Strategy

True to his name, Qazlal Stormbringer brings a lot of firepower to bear to his worshipers, and upon reaching full piety, allows you to easily patch a hole in your resistance, freeing up equipment slots for other gear. Although it may be tempting to wait until the end game to choose your resistance, doing so means you waste this gift for much of the game.

As worshipers of Qazlal will be forever generating significant amounts of noise wherever they go, stealth-based play is effectively impossible for his worshipers. Regardless of play style, expect enemy reinforcements to show up more often than normal; pulling discovered enemies back to already-cleared areas will reduce the odds of wandering monsters showing up mid-battle.
