I think you are doing comparable damage to the char I posted with a
similar
subject, and you have more healing, so it should be feasible.

That's an easy yes. The bonuses from high str mean that dropping to
18/200
str might already be worse than losing 3 dam.

I wouldn't worry about Gabriel, but Vecna is a big deal, and often has a
useful drop, but usually requires some !heal to beat. I really hate it
when
he shows up with multiple reavers.
I had a win that was touch and go with

You have much better speed and better to-hit and more hp, so you should be
ok.
