After 15 mins of watching my mercenary poking Baal at /p8, Randomnipotent finally made Conqueror!
There were some rough moments when my gang of Skeletons got obliterated, e.g. by the Shadow Vex
Or similar boss packs. It got especially dangerous in the circumstances when my merc got bugged and wasn’t targeted by melee monsters anymore...and yes, this seems to happen more often than in D2L. Also, I still think pathfinding for mercs is bugged, esp. with skeletons on the battlefield.
This drop could be useful for Hell and I seriously think about putting this awesome jewel in it.
Gameplay was that of the usual Summoner, but with weak Summons. They couldn’t do any killing, but were there to distract the monsters while I let my merc pick them off one by one. Decrepify could be spammed without pause thanks to Insight.
I didn’t need another skill set, so I will have access to all skill sets in Hell and those skills:
Raise Skeleton
Skeleton Mastery
Raise Skeletal Mage
Iron Golem
Golem Mastery
Dim Vision
Attract
Decrepify
Confuse
Amplify Damage
Poison Dagger (yeah baby!)
Sadly, I am Missing Summon Resist, but my +3 Summon Resist Rhyme Shield with some additional skill bonus (maybe?) should help with that.
The only real threats were Baal’s minion waves 3 to 5:
The council members really do seem to heal themselves more often than in legacy...I had a really hard time splitting up the pack and taking them down without risking them healing all the time. Esp., since the Hydras were killing my Skeletons very quickly.
The same was true for Ventar and his pack – the Inferno killed my Skeletons very quickly. Again, I had to rely on my Teleport circlet to split up packs and then take them down one by one.
Guess what? The same was true for Lister xD Somehow my merc got bugged on the way so Lister and his minions only chased me. So after splitting them up, I kept casting Decprepify on the Minion of Destruction and kept running in circles while my merc kept poking at them. Must have looked hilarious for onlookers...
Additional achievements:
Randomnipotent, level 74.97 Summoner Necro, and Might Merc, Hell Rogue Camp next
