Radament:

I think that act2 will be the most annoying...
Immunes. Immunes everywhere.





I'm regretting when I said "All dungeons must be explored"

Imbue: FAILURE.

This is definitely a room that this class CANNOT clear:



The price of going deep in the Halls of Dead, just to stick to my terms, was about ~400k...only have about 500k now.
At least I'm happy that merc leveled up reaching 200str...I used the sox quest on the eth CV found in countess tower and made a new 'Insight'...he gained a bit more min dmg, about x2,5 max dmg of the old 'Insight'

Ok guys...it's time to build an Horadrim Staff!

First Staff of kings @ Maggots (+ holiday in Ancient tunnels )
Yes, yes...going down there was a nightmare...merc stucked without attacking, poison immunes, light immunes, got caught in middle of scarabs BUT...releasing waves of LF at coldworm chamber was a satisfaction!...there was daylight under there!







The CV is eth 3 sock...I was thinking at how good would be a 'Crescen moon' on it...but 'Insight' is too much useful and wait...I don't have any UM!

Second Amulet @ Vipers



Oh well! Finally something useful...when I removed the bow skills tree I felt a bit missing the arrows dps on switch...especially for the GA (essential in the strategy used for Duriel during NM)
This bow give a +3GA, a huge mana leech and a fair dmg...perfect to fire guided arrows without needing to worry of mp
Check it out if you don't know it! http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/exceptional/ubows.shtml

Now, let's go to the tomb through arcane sanctuary!



Lucky, found the right way at first try

2 decent drops in a small time...don't know yet what to do with the 'Pul' but still the highest rune dropped so far so... I'm happy with that

And here it is the final test. I'm not sure if I can overtake Duriel...small chamber, probably won't have merc alive, too much mp consumption for my skills
Let's try...






Go Go he's dying!!

Ahahah I can't believe this...it was easier and faster than NM!

This is how it happened:
merc died immedately but with the new build Decoy could bear 2-3 hits and valkyrie aswell (lot more if it happened to hit the chance of casting her from 'Peace')
I just kept him busy with decoy/valk all the time, firing GAs...the huge mana leech allowed me to always have enough mana to summoning them...as soon as I hit the ctc Valk, used 'the bonus time' to switch to javelins and fire everything till I went out of mana
Then switched back to bow and repeat.
I went to town 2 times to restock arrows and used in the whole fight 0 life pots, 8 mana pots.

Bad drop? Who cares! Now I'm pretty confident to reach act 5 at least
