ItsATrap is getting Orange!
Well, I'll update this post probably tomorrow with details for end of Act 5 up to Act 2 NM, but I have to set that milestone: I had to start to craft ItsATrap's gear - and she is still not fully geared at this point.
Also, she left the SP thingy (star added beside her name in the table) in order to start NM with Shadow Master maxed. Last waypoint is Lost City currently, but the Maggot's Lair hadn't been visited, neither had been killed Radament.
Pieces crafted are belt, gloves, amulet and - finally - armor. Got the jewels and the runes, but lack the PGems, and the exceptional base for the boots. Merc is naked and will have to wait to be geared, but as flawless ones start to drop for real, it should be quick enough throughout Act 2 NM.
Anyway, real things have started!
The journey
Last session saw ItsATrap defeat Baal in Normal, at clvl 44. She then went to cows then Nihl, with nothing at all noteworthy, but she ended her SP journey at clvl 45.
Afterwards, she leveled up to 49 at Pindle to max Shadow master.
Nightmare begins
She is running NM on p8 for now, except for the Countess, who coughed a Shael. Cain was then delivered, and Akara's reward was... well, better than her Normal gift, but still not amazing at all:
On the way to Andy, we started to face Fire immune elites, and so was Bone Ash. An area succeeded in keeping all of its monsters alive, but obviously Andy didn't like the fire traps:
This act ended with few noticeable runes - the Countess' Shael, an Amn and a Sol, and few flawless gems - and most of them were either diamonds or topazes -_-.
Arrival at Act 2 NM... the REAL nightmare begins
ItsATrap went for something like an hour of shopping, mostly Fara, and Charsi for the gloves. The boots are still to be found, so are the merc's armor and weapon base - but there's a real lack of pgems. One piece could have been personalized, but ItsATrap is not one of her fighter sister:
Main target for shopping was the belt... and for some reason it had been the last one found #D2Trolling. Crafting had been done along the road, with flawless gems dropping more often now (see spoiler below), when getting the needed PGems, so the act had been started somehow naked.
Thoughts
I did VERY WELL to max Shadow Master. At least for now, it's a damn powerful ally as my merc is just a naked piece of meat dying so fast that I don't even bother to resurrect him. An Offensive NM one had been hired however to help the shadow damage (...lol...), but I will probably hire an Holy Freeze one for Hell.
See you on the next update!
