Reskilling to holy shock before entering river of flame


Normal Forge, Hoping for Amn & Rubies but got neither




Holy shock is definitely doing alot better, went from 500 fire damage to 1200 lighting damage.. Getting ready to hit the sanctuary hoping to i dont have to rerun for set or unqiue for this act...

Amn


Nice color of drops but not set. Mean i have to re-run !!
Kept Sol and crushflange, gave eth kiteshield to act 3 merc


second run had ravenclaw in RoF but nothing from D And my set piece on the 3rd run ! (son hit the power cord with diablo having 1/4 life so i didnt get to see the drops to the 3rd run



Act 5 here we come !!!

Better start my crafting soon, lol.
I have gathered:
1 p ruby
2 p amthyest

Shael


Crafted blood gloves (first piece of NM crafted equipment), also done a safety amulet and stashed it..


Set piece for act 5..

Unique piece for act 5, Will definitely stash this all the way thru NM progression !!!!!


The Roll isn't too bad (about mid roll on every stat)



Currently at froze tundra WP, which is right outside of Ancients Way entrance with champs spawned at the door...

Madawc was just like he had stoneskin other than that it was pretty simple


He cloned around the L mark on his life bar, rather easy this time around, even with my shit AR..



So i've looked thru the crafting recipes and the only crafts i've seen that would be worth me using in NM is blood crafts.. So that being said i sold all other gems i've acquired besides 2 p amethyst incase i want to cube socket a polearm for merc insight.

So the only blood craft i have is gloves..

Blood crafts still to get before advancing to NM:
Helmet
Armor
Amulet
2x Ring
Belt
Boots
Shield
Weapon

Total of around 10 p rubies to go. (i'm sure i will want to reroll something, lol)

Made an act 5 merc with the bloodletter just for shits & giggles (he does over 300 damage with 8% LL ) will make an insight merc once i get into NM i'm sure just because i could use an aura of some sort


I'm currently level 50

i have very little rubies (2 flawlesses) but thats probably because im not running well known gem areas, lol. I am running shenk, eldrich, Champs outside of ancient way entrance, pindleskin, Nikalyth, Baal..

Could always find a waypoint with shrines near by and reroll for gem shrines.

I did this once. Had a pskull before I left A1. Only took 100 s/e lol

Thought about saving up a bunch of flawless rubies instead of making perfects and just gem shrining but we will see, shrining is boring, lol.

After a full day of collecting gems to craft with I proceeded to NM.
Definitely a tuff battle with shit crafts in nightmare.. The only descent craft was the amulet with all res.

This 1 might end before I complete NM
As u can tell I was pretty much rushing thru to get some wps and skipping a lot of really tough monsters and most of the little carvers/shamans.
Hel rune but left it since its craft only mode in NM and don't have much stash space by the end at baal collecting what gear I can to rerun and grind for hell gear.

Strictly crafts in NM is too hard for my noobyness. I nearly die from any ranged pack because using any type of crafted shield sucks ass, lol..

So i'm Just RIP'ing the challenge char at this point.. I made it into act 2 tho
