Gedonia 1 survival mode, strength build ep3

This time I'm going for top tier equipment and fighting high level enemies. Some of the bosses are easier to beat than the non-boss enemies littered around the quadrant.

I'm putting to use a classic strategy for pure warriors in Gedonia: stand on top of an enemy's head and swing your weapon downward. Oddly enough, being a mage or bard would still be faster and easier than using this exploit. Is there a term for that? When one playstyle in a game takes advantage of an exploit to cheat, but is still far weaker and less efficient than simply using a different playstyle? Is this still considered cheating at that point? I still had to move around a bit to prevent falling off or how some enemies could still attack me while up there.

Why are there so few non-mage epic equipment items as loot from anything? The bosses that are easier to kill mostly drop stuff for mages. Warriors can use at most two pieces of the crusher set and fill the rest of your armor slots with spellsword items. Not a single epic armor piece for archers. One epic armor piece and one epic weapon for dagger rogue, but those builds need two of those daggers.
