Forge drop: nothing special, but I appreciate the ruby.



Blood belt attempt #1:



These early crafts are pretty much all crap, but I need the leech.

Shopped a hammer before moving on to Diablo. The damage is about equal compared to the 3 Ral flail, but it lets me leech more, plus there are no resists to worry about.



First seal was cake.



Second seal wasn't much harder.

Third seal wasn't bad as long as I kept them separated.



Stats before fighting Diablo, gotta love those Hotspurs!



Easiest Diablo fight I've ever had on Normal. Stacked resists meant I could just stand in his lightning hose with no issues.

Pretty good drops! I will use the Sander's boots for sure. It's a little too late for the sword to be of any use, and I don't plan on wearing Sigon's, so I left the rest.



Cleared through Shenk.



Saved the barbs! Nightmare is coming!

First Amn drop.



Saved Anya.



Anya's reward was actually pretty good! Using this.

Nihlathak refused to stay still, but it was an easy fight.



First Thul drop.



Found this mask and gave it to my merc. Not sure how I feel about it...the chance to flee is pretty nice crowd control, but monsters will frequently run away into more packs of monsters.

Safety amulet attempt #1:



That is impressively terrible!



On to the Ancients. Madawc is the squishiest so he dies first.

Talic is next. This took a while.



Korlic last. My damage sucks!!!



First Ort drop on the way to Baal.

Wave 1 was easy!



Wave 2 was awful! Decrepify + frozen = moving insanely slow! I need a Rhyme shield!!!



Pulled wave 3 out of Decrepify range.

Wave 4 down.



Lister hits hard, but thankfully his knockback doesn't interrupt Zeal.



Baal getting destroyed by crushing blow!
