Surprisingly easy, traps obliterated the skellies (level 5 DS with level 5 LS synergy)

So, Lister and his pack actually out-regen'd my damage. I couldn't melee them face to face because with their stun/kb they are too strong for that. Didn't want to pull them out 1-by-1 in Normal mode haha, the shame. But my traps simply did not beat their regen.


So I went back to town and spent a couple mins shopping this at Anya. I also found 2x +1 sin claws in that time which are on swap now for casting Shadow and BoS.

The PMH claw allowed traps to chip away at the pack until it was a small enough size to engage with melee, at which point the CB kicks took them down just fine. I was surprised though, this was one of the tougher battles I have ever had in Norm.

Destroyer Mikasa!



That's where I'm at now. Tomorrow I'll start running NM Countess, there's quite a bit I want to get from her :/ I will probably have to stay there for a whole day or two. Wanting to get: shael/pdia to upgrade boots, and runes for 'black', 'smoke', 'rhyme', and 'lore'. If I have enough time, hopefully I'll be able to make all that stuff tomorrow and then be ready to move forward to NM Meph or further!

She will be a Dragon Talon/Death Sentry assassin with a heavier focus on DT (kicks). For the most part, DS will just be there for physical immunes and for corpse explosion but it will definitely be useful in hairy situations as well. These sins usually use Rift or Stormlash I think. I won't have access to Rift, and if Stormlash comes at all it wouldn't be until like level 95+ anyways I'm sure. So I'm not totally sure what to do for weapon, but I figure a Black flail or especially a +3 death sentry base claw with Strength runeword in it could take me a long way. Crescent Moon could be nice once I hit Hell Countess.


Lawbringer is sick for kick/trapper :) gl

That's ladder only!!

Anyways, I died in Tristram NM lol. My mistake, I was amped and in the middle of a crowd, had 75 life left and had game paused in s/e screen. Thought I could get away if I unpaused but I died instantly after the unpause.

I was kind of iffy about continuing anyways. I did enjoy it for norm but it's definitely not really my preferred playstyle. So much running around/preparing/setting things up for every battle. I'm too lazy for that haha. I'd really like to remake my first-ever sp char which was a ww barb who eventually completed IK set, but I don't think I have time for it with summer coming up. We will see! If I do another one soon, I won't even post it whatsoever until I reach Hell a1 lol. That way I can be sure that I actually want to play the char/won't get bored of it
