Cleared VT Scrooge!
http://prntscr.com/ldrbdhMy build was Paladin of GG, the standard power build. No vetos, and the only really good items I got were Platemail and Soul Orb. Tower Shield would have been ideal, or Cursed Cutlass/Fine Sword would have also been really good, but I got a lot of caster shop items...
I picked Southern Swamp because the free mana burn every level and Jormungandr are both pretty nice for a Paladin. VT made leveling difficult, but I didn't really have to spend any resources on the surface. After that, it was one hell of an endurance run - Cleansings for Tower of Goo and Tormented One, Reflex + Quicksilver for Bleaty. Soul Orb made Medusa and Tomithy rather easy. Inventory management became difficult towards the end, at which point I was forced to convert Platemail and smash EM and TT for a last minute Protection, and buy Keg of Health for the win. One health potion left after Aequitas, who was the last boss.
This run is actually quite difficult. I don't think most builds would have enough power to win this. Maybe a Troll (Binlor > Taurog? > Dracul) might have a chance. I'll try that out.
