"One stage of your journey is over, another begins" - Gandalf

Hey guys!

I still miss Miho a lot but I'm itching to play more Diablo 2 and share the journey with you once more!

I hope I can provide the same or even better quality and you will follow along the road.

Let me introduce you Hui the Tesladin. So this is another melee build with lightning and I hope it will be a more successfully run this time.

Lets see the goals and rules:

* Get lvl 93+
* Beat Hell Baal
* Infinity/or Dream rw
* Get hrs and obtain solid end game gear
* Dont die!
* and lastly enjoy this really nice game;

* HC
* Reruns allowed
* /players 8 always except countess reruns and LK
* Runewords allowed from .txt file
* No PlugY /1.14d patch/
* Save and exit allowed

About the build:
Im not sure which path to follow the Dual Dream + conviction aura or Holy shock + Infinity Merc path but I still have a lot of time to decide.

But up until that point:
* 20 points Holy Shock
* 20 points Resist Lightning
* 20 points Salvation
* 20 points Zeal
* Some points HS
* Sacrifice rest

Let the fun begin

I'm about to post some pictures now, I'm a little bit ahead tbh, almost finished Act II normal.

Trying not to post every little thing, but got this scepter right at the beginning, I almost two shotted Corpsefire with it (players 8)
This weapon carried me hard at the beginning!



Blood Raven is dead, at least until the next new game is created.



Treehead thought I need a helmet.

Its not a question to save Cain in every difficulty as a noble paladin! - Akara's reward was not a good ring, to say the least



Running Countess several times, I need Tal, Eth for Stealth and Tir, El for Steel. - I got almost lvl 18 only by running her 'til I got all these "very rare" runes
Q kill


Got a nice amulet from her, MF is always nice.

My epic scepter broke after the nth run so I made steel in a scimitar for speed. I love that %open wounds.



Got my Eth at last and made Stealth too:



Forgot to SS it on the ground (though it was a simple yellow-rare helm), first unique item it is! I'm using it.

Hit lvl 18 after got the Horadric Malus for Charsi. Atm I have 4 points in Zeal, 1 point in Holy Fire and that's all. Not the fastest way to clear the Monastery.



Second unique, looks okay, stashed it for Act II merc:

Grinded my long way to Catacombs lvl 4 with my epic dmg, there I matched myself with Andariel and it turned out to be a breeze because she has -50 Fire res
Drop was nothing fancy, just a rare ring...


or maybe actually it is quite an O.K. ring, + 11mf!



Already lvl 20 at Radament, I want to be lvl 24 asap! This is a scary picture but its okay, everything is dead around me

It was high time to get the Cube, immediately started rolling wands and savage weapons.



Bought some +MF gloves and boots, so now I have 40+MF already.
Diggler nn


1 more lvl to go!!!

Nice one, look forward to seeing later progress!

Pretty cool find on Biggin's, it's a tasty early game hat!

Thanks! Yes, it has really good stats for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hopefully I will find a better base for Ancient's Pledge but stashed for now



First "ouch" experience, I have to be careful with Zeal, I cannot move while attacking and got almost killed by snakes because of that



And let's go baby, I'm lvl 24, which mean Holy Shock! I put 1 point into HS too and the rest into Resist Lightning. It's much better now.



First not so terrible charm.

First "maybe worth to post it" charm



3rd way Summoner.



Ive searched the right temple and fought my way through scarabs, undeads and hulks to Duriel's chamber. MF didn't do its job, I'd have loved to get a Sigon's gloves, or belt from her.
