Pakellas
Ok, I played MiAr of Pakellas. Powerful, yes, but not invincible. I had to use wand of paralysis about 8 times to kill Vault Guard on D 10 and I couldn't paralyze Orc Warlord in baily even with Device Surge. I am XL 11 and the only rod is one of lightning so while it allowed to kill a hill giant from safety, it is not safe to use normally. Also I almost died to draconian ghost (54 damage from a single bolt of draining) and I didn't have any tools to fight it. Whenever I tried quick charge wand of iceblast, I always got exactly 1 charge, even with max 14 MP and 6.5 Evo so I don't see how you can spam the wand. And now I am not sure what to do with MP, no wands of acid/HW/hasting/teleportation and I don't need more charges on my available wands. So yes, I still believe Pakellas is fine, not stronger than Trog or Fedhas but definitely more decisions than with Trog.
Edit. Pakellas didn't give me any wands of paralysis, I found both. I imagine the game would be even harder without them.
