Found a base for SPIRIT, had to dump a few stat points into DEX to use though.



This is the worst possible roll, practically rock bottom



Andariel time!!

O god what unique ring is this...turned out to be a MANALD and a bad roll too



Two unique armor drops, both for merc! He is using the gothic plate right now (RATTLE CAGE)



Andariel is not too hard but she is killing my merc and not going down fast enough. It is draining all my gold to farm her. I will move on for now, if I can make it to ACT 3 I am confident I can get some nice upgrades and come back to her. Who knows, by then I may even have all the gear I need. On to RADAMENT.

War Scythe is last in the normal (basic) grade polearm sequence


They are not terrible considering you have and at your disposal.
Still, beware of Fire Enchanted, Mana Burn etc.

Ah yes you are correct! I did not realize war scythe was still normal. I am staying far far away from unique packs! My resistances have improved as you will see in the next few posts.

Our mana problems will be over soon, my son



worst roll ever! Second runeword in a row that sucked.



What's this???

Skin of the Vipermagi

It's a decent roll too! At least on the resists. I wanted the MDR to be a 12 or 1 13 though. I will not socket this one just yet, I will wait to see if a better roll drops by the end of NM. Otherwise, I think I will socket it with a SOL rune...what do you guys think? A decent substitute for GLAD BANE? Or should I wait for GLAD BANE?



Getting the staff now



Dark Elder spawns right next to this waypoint...cool

Snakes...glacial spike is a good counter to their unblockable charge.



Summoner...took 4 tries to find him



Why couldn't this be SORC skills???

FAIL amu #4 (safety amu)



Duriel...was easy, but drops were absolute POO



I had a couple HELs so I did some countess reruns to reroll SPIRIT and INSIGHT

Much better aura level, I am refilling mana faster. I'll keep rolling whenever I get a better base. Trying to get a level 17 med aura as I want my mana regen to eventually be over 1100%



And here is a slightly better spirit, +6% on the FCR, the other stats were a bit MEH



And we're off to ACT 3!!

Superchest green amulet..what could it be?? Can it be Tal? NOPE. it was VIDALA.







These are great. Free up some charms (12 FHRs), a little bit of life...what can beat these? Maybe magefists?

Finally found a broad sword base for SPIRIT, after I dumped a bunch of pts ints DEX to use long sword.



Hey not bad! I am WELL over 63 FCR now, so I can use whatever amulet I want now (also using double MANALD rings)



OH GOD...WHY?? This was so close to being the perfect MEMORY base, which is one of my holy grail items for this walkthrough. It just needed one more socket and I would have been happy. I can't find these at any vendor.
