Random Tournament 2020 Stay/Shelter-in-Place/Home Edition

Well looks like I got a physical beater, so let us reroll Poison Explosion!
 
funnily enough you may actually want to keep Poison Dagger for Synergy purposes.
 
I guess ideally I'd lock Corpse Explosion...but fire golem sounds tempting as well. Suggestions?
 
I think you'll get more bang for your buck out of CE. Since you already have RS as a forever skill, Fire Golem doesn't really seem to add too much to survivability other than a castable tank.

That was my thinking on the castable tank against bosses (not sure my RS would last long against Big D, etc)
 
Big D will definitely be a challenge. I should also mention that CE benefits very well from your Amp Damage forever skill, while FG, not so much.
 
Well then I suppose we go with CE as the locked skill, thanks for input.
 
You can also go against the peer pressure and go with Fire Golem and make sure every screenshot shows how essential he was.

I could do that, or I could forgo the lock and hope I get SM on a roll in NM.

Decided to do a random roll on a 1-3 (1, CE: 2, FG: 3, No lock)

Rolled a 3. Fate decided no lock yet.

I probably would have locked CE personally. Even if you don't run skellies - your Merc + Amp can get first kill which then leads to screen clear with CE.

you'll want to shop a wand with +summon resit and +skelly mastery for Big D.

Thanks for the advice on my druid! Haven't tried Fissure but will go for the summons in normal and then most likely lock grizzly and see what happens.

Now I need to go through the arcane sanctuary and find myself a canyon.

Niminy spent a bit more time in the false tombs, found and put on a cold resist amulet, purchased a life leech polearm for the mercenary, and finally confronted Duriel.

He still lives!

When he got to Kurast docks, Asheara sold him some gauntlets with 11%MF, so now he finally has all of his equipment slots occupied.
