I feel so lucky....
Why do you ask? Allow me to set some back ground. Finally after 3 weeks of waiting for my cast to come off I was able to start playing D2 again after a long absence ( 2 weeks after L2 started i stopped).
When I finally logged back on a couple days ago I had one mule acct that didnt expire( rest were past the "havent played in 90 days" on it were 2 Paladin GCs with life and a Leviathan. All useful but not for me just as trade fodder. So using 1 of the charms i get 75% of my gear for my Barb. This was lucky moment #1. After reading my thread on "Trav Barb" my old friend Bohe gives me a 248% GF to use. Lucky moment #2. So yesterday i was leveling my new barb in a couple enchant games and in niether one did I get hostiled , people were curtious. Lucky moment #3.
Finally I switched over to MFing Hell Andy with my orb sorc after 23 fruitless runs Im about to go to bed. Run 24 i claim will be my last run since it should be enough to level me. I get half way down to Cat 4 and the SOJ counter goes off. So I figure if it goes off once more whilst im in the game Ill hang out. 2 more hits occur before I get to Andy so I decide to park it. I clear a couple areas in Act 1( sorc isnt in act2 yet) waiting for him. No counter for a few minutes so I try the "anit idle" method in act 5 with my necro and actually get it to work. I start to walk away and counter goes again and again and well 25 hits in 25 minutes. I comeback about 2 hits before he spawned and scanned my F list...noone on =[ and i definitely cant solo him.
Well maybe tomorrow I start to think when my friend Billy logs on and i chat with him for a minute about it and Dialbo pops. Billy comes right in to help so its a Fireball sorc and my Necro. Im thinking boy would BO be sweet. In comes Fred ( Baalos) on his IK barb to provide somee muscle. DC is dispatched in about a minute and I get a 14/13/6 Anni. Whats really funny was the run previous was thinking how I never see "DC" threads anymore or anyone talk about them.
My luckiest moment by far is having such great friends who litterally through items at me when i got back. They arent my friends because they gave me items , they are because they helped me out without a second thought and without expecting anything in return. Thanks again Mark , Billy and Fred I owe you all.
