Guardian Skunkeneggar
Six down, one to go. Skunkeneggar the Singing Barbarian defeated the Hell Ancients and Baal this evening to become my sixth Guardian, and my first in 1.11. I also used the RWM for this one, my first Guardian that wasn't "vanilla." Skunkeneggar's merc used an Insight polearm, which was a big convenience, though mana burn bosses were still problematic. Other than that, Skunkeneggar's gear was a mixture of terrific and junk (see below).
The Ancients were an easy fight, strangely enough. I had to reroll once, due to mana burn in my first group… but the second batch was reasonable, and they were smushed much more quickly than I expected.
Level three of the Keep was scary, with physical immune witches and also OK’s running around. I did lots of leaping, and finally got down to the Throne. The Throne had witches (cold immune, much better), vampires and gloams, all of whom were quickly dispatched. The Minions also went down easy… until Lister, who spawned physical immune, stone skin, and extra strong. I finally had to go to town and buy a weapon with some elemental damage, and after a long, dreadfully boring battle, he finally went down.
Baal himself was also a long battle. He kept calling in his twin brother. But after a long while, he died, dropping a super 1336 Rogue’s Bow. Clearly, he deserved it.
So now, just a Druid is left, and I’ll have one of each. I have two Druids in hell right now, one mauler bear, and one windy… we’ll see what happens
