@Babyhell I'm going to lock Clay Golem. I was torn between him and Corpse explosion and figuring I'm going to need slow to take down some stuff I think that is the right choice. Time will tell!

Well onto NM!

BrianTribute journey: To the Stony field!

Blood raven had been a plague on p8, summoning hordes I couldn't handle...but I caught her in a corner (no no no, it's not a MeToo reference) and finally got my merc (hired a Fire one of course).

Then the Mausoleum gave a nice ring at this lvl

Couldn't sell this one, even if it is of no use whatsoever...

Finally ran only to get the WP, no mob killed in the Stony field, so I know how to start next time.

Could up a chipped topaz on my first gem shrine, before finding the first - crappy - rare gloves.

End of session status: clvl 12, putting Strength and Dexterity to normal weapons req, before getting more Vitality.
For normal chapter, will be a Werebear shapeshifter, only skill will be Hunger...well, my hope is towards Hell killing skill anyway!
Gearwise...

Still lacking some items...

See you on next update!

@Vang sorry about your loss!!

I had great help from the Bear when taking down Diablo!! The merc died instantly and I was just trying to hide, but the bear just kept slashing. And when Diablo died, he just turned and walked away. Coolest bear ever!! :love:

I found a very useful rune in the River of flames!! Now I have what it takes to make insight!

@Jcakes Thanks for the roll!

Let's reroll Hurricane and Axe to see where we are at before I decide on Armor reroll and a possible lock.
 
Omg this character is just so unplayable oO only lvl 13 and I'm wondering how he can get past act 1...crystal sword on werebear as best weapon until act 2, then two handers as slow as it can be?!

I'm not even talking about suiciding the char, but the only damage skill is...hunger (-75% damage, lvl 24 as a reminder - I will be dead much earlier). Should I respec to full raven instead and run p1...#choices #tooLateAnyway
 
Hurricane => Lycanthropy => Rabies

Axe => Broad Axe

BTW I am unsure how this should work. As Lycanthropy is a "normal skill" should the permanent skill take precedence and Lycanthropy become a permanent skill? Then Rabies become the Normal skill?
 
Niminy has finished Act 4. The grand vizier (seal boss) dropped a unique that he or is merc could actually use!
Ahawk.png
(But he stashed it anyway, because he was wearing scale armor featuring lightning resist, which Hawkmail doesn't provide.) On to act five...

@Vang: Sorry about your deeds and good luck for your next try! (y)

Yeah, attack speed in Wereform is abysmal with the wrong gear. Have you considered going for (unsyergized :rolleyes:) Armageddon and Grizzly instead?If you don't mind a slow game pace, you might rely on your merc and those skills after you hit level 30. Don't forget to cube a savage Partizan and a savage Partizan on which you use the socket magic weapon recipe as soon as you have the cube - then put 2 -req jewels in it and you have a good weapon until your merc is able to use the savage Partizan. It will carry you through Normal easily enough (esp. if you manage to cube a savage Partizan of the Locust :)

Act 1 at p8 should be doable with patience if you equip your Rogue properly :) You even might stay in human form to avoid 22 fpa attack speed...
 
Well i have no Grizzly...and Armageddon had been kept *for fun*, I don't see it being useful really - I could have kept poison creeper, but i'll go with Rabies on another druid.

For now I am mostly playing normal or werebear with 1 pt oak sage, it starts to make some hit points so the rogue can kill - Crystal sword is just a plague, but damage isn't that bad. I already got some NDE/heavy purple consumptions due to hit recovery (almost) lock vs Strong packs (gambled a pair of boots with frost nova, that my life saver for now), and one vs Rakanishu lightning enchanted. I have made his own thread here, I already put some recipes, but anyway it will be soooo slow...if anything happens!
 
The Black Marsh....mallow
Cain rescuing, Countess trolling...not a great session by far. Still on p8, still alive, a new pet - Oak sage.

I would have taken advantage of this
wolf summons pelt, but I can't. However this
MF ring is already something I could put in use.

Those gambled life saver boots are much more useful than I thought...really, the Frost Nova mod is invaluable for a melee character oO
PrnszZj.jpg


Bought this 2os armor for later, I may drop in some chipped gems before Andy's fight before Breast plate. Act 2 merc starting
weapon had been found too, with some life leech!

After rescuing Cain, it was time to curse the Cursed curser - who's the biggest now?
q5nn5Iv.jpg


Gambled those 19MF magical gloves, sadly not rare but maybe worth it still.

The Countess map would have been nice to run if not SP, but if she's that rewardless anyway...

This werewolf Wolf head would have been so nice with Werebear instead (now using a 2os with two chipped topazes)
R0plizD.jpg


The first unique drop was from the Hole's chest...not usable, but wouldn't have been used anyway I guess.

In the end Outer cloister waypoint had been grabbed, Tamoe/Pits and after still to be cleared.

@Pb_pal oh dear, I somehow thought you had rolled Grizzly as a normal skill. Checking again, I was badly mistaken and your skills after all are really bad. 😱

Fast progress still, though! Keep it up!

Yeah, well, I guess you really have to rely on your merc a lot while you enjoy the scenery... On the bright side: your weapon roll allows you to carry a Shael Shael Shael Shael Shael Shael Phase Blade for ultimate attack speed in Wereform! 😬🙈
