Cracking on with A1 hell

Den was a good test of Gulzar's kill speed/survivability vs cold immunes - actually pretty damn impressive! Except for this, had to reroll, couldn't kill him


Take two, much better, had to single out his minions with that Fana though!

Blizzard completely shredded Burial Grounds, extremely satisfying!




Decided to give Crypt + Mausoleum a try, not really my favourite areas, everything is too spread-out.

Nice to see GT drop, need eth though! Really feeling the lack of Insight; currently solving by periodically switching to Skull Collector, that beautiful 20 MAEK


Failed Eschuta's in Passage! Had to retry this a couple times actually, amped archer packs were scary AF.

I was quite amazed by how well Gulzar tanked these guys. What a champ!


You'll notice he's dead here though Skellie archers OP.


Raka was cold immune, of course

Very, very stupid idea sticking around with Might + Amp from Griswold, nearly paid the price for it. Closest call so far! Cain reward was bad.


Might rerun Tower for an eth elite polearm for Insight, as none of the mobs seem to be inherently cold immune. Rune-wise I need a Vex for HotO (and a nice staff to put it in), and Mal/Ist/Ohm for CtA, so probably won't run Countess for that.


Sick drop

Thats what I am working on now..that damn Lem

Good luck in Hell! I hope to catch up

Smith was Fana, welp!




Random Magewrath in Jail!

Yeah, such a pain to find when you're actually looking for one eh I guess Countess would be the best option now you're in hell!

Thanks

Jail wasn't so bad, still glad to be through it though


Tough customer!


Pretty sweet charm, replacing a plain 29 mana

Ping 81, nice to be hitting 4k+ Blizzard. It's still hitting like a truck vs anything not immune, love it!


Not the best Cata map!


The customary pre-Andy slaughter!

Piece of cake, really. Swapped to Skullder's + Skull Collector for 182 MF. Very happy with that Gheed's drop, one of the items I was hoping to get from her along with Shako!


Awful GF roll but MF is decent!


Don't know whether to farm her for Shako + Aldur boots or keep progressing.

Also guess I forgot to talk goals!

• Guardian, of course
  
• CtA (sticking with the rules, it's going in a staff too)
  
• Hoto in a nice base (hopefully +3 blizz)
  
• Shaggooooo
  
• Arachnid Mesh
  
• Nightwing's
  
• Mara's (not holding my breath), or a nice craft/rare/+3 cold magic
  
• Andariel's Visage + Reaper's/eth Insight (Reaper's best I guess? )

I guess CS best place to farm for Nightwing's? Seem to remember Diablo having around 1:2000 chances for it with 200-ish MF. Obviously I shall be grinding the proverbial crap out of Ancient Tunnels once I get there
