GodBlessed, a twinked 1.14D->D2R Singer journey

This green thingy...well...

The journey
After a twinked start in 1.14D as a Double Swing Mace master then using a forwarded Ravenclaw for his normal run, he switched to War Cry and started in D2R his Singer journey in Nightmare, at clvl 48 (lvlreq 47 for planned switching gear, and a last p8 Baal run in D2R as a first test). Hell had been started clvl 75, fully geared.

Hell journey was kinda easy...Howl as a last resort, Gloom's Dim Vision is really efficient, CB + Battle Cry vs act bosses and Izual, a lot of running through due to RFL coming soon at that time. But well, he will get his levels sooner or later during D2R sessions!

However, it is a very slow journey, and can't imagine how long it would be on higher psettings in Hell...very specialised build vs bosses & champs when the merc does the damage, but well...that's great for career, but for journey, well... At least it's safe!

General act bosses strategy
Vs normal bosses, Crushing blow has been put in use, with a combo Strength (Mephisto) + Honor (Diablo), when Baal had been defeated and ran using a Ribcracker, with one point in Concentrate on main, and a Strength + Black flails combo on switch when mana was burnt.
Vs Nightmare+ bosses, the Ribcracker with one point in Concentrate was used, counting on Battle Cry for lowering defense.

Patriarch!

Inventory
Inventory was filled to complete resistances and boost mana (6x 57+ mana GCs) due to heavy consumption, even with Insight on the merc!

After hitting 70, he had access to a 20/19/8 Annihilus, and then grabbed his 20/19 torch at clvl 75. In fact, those two items required a holder... hence the name!

Other infos
Forges were Sol/Fal (yay...).
Baal first kills were clvl 41/69/80.
Psettings were p8/p1-p3 questing p8 leveling/p1.

Best finds
  • A 264ed Ribcracker while running Pindle, that changed the plans vs bosses going for the one point Concentrate route.

Career plan
He should become a D2R LK runner for the time being, if not a Travincal runner as a Whirler/for optimized leveling.

As a Singer, he should get back when specific gear have been found/traded, to run the Pits and the new D2R areas.
