Hammer (fanat arua but lured most of the others before i got to him and amp'd kicked his ass too, merc needed a couple pots tho)


Um rune is the best NM forge ive gotten since i've started single player walks



Finished off that level to Reach level 62..

um rune

Duress? Whatcha gonna do with it?

Pretty sure Duress is the best option at this point to use UM rune in..

Duress --- Shael + Um + Thul

+40% Faster Hit Recovery Will help alot
+10-20% Enhanced Damage (varies) ED always helps
Adds 37-133 Cold Damage 2 sec. Duration (Normal) Slows them but kills the find item ability
15% Chance of Crushing Blow Always a + for melee
33% Chance of Open Wounds Always a + for melee
+150-200% Enhanced Defense (varies) Got to be better than my Cuirass Myth armor
-20% Slower Stamina Drain
All res +15 is a nice bonus
Cold Resist +45%
Lightning Resist +15%
Fire Resist +15%
Poison Resist +15%


But the biggest bonus i would get from this armor is.........

Losing the taunt curse from myth, that way my amp will stay out there on mobs

Hel'd my myth armor, no other nice defense plate could drop more than 20 more defense until act 5 so i stuck with this...








Maybe i can retry meph again soon to see if its any faster..
Maybe i could try tanking now with nice lite/cold/psn res now

nice progress on this

Rune drop chances from Hell's Forge are as follows:

Normal has 1:11 chance for each of these: El Rune [r01] - Amn Rune [r11]
Nightmare has 1:11 chance for each of these: Sol Rune [r12] - Um Rune [r22]
Hell has 1:11 chance for each of these: Hel Rune [r15] - Gul Rune [r25]


Blizzard somehow managed to apply a negative sign to the Slower Stamina Drain bonus on Duress, thereby turning it into +20% Stamina Drain.
It is the only item in the game with negative Slower Stamina Drain: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Stamina_Drain

GL with Andariel and Mephisto. And... don't forget to hork the High Council

Tried mephisto again- still takes about 5-10 minutes to kill..

So ive started running NM LK for some gems/charms, Hoping for some Nice Damage/AR charms.
Then i started running travical..

Travical is pretty safe considering i seperate and kill them..

Advantages of travical : Soo many items i could use, just shit odds of finding them..
Flawless Gems (for crafting)
Lem rune 1:26882
Deathbit 1:29396
Arreats 1:731897
Duriels shell 1:32914
Gores 1:405227
Razortail 1:53374
Rockstopper 1:53093
Shaftstop 1:68774
Strings 1:33072
Gaze 1:133129
Goblin toes 1:22231
Gulli 1:32076
Tals helm 1:7941

Item find popped it...

3 Of these damn champs with others surrounding takes forever to kill unless u seperate them





Ignore the different stats than before (had 106% mf gear on)
