i just pray i find another hwannin's or something. strength pike is no bueno.

I needed it to kill immunes badly. I need a tank and something that can deal damage now. I can barely kill immunes atm in Lower kurast/bazaar and my guess would be the same in act4 and so on. I still have 2 quests (if ever I make it to act5 hell), which is plenty to beat the game imo.

Just work your way to Lower Kurast and farm them chests for merc items/runes and skill items.

I did over 700 runs and the best I got is a pul rune. I am moving on as soon as I hit lvl 88. More updates to come later.

Alright... I dunno if anyone is even caring about this but here are updates!

Act 3 hell... hmm..

Great Marsh wp... Good things no souls!


After reaching Flayer Jungle wp, I went to nightmare and socketed the eth cv I found earlier. This is the result. I don't really care about stats, just wanted more damage on merc for immunes.


This was my merc's damage before eth cv

This is my merc's damage with cv on... oh oh, now were talking.


Eth wyrmhide in flayer... Please be 3os for duress ffs.


OMFG yes. Major upgrade for merc. This means he won't have ll anymore for now until I can find 5 str off a helm with ll. I don't think it's this big of a deal with all the mindblasting/crowd control I do.

Duress. It's ok defense I guess.


The gidbinn. Progressing faster than I thought in act 3. Fire blast works pretty good.


Reward. Unless he gave me a 18+ str 90 mana ring, this would not have been an upgrade

Not a bad roll on the duress. Could have been worse def for sure haha. Good work.

Dungeon... I need to be extra careful here. Could be some dolls.


Made it to lvl 3 being extra careful. Took me 20 mins or so. Doctor is down even if he was immune to everything I had. Merc is a beast now and smashed him easily.


When I came back by foot, I noticed I forgot this haha. Stashed for coolness.

Stormtree. Pretty easy when you convert everything around and mindblast the hell out of him. Took his minions one by one after. No harm. Lower Kurast, here I come! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


Got the wp... I'll reroll the map until I like it.


After rerolling to something that suits me, I began running LK. I ran for a few hours, doing around 600-700 runs. I lost the count. The strategy was to go around the camps, pop all bodies/chests and convert some mobs on the way so they would fight each other and I wouldn't have to bother fighting them at all. The following pictures are things I found doing my runs.

Second skiller... I would have used that on my zon
