The battle I faced with Zoltun Khule surprised me on the amount of damage his ancient guardians and himself could take even when I unleash both earthquake and call of the ancients. Overall I never reached less than half life and managed to get a Hunting Quiver...




Crafted Upgrade: Took me 9 crafts for this axe. It rolled 39dps, the rest had 31-35dps with useless stats. Slammajamma seems happy to be able to start carving.




Pre-Belial slammajamma stats. Still using Nerves of Steel and Pound of Flesh passives.

Thoughts on Act2 and the Belial fight.
I ran across my first two frozen elite packs when I entered the Storm Halls. That was the only time I really felt threatened. As for Belial it was a long fight, he used his lightning strike twice and I managed to only hit 2 puddles the entire match. Belial managed to get slammajamma down to half life for a split second.



Both drops ended up being upgrades

gl on the way to 60. I intend on doing a walk through soon, but probably not on mp10 haha. We'll see though.

Slammajamma hit level 28 in the Skycrown Battlements. His experience is unmatched.






Crafted Upgrades: Got these boots on my 6th craft. They were pretty inexpensive to craft so overall a decent upgrade.







Not much of an upgrade but definitely is now account bound.



Gold Budget: 103,393

You're only using gold at vendors and crafting, correct?

Correct

Slammajamma hit level 29 while battling in the Stonefort.







Crafted Upgrade: 4th craft I managed to get this sword. Quite a lot of crafting resources where used to forge this sword but an improvement nonetheless. Slammajamma is pleased with his massive strength gain.







Botulph the Miner came across this glove upgrade for slammajamma.

Slammajamma reach level 30 in the Keep Depths. No real trouble came forth in the depths, fallen maniacs did take 3-4 hits to kill but Slammajamma made sure his Ground Stomp was off cooldown before entering such careless battles.

Passives: Nerves of Steel, Pound of Flesh, Tough as Nails





Slammajamma level 30 stats




Ghom Fight
Going into this fight my plan was to deal the majority of my damage with WOTB and Earthquake. Those skills managed to get Ghom to half life, by the time WOTB finished slammajamma's life was halved. Tanking didn't turn out to be viable with bathing in Ghom's Acid Cloud attack. So slammajamma had to lure this beast out of his stank to finish turning him into pudding. Ignore Pain was a good pick up for this fight. The two rings ended up being salvaged.

Slammajamma hit level 31 in the Forward barracks.

Elite battle update: Elite packs haven't done much of a toll to slammajamma. Ghom is the monster he hasn't been able to tank consistently.





Discovered Upgrade: Slammajamma has been needing a helmet change for a while. A nice defense and strength boost found on this helmet.






Discovered Upgrade: Treasure Goblin drop. Another nice addition to slammajamma's armory.
Gold Budget: 146,847
