Thank you, Sir!
Life is a big issue... that's for sure. I can only hope that max block and good resis will keep me alive... basicly I'm potting after every not blocked hit.
Need a 4 rowed belt asap!

Some more impressions of me fighting my way towards Andariel.


Nice charm. Will need some more of this kind. Otherwise I prolly will have to go hybrid in hell.

I like spiders... they're dying quick


Not like these guys...Huge fireres or huge life or both?!
Weapon broke only a few hits after this screen. Diggler has very low dura, so breaks very often. Annoying
Luckily I don't lose to much dmg even when fighting with my pure fist *g


Another attempt to craft a usefull block amu.
Maybe usefull but not for me

Finally reached lvl 4... and met the Soulsisters plus their friend Jade.


Wathing the screens you don't get the right feeling. This place was scary!!!
Honestly the hardest spot in the whole game so far.
All these guys and their minions need lots and lots of hits before they die.


That means, while merc and me are trying to kill one of them, all the other guys creep at us, too.
That leads into major danger.
Furthermore, their were aat least 4 or 5 Shamans plus brood in there. I think I already told you, that
these guys take lots of hits, too.

I could have easy just ported into Andy's chamber, but I refused to do. And finally I could clear the room alive.
Belt empty *g

Refilled my belt, stacked some antidots for Ahsab and me and engaged Andariel.
Used static as far as I could.


Merc still went down. Completely forgot about the lifetab wand... could have helped a lot I guess.
Didn't want to resurrect, so I did the rest all by myself.


And there she left our beautiful world. Wasn't to hard, especially compared to the guys hanging out
in front of her room.
Crap drop, nothing usefull Changed one of my rings to the Nagelring, since I didn't need the mods on it anymore. Didn't help^^
That's it...


Act 1 Nightmare accomplished
summary:
level when starting: 46
level when finished: 53
close to death:[b] twice - Mausoleum while taking a screenshot and Catacombs lvl 1
[b]tough spots: catacombs lvl 4 [n]>!<[/b] , tower cellar, Treehead
comment: All in all she's doing pretty good. The dmg is great except against some guys with huge fireres.
Had a lot of fun playing act 1. Need some gear upgrades tho
Especially Shield and Armor could be better... some res on them would allow me to change the amu and gloves.
Map to Andy would be okay for rerunning but I won't do that for now. Not worth the danger, I guess.
Let's see what act 2 will feel like

nice thread. this is actually a thread worth tracking and im always excited to see updates.

just curious, what are the end game items/gear you are striving for? What skills are worth getting later on? Maybe energy shield or some shiver armor to help surivability?

Can this even be done with the best gear possible?
Even my decently gear'd barb has trouble progressing in hell, i cant even imagine how ur gonna killl stuff later, let alone survive.
I feel like low AR is gonna be a problem later on when u cant hit anything any more. If thats the case, i recommend getting a blessed aim merc instead of might.


Maybe with teleport, u can mf at a fast rate to twink up a bit.

keep progressing! love to see some more updates in the future

thank you for the nice words! I can only recommend trying a WT by yourself.

Welcome in my WT! Glad to provide you a nice time reading this thread

I don't have any real endgame gear in mind. Everything that provides maxblock, max resi, some fhr and life would be fine.
Since you can not mf for a certain item, there are just some runewords I am aiming for. That would be treachery and rhyme.
Give me a decent block amu additional to that and a PB with 6 Orts in it and I'm happy

Of more importance is the precast equip, because this is the way my dmg can be improved. I hope I can collect some decent stuff.

With the best gear pssible a Meleesorc can complete the game, no doubt. B.net melees are pretty good.
When I cannot complete the game, than I won't blame the built but my lack of skill.

Merc choice is definitely still something have to think of. Time will tell

Act 2 Nightmare


After a nice voyage with Warriv I found myself in this hot and sandy place.
I first replaced my merc. Gonna try a might merc for now. Ahsab was like: "Need a might merc? I am a might merc!"


On my way to Radament. Surprisingly the archers down there were no thread.


Ahsab, get him boy!
