Just running the Mausoleum and a few others for Rares and Exp, but something VERY unexpected happened while saving Cain's ***. It's a bit disappointing actually. This is why.

I'm also searching for a Shael (Countess) for a Shael+Eth shield (Rhyme I think[?])

And this pretty much sums up my fight with NM Big D. Evil D, but fun, (and slow...)

Anyway, levelled to 68, and I have to say for me, Blizzballers are not as fun as pure Blizzsorc's in Hell. Not sure why, but I think I'd prefer one strong spell and teleporting past half of them.

Edit: In that 2nd pic, don't look closely at my items/stats/belt. :flip:

I have so far done 100% full clears of act 2. I just finished the final false tomb and will stop for tonight. Tomorrow will see me facing duriel.

Doing full clears is so dam fun. In thoes random places that no one goes into like the stony tomb or the ancient tunnel, is really fun to run around and kill everything in there. All thoes random places have a unique chest which is sweet. And because i am doing full clears i have vsed every single Super Unique which is good and some have given me some really nice drops.

With Coronillia i have had no problems at all. Ever since i got the viper amulet i switched mercs from a Fire Rogue to an act 2 difiance merc who is using a nice savage polearm. I am trying to gamble some circlets but i am getting squat. I have gambled about 10 circlets so far and all are worthless. Not even one rare.... what a waste of money :sad2: .

Ok, so I'm fairly slow at feeling my way around a forum but since I just decided to have a go at a tourney, I thought I'd try this one. Even though I'm late, I do play quite a lot. :azn:

I've read through the rules and it all seems reasonable enough to have a go at. I love playing untwinked and I love clearing out *everything* while levelling. 😁

I do have RWM but I promise not to use it (or the runewords)!! So I'll add me now, and start tonight... unless anyone objects. :wink3:

@morathi whaha lvl 28 and in the Canyon of the magi.
Definetly not my play style :azn: , but its nice to hear you have so much fun killing every monster ^^

I made some progress too, lvl 70 now. just did the den of evil. I'm did 3 baalruns so far.. with 280mf. Worthless drop :undecided: . one drop was: 2 healing pots tp scroll and 2 magic worthless things :sad2: s*x!
I'm gonna do a few more now and then go to sleep
 
Morathi said:
yes level 28 is not rare. I never did Full clears before and i usually finished act 2 around 26-28. However with Coronillia we have been doing full clears and i am level 28, plus i only have to go to the true tomb and kill duriel then i have completed 100% of act 2. I will tell you that i have done no re-runs of any kind and p/8 all the way. So i dont see what is so bad with level 28 in act 2. I know some people who are in act 5 normal and still level 28. That is just crazy. They must rush past every monster.

I am about to go kill duriel, wish me luck :).

Duriel was brutal. I used up a whole belt of pots and had to return to town to get more. I was having so much fun killing things with blades of ice I was regretting putting a pt into lightning sentry but facing Duriel made me glad I did. I couldnt stay in melee range long enough to get an attack in so I had to run around while my merc and traps killed him off.

Diablo has fallen, beaten by the Clay Golem and the merc while Kevian watched. Took a while, but the golem + decrep slowed Diablo to a crawl, so it wasnt particularly dangerous. Acts 2-3 (2 especially) were unbelievably tedious, with all the cramped spaces. Act 4 was much more fun in comparison. Act 5 should be pretty fun too; there's lots of open space for my skellies to work with.

Bah, full clears are not for me. /p7 questing instead.

Some shopping to be done as well. See, I need Shael (Rhyme), Shael, Amn, Thul (Peace) and Sol (Lore). Somewhat Reluctant Vendor: The Countess. An early /p7 run saw me take a couple of arrows and then a cold nova smack in my face. 3/4 of life gone. Oops. Safety first, I settled for /p3, bumped up cold resist from -20 to +20 by ditching some MF.

Moved on with questing after I found everything but a second Shael, I'll come back later for that. Killing was quite swift (maxed LF in act 1 NM) except for the Tainted monsters. Andariel proved to be a surprisingly difficult fight. Venom Ward got my poison resist to 95%, but her physical attack was strong (and somehow never blocked/dodged) and a Tainted pack joined the fun. It took 4 trips to town for resurrects/potions and 3 full rejuvs.

It rained green and gold during the countess runs. I don't have the best of maps, and had to mow down 2-3 packs each tower level (1-2 LFs, they didn't exactly slow me down) Act 1 finds: Sigon's belt, 2x Cleglaw's Tooth, Hsarus' Iron Heel, Chieftain, 2x Venom Ward, Battlebranch, Tannr Gorerod, Nokozan Relic, Sander's Wand, Death's Hand, Skin of the Flayed One, Arctic Binding, Isenhart's Case, The Ward. Quite a list, that, even if the items themselves are common. With the exception of a Venom Ward, the whole lot have been sold/muled off. Lack of storage space hurts.

Equipment:
Penthesilea, LF/PJ zon:
+5 mana/kill Javelin
"Peace" Breast Plate
56% MF topazed helmet
Tower Shield of Deflecting
Rare gloves with +1 Passives 20% IAS 27% Light. Res.
30% LF 17%FHR belt
10% FHR 10% FRW 9% MF 37% cold res. boots
Nokozan Relic amulet
28% MF Nagelring
20% MF Nagelring
bunch of charms, mainly resists

Hazade, prayer merc:
Pierre whatever unique partizan
Skin of the Flayed One (to be replaced with a 3-topaz armor asap)
28% MF circlet

Well, smacking your first monster on /p8 with a wand is kinda fun... Just took my time and cleared everything up to the stony field. When I got there, the waypoint, stones and underground passage were in the same corner so I pushed on a little to get to Tristram faster. The slowest battle so far has been Blood Raven but at least I managed to trap her against a wall eventually with golem + skellies.

Last battle was with the Countess... I'll get back on it tonight and see how far I get through act 1, hopefully the rest of the way. Nothing interesting equipmentwise just been whatever I've found though I've had a decent rare cap and armor so far. Currently wielding a bow with a cold and 2 lightning chippies which means I can't use the Hsaru shield I found... never mind.

This morning all i had to do was go clear out the true tomb and kill duriel. When i reached to duriel i lowered the players setting to 3. I have no idea why i did that because i killed him without using a single potion:tongue: . I entered act 3 eger to get my valk so i played until i got to level 30. While questing, the Witchdocter droped me this (screenshot was taken a while after finding it. Hence the act 1 rogue). It made me think if i should change mercs from my act 2 difiance merc to an Fire rogue merc. I was not quite sure if it was a good idea because the base damage for my act 2 merc was like 90-200 and with my fire rogue it is 23-39. However this bow is very very very fast. Plus it has 30% DS which will double her damage. AND also i have to count in fire arrow damage. So in the end i changed mercs to an act 1 fire rogue named Debi 😃 (what a cool name).

In the swappy pit the game gave me an early sign. Trying to make me scared of entering hell *dam PI's*. This also made me consider getting a fire rogue and equiping her my newly found Rogues bow. I will probably stay with her depending on what gear drops along my journey. Also i have a question regarding Debi. How much damage does the fire arrow actually add? and what level would it be if my fire rogue is level 30?.

Morathi

edit- just grew a level. And also found out that the Rogues bow IAS of 50% does not seem to be wroking with Debi???? what the hell????

Lvl 30 Rogue fires lvl 9 Fire Arrows (and uses lvl 9 Inner Sight). By Hell she would be at about lvl 25 for each.

IAS does work for her, the difference should be noticeable.
The problem with that bow is that the damage is weak. Even with the DS it's sub-par. It's OK for now though. If she gets some CB/OW on her helm/armor, it could work at later levels cause it's so fast. You'll find/gamble a better bow soon enough. It's not uncommon to find Skystrike in Normal, which is great for young rogues.

An Act 2 merc definitely does much more damage at this stage of the game, but soon your valk will get a weapon upgrade and do better damage to help. Go with whatever merc is fun for you.

well dam that really sucks. Aw well i may as well stay with her until i find some better gear. Her killing speed at the moment is not bad so i stick with her until her killing speed decreases.

Another update by me. Act 2, the most boring act in the world. Ughh. Anyway, things went smooth. My resistances are scary. I've never had anything like that this early at the game. Lightning is in high 60s, fire and cold somewhere around 50, even poison is in middle 30s :shocked:

While gambling boots i landed Sander's riprap 😃 (spelling?). 100 attack rating, bunch of faster run/walk, stat bonuses. Cool. Big smelly bug died very easily. I used whole 1 light healing potion, for my merc.

Running Countess for runes (Eth...) and a couple of levels, and finally, I got to make this:

Rhyme
Superior Large Shield

'ShaelEth'
Defense: 12
Chance to Block: 52%
Durability: 27 of 27
Required Strength: 34
Required Level: 29
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 77
Fingerprint: 0x50bbe2a1
+20% Increased Chance of Blocking
Regenerate Mana 15%
All Resistances +25
Increase Maximum Durability 13%
50% Extra Gold from Monsters
25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
40% Faster Block Rate
Cannot Be Frozen
Socketed (2: 2 used)

Ok, shut up about the defense... 😃 Caellyn_II isn't a char who cares for defense, and this was the best I've found since I decided to get a Rhyme.

Might get to Andy soon and run her a few times.

Oh, I found this too: Caellyn_II's luck is really starting to come out.

Stealskull
Casque

Defense: 224
Durability: 18 of 24
Required Strength: 59
Required Level: 35
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 72
Fingerprint: 0x1f7a1e18
+208% Enhanced Defense
5% Life stolen per hit
5% Mana stolen per hit
40% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
10% Increased Attack Speed
10% Faster Hit Recovery

IYO, is this better than a Guillaumes for an Act 5 merc? I'm not sure which to use, and could do with some help. He has no LL other than that helm.

Oh, and a question about the rules. I can't go back to NM/Norm to use an Imbue, or get a diff merc, can I?

yes level 28 is not rare. I never did Full clears before and i usually finished act 2 around 26-28. However with Coronillia we have been doing full clears and i am level 28, plus i only have to go to the true tomb and kill duriel then i have completed 100% of act 2. I will tell you that i have done no re-runs of any kind and p/8 all the way. So i dont see what is so bad with level 28 in act 2. I know some people who are in act 5 normal and still level 28. That is just crazy. They must rush past every monster.

I am about to go kill duriel, wish me luck :).
there's nothing bad :wink3: . I was lvl 21 in act 3, so lvl 28 is very high ^^ in my opinion.

Switched to /players . Besides FE bosses or LE bosses with other elemental damage, is there anything I really should be looking out for?

Equipment choice is really constrained by resists; a Lum would be a godsend.

Baal took forever because I accidently left him on /players 8, but Kevian is now a Destroyer, my very first one!

21 seems pretty low to be in act 3 to me. 28-29 is more normal if you do full clears at p8. In the current tourney I am in I didn't try full clears skipped all optional areas and still finished at 26.

Got through act 2 in a single sitting. players 7 all the way, except viper level 2 at /p1. I pick my fights, thank you. Fangskin or one of his goons dropped Sigon's shield, so that replaces my Tower Shield of Deflecting until I can get a good 'Rhyme'.

Easy pickings all the way, even Duriel only took two merc resurrects.

The usual junk S/U drops continue. I have a little competition going on between green and gold breast plates: three of each have dropped so far 😃 A 4 socket gothic plate is now the merc's 88% MF armor. Grailies (only 300 items to go...): Frostburn, Wormskull and Headstriker.
