Oh that makes sense. For now Peace provides a strong lvl 15 Valk, but eventually I'll have to max it. I'll try to stay calm as well ^_^

New gloves


Found a 2os helm I like. Great Helm and Bone Helm also good great


I tried it, but it felt too slow. Still using Zephyr

Andy was a pain in the neck. The merc, Valk and Decoy wouldn't last more than 2 second each. The Ring was Cathan's


First thing I did in Act 2 was switching Mercs. Overall killing speed has improved by at least 100%. Feels good


Level 55. Still going well, but I had a few close calls. So, I started sharing stat points between dexterity and vitality

I did a P8 full clear untwinked single pass 1.14D run.

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=106220519&f=161

What I learnt is that Freezing Arrow (with multiple sources of +cold damage) is very good for crown control. More damage from might is better than some CC from holy freeze. And also please get some LR because gloams gave me PTSD. Max valk can pretty much solo norm to NM too, absurdly strong.

I have no experience with lawbringer barb merc, but if you're getting it solely for the decrep, may I suggest to gamble rare bows for CtC Amp instead. From my experience, every little bit of damage counts and you can't do without might merc in hell. First lem can be for Treachery instead.

You will start feeling the roadblock in hell.

Thanks for the advice. In fact, your post is the one that inspired me to try a single pass.
I'm trying pure physical damage though, so no Freezing Arrows, but I do rely on cold damage from charms and equipment.
I'll keep your suggestion about a rare CtC Amp bow in mind. Did you just shoot arrows until it proc'ed and then switched back to your main bow?


Will use these for the time being until I get some mana leech


Insight upgrade. Merc went from 800 max to 1200 max


Tediously crept through these tunnels with Azrael unwilling to follow

Yea. Shoot till Amp procs, then 4 volleys of strafe and repeat. I felt FA was necessary for crowd control, but then again I had an impatient style and was playing SC. All the best!

Got it. I'll try to find one on the way before spending all my gold on gambling

Merc's new armor


Everything is still going pretty well


Right set, wrong part. I need the gloves (Laying of Hands)

Will start wearing this from now on


Little upgrade. Linked mail with perfect defense


Level 60 in the 5th tomb. Progress has slowed down significantly here with all these revived Burning Dead

This is the best drop of the day :rolleyes:


NM Duriel was much easier than Normal. Valk is a tank


Nothing to write home about, but at least Act 2 is over

My own killing speed has become quite slow. Feels like Azrael and Valk are carrying this project on their backs


I've run into a few physical immunes. It takes forever. I'll start gambling bows to find one with CtC amp


Well, I might as well just wear this for the rest of NM. I should have actually done this earlier.
