March of the Doomed - Running Thread

Andariel has been ridden in NM and am ready for her damnation!

Screenshot154.png
I'm going to run her some once I get my damnation rolled as I'm sporting around 150 MF.

Ran countess until I had the Amn I needed to upgrade a weapon from a Maul to a War Club and then went gambling and got this beauty:
1642689332337.png1642689360191.png

Found a 4os Gothic Plate and tossed a couple Flawless Topaz in it, Perfect in Helm and a 25% amulet along with some from rings, boots, gloves to round out that about 150.

So far skills are:

Combat skills: 1 in all but Whirlwind and Frenzy.
Warcries: Battle Orders 6, 1 in rest except Warcry and Grim Totem.
Combat Masteries: 19 Mace Mastery, 1 in Polearms/Stamina/Speed/Ironskin and 6 in Natural Resistance.

Update time! After some days where I didn't find any time at all to play, I managed to do full clears from Cold Plains till the Outer Cloister WP.

Here are the youtube links:

Part 02:

Part 03:

Part 04:

Part 05:


I am not sure if anyone is really willing to watch over 4 hours of Act I Normal gameplay, but feel free to do so! There are a lot of mistakes made because speaking English while gaming isn't exactly a good thing for my concentration...

Long story short: 8 chipped topazes in now, 3 set items found (Arctic Furs, Infernal Cranium, Cleglaw's Claw). Still using this rare Short sword:

Death Cleaver
Short Sword
One Hand Damage: 2 - 7
Durability: 18 of 24
Required Level: 3
Fingerprint: 0xa4aa40e4
Item Level: 5
Version: Resurrected
5% Chance to cast level 1 Amplify Damage on striking
+10% Increased Attack Speed
+39 to Attack Rating
Adds 1 - 5 Fire Damage
Adds 6 Poison Damage Over 2 Secs (50 Frames)
Poison Resist +5%

I said it was ilvl 1 in the video and that I checked in GoMule...well, I was wrong. It is ilvl 5 :p Man, I am really all at sea the last few weeks. Need to get more sleep.

So in total, I am about 5h 30 min in the tournament and have only reached the Outer Cloister WP. That fits my estimation of around 1 hour per WP.

If you watch the videos: I hope you enjoy them!

EDIT: At the time of posting this not all videos have been processed entirely by youtube.
 
March of TheDeadman - iteration 2
Summoning gamble
ES4mSIwl.png

No pot used, no skeleton down... a piece of @Jcakes again!

Nightmare questing is kept on p1 for the most part, in order to try to avoid unmanageable situation. I could put it to p3 I guess with the same efficiency, but anyway.

Two things to show:
- Ormus' ring isn't that bad really, would have been used probably if there was some MF
yZWYKTCl.png

- And so is the Durance 2 map
kCHVtKMl.png


Fight vs Mephisto required two or three re-summonning of the Clay Golem, but apart from that... even with twice Conviction council bosses, easy run through!

Skillwise, one point has been added to Bone Armor and Bone Wall, and Corpse Explosion is now at 5. 2 points unused, it is undecided if I push Corpse Explosion to the max or get a better Clay Golem.

So... see you on next update!

We have to put on the pressure in order for people to use their seals right? :ROFLMAO:
Barbarian can be the toughest class to adapt or play without using a seal...less 18-30 skills.

Necro summoner relies on few points in 18+ skills, but the important part is 1-12, which are the less likely skills to be hit.
 
Diablo is down, need a damnation roll!

(Bash isn't used its on my switch for mercenary kills for around 300 MF)


So where to begin. I started to farm Mephisto with the goal of 58 to 60. I did just that.

First up was a shiny new maul:
Screenshot157.png

Followed by a rather good unique:
Screenshot158.png

Then I didn't even have to upgrade the previously gotten Maul:

Screenshot160.png

So the plan is to get IK items and either upgrade this or find the IK maul and slog through the game or be able to make an oath and go mace and board.

(Pul from Hellforge)
