get glacial spike to lvl 1 and freeze them

glacial spikefreeze duraration in hell is very low, i would use a holy freeze merc will help fo sho

I will
gonna start him off tonight :3

gonna be fun, havent played through the game in ages


and my advice would be: go for the freeze merc, itll also give him a little bit of cold dmg fot those annoying fire imunes (and later maybe physical imunes?)

Using Glacial Spike alrdy every now and again, but it's not the right skill to use, when you want to fight yourself, too.
But it's a great spell, in situations where merc has to do the whole thing. I will keep it, no matter what



Thanks for input. Decision made



Ardy found your WT. Will comment any time later


SO first thing I did today, was changing my merc.
It took a while to get a freezer merc with the same name as before. Wanted to stick to Ahsab
He's only lvl 75 now, but that's not to bad, since even with lvl 80 the merc could not wear Bonehew.

You can see me here in another CS run, basicly because I don't have enough time to complete the cow lvl right now.
Found this helmet, which I use over Lore right now. Keeping lore for precasting until I get something better.
Therefor I needed some space in my stash, so I decided it's time to put on the LoH and sell my tripple 2x% res gloves.
Wore them quite a while lol.


Later in that run...BAM!
Now, that's great. I can make a Treachery now!
...But... I really don't know if this would be the correct choice. I wanted to have it right from the start because of it's nice dmg reduction, resistances, venom dmg
and ias which is very important for me... but it provides NO FRIGGIN LIFE.
Where Lionheart provides 170 life in my case... (+50 life, 20 viality = 40 life, 25 str = 50 life, 15 dex = 30 life).
I don't have to worry right now, because I'm still lacking of a 3 os Armor but still... I don't really now which armor would be better for me but I tend to Lionheart
and maybe a Treachery for my merc...
Or passion would still be an option... Zeal is not interruptable which would be great and the additional AR is nice, too.
But it clearly lacks light dmg, which I really want and need on my weapon in the long run.

See you soon

Nice progress, i won't make a passion if i were you. Zeal could be deadly without enough IAS.

ya i would only use passion if your using treachery as well.


zoff its about time you found that lem

Since I don't have any +skills on my current equip, Zeal would only deal 2 hits. I think, I could handle this relativle short time in which I can not move.
But I don't like Passion in this untwinked built too much anyways.



True
But now I have some more stuff to think about *gg

It's about time for an update, so here we go!

Anyone still interested in reading this? At least I still have fun playing her, so here we go with the next update!


I had some playtime yesterday evening, so I decided to gice the Cow Level another try.


Good news: Cows take serious damage by me, since they don't have any resistances. It's really fun how fast they die.
Bad news: I'm taking very serious damage by them, too. Have to pot after every non-blocked hit pregtty much.
~200 life per hit I think.


As you can see, I discovered quite a bit already. Moving slow, luring one pack after the other.
If the pack was to big, I used Lifetab, Staticfield and Glacial Spike for best effort. But most of the time
I could go without.

The Cow King himself All alone^^


Only crap besides his tasty milk.
Ever realised that the cow KING drops MILK?
So basicly it has to be a cow QUEEN orit's something else, what he actually drops


This guy was actualy in the same pack as the Cow King plus double the minions.
It was some work to seperate them. But yeah, it worked

Next and final boss inside the cowlevel.
Getting surrounded here is very very dangerous... not to say deadly.
Monster Flee helped a ton here, to prevent that.
Plus Teleport imo is by far the strongest skill in this game. But since I have crappy block speed
and low fhr and fcr it can get difficult to make a safety teleport.


Omg YEAH!! Pretty much only a handfull of cows left in this level and then I get this.
So darn happy!!


All your base are belong to us!
