Wereskunk entered terror's lair with trepidation. How was he going to manage this, on players 4, with no real gear? "Take it slow," he thought to himself, "and something decent will drop along the way to help out."
Hah!
When the battle against Diablo commenced, Wereskunk was wearing the following:
lightning resist ring
fire resist amulet
cold resist ring
"Malice" claymore
magic breast plate with some cold resist
Hsaru's boots
magic belt with 17% FHR
a two-socketed mask (sockets unfilled)
Hand of Broc gloves
That gear. Against Diablo. On players 4. :shocked:
The merc wasn't any better off: white pike (made "normal" quality with an Eld and chipped gem), a blue armor with some poison resistance, and another two-socketed helmet. But he could be resurrected... Wereskunk was a mere mortal.
The battle took over 45 minutes, and exhausted every one of my full rejuvenation potions. I didn't count merc resurrections, but based on my gold expenditures, I'd place the total at about 25-30 (thank goodness I had tons of gold!). Countless potion purchases.
In the end, Diablo fell. As luck would have it, he dropped nothing of value: a Centurion unique hard leather armor, Vidala's bow, and four junky rares. But the main thing is, he died. I really didn't think it was going to be possible. I kept a Bone Shield of Deflecting as my act 4 souvenir... if anything in this tournament is fair, then Larzuk will at least give me two sockets for it.
Some notable finds in act 4: a really, really nice rare jewel (cold resist, "envy" mod, max damage, and something else), a Thul rune, and... well, nothing else. Hellforge gave me an El :rant:
