Glassine (Trapper Amazon) has killed Duriel and moved on to the Kurast Docks. She is probably Wolron's most powerful entrant in this tournament, though her score is lower than most. She does not take much damage because she deals in traps like Fire Blast and Blade Fury. Even at that, she lost her shield in the battle with Duriel. It was already down to 1 durability prior to the battle. Since the shield had a Diamond in its socket, it will be missed.
In preparation for the Duriel battle, Glassine decided to make a couple rune word items. She knew they would not last forever, but had confidence that they would still be around for the Mephisto battle that would await her in Act 3. The items were Stealth and Nadir. I seldom use Nadir because I hate the lack of light, but Glassine thrives on that so she had no objections. I know these items are well known, but here are the relavant stats:
Stealth Leather Armor
Defense: 22 Durability: 12 of 13 Required Strength: 5 Required Level: 17
+6 to Dexterity +15 to Maximum Stamina Regenerate Mana 15% Magic Damage Reduced by 3
Poison Resist +30% 25% Faster Run/Walk 25% Faster Hit Recovery 25% Faster Cast Rate
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (2: 2 used)
Nadir Superior Skull Cap
Defense: 39 Durability: 7 of 11 Required Strength: 5 Required Level: 13
+5 to Strength +13% Enhanced Defense +50% Enhanced Defense +10 Defense
+30 Defense vs. Missile Increase Maximum Durability 13% -33% Extra Gold from Monsters
-3 to Light Radius +2 to Mana After Each Kill Level 13 Cloak of Shadows (7/9 Charges)
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (2: 2 used)
Glassine used a couple of the "cloak of shadows" charges in the Duriel fight. I do not know if that helped, but Duriel went down (using P8) without going back to town and without the merc taking any damage at all. Glassine did use a couple health and full rejuv potions, along with a thaw potion at the beginning of the fight. I was surprised at the ease with which Duriel succombed. Total duration of the battle was less than 45 seconds.
Of course, the drop was useless to Glassine. She left the 5 rare items on the floor of Duriel's cave because they were all too heavy to pick up (why couldn't one of them have been Ethereal?) and she will allow Wolron to stash the Lightbrand in his S/U Atma file for reasons that not even he understands.
The next character to be brought through Act 2 will be the singing Barbarian (Elvis). That will be a different story. I wonder if he can defeat Duriel on P1. He leads Wolron's team of 6 because of his Vitality, but will it be enough to allow him to survive?
