I hope I haven't ruined the table. If someone cares to go through the trouble to restore it in case I have, it's much appreciated. You can also use "grk" for my name, it's shorter.
So, Shaetemmu is finally resting in the Kurast docks, after I decided to to go through the Palace, Arcane Sanctuary, and the tombs, the big bug included, in one go. At full clears players 8 it was very tiring, I almost gave up before Duriel's last tomb, I was exhausted (still am, just saved and exited a few minutes ago) and made some mistakes, but nothing too serious. The tombs were relatively easy to clear as I was using attract to clear the way for my 6 skellies and Gumby than amp damage and CE, once the first body hit the floor. The Maggot lair was a pain, though, with one NDE due to boredom of watching one nearly frozen skeleton hitting in slow mode a giant boss worm with a freezing attack, while the rest of the army and my rogue were blocked in one of those "S" shaped narrow passageways. I tried to hit the giant worm with my CtC flee wand when the worm decided to make a meal out of Shaetemmu. I barely escaped, with a sliver of blue (I was frozen) in the life bulb.
The drops have been laughably bad. Not only that, but the decent pieces of equipment I had were exchanged with CtC ones. The only lucky breaks are with the second shield, where I still can equip a Necro shield with some nice mods and two OS I've been saving in the stash for a while and a rare gambled 28MF, 12 life ammy with an awesome mod: +1 to summonig skills (druid only...), but I guess the moment I venture in the Spider's Forest I'll find a crappy shield with CtC charged Bolt or something, and an ammy of Frost Nova.
Shaetemmu and Maeko are still using the 3 chipped topazed gemmed mails from the first act, Maeko has my 2 chipped topazed cap, while Shaetemmu recently equipped a 2 topaz full helm. Topazes were very scarce, and I still (remember I do full clears) haven't seen a single Gem Shrine from the beginning of the game. Not one! For the MF ammy I gambled about 400k gold, which left me bankrupt after the maggot lair, now I've managed to gather some gold and will probably gamble for a decent belt.
Despite visiting Drognan very often he only recently decided to sell me a decent wand: CtC nova, +3 SM and 29 mana. Yes, it's been that bad. I still wear the rare ring with CtC I found in the first act, I have gambled boots and gloves with CtC and +29 and +30 FR respectively, I have a belt with CtC and nothing else, another wand on switch with +3 CE and chance to flee, a spike shield with CtC and +4 @ res, bought from Drognan. Maeko, my cold rogue, has a rare composite bow I've gambled with monster flee and +7 dex and some measly poison resistance on it.
I've decided to save Charsi's imbue for when I reach Harrogath and find a Demonhide Sash, provided my luck stays the same and I can't find anything decent. That's it from me, good luck to all of you, and may your drops be green and gold!
