Priest endgame hints?

Ok, that's some useful information - I didn't know Morgoth melee could hit above 600 damage. I guess I got lucky in my own win then!

You didn't get lucky. Worrying about >600 damage per round from Morgoth is like fear of flying: Sure, the worst does sometimes happen, but you miss out on a lot if you fixate on it.

Sure, but it actually happened to Sideways.

Is there a good estimate on how likely 600+ damage melee is?

If you don't fight in an anti-summoning corridor, I'm pretty sure it's statistically impossible. The likelihood increases with each obstructed tile adjacent to you, so I guess being surrounded by monsters also increases the risk of being crushed.

Basically, do the standard tactic of fighting in a destructed zone and you should be fine.
