Gabrielle has defeated Duriel (/p8). He never put her in any real danger, but she did make it harder than it needed to be when she insisted on punching him for a while. (I didn't realize I had accidentally weapon switched... oops.

) She has close to 400 hit points, so she can take quite a beating while Blaise does most of the damage. It took a while to get the hang of using Decoy with a melee build, but now I've learned how to place it so that Gabrielle doesn't get surrounded and pounded on from all directions.
I've been gambling more circlets, still without much luck. She did get a 29% MF circlet, so the 21% one went to Blaise. She has found several set and uniques, most of which don't do her much good. She did find some Bloodfists in the Lost City which have been nice. She also made her first attempt a craft, and came up with useless crap:
Havoc Branch
Battle Staff
Two-Hand Damage: 9 to 20
Durability: 27 of 40
[highlight]Required Level: 40[/highlight]
Staff Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 25
Fingerprint: 0x5b8ff3c5
+55% Enhanced Damage
Poison Resist +6%

347% Damage to Undead
+232 to Attack Rating against Undead
+4 to Mana After Each Kill
5% Chance to cast Level 4 Frost Nova when struck

The damage to undead would be nice, but the level requirement is pretty rediculous. The banned Lighting charges are most likely to blame for that. Oh well, I get to try again once I can scrape together another PSapphire.
