That's awesome. I think I had three Human Valkeries ascended before I had success with another combination. Your orc wizard must've been so hungry in the early game!
My orc did get hungry a few times, but on a lighter side the range of available food is larger than the other races. Kobolds? Poison resist! Tripe? Nom nom nom. That dead pet? Waste not, want not. Goblin? What's up with cannibalism, meat is meat!
