Pantariste

I have been trying to complete the Holy Grail challenge for a few weeks now and decided I need a break from the endless reruns of certain areas and do something different.
Which is why I'm making this Amazon. The reason for my class pick is because historically amazons has been my weakest class and so it would be interesting to see how far I get.

The Challenge

I was looking over Textbook's PvM W.T Challenge and found it interesting. I will be following the requirements listed there with the exception of class restrictions. Link for requirements can be found here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=71384204&f=161.

The Character

Below is a screenshot of the amazon which I will be playing.



Mission #1

Normal

Act 1
You must complete Blood Raven before you are level 6. Post a screenshot when you enter the
Burial Grounds, and directly after the kill.
You must kill Andariel until you have received 5 unique drops from her. Take a screenshot of each
unique with your stats screen open.
The last unique you receive from Andariel, you must use through the entirety of act 2. If it's class
specific, you may use the 4th unique.

I hope you will enjoy this walkthrough as much as I hopefully will myself. I am not the most active player, so do not except daily updates.

Arrived at Burial Grounds at level 4.



Took me a few minutes and some mana chugging to kill Blood Raven.



Put Cain out of his misery and got level 13 after clearing Tristam.

Useful gloves for fighting bosses with the slow target :hail:



Run #13 netted me a unique ring (I forgot to open stats window, sorry)


It was a Nagelring, not too bad!

On run #17 I found my 3rd unique.



Then I got 2 uniques after run #33 & #34.



I spent a lot of time on completing mission #1. I rolled a bad map for catacombs and it took a while to run through everything, but in the end:

Mission #1 COMPLETED

Remember I have to use the Blood Crescent Scimitar throughout whole of Act 2.

Mission #2

Act 2

You may not hire an act 2 normal mercenary until you have reached Kurast Docks.
You may not use thawing potions while fighting Duriel. Half Freeze Duration/CBF is allowed if you can find it.

Nice progress so far the Andy grind wasn't too bad looks like.

What's the plan for blood crescent? CS won't proc with it, right?

My plan is to auto attack and rely on A1 merc - might take a few hours with my 7-23 damage :rofl:

I put skills in javelin skills and plan to remain that until A1 NM (find unique bow requirement).

Alright, that's actually not too bad. A3/4 would be way worse with that condition because things move faster. Then you can progress with javs til NM A1. Solid plan! B)

Good luck!
