One point away from maxing shout now.
Next will be taunt I think, up that frenzy damage


The end to the mag lair was just insane.
This took me almost 15 minutes to clear because of all the damn spawns.
The fana aura Coldworm had just made it that much worse


I think I'm going to run some more pits before going further.
Really want a good upgrade.
Currently looking for eth 4 socket axe, eth 5 socket polearm, 3 socket armor, and eth 3 socket armor.
Long term I want an eth 5 socket axe to make death in.
I have an ettin ax that can get 5 sockets for beast, not sure if that's the best base to make it in though

well man gratz u are progressign so damn quickly

Watched your epic battle with clone--nice reward, good 10% anni. I couldn't see the weps. I'm sure you have pics up. How do you get such big stash?

Thanks man!
Really enjoying it.



The weapons were 2 crafted nagas.
One Strength runeword for crushing blow, the other is Malice runeword for the prevent monster heal.

Thanks for checking out the video!

Also, pm'd about stash

Still trying to find runes/bases for upgrades.
With Drac's, my survivability is pretty great, but the kill speed is soooo slow haha.

Ran pits/countess a good amount, enough to level again.
Shout is now maxed. I think I'm going to put points into taunt now, to increase frenzy damage.


Cubed an archon plate. Got 2 sockets. O well, better than the usual 4


Decided to make a new smoke as I had the runes just sitting around doing nothing.
BIG defense upgrade. Chance to be hit dropped to under 30% for most mobs now

Decided to try and progress some more.
This dropped got me really excited


Only regular 2 sockets though, haha.
Wish ethereal and sockets had different colors.
Or that there was a way to customize the drop's colors

Vipers were easy. Life tap > snakes FTW


Ran through to the Arcane Sanctuary.
Soooo many phys immunes here. Not going to be fun

Ran up one direction, and hated every second of it, and said screw it, lets try and get better gear first.
Back to countess/pits and adding the ancient tunnels to my runs.
Thinking about using valk as my helm to decrease my MF so more items are plain/eth
This dropped on one of the first runs. Better than nothing



This dropped from a weapon rack.
If my bad luck continues, I'm thinking about rolling it for sockets and aiming for oath.
Can't decide if that's a good idea, or if I should wait for an elite base.
Maybe I'll decide when I have all the runes I need

Best drop from Countess
She just doesn't love me after that early Ist


Found this in the pits.
Sooooo close


It isn't glitched, but still not bad.
Can't decide if I should bite the bullet and make treachery out of it if I can get Gulzar a few more str.

Back to the dreaded sanctuary.
Of course, it was the 4th way as usual
With all the phys immune, I just leaped passed everything.
It would have taken me days if I hadn't haha

Best 3 socket armor I have found so far.
Really want a better base than this.
Stashed in case I just can't find better and need to make treachery to progress
Extended stash


On to Duriel.
Very easy fight, but also very slow

Updated goals


Short Term
Run to LK, find a good map with 2 campfires, and do as many runs as I can before wanting to shoot myself.
Find the following bases

• Eth 3 socket armor - Gulzar's Treachery
  
• 3 socket armor - My Treachery
  
• 3 socket ax - My Crescent Moon
  
• Eth 4 socket ax - My Oath
  
• Eth 4 or 5 socket polearm - Gulzar's Insight/Obedience
  

Find the following runes to make the above runewords all possible

• Lem
  
• Pul
  
• Mal
  

Long Term
Farm Meph for Arreat's Face and Verdungo's Hearty Cord
Kill Hell Baal
Find an Eth 5 socket ax to make Death in
Find the following runes

• Lo - Gulzar's Fort
  
• Vex/Gul - My Death
  
• Ber/Mal - My Beast
  

Current Issues and Question (Please help me out )
1. Is Beast/Death the best combo for me to be using? Also considering Fury and Grief. Doom/BotD/LW might also be nice, buy I'm never going to have the runes for that haha
2. For whichever combo is best, what are the weapon bases I should aim to make them in?
3. What should my end-game armor be? Considering Treachery, Fortitude, Enigma, and CoH.
4. If my very very late end game goal is to kill the Ubers, are there any items I should be looking for and holding on to?
5. Should I hold on to my ettin ax for beast, or should I just try and socket it with cube now, and if it gets 5 sockets, make Honor or Passion in it? Was thinking about passion for the Heart of Wolverine charges. Dunno how easily it would die, but could be a good overall AR and damage boost for me and Gulzar. If ettin is the best base for Beast, I could always just use my socket quest in NM to get 5 sockets, and hel it when I can make Beast.
6. My shako breaks ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Seriously, it broke 6 times clearing out the tomb finding Duriel. Is there anything I can do, or just bite the bullet and stop bitching because I was lucky enough to find one and should just be grateful?
