Found another white lance for imbue on the way into the barracks. I'm going to keep hold of it and wait until I hit lvl 66 to make sure I unlock more affixes

Progress is slow, especially against anything with some physical resistance (like zombies). Overall fairly straightforward though. Action shot vs. the smith:

Made it to cata 4, had to skip mobs here and there, things are getting dangerous. Let's see how hell andy goes ...

Got lucky and was able to clear the room of mobs (no crazy zombies)

The fight was super tough and dangerous, she absolutely destroys my valk and I cannot tank more than a couple of hits. I basically had to (hit hit, summon valk, mana pot) x inf. I think the open wounds helped here though:

After a long and scary fight she went down, and ofc didn't drop anything useful for me.

Given the difficulty of this fight, I really think I need to find myself some crushing blow. There are only two sources available for me iirc, which is goblin toe and rattle cage. Might have to try farming them.

Needed to farm a few levels for my imbue, so I found a nice shrine/elite setup close to dark woods wp that I can run repeatedly:

Another interesting drop occurs while farming:

afaik, this is the only source of dr% in classic. I'm not sure how useful it will be for me though, as my primary issue is with damage output. dodge/avoid/evade and my valk basically avoid a ton of damage already:

I'll keep it in the stash for now anyway ...

We hit level 66 and head back to town for our imbue.
By my calculation, clvl 66 + 4ilvl from imbue gives me ilvl70, which for a qlvl47 item lets me hit up to 180%ed and up to 40% ias.

Fingers crossed .. 100%ed+ would be very useful to me ...

omg ...

Complete trash! OK, one imbue left. I think even if that one goes wrong I might be able to take my current 80ed lance through hell if I at least find some cb ... let's try and find another base.

ty for the good luck, imbues tend to be super important for these classic melee ssf runs as you really need a decent exceptional roll to progress through hell, but alvls aren't high enough to give you what you need in nm. If the next imbue fails crushing blow will be necessary, but also I could try running super chests or weapon racks in A1/A2 hell for a lance, likely to be hell of a grind though.

still, we keep going!
