Not great, but it would still be an upgrade. I'll hold on to it.



Blood ring attempt #2:



Trash!

Safety amulet attempt #2:



Not bad! Much better than my first attempt.



Block with new amulet.

Safety amulet attempt #3:



The last one was better.



Safety amulet attempt #4:

Love the resists...wish it had more block.



Ran Normal Baal a few times looking for upgrades, eth + self-rep incoming?!?



Nope.

Another potential Rhyme base...slightly better resists and armor, but worse chance to block. I think I'll keep mine.



This would do nicely though!!!



Smith down.

Rolling a map for gem shrine hunting and I found this beauty. Three shrines close enough to fit on one screen, right next to the waypoint!



Unfortunately I haven't had any luck finding a better rare, so I'm going to upgrade my crappy hammer.



Nice damage

Damage pretty much doubled!



Blood gloves attempt #2:



Pretty bad.

Blood gloves attempt #3:



Somehow even worse than last time!



Safety amulet attempt #5:

So close yet so far.



Crossing my fingers for 2 sockets.

Andy was easy enough! On to Act 2.



Grabbed a Might merc right away.



Damage with Might + Fanaticism. Still need a new weapon!
