That makes sense, I find it to be an infrequent thing on non-tele/pre-Enigma characters. Certainly keeps things interesting

There 's a way to make it happen fast, act 1 last WP before barracks (inner cloister ?) there's the big door from the baracks you can entrer, close it, go forward and wait for the merc to tele.

Merc is protected, on the other hand, you get all the focus !

I started nightmare and had completed 10 countess runs. Griswold dropped a great new truncheon (the elite club) with 77% enhanced damage and some other gear but I screwed up when saving it. I lost my truncheon (helped TREMENDOUSLY) a nice rare ring, and a bunch of dol/ko/hel runes.

I'll start again later tonight but let me say this once again:

##J!#KJ$!K$!K$J$J

Out of bitterness I'm posting what I lost.

Griswold dropped this and losing this was devastating to me. It probably doubled my kill speed. Damage went from 45-219 with the 'ralralral' flail to 309-371 with the truncheon. Thats a big increase.



In the tower but not at the countess

I don't know if I could have used this but I liked it.




Another big loss. I almost sold it because I thought it said "enhanced defense".



I've never seen this before.

This was useless to me but it was one hell of an amulet for a sorc.




Thats it for tonight folks. My last save point was in the cold plains so I'll pick up there tomorrow and pretend that this crap didn't happen. After a pathetic act 5 I was loving the drops in act 1. C'est la vie.

Sorry for your loss Scooter , that truncheon was an interesting drop for act1 nm. Did you leave items on the ground when saving and exiting? Sadly I've lost a few nice items that way.

I was playing a game and then minimized diablo 2 so I could do a zoom meeting. After the meeting I didn't realize that the game was minimized in the taskbar so I started diablo 2 up again and played that game for a few hours. That is where I got the truncheon and those other items. Then I save and exit just as normal. Then I see the other game still minimized so I open it up and save and exit there...losing all of the progress and items that I had made in the last few hours. Stupid.

Lets start this again shall we. NM act 1

Down to P3



First sol right of the bat in the blood moor. Lore?



You guys suggested I use sigons gloves. Lo and behold sigons gloves in the den. 30% IAS and 10 life leech is nothing to sneeze at.

I couldn't get a great picture of it but this was two boss packs and a champion pack. Very dangerous.



I'll take these guys down here. You take Griswold.



Fine. I'll help. (he dropped crap)
