Infector had huge pack and they wiped out the team. BoBo went into a tp he had thrown earlier and then re-entered through the wp. Got them somewhat separated and did the decrepify and thresh method. Aldurs gives full res with Obedience equipped...love that res mod on Obedience.


Really was tired for this battle. Was 2:30 at night. Had woken up in the middle of night and decided to face reality....d2 reality. So it's do or die time or D-time:


Was really surprised at how BoBo could stand in the lightning. The fire hurt more! In nightmare, even with good light res, Diablo's lightning was nearly gameover many times. Why is hell D so much easier?
He was not nice when decrepify wore off. Especially when Obedience was equipped. His physical attack really hurt:


Well, sellables. Merc never died in the Diablo battle. Seemed Diablo wanted Bobo, exclusively.

So made it to act 5. I love act 5:


Maybe it's the music of old legends.


Didn't do Diablo until Duriel's could be upped.


The Pelt is the same old pelt with +1 bear and 3ocs with 30 ias and a perf ruby. In the stash, there is a +2 bear pelt waiting for a roll for sockets. Haven't found any real helms or good pelts.

Should add, that chance to hit doesn't include the processed enchant.

The biggest reason for windhammer being better than buriza for ur build is that the buriza doesnt get help from all ur points in strenght. I know you have thrown both away now but just wanted to mention it

Gl finding a good base for beast. War spike is an option for 1 handed I guess? Hopefully u find a reapers toll so u dont have to apply decrip urself with lawbringer. Gl with a5!

You're right about the buriza on a titan. It had good ar with the dex and was slightly faster for the fireclaw and massive max damage but lacked cb and enhanced damage vs undead and lacked the utility of titan strength. Buriza would be good against fire immune regular monsters. I toyed with the idea of putting a shael rune in the windhammer but IK maul would be a much better weapon and require no socket quest. Glad I stuck with the idea of Obedience in a thresher/giant thresher. It's very nice and does use the titan strength effectively.

The war spike wouldn't best utilize the benefits of titan str because the average damage is so low...kind of like ed on a LW PB...it's nice but not great. War Spike is also 0 ias base on druid....not very fast. So two handed weapon is the way to go...fast one. I'll bet grief pb is still good tho. Reaches 7fpa. But grief in a silveraxe is also good...reaches 8fpa and effectively utilizes the titan strength...just need lots of orts A champion Axe reaches 7fpa with beast and 7fpa with grief...just never see them drop.

I keep wondering about a pheonix shield/weapon. Probably never find a jah though. pb grief with pheonix shield ... probably great.

Infinity merc?
Infinity on fire claw bear?
Oath in Feral axe? Great. 6fpa!

Been planning to give an act 5 merc a lawbringer when I find a 5oc pb for cta....which is very fast: 7fpa. Would be great against Blood Lords, I hate them and a shield is helpful there. An act 5 merc is better than I thought it would be on a windy druid...really fast with pb lawbringer...windy does the killing though.

So speaking of shields:


Forgot how nice vita is on titan And +2 skills is nice on fireclaw. And fhr. And mana. Lack a lot of block and res and ar/dex vs hyperion santuary.

So, found this item:


And later:

...

Results:


Will BoBoBear ever find a 5oc pb? He actually did long ago. Tossed it cuz of stash issues. Found this:


I find a lot of 15ias jewels. Have 3 in stash. One has a bit of ed. Decided to use them. They take up valuable space:


With pb lawbringer, just need a 15 more ias to reach 9fpa. And thresher obedience needs 60ias off weapon speed to reach 12 fpa. So 3ias jewls good. Want to restat without the spirit...dies so fast. Same with the vines.

Head gear has been a problem:


This item needs +3 fireclaw! Would love that. Another bugg try:


Lost ss but it only got 1 oc. And then found this:


...

Need 4oc! Found something useful:


Decided to go questing:


There were a lot of those bat like birds...fasties. Bosses. Not too much trouble.

This guy is fun to kill. Makes a lot of noise:


Found this near very bad lightning undead:


That was the best ss of the baddie I could get....he hurt bad. Lot of cold immune carvers too. They can hurt you fast.


Going to keep it. But Merc needs res too. Still uses the dusk smoke. Wish it were eth!

Now this guy is a killer! I hate him in p8:


Not friendly to titans. Wouldn't mind an obedience giant thresher on him. He probably has a great range too with that whip [claw].


Wasn't very easy getting to Crystalline Way. And these are my least favorite monsters. They had a bad ass boss too. Tried to get ss but needed to go back to Arreat's plateau fast. Went down again and didn't like what I saw. So, at least the wp was found in Arreat plateau.

Made this:


Would love +2ss instead of +2fireskills....but that 90+life ammy with 37 light res is awesome...even in act 5 hell.

The infinity on merc for sure best option. Too slow on the druid itself. Oath feral axe would give u massive phys dmg and speed but beast is cooler

Beast in a caddy? Or maybe its same speed as war spike for druid. Also only 1 more avg dmg. Oath Feral and Coh armor would be nice combo prob.
