That has to be the most evil thing in the world. That's self torture.

Goodluck with the run! :thumbsup:


Haha, yeah... then again, I should probably consider it a privilege to even make it that far! With an "easy" build like this I'll have to be careful of Hubris... Thanks for the support!

Hahaha loving the political references, I'm a New Zealander so I look forward to learning about this Bannon character!

P.S. Was heartfelt xo


Oh man, he's the worst! He's the necromancer - Trump is the Clay Golem doing his bidding.

Updates!

Bannon is quick to find a kindred spirit, who is also fueled by fear and hatred.



His puppets continue to do his dirty work for him. Taking down Shenk the Overseer.



They even open doors for him.

First Unique Item = Hellcast. Appropriately named, but Bannon left it on the ground for the peasants.



While upgrading his own waistband instead.



And thinking ahead about how he can better take advantage of Azrael's servitude by manipulating this item.

Saving Anya not because he cares about women, but because he has something to gain personally from doing so. Bannon cares only about self-interest, self-preservation, and power.



More items to hang onto for future manipulation - getting tight on stash space now.

Once a kindred spirit... this fellow necromancer threatened to challenge Bannon for control. And as such had to be put down. Stay on top by any means necessary. Even if you have to work with the Russians.



I believe this is my first time ever completing the Ancients quest without drinking a single potion. (Bannon is my first summoner ever BTW - hence why I don't currently (yet at least) find this build boring).

Waves 1-4, Lister, and Baal were also no match whatsoever.

Destoyer Bannon

Stats and Skills entering Nightmare Difficulty. One point apiece in some curses. Mostly using the posted items found in Act 1 Normal.



Potentially a much better option for Azrael... I'd like to raise his damage, but have zero interest in increasing the minimum wage.



Ring upgrade in the Den of Evil

As appealing as snapping bones sounds... blunt force is not Bannon's preferred way of doing so. He prefers to lurk in the shadows, engaging in psychological warfare.

Something useful for Bannon is bound to drop sooner or later if this keeps happening. That wand was no good.



Fulfilling obligations to keep the illusion of collaboration intact.



An interesting jewel with magic find as both a prefix and a suffix - stashing just in case.

It was worth it to save the old man.
