Speaking of boots...





Tossed the other craft pair and Sanders, going with these instead now

Second Bladebuckle, with a small defense improvement.



Second Frostburn, ethereal. Bannon is growing weary of dealing with the same things over and over again. He doesn't like to repeat himself as much as his puppet Trump does.



Rare Serpentskin Armor

Re-rolled the map to add in Mephisto - new map is good for Durance 3 and still decent enough for Catacombs.

This was not Guillaume's Face



First +skill crafted amulet - wrong class



Rare Bone Helm... (Recall that although Bannon will never use it, finding Wormskull is one of my goals)

Loving the alliteration here



A truly great pair of gloves - don't need them for Bannon (right now at least)



Still nothing useful... getting decent EXP though on Mephisto

The universe (or the Russians) are telling Bannon to keep crafting...



Not bad for a melee character, but tossed it.



Doing lots of runs and getting no reward is a Rite of Passage... leveled up on the kill

Nope - not enough sockets



Rare Grim Wand... (Recall that although Bannon will never use it, one of my goals is to find Ume's Lament too )



Didn't keep it due to space concerns - in the event Bannon needs to do pre-Enigma teleporting he's willing to risk it to gamble an amulet or shop a staff.

Got bored of all the nothing, and decided to press forward. Mizan is getting stronger, just in time on the River of Flame



WHAT?! Oh man, Mizan... you thought you were getting stronger before?!



Immediately cast a town portal to turn this...

Into this!



Left side was easy



Middle was fine too - extra fast De Seis fled the scene

But he backed himself into a corner, quite literally.



Right side was also extra fast, used decrepify but was not feeling safe enough to think to stop for a screenshot.

Diablo surrounded, Mizan in position so the big zap doesn't hit him. Bannon is training him well to be as snake-like as he is.



Done!

Carving hearts is another pastime of Bannon's.



Javelin cats pack some serious damage, but Dim Vision is just too good. Aldur weapon drop.



Bannon is the Overseer... not Shenk
