The ultimate powerhouse is an archmage: a wizard who can bookcast wish without limits.
The book is guaranteed to be found in the library for a wizard. Casting wish will drain a random stat by 10. To become a true archmage you need to increase your mana / HP until you can still bookcast the spell (without killing yourself) when all your stats are lowered to 1. I do not know the finer points of reaching this state, but I saw someone do it with the mana orb. He used the orb to increase his mana pool and wished for chaos removal to survive that. To reach critical mass, he started on silvernight and he had all the bookcasting talents.
The most essential stuff to wish for are crazy supplies of ball spells, willpower 99 to make them fill the whole screen, and enough speed to outblitz a quickling queen. And amulets of life saving (wear one at all times) in case you somehow manage to get killed (unlikely as it is).
Other classes can do the same, but it's harder. For one thing, spellbooks of wish are insanely rare and can't be wished for. Only wizards can easily obtain one. Nonetheless, I did witness an archfarmer on the server.
Race matters very little for archmages, but I guess that being a mist elf would add that little extra epic to it.

You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.
