hmmm ... not sure what to do with that. Maybe Dtail + Blades of Ice? Or Dtail + Dtalon. I don't think I want to Dclaw it up....
NM going to be tough without CoS.

@Vildecor I am planning on using Ice arrow in throne room, while staying behind Baal, for leveling, counting on pierce for multiple freezing. We will see! Can't wait for an Insight -_-

Well after running pindle a few and getting nothing, I hit 40 for 125str. Time to gamble some Greaves hoping for something good to upgrade to finally kick the competition.

@Vang - Those are some seriously great boots! Awesome gamble!
Great progress to everyone else too, some cool builds coming together!

Things are getting a stupidly easy now that LS is gaining traction. She soon found the figurine, and dispatched Sszark with ease. Once she hit 27 and tolled her 63rd point in strength, she shopped a Great Helm to finally fill her helmet slot (and get some LR while she's at it).
She drew gloams in the GM but honestly she's so powerful with LS that it didn't even matter. She's basically only limited by how quickly she can drink mana pots so it was right through to Endugu, found a unique ring (which tuned out to be manald) and then Stormtree fell and in to the cities she also cleared out Sarina's temple and the Sewers.
The Council was no problem as she just kept her distance from the hydras, and into the Durance she hit level 30 and popped a point into DS. I won't be using it yet, but it's always good to havea corpse disposal option, just in case. The Meph fight was (big suprise) easy, Silika kept her diatnce and spammed LS
His drop produced a rare Great Helm which she was very excited about, but unfortunately the stats on it were garbage. Whew, that was an easy act. Here's how her randomly-rolled stats are looking at the end of act 3.
Vitality still leading the way, so that's great! Energy is also still in last place, also great! I'm hoping she starts rolling some more into dex so that she can equip one of the higher-tier claws, should she find one that has good stats. Lots of time for that yet, though.

Well, Shiv kicked her way into nightmare. I decided to do /p8 all the way and Lister and company was a 15+ minute fight and Baal pushed 30m. Wasn't ready for that too much.
Can someone roll up my NM skills:
Forever skills:
Cloak of Shadows
Cobra Strike --- Tiger Strike
Mind Blast
I did get a Cleglaw's which was an upgrade over claws because of the high deadly strike with the kicks, so I used that to go beat on Nith real quick to finish out my quest in Act5.

Welp that was incredibly embarassing - not paying enough attention and died to a Zombie in A1 .... oops.
Was trying out the skills and not paying attention to my life.
Can someone roll me something completely random?

Meditation->Concentration
Large Axe->have to check between full reroll or only Axe reroll: it is full reroll.
Heavy boots->Boots
Well I messed up with the double weapon type (forgot that rule). I will first roll the double between Scepter and Axe (Mace should have been ignored), then ask for the weapon reroll.
Edit: Scepter rolled double, Scepter added. Do you confirm a reroll on Axe?

even better.
As tempting as it is to lock in blessed hammer and hope for synergies later. I am going to play it as it is.

Niminy has reachedl level 21, has made it to the last waypoint in act 2, and is almost fully kitted out in assigned gear (still no gauntlets yet): He made a steel runeworded morning star, found a Hsaru's Iron Stay belt, and is wearing some forgettable magic heavy boots, scale mail, mask, large shield, and jewelry.
Looky how handsome his clothes have made him!
Well, not exactly cover material for a gentlemen's magazine, is he? Charsi sounded interested at first, but alas, even she doesn't want to go on a date with him. Anyway, this is as far as my previous attempts made it. Here's hoping Niminy can defeat Duriel...

@Swamigoon sure he will ;-) or maybe you have the unconscious project to stockpile your characters' ends at that point in the table, waiting for Randomness to allow you a Sept of dead Canyon o' magi? You may be the first...Deeds kinda forever remembered ;-)
GL vs Duriel!

Hmm, let us see..I could lock in Blade Sentinel or Shadow Warrior or Claws of Thunder.
Edit: No I'm going to lock blade sentinel as I think i can make it work.

Normal completion: a p7 shot that could be the end
No spoiler, Frida is now Destroyer!
Let's see how the things happened...
First, after @Vang's fantastic boots, i decided to gamble for pieces upgrade. The two major points were the belt (lowsy rare from...act 1?) and the boots (14MF only). Gloves afterwards, but at 24MF it starts to count.
Things took a while to start, started gambling with close to 300k. At 86k left gambling Light belts and Heavy boots, the belt upgrade was found:
Few tries later focused on boots... certainly not as good as @Vang's tri-res ones, but still!
Then gloves were close to deliver on the last tries... but i kept the 24MF ones
So it was time to complete lvl 40 at Pindle as planned. The boy was kind enough to deliver some useful tool:
Great! It was time to march towards the ancients. And When i found them, it took literally seconds before they slept again...
WSK delivered some useful runes
And map is nice for leveling
And after this close call avoided only by being behind Baal... which is not without consequences, couldn't get to the opened teleport -_-
I fcked up with Baal's kill screenshot. Well, anyway, he was dead, and it was time to craft a Rhyme Small shield
And for now, at lvl 43, with over-resistances on Charged Strike switch, i'm only lacking 19 cold res on Kuko's one. Not a bad status!
So it's time for me to level a bit doing Baal runs, at least getting XP, maybe getting upgrades. Will do it on p5 in order to be safer.
Edit: evening session brought me to lvl 48/55 targeted. I may push 51/52 tomorrow.
Edit 2: lvl 55 hit this evening. Let's go on to NM then!
So well see you later for nice Baal drops and NM... @Vildecor ii'll take my NM skill rolls! (Please allow him to be fully responsible of my failure...just in case! ;-) )

Charged Strike
Jab -> Ice arrow (initial reroll)
