Rules:

• Hardcore
• P8 except for Countess runs.
• No mods, ever. Possibly will have to use ladder RWs, even though harmony is game breaking.

Goals:

• Full Mav's
• Past act 1 Hell.. finally.
• Find and kill Soul Eater
• Craft +4 safety javs and find or make an end-game bow (WF, passion, etc..)

Airi is an pure elemental style amazon, as I like to suffer in the most masochistic ways while playing diablo 2.

This is the template I am working off of.

1100 FA
1100 CS
700 fury
49% pierce
1p guided arrow with a blood belt to keep OW on bosses
+crit supplied from peace

Not having a strong valk and decoy might bite me in the ass, but when that matters, we'll be upgrading our Peace and respec to whatever.








I know a few people were waiting for this... so without further adieu...

Starting from the end of normal... lost the old thread due to the 1 month time lock.

Still 100% magic arrow / crit / pierce. Worked amazingly well, even though I went from a ral'd bow to an Edge.






Everything tarted smoothly... got him trapped perfectly.






He tele'd off but I had him namelocked, safely hiding in a corner.

Then I got bored, moved up, and spent 20 mins running around the room being literally spammed with cornstalks.






Got him into a corner, finally.

Oh, wait.






This will be slow.

Why do I bother.






Useful gloves! Took 40 minutes.

Time toskill reset! I'll show her terrible gear and such when I start NM.

That wimmin is hawt.

And nice baal fight .

Jemali was my first A2 merc. He was annoying to me too, but that's probably because I didn't know how to handle him!

I feel like I downloaded some kind of bugged median patch.

Monsters only attack me and my merc does w/e he wants.




Tried an imbue before leaving... could have come out worse, I guess.






My CP map had 4+ shrines on it, so I upped my stash of blood belt gems.

It's finally clean again!






Here's my terrible gear so far.

I used my reset, and I'm leaning toward jav for NM, but I'm debating where I can improve the build.

good luck

Talked with seb just a bit and decided to go with this @ lvl 42.

20 cs + 10 light bolt for synergy, does about 700 max @ 7 bolts.

1 guided (FA is half physical but i just like using it sometimes :D)
1 valk (for peace)

Rest is going into Frozen Arrow until maxed, then pierce.

100 to vit, and rest to weapon reqs for exceptional amazon bow/javs.

-

Goals for NM will likely be decent safety javs + rhyme, a Melody in a +1 exceptional for FA, and an upped goldskin or smoke for my merc.





Opened this super chest outside town a few times while I was debating.

Really happy that I did!






Den cleared w/ no problems, except holy motherfuck I forgot how much mana an ele zon uses.

I'm not making a harmony in a stag bow... and this is the first socketed bow I've seen drop.






LOTS of nope. He dropped mana potions.






His friends dropped my amn, though!

I know.. I know... but I look so damn sexy!
Even if I run as slow as a turtle...








Best stony field map I've ever had... +1 pruby to the blood craft stash.
