Just lost my perfect score warrior, AMA (lemmy.world)

This really felt like the run that was going to get a Warrior with all 9 challenges and maximum score to the surface. Had a Ring of Haste from Sewers and a Blazing Spear +2 from Ghost quest, bought Ethereal Chains from the Sewer merchant, transmuted the Wandmaker Wand to Blastwave. Still had the Sewer and Caves Ankhs in case anything goes wrong. Fully mapped all floors, did all quests, sacrificial fires, and animated statues up until this point. And then during the second Dwarf King phase a ghoul steps into an unexpected tile, and I get attacked by the Warlock, ruining the score... Run is still winnable of course, but what is the point.

I have to say, Warrior feels terrible to play at high challenge compared to the others. Faith Is My Armor invalidates the main class mechanic, one entire subclass, and a couple of the shared talents. Wish it would either get reworked or replaced with something that affects the classes more evenly.

Will you continue to try to get a perfect run with warrior or switch to another character?

I don't enjoy playing as warrior in general. His advantages don't feel significant to me.

I think I'll switch to duelist for a breath of fresh air, weapon abilities might open up some other strategy than "pray for haste and a reach weapon".

Warrior definitely is the least interesting to play, but aside from challenges I don't think he is too weak. Being able to upgrade armor early and carry that +1 throughout the game always feels quite impactful.
