Even the best players have like a 10% win ratio at best with the most powerful class (Oozemancer), so don't sweat it. Winning is not the point, just the best possible outcome.

When is this getting a new expansion?
Nicolas (AKA Darkgod), has always had a 'when it's ready' approach to releases. To make matters worse, he has been on a dry spell lately, he seems to be getting around it, though. But yeah, as other users pointed out, it's a mystery.

One nitpick, though, Oozemancer is not the most powerful class. Top 3? Sure. Most resilient class? Definitely. But Paradox Mage and revamped Necro are ahead, Oozemancer lacks offensive power which sometimes leads to stalemates, and stalemates are dangerous in ToME.

Oozemancer has the highest win ratio last time I checked, so that's why I mentioned it as the most powerful class.

Interesting, maybe because it's more straightforward? Oozemancer just needs to be wallowing in slime to succeed, while Paradox Mages need to know about stacking attenuate, resists, and paradox and cooldown management. Necro is similarly complex, with minions and multiple resources. Another factor may be that Necro and PM are both shut down by silence and struggle against antimagic, while Oozemancer has no obvious counters. Fascinating.
