DsBe^Trog --> Jiyva Viable?
I am not an expert player but I have been playing for a couple of years now and have a handful of wins under my belt, most of them 15 runes and most of them either melee or Tm^Chei.
I have yet to complete more than one ziggurat (I completed one once with an uber tanky spell-less DDFi^Makhleb), and that has been my goal as of late.
Since I came across this post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/dcss/comments/ ... _thus_far/ I have been toying with Berserkers, aiming at dropping Trog for Jiyva for stat reshuffling and then switching to Gozag for optimal Zigrun.
Here is the dump of my most recent DsBe which is going pretty well so far (one of the luckiest runs I have had in a long time. Ds with PbD and Robust and I found Orange Crystal Plate mail and "Finisher" in D6 or 7...).

Has anyone any experience with this god swap shennenigan ? How reliable is Jiyva stat reshuffle?
MNy idea would be to stay with Trog until Zot:4 then switch to Jiyva, start pumping spell casting and necro and learn first Necromutation, or maybe Ignition, while keeping the Orange Crystal plate on and going for the extended game. Would this help Jiyva reshuffle my stats into INT but maintaning my STR high enough for managing the OCP encumbrance rate?
Any advice is welcome
