Ouch, I feel very silly. SickSixSheik is no more. I had no problems cruising through act 2 on players 8. The tomb had Unravellers and Apparitions, my least favorite combo, but there was no problem there and Duriel dropped without a fuss at all. Act 3 was no problem, I was cruising through the Flayer Jungle, thinking way far ahead of where I was (when I get to act 4, should I shop for a wand with Lower Resist or Decrepify on it to face Diablo, etc.) and figuring normal was going to be an absolute cakewalk. Boom, I was hurrying and got ahead of my skeleton pack too much, was swarmed and chilled and then out of potions and then very dead. Totally mortifying to die in normal with a build that is so ridiculously safe. I had a bunch of stat points that I hadn't even allocated so this was a very sloppy play but I wasn't thinking and then I was dead. I do think that a skelemancer has a huge advantage in this tourney (20 in RS, 20 in SM, plenty of options after that with one-point wonders available on both wands and heads) but I won't be the one to demonstrate that! Good luck to everyone remaining and I'm still blushing about how badly I messed up. Gear at the time of death: +3 clay golem +1 bone armor +1 amp level 6 req wand, +1 amp head with 6 lev requirement, I think, Stealth breast plate with strength 30 requirement, a ring with +6 mana +8 life or so, a plain sash with 12 durability, and a rare hat with some multiple of 6 durability, I believe. I hadn't decided which skills to invest in besides RS and SM- possibly either max Dim Vision for safety, or max Corpse Explosion for Hell, or go Bone Spear. Anyway, I should have been taking this more seriously and stopping from time to time to sort out gear and stats better but I messed up!
Good luck to everyone remaining!
