My Failed DC Attempt Story (first meeting)
I learn many things from my 1st DC experience last night. The one that stands out most is that it was a complete failure.
I popped into a game last night and before I could make it to the pits the SOJ counter popped up. Not wanting to have DC spawn with a boss back in the pits, I decided to just clear the area in Outer Cloister and leave my paladin just hanging out casting a spell over and over to insure the game would stay active.
While waiting for DC I jumped on my second computer and started playing one of my other guys. After about 30-40 minutes of check computer 1 I get the message I’ve never seen before first hand “Diablo walks the Earthâ€. I’m instantly nervous and excited, I go to town real quick and put on my non MF gear and head out to act 5 thinking Eldritch just in case I can’t get him I can lead to Shenk.
Before I get there however a Necro joins my game….Lesson 1 has just been learned…...MAKE PASSWORD GAME. He asks where DC is and I tell him I haven’t spawn yet that I just got the message and I’m getting equipment on. His reply was that I was lying and that he’ll check, well as it turns out Rasalfig (don’t know how to spell his name, the guy that guards Stony to Tristram) was right next to the Stony WP and the Necro spawns him.
I head off to help after the Necro says “srry, can you help†figure first time DC is in my game I’m at least going to try him 50/50 I get the charm.
As it turns out DC is just a bit 2 powerful to handle by my self, the Necro kept leaving to make skeletons that lasted about 30 seconds. This left me to do DC mostly buy myself, no problem I have PMH, CB, OW, plus Creasant Moon phase blade (I love this weapon on my Shockadin buy the way) I also had Raven ring for cold……lesson 2 was learned….Diablo uses a Cold slap in the face in Chaos, but DC didn’t use the Cold Slap once. He instead used a lot of Lightning, child’s play when wearing upgraded Blackhorns and when you’re a Shockadin. He also used a lot of fire…..lesson 3 was learned……put on Nokzan Relic Ammy or Dwarf Star ring.
Well, we (I) ended up getting DC down to a sliver after 35 minutes or so then a LVL 92 Sorc joins and hostiles me, then a LVL 90 Barb joins and Hostiles me and parties with the Sorc, then I come to the forums and cry for help (sorry about that) then a LVL 94 Paladin joins and Hostiles me and parties with the Sorc and barb. Not 2 minutes later they find us kill me, kill the Necro and tell us to leave……Lesson 1 really learned……MAKE A PASSWORD GAME…..as it turns out they invite me after I WINE like a little girl, that I was in the game for 2 hours, that it was my first time and my game that they should at least give me a chance at the charm.
Well to make a long story short (to late) the sorc get the charm says this isn’t as good as my other 4 but still something to trade with, the Barb and Paladin say they that the ones they have are better also after the Sorc gives it’s stats. So in the end the Sorc, Barb, and Pali were working together and have a collection of Charms and I still have none.

Here are some suggestions for each lesson learned (if you don't mind)
