Let me present to you Dr. Feelgood, the summoner necromancer with a lust for archaeology. He's determent to risk his life an explore the dungeons and caves that his colleagues at the Necromancers Guild normally avoid. Me? I am his guide in that adventure and i have no idea what i'm doing to be honest. Only started playing Diablo 2 a few years back and for the last 2 years, i've been doing mindless holly grail farming to a point that i just got sick of it. I miss the days i would start a character with no transferred items, and being completely clueless about what i'm going to do to make it work... i think that's what i need to do to resurrect my passion for the game. But... i've never ever done a HC character in D2, this is going to be my first one and i'm adding the twist to it. So here are my rules.
1. Class - pure Necromancer summoner, with corpse explosion.
2. Hardcore
3. Explore every single dungeon or cave in the game
4. Players 1, convenient changes for better experience are not allowed.
5. Self found
6. Kill Hell Baal
7. Kill the Cow King in all difficulties
As for the farming for gear, i don't know what i'm going to do... i would prefer to make this a more of smoother playthrough, meaning, no endless farming runs for gear at Mephisto and no endless LK runs. In fact, the Countess might be the only boss i'll farm for the runes, but other than that, i don't see myself doing anything else.
About the dungeon/cave exploring, i'm not gonna be looking at a list of locations, so if i miss a certain area, feel free to call me on it. I definitely not looking forward to the Tal Rasha tombs, that will be a massive pain in my gluteus maximus... and Swampy Pit in Act 3 too... and the Infernal Pits in Act 5. So many places where things can go terribly wrong. I'm freaking scared, i really don't wanna mess this up, but hopefully by sharing this adventure will motivate me to do better.
So here we go:

Already in trouble! Corpsefire wiped my 3 skeletons like they were nothing and now is chasing my butt. I had to melee him with "hit and run" tactics

Next stop The Cave in Cold Plains. Looks like we're up to a lucky start.

And that'll be it for now, it doesn't look much, but trust me, for me it is. The progression is extremely slow so far. I will continue very soon, maybe even today... will see. Any feedback from you guys will be appreciated. So what do you think, do i have chance? I'm seriously concerned about my chances of completing normal difficulty, anything beyond i would consider a success.
My gear and stats so far:
