Update!
Let me announce: Conquerer Anaphylaxis is now ready to really defeat the monsters of Hell.
Act V was.. interesting. It was the first time i really have had any real problems so far. I have been playing this character stricly on p8 (except NM Diablo; p3), but sometimes in act V i felt that i shouldn't have. I had a really close call in the last session:
1. In the Frozen river, the monsters were souls, blue bone-spear-shooting serpents and cold skeleton mages :crazy:. Luckily, Rhyme provides CBF (at most points, Dim Vision took care of it, but anyway...) but the merc is still vulnerable. I was calmly walking round a corner when BAM! five or six rays of lightning passed through Anaphylaxis' body. I always cast Dim Vision ahead of me, but i must have miscast it somehow :scratchchin:. With adrenaline pumping out of my ears, I retreated around the corner and cast Dim vision before sending the merc in. I estimate that 80% of my red bulb was emptied. The source was this guy with friends. Lesson learned, no more careless walking, EVER! Had it been in Hell, i would've died..
The rest of the act was easier. The ancients died rather quick (and was completely safe). I had found another Amn rune and a two-sock sup (13%ed) Hyperion spear (read Strength) for the Haseen and I didn't even have to resurect the golem once (now cast with ~5000 life). Also, in Nihlataks temple, last floor (alwasy mix the names) i found a 3 socketed Boneweave with 484 defence. Haseens gear in that fight was as follows:
The only thing that was difficult in the last leg of the journey was in the Throne of Destruction, where two boss packs (together with a horde of regular) of Doom Knights/Oblivion Knights caused my merc to die like five times. Lister and his pack fell easily while foolishly hacking and slashing away at the golem while decrepped.
Notable finds:
- Hwanins Refuge
- Magnus Skin
- Butchers pupil
- Pus spitter
- Bing Sz Wang
- Amulet of Life Everlasting (25)
Along with 2 Blood Crescents, 3 Dimoaks Hew and 2 Isenhearts case (not to mention sigons greves, now completing the set, isenhearts shiled (completing set), and other low lvl items).
PEACE!

Anaphylaxis, Epinephrine and Haseen, waiting just a liiiitle while longer in the Rouge Encampment

edit: good to see you come back Merlin! May the force be with you (this time
)
edit2: hmm, i've been playing around a little with the gear. Anaphylaxis is now at 75/71/75/18 in the resist department while still sporting 273% mf for Haseens kills. great, let's head out to the blood moor!

mg: (why did they remove that nice 'scared' smiley?). Touching the seal, teleport (that staff i almost accidently shopped when first arriving in act 3 did become invaluable during act 5), trying to summon the golem to distract two of the ancients, and let Haseen kill the third. In short, Haseen died almost instantly four times, and my full rejuvs were running out. On the fifth attempt, i managed to get the golem to engage Madawk and Haseen fought Talic and Korlic in a narrow
