Hello, I've decided to start a necromancer walk. Going non-plugy. No ladder RW's. Just to see and keep the original feel of d2. I still will play plugy on my other chars, but this one I'll see how far I get. Probably A1 hell. But I'd figure I could try to beat Hell! I don't know what weapon/armor I should go with for merc, nor the shield I should use. Any help is appreciated!

Goal:
- Make it to Hell!
- Make a beast 'White' Wand with +3 Poison Nova automod
- Make 'CTA'
- Make 'Hoto'
- Reach Level 85
Rules:
- No ladder Runewords
- No extended stash
- /p8 at all times, except for countess runs (I may have to drop for boss reruns due to time)
- Hardcore
- Cannot retire if I get bored, which I happen to do fairly often
Let's go!
