Met our match in this guy. He hurts. Jemali wanted to skip him but I couldn't let him live. He's deserves death.



Took FOREVER! Kept towning. Amp'd him. Took a few hits while knocking him up side the head with Skull Edge. Put his carcass in the wall!



These guys are not as much trouble. Can be had on the party though.

Got him amped and killed too fast for the screenshot.



nothing simple. These guys hurt.


Cleared the whole damn place.

Oh well. Used up a lot of money. Was close to 2 million. Been selling stuff to keep above the 1 million mark.



Showing this shot because that Staff was very hard to make! So tired. Maybe the toughest monster was these guys:



They really mess up the party. The mummy urn is just impossible to bust and fast to produce. I couldn't keep up. Plus there were lots of beetles and fireballers making matters worse. Had to leave them by luring away from the door to the room with the urn...they blocked the way. So there were four monster types down there. Time for a rest.

Good progress man. Gratz on conquering the Maggot Hole and Rashas Tomb.

Careful in the Countess tower, my last 2 heros rip'd there by nasty archers.

Oh man that maggot lair s/s with a room full of nasty maggots is crazy... I almost started a wolf myself. Maybe next time ;-)
GL!

My Titan's know how deadly the forgotten Tower can be. But that death shot of your guy was fresh in mind. I hate those countess reruns. I suppose Pits is just a bit worse but you don't have to worry about changing levels and being blasted by arrows...not to mention it's p8 always in pits. I'll do pits with a CTA and Fort/enigma. That was a brutal death you suffered.



I just caught up with your staff only sorc. Hell of a run. I kind of quit d2 for awhile and last I saw your dear Nihofee was staff only. I loved picking it up after the mele sorc was born. You earned the right to be...mele She is a killer! I went through the whole thing. I like that you are rolling those rare diadems still. That anni! And the ... great torch[es]. Epic run. All three maggot lairs looked alike. i suppose they started procreating as soon as the wolf starting approaching...which took forever in each case. So many itchies to wade through in the vicinity. Hope he can keep going.

So, here is the final battle:



It's going well. But had to tp out about 7 or 8 times. He doesn't mind the merc at all. Goes only for the summons and then the wolf. But I can't stay around all day letting the merc do the work. Duriel was the easy part. I did the thaws with merc and wolf. Kept bear up and other summons. The skill, feral rage is great. Leeches nicely. I only have 3 points in it. Also three in dire wolf for bear life. The bear still goes poof. At least Duriel hated the vine and HoW just as much. He didn't like the old crow either. Jemali kept pounding away with his fast 200 ed rare yari. Well, had one near death cuz i tried to finish him off.



He's going down, right?



Yup. I was nervous. I think Dragon Jade was worse though. He really did get the wolf's heart a few times.

Poopy.

To illustrate the benefits of fool's mod:


That is the crafted feral axe...220+ ed with 10 life leech mod.



That is with the fools mod...that thing is great. I should toss the feral craft. But it's dear.

Recap of items used:
Glove:

Belt:

Footware:


Three crafted items. Nothing great but don't need ias on glove and the belt needs good life mod and that is great. The boot is tri res with 30 r/w. i like it.

Huge find in rings:


I needed some mana leech. I have a 25 all res 6ml ammy but prefer this:


other ring:

Good fit cuz I need cold res.

Looks like a pretty good setup. I've never played a werewolf Druid, what would the "ideal" weapon setup look like for you?
