I was cleaning my stash a bit, found some old random bases which I'm not sure why I kept, including my mercenary's old Lionheart armor. I turned it into an iron golem to help me soak damage/aggro in LK runs.

Now that's an endgame small charm there, frw+allresist, really nice!

I didn't even pick up a Might mercenary, Mephisto went down very smoothly this time. Maybe Thorns was the way to go? I was even considering rolling a Hustle iron golem for the fanaticism, but it's still the Lionheart one fighting.





It looks like my PC cannot really handle D2R AND recording the game at the same time. Probably playing summon necro in uber tristram did not help either.
The game crashed with Diablo at 10% hp. I logged back in and my organset + fullrejuvs etc. was gone, so the crash also saved the game it seems. I also don't have the video recording saved anywhere...

I have a backup of my character in the cloud that I update every now and then, just in case my PC dies for good I could continue playing the character on a different computer later on.
Unfortunately, I haven't saved my progress for more than a month now and I don't want to rollback so much progress for an organset, so I guess that's it for uber tristram.



The lesson was learnt, I will now update the backup file everytime I am about to post progress in this thread and work on editing/deleting screenshots and such anyway, starting from now. It's a bit frustrating, but I was very lucky to get a necro torch for the first attempt, so I don't mind too much. It made me realize I would have lost more than a month of progress if my PC/SSD gave up and probably would have given up on this walkthrough.

On that note, farming p7 TZ pits with 350+ MF I find 2-3 uniques/sets every run, so from now on I will try to only post the more interesting drops (charms and elite or useful uniques/sets, runes, etc.).

The goals are still the same, nothing was rolled back, nothing was lost except for 10+ fullrejuvs and an organset. I only had minor upgrades in the past week:

Aw ssf organ set
Thats unfortunate
Lets just say it was a 1010 dtorch

I started doing some TZ andy runs and I found a Shako and a Gheed40 back-to-back.
I decided to level the rest of 93-->94 with P7 pindleskin + P7 TZ Andy and clearing the packs in level 4. With ~400% mf lots of unique/set drops popped, but I'm still missing a bunch of them.

Actually found another Gheed40 within a few runs... +7% extra gold!

Unsure yet if the Stormshield will ever be useful, but I stashed it for now. Maybe starting from 97ish it would be better to pretend the game is HC and go maxblock/maxdr/maxres because dying would set me back tons of xp.

Found a fake Death's web and another fake soj.

Vampire gaze is interesting, but way too low rolls to consider switching merc's Talmask. I would still prefer an Andariel's visage because of the attack speed bonus.

Found a boots upgrade as well, +3% MF this time.
