Tried gambling some sashes in A4 but no death sash in sight. Would be really amazing to find it for cbf/ias/ll/res - such a good set for melee.



Izual was easy but slow af. Really need some crushing blow asap. No decent drops at all.



Maybe hell forge will be kind and drop me an Amn so I can make strength ...



ffs -.-

Decided to run some norm andy again to try get deaths/crushflange/bloodfist/hotspur, just to make things easier. After 5 or so runs I got my first:



But nothing else came. I decided to just push on and do Diablo with my current setup, which was slow af but quite safe:



Oh actually that armour might be quite useful, I think it has cbf if iirc:



It does! Nice, that's actually going to be very useful going forward. Just going to stick double swing for normal especially now I have cbf. Could really do with a weapon upgrade tho.

Just running through the blood foothills and look what we have here ...



I know exactly where that is going!



The rest of A5 was a slow boring, but safe, grind. Ancients were easy with crushing blow. Baal was a pushover. Drops were not good:



Normal mode complete! Final level 41 with double swing frenzy build, super slow damage and tanky life. Going to need to switch things up in nightmare I think ...

Thank you, and funny you should say this ... before going into nightmare I decided to do some normal terror zones .. and what is this :D



Couldn't really ask for a better norm drop :D I quickly ran some nm countess for a shael which i socketed:



During these runs I also found a sol rune so I could also immediately upgrade this beast:



Fuck yeah! Nightmare gonna get steamrolled imo :D

Armed with my new weapon, I start to make my way from the Black Marsh. First champion pack and this drops:



Goddamn things are picking up now! Feeling good. Got 2 ptopaz ready for this badboy:



Andy was pretty easy, my damage was decent but she actually hit pretty hard even with antidote potions. I forget that zerk means no life leech :/



No decent drops, but that is fine I've already had enough luck the past few hours :D

Finally also found a weapon for my merc during A1. I was holding out for exceptional but I really want the mana regen:



Let's roll it:



Not too shabby, glad to have the level 17 aura tbh. I also switched him to might from prayer which is going to help. Started making my way through A2, going smooth, found this lovely little gc early on:

Most of A2 was very boring with few drops. I did find this in tombs though which is very welcome for the 40frw:



Oh and another drop from tombs! This is actually quite useful for merc, some extra ias :D



Duriel was so easy even my merc survived ^^ ty for tp scrolls mate



On to act 3!

Yeah man the smile on my face when I saw that drop. Though I kinda wish it didn't to force me to take some more imaginative routes through weapons, rather than just upgrade this to exceptional and elite.
