Blew through normal pretty quickly with no restrictions, but before moving on to NM difficulty i had to have all rare or crafted gear only. It took me until lvl 48 to combine my first perfect ruby to craft my first open wounds belt, and that was with keeping every ruby that dropped the entire time. The only rune word used so far was stealth for FRW, but i did have a hard time replacing some of my magical resistance gear and the weapons. Didn't take many pics of normal because it's pretty standard.

RULES
1. Maces only for dmg, no restriction on WC weapons
2. P8 progression, P3 for farming gambling gold/items/gems
3. Only Rares/Crafts after normal dif. All gear had to meet the requirements before starting NM.

Goals
1. Gamble/craft 200+ ED hammers
2. Nice ED amp weapon for merc. (Probably never happen but we'll see.)
3. Kill Hell Baal (i've had some unfortunate misadventures and died on every public walk i've take time to post. Amp/Crit hephesto, BO wearing off on double archer pack etc. I want to finish one of these )







Merc couldn't use this in a timely fashion, so went with one of the other ones instead.

Nice Diablo hose tip! I never knew that

Yeah, i found it by accident. His firestorm will still land but his hose gets blocked by the wall
