Made it past Act I. Andariel was a fun fight. I kept running circles around the blood pool while keeping her poisoned. When I became bored I just tanked her and used my cattle prod (2 pt. Charged Strike) to finish her off.
She dropped a Nagelring, which got lost immediately because of a sudden computer freeze :(. (*)

Ah well, poop happens. At least I got the andariel quest, so off to Act II I went.
I ditched my companion rogue, and went with a trusty desert tank. I was glad that I bothered to run the Countess resulting in this device:

Nearly bit the dust in claw viper 2: fangskin and pals decided to sit round the entrance, forcing me back and forth between levels. If I hadn't cubed some 'juves I'd be posting my "deeds" now - must learn patience...

Rescued Cain and found the Dark Wood waypoint, as well as another Arctic Furs, which is really strange considering before this tournament I was missing it from my grail and in a few days found two of them. It would've been nice if one of them was a Greyform though...

act 4 was a breeze no big problems really, diablo was slow going but i was only level 29, wanted to see if i could do it without valk, didn't even have to chug a rejuv :thumbsup:
found a jav that has ctc amp! that made things easier since the merc was able to crush diablo once amp had hit, might do a bit more tonight but i do have anothe rmidterm tomrrow, sooo we will see - and i can't believe it my Ar is at 87%, but i refuse to add to penetrate because i'm sure it will even out once i get up in levels
Oh on a side note did slow missle get changed? because i used to remeber slow missle affected meph and diablo. or is it just me?

edit : added Hot_n_Dexy

Still progressing wellish. My level is too high for my area though, which is good as far as survial goes, but bad for my boredom level, which means I will start to rush and could and up dead.

Still no major NDE's yet. Stopped playing with the volume off because I wasn't hearing the trapped chest noises and it was just annoying to lose 1/4 of my life to a jar.

I found a Nozokan Relic ammy which is great for my Fire Resist, but the rest of my resists are terrable in comparison to where I would like them to be at this point.

Poison + base life + crappy poison resists = very annoying. Carry Antidoes with you or be prepared to go to town ever time you run through a dead mummy.

Edit: Can't wait for reading week next week so I can actually sit down and play her for a while rather then this 1 or 2 wp's at a time bs.

It's weird to discover that I don't have enough strength to equip a Long Bow or Composite Bow.
 
don't run through dead mummies ;) its crazy how many bad habits i've picked up over the years do to things not hurting, running though poison, booby trapped chests, worst is the fire shrines!!!!!! i almost died to one in act 2 before my fire resist was decent

Am I missing something? I didn't realize javelins had durability. A couple of sources I looked at don't show durability either. Why else would you repair them, except to replenish the stack?
Click to expand...

I didn't know there was any mechanism for refilling the stack. That's my point; I clicked 'repair all' and had 60 javelins again. I didn't know Charsi included that service.

Just adding myself back in. Its pretty impresive how many people missed my post (#87) zenithsmith even (unknowingly I assume) repeated half my post.

Started, but did not get that far. Not sure what route I am taking, but the start is easy anyway. Did find some decent rare javs for early in the game.

Best find so far has been Hsarus' Shield, shame I went bowazon!
 
Darn. Everything seemed to go well with my life in the 150 range and my gear good enough to kill most enemies in one or two shots, when I wandered to close to a cold enchanted unique and my quest was ended. RIP toxaris.

just finished Meph, who only dropped rares. Nicest single drop was leadcast from Duriel. But only for the +10 dex bonus.

Been keeping dex items, giving a total of 210, which ain't too shabby (is it ?)
Some way through act 2, the monsters started ignoring my merc (act 2 combat) and going round him to get to me. Annoying at first, but tried to use it to my advantage. This made both Duriel and Meph awkward, but not impossible. Council was 'interesting' as well. Decoy was nice to have at 24, as if (of course) valk at 30.

Oh yes, somewhere along the way, Cathans armour dropped :-) If only I can find a ring or something else, I think the partial set bonus makes the armour better with each level (can't remember the details). A nice rare amulet also dropped, with +10% res all (40% lite) and some other mods as well (+str, I think). Quite a usefull little bit of bling :-)

Stopping for the day, to rest up before getting into act 4 properly. I've got 10 in each poison jav skill, and plenty of skills with single points. Got to decide soon what the backup skill will be. Lite fury seems obvious, but my last char did that (got to Guardian as well). Bearing in mind the nature of the tournament, maybe I'll look for something in the bow tree and see what looks interesting ...

So far, a fun tournament. One NDE getting the staff in act 2. I didn't realise the merc was attacking a beetle right behind me. Had to hit a rejuv sharpish
