YASD: Palentonga Axiator ^ Uska, Uska slime pits are not fun
I've gone round the dungeon (rolling-)charging at anything in sight, with tab and p, and I've only had to retreat a few times because my health got below 50%. Twice I've had to teleport, once I've used a scroll of fog, and I had to dip into my supply of nets to deal with the minotaur.
Usually I find Uska a bit frustrating, because he encourages me to stay in the fight too long, but it hasn't been a problem so far.
Hydra's have been a bit of a nuisance, but nothing too bad. I'm really liking the new rechargeable evokables.

If I may ask some advice:
1. is there a way to set it up so you use your quivered item if you can, and use auto-attack otherwise? I think it's almost always preferable to be rolling back and forth between enemies, rather than getting stuck in melee.
2. would you think a battleaxe of distortion would be more fun, or an executioners axe of flaming (I can rebrand if that'd be a good idea)?
I can see a lot of benefit to the distortion axe, and it's a combo I don't think I'll have again anytime soon (Palentonga + axe + distortion, and uska would make it extra fun), but I imagine it'll be slightly weaker and losing items to distortion still feels bad.
