It's more time consuming, who cares, it's the same shit. You have unlimited inventory space.

Hey all!

Against the consensus I decided to plod on. I wanted to see just how weak I would indeed be. I don't want to turn back unless I know for sure that I've hit a wall.

Here are my stats in hell:



Not bad resists! I can probably ditch the dual res boots I've got stashed, as well as the 40 fire res amulet w/ life regen.


Then it was time to shop, as any boost to my damage output will be welcome:




Then I went out into wild...

A new charm:



Replaces a 24 res.. I should probably just ditch this for the extra inv space. Perhaps after Andy..

I cleared the cave. It took FOREVER! All the little fallen are fire immune, and all the others are cold immune. This is a major pain, and the drops are not going my way.

I also can't afford both my mana habit AND resurrecting merc, so merc will have to stay dead for awhile.

I'm laughing my defense here:



Whatever... I'll just try to stay well out of arms reach.


Static'd this Palin, then orbed her masses.






This battle was easier than with my throwbarb because Orbs just go through everything. With Throwdown I had to herd what seems like hundreds of undead out into the cold plains. This time Blood Raven kept on running away from her hoards, which helped me get in fireballs. Teleport helped too.

Death to the Rouge!


Then, I discovered that the Mausoleum has only Lighting immune monsters... It may be possible to MF here, but it will still be at a huge risk. I have no merc, and even this dude can probably one-hit me (he came DAMN close)! If he had extra strong then Penelope would be dead.



I can barely afford to keep buying blue pots.

So the safest course of action will be to go MF in NM. First I'm going for two shael. One for merc armor upgrade, one for new Rhyme.

Then I need to get a bigger stick for my merc. I'm reconsidering my Plan wrt no Insight & no Spirit. I want to finish this walk sometime before D3 comes out, and it appears that even with those adds it still won't be easy.

We will see. It hasn't come to that yet though.

the wall your about to hit will be somewhere in a2 and it will be the fact that your merc cant survive & your mana does not cut it when spamming spells

if you strugle through a2 and get to meph then youll have to do some rerunning with meph. moat trick will net you the items you need if you have the patience (and i belive you do).

build your useing is able to cruise trough the game, but its the p8 that is creating the obsticles here :)


keep on it and hit the wall, then do the needed rerunning to return the wt. all in all you wont and dont need the insight from the merc. all you need from him is the tanking ability and that means def/leech/dr%&x. you'll be alot better of when you dont even get used to the manaregen of insight.

look for items with +skills and mana along with resist to keep you atleast at positive in hell. resist on the sorc is like def, your not planing on to get hit. thats what merc is for :)
