Abyss in Trunk
With the walls constantly changing and Tele no longer generating a new map, it becomes extremely difficult to find a quiet corner to rest up in or to escape threats. On a melee character, it's not so bad. But on a spellcaster, the Abyss kills because there's no time to regenerate mana.
This isn't a YASD but I'm going to post up a recent morgue file for help. This powerful MuFE had 50 mana, two /TP and one /HW when he got banished, but didn't escape alive for lack of mana. And there's no way to rest up for it.

Had I gone with Sif, this would be a CIP, but I didn't go with Sif. Still, there must be some trick for staying alive in the trunk Abyss. Had this been an 0.9 game, I would surely have escaped.
