1. Council down, not too difficult – cleared entire area around them then separated as much as possible, made sure I wasn't in melee for that fire enchanted one to explode!

2. Meph down – he seemed really squishy! He dropped the Sigons gloves in the previous sets pic.

1. Izual taking a war-hammer to the kidneys!

2. Decent rune and perfect topaz! Could definitely have been worse.

3. Level 40 stats going into Chaos Sanctuary.

1. Diablo and his drops, muled the bow and binned the rest. As tempting as a zeal barb is I’ll pass for now.

Iron maiden wasn’t much of an issue in here this time; probably because my damage is utter fucking bollocks.

2. Onto Act Five – Shenk getting rattled.

As an aside note; I'd been saving pics into a word document with some notes next to them as I went so that I didn't forget why I'd taken them,
however it seems that in doing that it vastly reduced the quality of the screenshot, so they'll look a bit better and bigger from here on out I guess.
Noticed this cause of how hard it was to read the stat page in previous uploads. Apologies for putting your eyes through that!

1. Realised that I was still wearing Isenhart’s breastplate, so switched it out for CBF, probably would've been useful in the Chaos Sanctuary but oh well!

2. Main mule update, low runes are really piling up and they're pretty useless as can't combine them, but can't bring myself to share them with Charsi.

1. Was thankful that Gulzar went in guns blazing with Sharptooth as he got immediately one-shot with battle-orders rolling.
Sharptooth did just insane amounts of damage, got him to 3/4 health and bailed -- way too dangerous.

2. Anya saved and a decent reward again! Shame about the poison resist but will use in future if nowt else comes up, but my strength is a good ways off.

1. Ancients weren't too dangerous, the big annoyance was Korlic's phys immune however got him down slowly but surely with berserk.

2. Was excited to get a level or two again, but had no clue they would level me up from 43-49. Absolutely insane.

Don't remember it being as much on Sorc! Edit: looked back at my Sorc notes and she got 47-51, I guess I farmed a lot more XP on her pre-Ancients.
Very chuffed with that, I wonder how many levels I'll get from Hell Ancients if we get that far.

Have intentionally avoided Nihlathak up until now, will give it a bash and see how it goes, hopefully with enough HP stacked up I won't be a 1-shot RIP.

1. One C/E was doing around ~600-800 (~1/2 of hp) dmg I think – so this was really scary,
Maybe the end goal for this run should be doing Nihlathak in Hell, as I certainly won’t be doing him without near perfect gear and life stacking!

2. More scariness!! All the other waves were a bit of a joke though, so that's something.

3. Was expecting this to be a lot worse than it was, on my sorceress main damaging ability did -80% with one hit, though way better on barb with a good amount of hp.
Think it has a 5% chance to double up on damage too, dunno the reason why - crits or deadly strike?

1. Yay! Getting somewhere, slowly!

Decided going into Hell would be an absolute disaster so headed back to LK Nightmare to maybe try some racking.
Also props to me for managing to get cursor right over the name...

2/3. Couple of drops whilst looking for a useful rack!

Just for some background info for those who might not know: racks have a fixed drop based on the map seed, but can vary based on the path taken to get to them, and a couple of other factors like if you opened another rack nearby etc. The main point is though that you can constantly repeat the drop from a rack given you follow the same path and the drop chances are: 1/1000 for Unique -> 1/200 for Rares -> 1/125 for Sets and 1/30 for Magics, and they check in that order.
So really not that bad odds to get the item you're looking for.
Edit: At least that's what I've been able to gather from old threads, please correct me if any info seems to be incorrect!!

1. So at this point had been looking for a good rack for a long time without luck (I’m a wee bit further on with barb than the screenshots.)
Finally got a decent drop with the gladius and the map only took around 20 seconds in total per run. Dual blood-letters would have been awesome…
However without noticing what I was doing I clicked Hell and alas the map was lost to the void. Was pretty gutted as I’d done 550ish runs which took a good 3 hours of solid running. :\

2. Gambled some amulets has I'd hit gold cap on character, absolutely atrocious though as this was the best one.

3. More set items while looking for another decent map.

1. Took a day off after the gladius map blunder but resumed map rolling and eventually got this one to pop.
Cleaver map is what I'd originally hoped on getting in Nightmare so was chuffed to bits - especially since it was an exact replica of the previous map, ~20s per run.

2/3. Some crappy rares along the way; runs #131 and #146.
