That took some time, but smooth sailing... gained quite some XP. Let's not talk about the hellforge and quest drop lol. The mages, decrepify, golem slow... feeling pretty condifent i'm able to conquer A5, too. The last throne wave tho', but we'll see.

Oh well... there goes a chunk of my confidence after running into a Lord mob in Chrystalline Passage on P8. :D Brrru-tal.

Really looking forward to opening the Nihlathak portal though. Free corpses for quickly setting up my skel army at starts of games. Nihlathak is just perfect for Necs, it's just fun to beat him with his own weapons and just bomb him and his minions with the corpse explosion. Vipers stink of course still. As for now i think i will keep trying my luck in Lower Kurast. Wasted quite some time there already. Dunno, as i said in the beginning, i got quite some HR drops there in Ladder... now with perfect conditions, 2 fires close, a fix map, i kinda thought things get predictable to a degree. Think i will go with Beast first if a Ber drops btw, in a War Axe b/c i dig the Berserker (high str) style.

Fantastic run rescueing Anya, everything went my way. No Lord guests in Crystalline Passage, later no souls. Now my res are up AND i have the perfect place to set up my minion army at game starts. Free corpses, y'all! Oh, and some goodies!



The pole is intriguing... max 3s, pretty nice for Crescent Moon which might be my merc's weapon fighting Über Meph (after pull him out to seperate him from his brothers). 15ed! But that means the downside is i'd have to sacrifice a socket quest for it. Let's see, best case i end up with an elite Nec shield and Shako as mandatory items to sock. Kurast ain't that good to me, so maybe it's upped Viper forever. On the other hand, maybe it's Spirit Monarch forever lol. We'll see....

Bring some Hell Lord revives i thought, this might get spicy...



... buuut it was really easy. Not gonna lie here, if one of the Ancients had been phys immune, i certainly would have started a new game. Got me the next and last waypoint, too, looking forward to do some runs in WSK, did a clear in level 2 just for fun. Again, not sure about Lister, but should be able to grind it all down i guess at this point. That being said, Baal is not the big challenge of this WT, the Übers are.

Aight, let's get that bread...

Wait, first i have to admit, i died a 2nd time lol, some lazy LK and i got stuck in a mob lol, it was quite stupid. I'm still happy i went softcore, i know it's a disqualifying criteria in this forum for many, buit ima be fully honest here, i think it just turns you into some s/e escape artist, that's not the way i want to play, i want to be in the do or die situations without having a finger at ESC. That being said, the big aim is Nec Über Tristram anyways, so it's a different spin than getting to Baal and wreck him. But still, let's do this now lol.



Entered the final stage and i was already like, oh boy this gon be nasty lol, they came from each side and it was a massacre, lost quite some skels there already. But after the dust settled, it went pretty, preeetty, preeetty good. Pretty good. Decrepify for the win really. Controlling the point where the gang faces the opposing mob was crucial. After some kills, quick change to Amplify Damage just for the CE, then quickly back to Decrepify. Lister was super easy, his whole mob just wasn't able to surround my skels and rip them apart. But oh boy, Lister took a while.



Baal was just so lame... so lame haha. Entered, one tele directly in front of him, Decrepify (also hinders hom from summoning his clone)... just stood there until he went down, no challenge whatsoever. Quest drop, well, some bad Chanceguards.

So this is it then? Nah man, there was more content to tackle, something i was looking forward to... moo cows lol, or Muhkühe how we say it in german haha. Was surprised how stable the merc was there. First kills took some time, but then, well, it's just the level where the Corpse Explosion shines the most, thing of beauty how full mobs just fall down like trees.

Join, you guys!

Also, i want to pick your mind... i need some experienced WTers. Is it realistic to tackle Über Tristram with P8? Do i have to compromise and make it P3 maybe?
