sock q on ettin axe a waste, passion is 4os too, honor worse than upp butchers, imo get 2 pul an up them if you havent yet

yes suck it up and repair shako all the time or find arreats

Only problem has been finding that Pul rune, haha

Thanks for the advice

I'll be posting last night's progress when I get home from work.

New issue has come up. Is it worth it to add hard points into dexterity in order to use small crescents?

I have had no luck finding a single berserker ax, and the one ettin I found rolled terrible sockets. I am at 68 dex currently, and have no clue what to replace to get the additional dex I'd need to hit the required amount for a small crescent.

I have 2 stat/skill resets left. Is it worth it to use one so that I can use small crescents for now, and use the other when I finally find some better bases/weapons?

Some updates incoming. 29 images.

Started to get through Act 3 so I can run LK.
This dropped almost immediately


Maxed Shout!
Next we'll do Taunt I'm thinking.


I figure why not upgrade my Smoke.
550 defense upgrade!

Still trying for a 3 socket armor.
Really want Treachery for myself and merc!


Sadly, no luck.

This got me really excited


Turned out just to be a non-eth 2 socket.
Wish they had a different color for eth and socket, or that you could customize drop colors :/

Pretty cool find as I continue through Act 3.

Progress is slow and steady.
Need to improve my killing speed by a lot, haha




One day the reward will be worth it!

Level 87!


So many 2 and 4 socket armors.
I can feel the 3 sockets coming any minute now!


More progress

Finally made it!
Got really lucky with the map.
2 campfires, so I didn't have to reset my maps!



Started to run some LK.
I do this until I just can't do the repetitiveness any more
There's a great armor stand that drops these and dusk shrouds, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
Not this time though

If only I used a shield


LK finally paying dividends!!!


I considered upgrading my better Butcher's Pupil, but I'm short 15 dex to use it.
Debating re-statting at Akara as I have 2 left, but not sure if it's worth it.
Stashing it for now in case I find what I need for Oath.

Second one!
Maybe I should have been a Conc Barb

Pretty nice large charm dropped for me


Another LK unique.
Seems I have better luck doing this than running Pits haha



Gulzar is very happy with his new helm.
Much more defense, better leech, and now he has max fire resis!
