going after runes?
I have books in my stash with spells like Iron Shot, Poison Arrow, and Venom Bolt. One with Tornado that is currently useless and High Level book I haven't id yet.
I just started to use the trident to raise my fighting by attacking weaker monsters.
Normally, I would go for the Hive or Mines next. I figure I can deal with those as long as I am careful. But they don't usually provide much in the way of artifacts to help fill out my resitances.

I forgot to turn it back on. I can combine train it with the trident. So that should work out if I don't get killed in the meantime.
