Ancients down.
I managed to split them up and take 1 out then with just 2 left it was easy.

Baal down.
I'm flat broke now, it took at least 100k gold in potions to kill him. Wave 1-4 was easy enough with Howl but I could not use it against wave 5, so I lured them outside the throne room and ran back to get into Baal.
My damage is BAD.



The unique boots he dropped.

There we go!
Normal difficulty is done, and it was not that HARD, just SLOW. My damage f'cking sucks right now, having zero luck with the savage crafts and gambling for better weapons.
Howl is very OP, I don't need to engage any enemies I don't want to with Howl+Leap at my disposal.

In my fight against Baal I noticed something. Berserk doesn't procc life och mana leech, can anyone confirm? It doesn't matter that much yet because my mana runs out really fast, hoping for Insight soon.

I feel my gear is very strong going into Nightmare (except the weapon), so I may farm some normal Diablo or something on P1 and hope for some nice drops. Depends on how Nightmare feels.
I also killed Cow King on P8, forgot to take a picture. Had to howl everything away, mercenary died instantly and I struggled a lot. Those cows got a mean right hook.

All in all, still having very fun. As always, advice and taunting is very welcome. :D

Nightmare here I come!

Berserker unstoppable char!!


Haha I don't know about that. :D This WT is making me think about the old saying: "Slow and steady wins the race"

Who knows, maybe advice is not needed at all. You crushed the Normal p8 almost alone with a weak mercenary at level 37 without having maximum resists. You're a man :thumbsup:

Regarding your question, your observation was right - berserk will not proc any ll or ml because it is converted to pure magic damage, which will not proc these :)
