Thanks I'll post pictures little later tonight when I get home but I beat normal yesterday night. One thing I noticed is that killing bosses is really painfully slow. Thing is that I'll have to find better bow to be efficiently farming anything.

- Don't have mana leech and 95% of damage is elemental (so having ral bow vs diablo -__-)
- Merc and Valk take ~0 damage from normal monsters and champions. Also they deal75% of my damage. Diablo and Baal kill them too quickly so I'm constantly running in town. Hopefully I can get some crushing blow soon (and mana leech + phys damage).

Guess I'll try to progress to nm countess next to farm some sol runes for insight. The den was promising, I should be able to handle countess ok (especially when rerunning her on p1). Another option would be eld + shenk but not sure if it pays off at normal.



I'm surely using passives, currently I'm relying quite strong on valkyrie.



Thanks, I'll keep my eyes open. frw wouldn't hurt at all too

I was too tired to post yesterday after playing but now updating from work

This was a long fight


Nn ty


Anya was generous

I ran pindleskin a few times since it was much easier than many previous bosses. Too bad I don't use io staff


Now that's what I call a charm


Progressing to Nihlathak. Helm went to merc

Here goes nothing!


As you can see, valkyrie has no problems tanking those. Much easier than expected


Made a new helm before baal

Bordercase too weak for baal. Fight took like... 30mins and cost all my money? But here we go. I for sure can't farm baal right now. Too weak for that.


Beginning of NM was actually easier than end of A5. Will make my way to countess


Here we go

Valkyrie! Please don't ever stahp that Merc died in few hits but valk barely takes damage at all. Pumped few points into it and it's my current #1 weapon


Already excited


Once again. I feel next to useless but progress due to my valk

Didn't need runes anyway


This was surely an upgrade, top priority was 4 rows and some res won't hurt. 2 Sock helm in my stash waiting for Lore.


More tals and rals

Keeper for now


Ong what can it be. Can't remember this item


Nice Equipped to merc. I have to say that those damage reductions work wonders at this point. Merc survivability *3.

More countess runs. This was nice!





Made new Stealth for myself

I swear I have been browsing throught runewords trying to find anything I could make. Thul is always nice anyway


Made edge when I found the base. I actually had this base for some time from normal but did't remember the extra stash pages. It's actually quite nice upgrade for many situations. Prevent monster heal Next upgrade will most likely be Harmony unless there is some nice unique drop.


That's all for now. I'm thinking of I should progress to andy. IF valk can tank that it would be nice. If not, I guess I have to farm baal or countess. With my new merc equipment and bow I can actually kill baal in somewhat reasonable time.
