Lots of things to socket later.

Homunculus if u use that shield.
Shako
Guliman helmet for merc
Viper magi


If it were me, I would not waste socket quest for a spirit sword for sure.
Polearm in act 5 could get 4 socket from cube or socket quest for insight also.

On players1 it probably wouldnt matter either way tho.

Ok, you convinced me. I also realized that it's unlikely to get the necessary runes before i farm nightmare Countess, so i'm going to be patient.

Time to complete act 4

Gotta keep the tradition to start a new act with gambling. That belt took around 20 gambles, i'm satisfied with it.



Gambled a few poleaxes, but that was a complete waste, i'll have to find another way to improve Emilio's damage



No more gambling, Outer Steppes cleared!

Good riddance Izual, i'll see you in nightmare



Good find for later



Plains of Despair is history

Possible Treachery base, but i'll probably find something much better in nightmare. Keeping this for now.



That damned City of the Damned is huge, i'm already sick of it



But it's done

Is this gonna be the legendary weapon that will slay the Prince of Darkness?



....damn!



Ok, let's try this again shall we...

You son of a bitch!



Third time's a charm, fingers crossed...



Yes... but also, NO! He won't be able to use that anytime soon. Well that was a failed experiment... and it cost mi a lot of gold.

Chopping down Hephasto



Seriously game? You're doing this to me again?



River of Flame almost done

We arrived! Act 4 is going very smooth so far.



Emilio dies to Infector of Souls! That got me scared for a moment, but skeletons stood up for the challenge and took the fight to Infector and his friends



I think decrepify is the better choice when dealing with these guys

how far off in str/dex is he for the partizan? some flawless/perf amethyst/emeralds can go a long way.

Can't remember how i usually solo Diablo with my summoners, done it multiple times, i have a funny idea it's unfortunately mostly the merc doing the work.
Some throwing javelins and amp can do some reasonable damage.

That and towning multiple times.


Trying to locate a 4os sword in NM can be time consuming with only players 1. With players 8 i'd say it happens almost every time before you hit act3. The tower is possibly your best bet, checking all the chests/weapon spots.



good luck
