Honestly I felt like doing as wierd of a walkthrough i possibly could and heres what i came up with:

Character: Barb

Challenge: -act5 enabled
-character starts NAKED
-character starts in act 5
-character starts lvl 36
-character starts with no gold
-cannot use wps until act 1 nightmare

Other Restrictions:-Barb can Only put points into Mastery tree AND Find Item (and find po for prereq)
-NO hardpoints into combat skills
-NO points into passive warcrys (only going to do find item for now)
-Must use act 5 Merc for the entirety of the game

Goals:
-Find a weapon worthy of my 20 pts of mastery!
-Find a barb hat with ANY decent combat skill so i can have some sort of like 30 ed attack lol

Game Changing Gear:
-Bloodletter would be an insane boost and basically id be stuck to an upd bletter until i could make a slick passion for zeal/zerk for immunes
-sigons / ik parts will amke for a huge boost through act 5 as i need to do it all in one run at some point as waypoints are diabled
-any crushing blow or BIG ar items

Here We Go!





Found this sword, so i committed to the life of the blade. Will help with barb merc. So i put 20 pts to mastery and heres the result. I basically 4-6 shot enemies lol. its a bit slow going but im mostly openning chests at this point.

This will be entertaining! Good luck! Tracking for sure

Lmao, sounds fun. Much more different than just regular w/t's
Good luck!

Good luck

some updates

finally a decent wep with an ort and thul in it



Allowed me to kill shenk = merc = triple the dps output



once i find a helm for him, this will go into mercs helm, what a dps boost it will be

his dmg atm, its not too bad



huge upgrade for merc



blood letter fail teaser

Updates will be coming later tonight in picture form!

Heres a summary as it seems some of my SS didnt get saved from the farming phase, or i missed the prt scr key

lvl 33-39 Bloody Foothills Runs (after saving the soldiers so i could get a barb merc!) (around 20 runs cuz i didnt kill much just horked bodies and openned chests)
lvl 39-41 Pindle Runs (after rushing to save anya!) (around 20 runs)
lvl 41 Rush to ancients, then on to try baal

Without 20 pts sword mastery i did essentially zero dmg, so i committed to the sword for all of act5 normal, well see what nm andy drops for me. but a passion is my future want so well see how the weapon thing shapes up for NM and Hell
