Equipped Iratha's set and shard but kept using the 3 diamonds shield as I don't want to spend points in STR until I find good FCR mana resistance rings...

Want to get a better block shield with 3 slots, a tower shield, to put 3 perf diamonds again till I can use the ward without resistance worries... Current one has low block.

Hell Andy down!



Current level, time to start farming Oasis, this time I will avoid stepping on Lost City cause I want to skip the darkness thing till I get some more levels... Vipers are gonna hurt I guess...



Wow the size reduction of the images are just lowering the quality to get a very similar size, I will stop reducing them, pretty pointless...

This is gonna be hard...



2 hours later...



This was easier, remember in many maps there are multiple monsters that can spawn, if you don't like the ones you got you can exit and try to find a more convenient match... This is very needed for leveling without sunders. Time to find the summoner... Wish me luck...

Lul, cleaned 3 ways and just missing the Summoner's one...



Summoner down! Crap drops but at least got some gold...



Spent a ton of time taking skellies away from the guys resurrecting them... Time to fight Duriel... I am kinda worried in case it kills my merc in one hit...

It was far easier than normal or NM, the merc tanked like a king, the moment he was short of life I ran to a tp and healed him in Charsi...



This is the remaining mercs in Act 3 when I reached Lower Kurast after cleaning all the way and getting a couple organs in the way... I was dumb cause basically the full merc list was fire mercs, and those suck... Next time I do this shit will check this menu and see how many ice mercs there are, those are MvPs.



This is the place I fear the most in this run, no question... I have a strategy in mind, let's see how full of mobs the entrance is...

First we clean both rooms to the side and get a tp ready



Then we start pulling mobs with a hydra little by little, in case the fast boss comes we rush to the tp so the boss stays in that room then we go back walking and enter the temple by the door... If as soon as you enter you tp or move to the opposite side the boss should not see you...



I did as planned and teleported right to the boss room when I entered from the entrance again... Luckily for me the fast boss was the last mob to aggro so I even had time to take a selfie, was very lucky that the second boss that appeared was not a fast one...

Heart, I don't know how many times I had to chicken... The sewers are hell...



Got it from the first boss, if any of the other are cold and fire immune I can always lure them out and just rush inside...



Look what a Mephisto map... I had to clean all the fucking map full of kamikaze midgets and Urdars, luckily for me cold merc is godly for urdars and the zombies... Freeze them all and I can orb them to death...

Mephisto down!



Farmed xp quite a bit after Mephisto, I also messed up that godly map where I could just kill no mob and fight Mephi directly... I am still crying... Still Andy would be better for my SOJ farming... As Mephisto would not be quest bugged...



Again, don't mind restarting games over and over till you find the correct monster combination, I just skipped every cold immune monster, Izual down

Poor Infector... What now? Hit me if you can... Ah, you can't...



I was very worried in case Lord De Seis would be fire and cold immune as he usually is... So I would have to purchase a Thunderstorm staff or make a perfect emeralds bow... But luckily only cold immune...

Diablo was a joke with level 20 static, lul, I think I used a red and a couple blue pots from the inventory, was so easy that did not even use one rejuv...



Two of my goals achieved, level 80 and finished Hell, now is time to start farming Soj.



First Andy run... Nah, it's a meh Nagels... But for a sec I was like, wtf... Did over 20 more runs but no more rings... Not sure if I will start another classic char tomorrow or will farm some Andys...
