CiP -> YAVP DrWz of Veh -> TSO / Zin 15 rune
For this char I have good hope: I have decent gear, can get with no problem rF+++ (randart weapon with rF++), rN+++ (TSO) and rC+++ (staff + rings), coupled with decent AC\EV and huge SH (and some 45 int), so I am pretty confident that my defenses are adequate. So far I have the 4 "easy" runes, switched to TSO and cleared Crypt, now my plan is hitting Pandemonium and Tomb, then switching to Zin to get the abyssal rune and max piety, then clear Hell. The reason that I am not going to abyss now is not that it scares me, but I want to make sure to be at full piety with Zin before entering Hell (man that place scared me a lot).
On the downside, no rMut so far, I still have one pot of cMut so if things were to ge really bad I guess I could switch to Zin earlier for the mut wash...
Oh by the way, weapons are for losers I am 100% a pew pew caster so far (is that a stupid idea? So far things have worked out pretty alright), but I have a +7\+9 demon trident in my stash to bless as soon as possible, then I guess my next move is getting polearms to at least hit min delay. Am I missing any obvious strong spell so far?
Also, was that shield 21 an overinvestment? I got to a point in the midgame where I didn't find tornado, had pretty much every other spell needed but was lacking in resistances and general defenses and that shield was sooo tempting...
