Well, here is another character that had an epic struggle with Duriel. I had planned to take it down to /p3 for that fight, but I forgot to change it! :yikes:
The effect from the 3 Thawing potions Kevin had prepared with wore off about halfway through Duriel´s life. Another bad thing was that I missed recasting Holy Shield for a little while, meaning Kevin took more damage than he could have. All in all, 3 Healing, 2 Light Healing and 7 full rejuves were needed. TWO full rejuves were all the potions he had left after the fight!
Duriel dropped a nice self-repairing Long Sword with some bonus damage and IAS. Kevin will have to level up once before he has the strength to use it.
During act 2, Kevin broke many weapons :tongue:. But I found out a way to take care of that problem. Since almost all his damage comes from Holy Freeze, it matters little how good or bad the weapon is, as long as it´s fast. Meleeing with throwing weapons became his salvation. Balanced Knives for a long time, then he discovered Balanced Axes, which were better because of the longer reach. Found a pack with Balanced Axe of the Bat which he used for several areas. Once that was about to break, he rerolled it with chippies (that would have been left on the ground otherwise) and came up with Balanced Axe of Readiness with 90 in the stack. Excellent! He used those for the major part of the seven tombs, and he will use them until he levels up. (he took on Duriel with a 'Steel' Mace, though).
Along with that Long Sword Duriel gave him, his best finds are:
Russet Small Charm of Blight
Fire Resist +7%
+6 poison damage over 3 seconds
and these really nice boots (a gift from Bloodwitch the Wild):
Blood Track
Heavy Boots
Defense: 5
Fire Resist +10%
Poison Resist +7%
11% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
10% Faster Run/Walk
Repairs 1 durability in 33 seconds
