Help me to choose species/class combination.
I played mostly by DEFE, DEIE or DECj of Vehumet (before 0.12) and I have one 3-rune win (or 4 - don't remember). I also tried WzMu of Sif Muna a bit, because I love this idea of getting free mana, but I took the ultimate resolution: I definitely hate constant Summoning because of it's boredom.
I was a bit bored playing a pure spellcaster as well, so I tried a MiFi. I wasn't very successful with him, but I got some idea how it works. Now I'm trying to carry on with MiFi, but I'm not sure that I like it, mostly because I prefer to cast spells occasionally and, moreover, I really love guides how to play by a particular species/class combination (or at least some clear examples). I tried to study games of top-players, but the logs are not very clear and it's no easy to find such games.
Conclusion: I'd like to try something new to win, but I can't decide what exactly. Probably I want to play a spellcaster again, but it should be something tougher than DE and wield a melee weapon. It could be High Elf for example, or something suitable for this purpose. Or it would be a warrior, but he should be able to cast spells at least in the late game. I sincerely appreciate any advice and much more any links to guides or game logs (or ttyrecs).
P.S. By the way, I don't like Berserkers. I've never tried them, but I feel I wouldn't like it.
P.S.S. I definitely saw a really nice guide about playing an Ogre (or Troll?) here, but I cannot find it again.
