All good, I went back and saw it wasn't in the post on how to handle Barbarian weapons, I'll update that. That is how we handled it in the past iterations though.

Please reroll my barbarian's sash belt, but I think I'll keep the rest for now.
Also, I'm fine with the rolled weapons, but I am wondering: did you roll for all possible mace-class weapons (including scepters), or did you just roll from the "maces" list?
(Bonus points if I max Increased Stamina?)

Andariel fell to the combined might of my SW and my merc while I plinked away with my two claws. I got fairly low on potions as you can see, but managed to keep the merc alive through the battle.
It was nice of Andy to give me a Topaz to complete my gem'd armour.
Moving onto Act 2 and once i was high enough level to gamble a Giant Sword, I switched tact and started predominantly using battlefury as my attack of choice. I forgot how amusing battlefury is against these guys where I was often knocking them back all the way off screen.
First unique dropped in the halls of agony and mr merc was very pleased to have it. He and the SW are still doing most of the work, but I can relatively easily pick-off the revivers with battlefury.
Speaking of which, having CoS on right click with a SW is quite nice as he casts it relatively often, which is a definite help with revivers.
I always check yellow ones of these for failed uniques - looks like I hit the jackpot here (metaphorically speaking).
and that ends my first updated.

LK sessions - part 3
Pretty nice deliveries this afternoon/evening! Starting with the Shimmering Gc 10@. For now, I must be around 5/6 hours of LK running, it has a nice delivery pace - granted it would be better spent in Hell, but she may put more time there if she succeeds in getting there.
Also, the 9life/6PR Sc could be useful if I needed poison res...the same with fire RNG please!

Thanks so much for the rolls, @Vang and @Vildecor ! Introducing: Niminy the Barbarian (attached). According to an online dictionary, Niminy comes from the 18th century phrase "niminy-piminy," which means "affectedly refined" or "finicky."
Niminy has carefully arrived at the Outer Cloister waypoint. So far he has found a rare club and a large charm of blight, and he also purchased some magic heavy boots from Charsi and a large shield from Gheed.
(I like the updates table, so I think I'll copy it here again.)
It seemed appropriate in a random tournament to employ a little randomness in the new character's name. I wrote a script to select a random six-letter word from the /usr/share/dict/words file of a Linux server.
I used a PRNG from a Python library, because I was too lazy to figure out how to get the random number from a random dot org API.
Bash:
#!/bin/sh
s=$1
re="^"
while test $s -gt 0
do
re="$re."
s=`expr $s - 1`
done
re="$re\$"
c=`grep $re /usr/share/dict/words | wc -l`
n=`python -c "import random; print random.randint(1,$c);"`
grep $re /usr/share/dict/words | head -$n | tail -1Niminy has carefully arrived at the Outer Cloister waypoint. So far he has found a rare club and a large charm of blight, and he also purchased some magic heavy boots from Charsi and a large shield from Gheed.

I can do it if you would like still since it is early, but normally you'd just roll from the mace list (I added it to the random rules, that if mace unless specified is just mace) We had a problem with that on year where like 2 random barbs got only wands.

Normally I would have waited for another significant duration of running, but this morning dropped this amulet, I have to share:
Not jav&spears boost, but still boosting Critical Strike, Penetrate and Decoy, so it's all good, and will replace the current 24 MF one.

As followed here, I now only need fire resistance charms to complete the goal before Act 4. Time for some RFL dedication on the next sessions!

RandomQueen has finished act3 in normal, Mephisto was rather easy. He didn't drop anything I am allowed to use so I'll press on instead, hoping to start to find some exceptional versions of my gear instead.
I had some issues for a while where the monsters seemed t ignore my merc? Going straight for me all the time which for a sorc is of course not so good.. I remember this happening sometimes if the merc died and they seem to "forget" him but this time it happened directly I started the game? I had to restart and then it worked again.

I usually find this will usually happen when you get too far away from the mercenary and he "teleports" to you. Doesn't seem to always happen, but usually it's because of that.

Nightshade has completed Act 2. Relatively uneventful and generally progressed relatively well. She is still predominantly using bladefury, while her Merc and SW do most of the damage. CoS is still a fantastic skill, especially for the unravellers in Act 2.
Got a bunch of set items in and around the palace cellar, including 2 x Civerbs (amu+ shield) - none were useable though
Found these nice pair of boots - but I can't wear them unfortunately so they got Charsi'd.
Standard MO - Nightshade kneels at the back while the Shadow and Haseen do all the work.
Just a day in the life of a typical Duriel drop
Went through and cleared the rest of the tombs after duriel and got another drop - not as good as the mercs current item unfortunately
Now on to Act 3 and Mephisto. Not sure i am going to like these more open maps that are coming up.
I've added my self to the table for this update - hopefully I didn't stuff it up.

Pynache reached the pinnacle of Normal
and will soon be starting her journey in NM after respeccing to her NM skill set.
Of course cows was a joke for a Javazon, but for NM, I won't have any synergies, so we will see if LF is the powerhouse I am used to...
No NDEs or anything, as she was quite powerful with Power Strike against single targets and LF against mobs. Anya's great gift even reduced the amount of mana pots by a lot, so now I only need to find a good weapon for my Barb merc.
Pynache, the Random Amazon, and Healfdane, the Barbarian, NM Rogue Encampment next.
