You're at that wall every solo self found char hits in early hell, where you simply need better gear, but can't easily farm it (unless you're a sorc).

It's common for people to settle into pit runs (200+) mixed with Andy, countess, and any other areas with decent mobs. You could try to work in arcane runs if you want to push for it, good place for high runes. Again, we're talking hundreds or more runs to typically aquire mid-end game gear, but sometimes you get lucky.

You could also run nm cows if you enjoy that, good chance you find your fall, but I don't think you can get many elite bases (someone more knowledgeable should confirm).

Lot of words, all this to say you're doing great, but now you either commit to the grind or get risky with a tele staff and push to LK for 5000 runs and carpal tunnel syndrome. I suggest the former

Bruh... that gear lmfao... how are you still alive?? hahahah

My sorc def has had a few scares too but I geared up kinda decently before coming into Hell. Also, let me save you some time--don't bother looking for a Zon skiller. Any time you hoping for a certain class/tree, it never rolls. I've rolled/IDed soooo many and I have gotten every single type of skiller except the Fire one that I need. It gets depressing after a while :(

But great work getting to A2!!! Tbh, my sorc breezed thru A2 but was a struggle every step of the way w/ A1. But you def need to start doing some pits or something lol. My god you're gear is impressively bad. I've been running Stony Tomb a whooooooole bunch cause there are 0 FIs outside of an occasional champion. And great drop on the 5os eth Thresher!! I actually got one too and made "Obedience." It's def worth it! But you will lose the "Insight" which is a bite... load up on some extra mana pots! Anyways, good work out here. It's kinda fun following along w/ another WT that is pretty much right on pace w/ my own. GL buddy


Hahaaha, I think I set up a new challenge for me, keep grinding without farming for equip and update on any upgrade on the run. Let's see how far I can go with that shitty stuff. Love the Zon, she pretty strong. Maybe I can run till the endgame with that build? LMAO

Totally agree with Astro!
So far, you're not that Slow... but surely Steady and a bit suicidal :blink: :lol:

Stay safe


TBH, this was the only ''risk'' I take with the zon and it was n2b of a calculations. I get the 2 bosses out of the path and after I tele in from the other side. Pop a clone in front of me + merc + valk and I have about 50%dodge + 50%block, I was litterally standing in place and didnt take much dmg. I set up the next tp to the cube and had time to grab chest and take staff. I seems really risky on the s/s, but honestly it wasnt THAT bad :P

But yeah, no more tp like this cause the more I go on the game, the harder it will be!

Yeah, I think I push myself and that Zon class to the limit. Lets see how It can run with a ''slow and steady'' pace lol. I wont farm back a lot, i'll keep pushing a bit (well, id try) and see what gonna happend. I really hate farming the same zone again and again so ... let's have some fun on the run and see what gonna happend on the next weeks :D

I love the sanctuary. This view is just amazing :drool: Also high HR chance to drop from ghost and a really great area for light casters.



And ... when I find a good farming spot, I obv find it at the first try loll... I may come back a little here, was really fun and easy to go through tbh



Summoner down. Next step, Duriel! :)

Aiiight, lets do it, where can I go with a slow and steady pace with that trash stuff lmao. Zon are legit good af But my gear is SO Bad, even my merc is trash lmao



The shortest Duriel Tomb map ever ...? :blink:



Stats before the fight, no pots



At least she always focus on my clone when I spawn it. Didnt even have to town once. Pretty smooth fight. Was expecting way worse than that! And ... Rip the shako, that would be defenetly a master piece on my trash build loll

Well, whe I face LR again, my team is here. I sometimes Jab a little bit, but my stuff is so crap that I do about like 80-100 damage .. Also, interesting fact, but this little squad was struck like that. Dunno if its a zon thing, but this is not the first time its happenning...? :unsure:



Be sure to clear everything around, cause they are fast af and some are LR ... didnt want to get in a bad position here and have to rerun everything!



Quest complet! - Forgot to take s/s of the ring but hey, dont get too hype, cant be an upgrade cause my gear is bad till the end I guess lol
