Advice for melee extended
I have been playing crawl for over a year now. I am by no means an expert thoug, having won only 2 times, with an OP OpTm^Chei (15 runes) and a FoFi^Qazl (3 runes). My only experience of extended was over a year ago with that Octopode who was uber strong attack-wise, but also used lots of magic to easily survive all of extended. My Formicid, was also very strong (tabbed all the way to ZOT5) but a couple of sketchy situations in Abyss (lots of noise, no chance to rest) made me choose to get the orb and run.
This Time I made it till the end of Zot with a MiGl^Zin. I have found the new Singing sword on an early dungeon level and it literally obliterated everything (maybe a lil overpowered but still very much fun, so I wouldn't revert it back). I have just found the Zephyr bow and I have a triple sword of Holy Wrath for the extended.

I am not sure how to approach this as a pure melee char like this. Should i switch to TSO? should I try to make magic castable or is it doable with just my consumables?
All advice on melee extended is very welcome.
