First nightmare win, second win in all.

He died once, by trying to use stone touch on a wall instead of stonewalk. A very stupid thing to do.
And then I died trying to take on Atamethon.

Dual shields is so much fun!

The stone halves are so ridiculously strong. I went 5/1/3/1 early and they carried me through most of the west.
I got 5/5/5/1 in that tree as soon as I had 5/1/1/3 in Eldritch shield.
I went 1/2/1/0 in earthen power early, and didn't start levelling eldritch shield until I was 1/2/1/1 in that tree.
I maxed the first racial skill as soon as possible. The damage reduction from this + Stone Fortress is just too good not to invest in it.
Didn't touch Earth, other than 1 point in the first skill until level 43.

I got alchemy with the first cat point. And Eldritch shield with the second. 2/1/3/3 in this tree makes the master a joke.
I had no problems running a regen and two wild infusions until level 36, as gem portal and stonewalk were decent enough escape (except that one time.)

First prodigy was irresistible sun. And the second was crafty hands. I got a couple of nice artifact gems, or I probably would have taken temporal form, instead.

Fights usually consisted of Resilience of the Dwarves > Stone Spikes > Irresistable Sun > Stone Halves > Dwarven Unity + Shield spells.
This killed most things quickly. And if it didn't, I was tanky enough to wait for the cooldowns.
