The road to Andariel was very easy! was able to get an Arctic fur for a little resistance boost and Deaths Hand (poison res gloves) dropped in cata 4 right before the boss fight.

Decided on using A2 Normal Combat Mercenary for Thorns Aura. So far so good!

Just got Horadric Cube and killed Radament as well. Can now Xmute.




Have +2 Raven Helmet

Which allows me at Level 21 to currently run with

Arcane Sanctuary was the hardest challenge yet. With the narrow pathways, I was unable to run the 5 wolf 5 raven combo. My merc is my main source of damage and my summons were blocking him from attacking. Decided to use Dire Wolf to clear up space and it helped. Unfortunately didn't find Summoner until the 4th route.
Off to Duriel.

WOW! Duriel was hard. I got im 1/4 of the way down and he wiped out my merc/minions/mana. Decided to farm Count/Andy until I am better prepared.

Second Andariel Kill I received my first unique! a whopping 16% nagel ring XD

Here is a very handy druid summons calculator

Gl, summon druids are very fun.

Duriel will be a pain no matter your level. Your best approach is to use thawing potions on your merc and yourself. The more you drink at once, the longer they last. Buy 10+ at least for each of you.

Hawkmail on merc can help too if you get lucky and find that.
