Damn, i don't have Ith rune to make a much better Malice...



Vizier was the easiest, but now it's time for Diablo himself, i was so not ready for what was about to happen.



At this very moment i realized this ain't gonna be easy

He destroys everything he touches like it's nothing there... pray the gods Emilion, but you can't do that because you're dead already!



Don't you dare shoot that sparkly vomit at me!



Get away from me, you freak of nature! Everything is dead and now he's out to get me!

Here's i was thinking, "oh yeah, he's done", but then a second later he annihilates Emilio and jumps on my ass again!



Ok, new strategy! There's still some fresh corpses around, let's take advantage of that...



Come on, die already!

Yes, finally! And i get a shitty reward of course... Damn, that was intense, give me a paladin or a barb, and i'll finish this guy in seconds... but that here is a different story all together. Tomorrow we'll be back and we will conquer Baal - that's a promise!

I think he won't be able to use that partizan for a very long time.



Thank you very much for these suggestions sir. I try to be pure summoner with corpse explosion, it's a stipulation, no melee or ranged weapons allowed on my guy. If i get desperate for a 4 os sword i will have to eventually use the socket quest, i don't want to spent hours in farming. Killing the Cow King is part of the rules i'm setting for myself, so who knows, i might find my bases for Spirit and Insight there... i might do a couple runs even, but nothing crazy. We'll see what happens, first i have act 5 ahead of me.

gl maate ancients will be hard :/

Now you got me worried. I was expecting an easy fight with them on normal, now that's another battle i'm not looking forward to.

You can find the details on the following page (and individual Item type pages): https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Socket

Difficulty level restriction on maximum number of sockets (Normal: 3, Nightmare: 4, Hell: 6) applies to Socketed normal quality item and Superior item dropped from monster or container or offered by vendor in town.
Difficulty level is irrelevant when sockets are subsequently added to an item that is not Socketed (using the Horadric Cube or Larzuk's quest reward).

Maximum sockets for swords by Item Level: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sword ('Max sockets at Ilvl').
Normal quality Broad Sword Item Level: 19 (< 26) may thus have 1, 2, or 3 sockets added in Horadric Cube, or 3 sockets added from Larzuk's quest reward.
Horadric Cube socket odds (case M=3).

Normal Hell Bovine is level 28, dropping Item Level: 28 (translating into M=4 for Crystal/Broad/Long Sword).

^^^Now i get it, thx

So the fight with Diablo and the stupid crafting experiments left me with only 20k gold at the start of act 5 and now i can't gamble - tradition broken. So i'm diving right in action with a visit to Shenk and Eldritch.

Corpse explosion bonanza!





And i already found my first potential spirit base, but i'm so far from having the resources to cube that thing

Diablo in normal Mode ist the hardest Boss fight for a summoner imo
So once youve Done this, nothing is going to be a real challenge anymore
