CiP: Hopeful Ogre Wizard and its newbie controller LF advice

Alright, so I'm pretty sure this is the character of mine that got the furthest so far. Possibly with the exception of one Centaur Hunter, which died to a hydra. I'd rather not lose him carelessly in the near future so I'm looking for some advice, mostly regarding how I could improve this character.

The character is plowing through a lot of opposition so far but my defenses seem a bit meager to me. I sacced the Armour skill to Ru, should I pump Dodging and perhaps raise Dx to compensate? Would also like to know if you all think I made a good decision by saccing the Armour skill, I figured that since ogres are poor at training it anyways and I tend to wear light armor because of my spellcasting needs, I'd have received marginal utility from it at any rate.

My damage output seems pretty good to me so far at least. My idea was to start off as a spellcaster with melee support and then transition to a melee fighter with spell support, which seems to be working so far. I mostly use summoned Ice Beasts for some additional meatshields and damage dealers.

Sadly I haven't managed to find poison resistance so far, which sucks because I'd like it for the Snake Pits and other locations. I'll probably return to exploring the Dungeon, but where do you think I should go after that? Am I powerful enough to take on the Elven Halls? Or maybe the Slime Pits?

Re: CiP: Hopeful Ogre Wizard and its newbie controller LF ad

Traditionally, the safest path is: Dungeon to Lair, Lair (all), Orc (all), Dungeon to 15, Sbranchs: Swamp > Spider > Snake > Shoals (easiest to hardest, only get 2).Vaults 1-4. Depths (all), Vaults 5, Zot.

Unmentioned is Elf (optional), often before or after Vaults 1-4, and crypt (optional), which is before or after Vaults 5.

Slime and abyss are common choices for third rune among veterans, but this path is the most straightforward for new players. They are both very dangerous and will get you killed until you figure out their tricks.
