Shenk done.



Ist during an LK run.



Nice - first shape shift skiller. I stashed it, but don't know, if I will ever use it.

Progressing in act 5 made me encounter boss soul groups like these - thankfully I have 75 light res, so I somehow was able to kill this group.



Approaching Anya ...



... and saving her Crappy reward, though.

And some more grailers I found along the way.

Random Mal in Frozen Tundra.



Starting ancients. I had to reroll a few times, until I got a manageable roll.

Done Not even reaching a new level, though.



Throne of Destruction welcoming me with some souls



Random Lum.

Wave 1 was fast, wave 2 gave me a little trouble.



Wave 3 was okay-ish.



Wave 4 was surprisingly easy.

I was relieved to see that Lister was not phys immune. I was able to split them into 2 groups; this way it was okay. It took some time to kill each mob, though.



Finally - Baal! During the fight, I switched my merc's weapon back to hustle to make him do a bit more damange and leech more due to faster attack speed. The fight took about ~18 minutes and I had to tp a lot of times. I was never in real danger, though.



Done!

Drops definitely not worthy for p8 HC, but I won't complain At least the shield is a grailer.

I finished the game with lvl 90. Best item I am equipping is an upped vipermagi. The rest is some unspectacular stuff, mostly with resistances, skill, and +life.



Skill point allocation.



Quite a nice rune stash (from Lum to Gul)

Doing some TZs and found my first unique GC ... Fire sunder? Gheeds?



Mh, at least a grailer ...



Next chance from TZ Andariel (I only killed her once, she is way too hard for me right now ...)
