crafted first blood belt before baal, only had one ruby so thought about doing gloves but i got greedy and wanted to keep chancies... ended up regretting it fight took forever



baal

thanks, yeah hell duriel will be hard... we'll see

Started nm and got an insane pull in the den



Doesn't look like much but there are only about 10 areas with alvl low enough to roll throwing mastery (lvl 2 staff mod) and high enough to roll 3 sockets. I've farmed this item for 20+ hours on ladder and best i got was a +2

Ran straight back to normal larzuk and sure enough



this got me really psyched, very very happy. Style points as well. It'll be a temper/ground first then a wisdom further down the line

Nm duriel is no joke lol .. especially in p8 and wearing shitty gear

Did a bunch of countess runs in nm to gear up the merc a little. Doing it on p8 feels so bad, i got more than 1 rune maybe twice out of 20-30runs. It took me so long to find a single Sol rune I was wayyy overleveled compared to usual

Ring



Another nagel, nice



crafted first blood gloves, pretty bad

Lum right outside town



Merc is decked out now, should be good for a long time



Duriel, merc tanked it like a boss

gambled new weaps





crafted new gloves

With the merc tanking almost everything the rest of nightmare was a breeze. Boss fights were still painfully long, my dps was low but I wanted to save money to gamble new weapons that could roll fools - lvl 69 for throwing spears

gulli ... amazing drop although not too sure what to do with it, kinda feel like merc needs the bulwark for tankiness and I really need a source of ml and cbf
