Great progress everyone, what a fun thread this had become!
--
Out into Hell on /p1 for the merc's sake as he's getting squishy now, a quick clear of the Den before heading towards the Mausoleum for his first real shot at a good CM base. Then, with the Mausoleum in sight, this happened.
Alright, well with lady luck on his side he abandoned clearing the Burial ground(they're all LI anyway), muled in some supplies and gave it a shot in the cube. Bingo! Now the Um from A4NM and the personalization from NM can be put to use (after a respec to get the dex reqs that is).
Feeling happy about his good fortunes, he bee-lined for the Stony Field to keep progressing and test out his weapon. It's AWESOME, and extremely fast. Non-LIs melt and even LIs go down relatively fast. I'm still keeping it on /p1 since both Elding and the merc lose health faster than I'd like when multiple enemies are around. Through the UP, through Treehead and off save Cain for the final time. The ring was actually alright, and replaces a previous one, so that's great.
Still, Elding can't afford to get complacent. The insane firepower lends to slipping into a false sense of security, and then nasty archer packs like this LI-Fanat group can show up and be very dangerous.
Lost the merc a few times, but Elding prevailed and made it down to the Countess in one piece. Drew LI archers in the Pit but cleared it anyways in case of potential loot (there was none). Tried out our final imbue to no avail and it was through to the Catacombs. Nothing major, except for this fine gentleman that the merc just couldn't survive.
Elding pinned him and took him out carefully, and then a leisurely trip to Andariel, who was no big deal and Elding could tank her easily with the help of pots.
Next up on the docket; a major (and likely final) crafting session!
Elding the Tesladin, lvl 75 - Hell Lut Gholein
