Been a while since I did a HC P8 walkthrough, giving this another go. No real plans for the Assassin, will start as fire/light trap and maybe switch to MA in hell. Who knows

Rules:
-Hardcore
-Players 8 for progress, reruns on P3 (excluding countess which will be P1)
-No shared stash, first stash page only
-Most importantly, have fun

First countess

Amulet. For some reason I didn't screen the staff

Much more useful set item from Duriel

Found a 3os pole so made my pal Waheed a new weapon

HEY! Those are nice. Using!

At this point I'm keeping an eye out for 3os claws/blade talons to make 2x Pattern. I feel very vulnerable using a staff and have already had a couple close calls before I could use cloak. The faster block rate, all resist, and versatility of weapon block (also blocks spells) makes 2x claws an attractive option, even if it means sacrificing damage.

Popped a superchest in LK and got a rare item loot pinyata

Trav done

Meph wasn't particularly hard, just annoying. He killed my merc damn near instantly as well as my shadow so I just kept recasting shadow warrior on him while laying traps.
