Yeah, Elf Paladin of Binlor is the way to go. Prep Bacemace and shamelessly use it plus PISORF to gt 50-60 MR at first level. Use Stone Skin because it uses less walls, and don't worry about wasting the the actual stoneskin effect. There aren't any physical monsters you want to fight anyway. Even if you use half the map to reach high MR, it's worth it. The elf gives you enough burst power to get started on harder monsters, and the MR lets you finish the job. Take Stone Fist once your MR is capped. From there you can either convert the Bacemace or keep it for massive knockback. With the walls all Binlor-ed down, it is easy to set up monsters however you want. I made sure to position Indomitable next to a Golem-8, totally demolishing its hit points. I picked it off once I had resources to spare, and then pushed Indomitable towards a Warlock-9 and did it again.
Prep Dragonshield if you have it or Elven Boots if you don't (I used the boots and it worked fine). Compression seal is probably better than translocation because of the Bearmace, PISORF, HALPMEH, and Elven Boots. If you're still having trouble and have a lot of gold, just prep extra altar and scum for Binlor. On average it will take about 8 tries to get Binlor near your starting location, and less if you are willing to explore a bit.
