Well, after winning adventure a few days ago, I wanted to give it a try on roguelike - and here we are. It's a first roguelike wyrmic win in Maj'Eyal campaign for the last 6 months, so I'm quite happy with this.
I built the char like a nature berserker basically. Early on main weapons were icy claw, death dance, sand breath and bellowing roar. Later on I got dissolve, prismatic slash, and warshout and that completed the offensive arsenal. I ran with berserker buff and almost never ran ice armor (only run it in grushnak although I should have in gorbat as well).
I stacked healmod and ran fungus the entire game, and I got AM shield going in the 20s. Juggling equilibrium only became a problem when I got prismatic slash (it's quite expensive for an AM wyrmic). Boosting swallow late in the game solved a lot of those problems as it can shave off a big chunk of your equilibrium.
For stats, I built str and wil, and then went into cun, only putting points in con quite late. With a high life rating race and class, I didn't see con as that important, and you can get thick skin levels of con from items.
Prodigies were spell feedback (because it turns casters' brains into cheese) and superpower (because I wanted to test it). Mindpower wasn't very useful for my build - except for aura of silence which I forgot to use often - but the damage increase from willpower is quite decent. I didn't get the items to stack crazy amounts of willpower late in the game, so I probably didn't make the most out of that prodigy.
I had 2 close calls. Gorbat smashed me into a wall and left me with negative health, which I survived thanks to Garkul set. I was overconfident and didn't run icy skin for that fight (and my gear still sucked at that point), and that was nearly the end of this run. The second one was a stair boss - a paladin/shadowblade naga psyren. Combined with some archer rare it got me to about 200 or so hp. I found a blood of life in the charred scar so the second instance wasn't as scary.
Questions and comments are, as always, welcome.
