ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

My first character to decide to finish High Peak before going to fight Atamathon ended up very well.

I went for a Staff + shield paladin with the intent of Vengeance procs + eye of the tiger to get off constant instant sun rays. I then tried out the Radiance tree and quickly started to change my build to incorporate Judgements huge room clear. Went for Irresistible Sun + Crafty Hands.

It ended with me having around 1.8k health, 900 damage reflection shields with renewal on hit, and most resistances hovering around 50-60%. I could even stand in melee against Atamathon for 10 or so turns before popping a TP rune to get cooldowns back up. I don't think I ever even had Second Life activate.

Wouldn't have needed Second Life anyways with how broken Suncloak seems. It reduced the cooldowns on every single spell, runes and racials included, allowing me to just throw out everything with no regard. inb4 nerf

Suncloak + Timeless is crazy mcbonkerspants, yeah. Normally the 6 turn duration would mean most of the cast speed benefit is eaten up by the turn it takes to cast it, and you could probably only get one round of attacks off before it expires, but Timeless just kicks it into overdrive.
