More on that soon



Thanks!

Mixing it up a little bit, safety ring attempt #1:



Nope.



I'm here for the resist charms, but max/AR is always welcome.

Hit max gold (including max gold in my inventory), gambled it all on rings, got nothing even worthy of a screenshot.



Another pretty nice melee charm. Ideally I will have a couple of these sitting in my inventory so I can start using them as my resists improve.



Here's the map I'm running. Not amazing, but it gets the job done.

If I find a Raven here I will literally shit my pants.



My pants are safe (for now).



Lem from a chest.

Another Lem from a poppable. Let it be known that NM LK is a great early source for Lem.



More decent melee charms. I managed to scrounge up enough crappy resist charms to top off fire/cold/light so it's time for Hell!



Here is my gear starting Hell progression. I feel pretty good about my setup right now.

Here is Ahsab's gear. I don't feel nearly as good about his setup. ISO 1k+ def ebug Treachery and a new weapon.



Stats with might and holy shield. Damage is good, AR is meh but with ITD from Crescent Moon it doesn't matter as much, resists/life/defense are all decent. As you can see I tried to go for the "full inventory so you use the cube as your inventory space" thing, that lasted for about 5 minutes before I got sick of it and went back to my normal inventory setup.



Blood Raven was no problem once I cornered her. The zombies on the other hand were super annoying! They are all immune to lightning so I was losing a ton of potential damage.

I'm an idiot and forgot to turn on my screenshot program at the start of this session I saved Cain and killed Countess. Cain was uneventful, but Countess was extremely stressful. All of those PI ghosts in the tower were insanely dangerous. In the end I just had to run past them.

Trying my hand at a Pit run



Another T-Gods.



Hit 82 on my first run, which is my first level up since before I started farming Meph.

Hit 83 with no drops worth screenshotting in between the runs are safe as long as I take my time. If I see fanaticism archers I S&E



First plain phase blade, I will socket this soon.



This would make a pretty nice base for Sanctuary, but I could never give up my HoZ

Ding 84 soon after. Love how fast the XP comes here.



This is maybe the most pathetic item I have ever seen in my life.



Plain ST with decent res. I want a Spirit on switch, but I will probably just wait to find one already socketed.

Ding 85 soon after.



I know that I have to do something drastic to deal with physical immunes, because 1 point vengeance is absolutely awful. I found this nice base so I think I will try an Act 5 merc wearing a Lawbringer.



Farewell Ahsab, thank you for your sacrifices

Ulf is in the house!!! Not gonna lie, this is my first time ever using an Act 5 merc, and he is a total badass.



Progressing with new merc. Decrepify makes even the hardest hitting enemies into weaklings!



Decrepify breaking physical immune! Hell yes.
