1. Andariel went down like a sack of tatties! Crushing blow just annihilated her. Ring was so crap I never bothered screening.

2. Got staff - maggot lair was real easy. Have put Gulzar into retirement for now as he's pretty much useless whenever there's 3+ mobs.

3. Realised I'd forgotten Radament so went back and got him down. This kill was really reckless, will try and avoid being in such a bad spot in future. :|

1. Good old S/E! No idea what happened here, couldn't do any damage to mobs around me and using leap would only leap on the same spot! :S

2. This will defo be challenging, these vipers properly freeze you in place, not able to move or use skills at all; is this a thing on later patches?
I don't remember it but haven't played many melee characters, but yeah couldn't do squat here other than just let them kill me or maybe try a TP out, so another S/E it was.


That concludes all progress up 'till the present, will be heading back to Nightmare as per Joey's suggestion to get a Skullders hopefully, and maybe see if I can get some other useful charms.
Updates will be slower from now on but hopefully not too slow!
Cheers

1. Found a grim helm popper when looking for a russet armour map! Nats hats for days.

2. Got the drop at #581! Incredible stats for going forward, just what the doctor ordered!! Huge dual leech, MDR and DR, couldn't ask for more really.

3. Stylish too, fits the Butchers theme well :D

1. Found sharkskin belt drop, didn't want the Razortail, just M'avinas!

2. Woo, only took about 20 minutes drop, an extra 40% FRW is awesome :drool: - and I read ages ago that there was no diminishing returns in 1.07 on FRW too.
With frenzy up and all the FRW gear on, the barb is nearly uncontrollable!

3. This popped out a wee while later, pretty gimpy compared to current version.

1. Since I had some mana leech from vgaze decided to craft a couple of blood gloves as I could replace Hand of Broc and needed some source of CB.
Nothing amazing, using the 30% LR ones to combat the lightning enchanted dicks - at 64% with these equipped.
Will farm some more mats and craft some more soon perhaps.

2. Fed up with rerolling maps all day for a russet stand so dips my toes into hell Act 2 again, cursed + might aura = cya!

3. Got amulet sorted out. My damage has decreased a fair bit with no g-face but can definitely notice a big difference in survivability with vgaze, defo worth keeping on.

1. Staff made and summoner downed.

2. These fuckers made going through the tomb to Duriel an absolute misery.
They'd soak up all the frenzy damage meaning I couldn't leech or kill anything as soon as they surrounded.
Had to just keep on peeling them away and killing them in another room then proceeding forward. Took maybe an hour to get through.

3. Ding 60! Happy with the shape of resistances atm.

1. Got there in the end.

2. Crushing blow from merc just straight up nuked him into earth, didn't need to use one pot.
Crappy antlers.

Onwards to A3! Might have another shot at getting Skullders in NM but for now seem to be tanky enough.

VGaze + SoE = 40 MDR. You are totally fine with that, you do not need Skullders anymore (unless you want to reach 375 and 556 MF breakpoints).
I would recommend Shaftstop instead.

After reaching Hell LK, you can start racking your end game stuff. :)

I strongly recommend to get these gloves and use them alternately (depending on the situation):
- Ghoulhide Heavy Bracers - 4% Bonus To Attack Rating Against Undead per Clvl, +8% Damage To Undead per Clvl
- Laying of Hands Bramble Mitts - +350% damage to demons, 50% fire absorb

For end game weapons, Bul Kathos' set is a great option, as the full set bonus gives you +200% damage to demons and undead. Both swords can be racked in LK.

And of course your ultimate armor shall be Arkaine's Valor, however reaching lvl85 on P1 will be time consuming (XP gain is OK until 75).

With Mav's belt you can also switch to Goblin Toe boots, to have 25% CB (will be enough for the rest of the game).

Great WT, amazing finds from the racks!

That old style Valk wing though :drool: Who's wearing it currently?

*edit* Love the idea of dual BK swords for endgame, back when they were viable :love:
