Either way I'm unstoppable by level 15.
I abuse the barrel exploit and completely clean out Duskmoon Tower of the items without the Moonbeam Gems. Getting good gear that early makes the rest of the game trivial. Can even enter Hard Mode at that point to REALLY get the danger going...and double Ring of Perseverance makes getting Discipline an absolute joke.
