Just cleared Naga City as an Elf Transmuter. It's been a good long while since I've run through that place, and I've never done it without using cheese classes (Monk, Pally, Rogue), so this was a pretty big win for me. My strategy was to prep Taurog, then ignore him until I start cleaning up the first floor so as not to hemorrhage piety. Lucked into Good Glenrick and Saint Solitude as my subdungeons (which saved my run IMO), then slowly and painstakingly cleared the top floor. Forgot how hard the place was, but I think I bricked on good glyphs for my strategy. Once I was ready to clean up, I converted to Taurog, bought his armors, then immediately converted to Drac, grabbed his boons, then Concensus'd to convert into Mystera. Potioned my way through the bosses, then converted back to Drac for the last boss. Wound up not needing it, but I had the piety for two Bloodswells by the end.
Not prepping Apothecary was a mistake, as an extra Schadenfreude would have gone a long way. Overall though, run went pretty well, and I definitely respect the power of Transmuters a bit more.
