Just got to floor 21 with this strategy: Human wanderer - resistance to elements is your main issue as these will do the most damage to you. Keep stores of your +fire and +ice resist items - once you get your resistance over 100 ice charges will do 0 damage to you, and those nasty guys with the two axes and fire arc will hit you for 0 damage. My character got to level 46 with this strategy then I got bored and let myself get killed! ++++ this !
