Running Sorc trial. Plan is:

Upgrade Apprentice to 2
Potion
Drink Potion
Bless
Attack until Bless is up Bless Attack until one more attack would kill me (has been 2 attacks left on bless, around 26 hp)
Sell cat
While: Potion {
Unequip armor
Blind
Bless
Reequip armor
Attack x 6
} (18 attacks x 3 attack/round = 48. I might be able to squeeze another 1 damage out of the armor, but if I dodge the attack, I lose 2 damage instead, so it seems not worth the slight risk)
Upgrade BM x 2, Wix x 2, FM x 2
Alternate Fireball and Meteor Shower or my last bless
Sorcerer has 9 health remaining.

Now, you may be asking yourself, why didn't he elemental Whirlpool in there. The answer to that is: I didn't get a single one. I S/Led and tried again and the exact same thing happened. I'm mid S/L 30, but I know that S/L 30 doesn't change the rolls on all things, so I might just have to reset.
Now, theoretically, not getting a single elemental Whirlpool in I think 15 damaging spells is around a... 0.3% chance. Not impossible odds, of course. It's bound to happen to some of the people playing this game. I just wanted to share this tale while I was killing time waiting for my S/L 30. Alternatively, if anyone has any ideas on how to squeeze out an extra 9 damage without elemental Whirlpool, I'm all ears. My fireball hits for, I wanna say 132 with 1 damage burn ticks, and my meteor shower is 6 hits at 46 a piece with those titles. I'm unsure what my power is, because I don't think I ever looked at it.
