after level 82 or so I finally said to heck with it and cleaned out the hive and won the game. It became so easy it was getting ridiculous 
I started a new TCC game, this time in the Warrior mode. Up to now I have never played (or playtested) TCC in anything but Adventurer.
I really don;t see much difference in the two modes other than there are about twice as many monsters in each mob and mobs in places where there were none in Adventurer. There doesn;t seem to be any change in monster HP or strength, however.
I cleaned out Elysia and Sutter's Bay (including both dungeons) at level 1 and can train to level 8 as of now. Getting ready to move on to Ka'tan.
