I felt like gathering my experiences gained from playing this character in one thread so I decided to start a progress thread. I hope that it will be useful and inspiring to some.
Introduction
Meet Manda, the amazon! Manda is on a quest! She has her mind set on finding what many believe is the most potent bow in all of Sanctuary! The legendary Windforce Hydra Bow.
Background
After a seven year long break I decieded to start playing Diablo 2 again a couple of months ago. This is my second character after restart and since I intend to keep her untwinked she represents a new way for me to play this game.
To keep me motivated, I wanted to set a goal for her. Concidering my plan is to go all in on dexterity and strafe, what better goal to set than to find her own Windforce Hydra Bow!
Confines
Normal
Players set to 8.
Act 1
28 August, A.D. 2017.
Manda the amazon is born!
At level 6 Manda is holding her first bow and after the death of Blood Raven, Amplisa joins the fray with her cold arrows!
While exploring the first level of the Underground Passage, Manda stumbles upon her first set item!

Leveling is swift and shortly before entering Andariels hideout Manda has reached level 20.
Act 2
Andariel is defeated and Manda with friends has made their way to Lut Gholein.
Manda has her mind set on making a Zephyr bow and after the first Ort rune shows up (cubed), the party takes a quick de-tour west to dispose of the evil countess in hope of finding an Eth rune.
The quest is a success and Manda manages to assemble her new bow!
One of the very first unique items shows up in Far Oasis. Bloodfist Heavy Gloves!
Lots of useful magical properties on these! Especially a healthy boost of life points!
When eventually finding the true tomb of Tal Rasha, Manda has reached level 29.

The battle with Duriel is tough but victory is secured.
Act 3
When fighting her way through Upper Kurast to the temple city of Travincal, she finds this piece of green jewelry laying on the ground.
Angelic Wings!
While not very useful on its own, this amulet is rumored to be a lot more powerful when combined with other pieces of the set so Manda chooses to hold on to it.
The compelling orb is smashed and the way into Mephistos lair lies open. On her way down she finds a chest with a shiny ring hidden inside!
Manald Heal!
The Manald Heal is put away in the stash. A ring that grants the ability to leech mana will most likely be essential later on.
The guarding council members together with vampires makes for a hectic battle but eventually they are brought down and Mephisto can be taken care of.

Mephisto is dead.
Manda is level 32.
Act 4
Smashing Mephisto's soulstone results in a Eld rune.
The battle against Diablo feels like it lasts a good hour and it is by far the toughest challenge Manda has met. By the time the demon finaly falls, thousands of arrows have been fired.

Diablo slain.
