Meet Oxana! The fresh out the womb newborn baby Assassin! Despite being a scrubby little level 1 noob, she aspires to one day be a Phoenix Striking, Mind Blasting, Shadow Cloaking, Dual Wielding and perhaps if her dreams come true....even a Whirlwinding beast!

Goals:
1. Obtain some cannot be frozen gear (melee ofc this is necessary)
2. Don't RIP in nightmare (don't lose patience by using burst of speed, stick with fade!)
3. Obtain some nice rare claws
4. Defeat Hell baal
5. Craft Chaos runeword claw

Rules:
1. Hardcore
2. P8 during progression (Px during reruns)
3. Small stash
4. Ladder runewords via .txt

First Rare




Not too bad for first rare, get some AR bonuses started



Blood Raven went down in about 5 rotations of Fists of Fire. Feeling super strong atm. And looky what she dropped, first unique!

Pelta Lunata! I tried to wear it for about 2 minutes but the attack speed of dual wielding claws is just too superior. Plus when you're flailing fists of fire all this way and that who has time for a shield?




Weapon upgrade for my girl Heather



Rare Jewel. Ended up using it in a 2os helmet later on

Cloak of Shadows on the Treehead pack, isolated Treehead and took him down in 3 rotations of Fists of Fire. Still feeling pretty OP at the moment



Portal to the Nether.



Helmet to get me by for a while

Countess quest drop



Ended up having to run countess about 12 times to get an Eth rune to drop. Saving Tal+Eth for act 2 so I can get a higher defense base. Currently level 19 after countess reruns on P8.

Not a bad charm to find on your way to Andariel



Andariel quest drop. Everything useless. Won't bother with reruns, on to Act 2!

Look what dropped in the sewers on my way to Radament!



Hotspurs! Man these things can be a real pain to try to farm sometimes. I've had some decent luck so far.



Between Chalan, Shadow Warrior and myself, we're quite the destructive force

Skill Book



Finally made Stealth



Got the cube!



At this point I've got my skills spread pretty evenly. 4 points into fade, 7 points into claw mastery, 1 point into weapon block, 5 points into fists of fire, rest prerequisites. I don't think I'm going to bother getting Mind Blast right at 24, I don't think I'm going to need it till Act 5 so I'll keep spreading evenly till then. I thought I'd have to basically just keep pumping fists of fire until I got Phoenix Strike but honestly the 5 points in it right now are more than enough for good kill speed. We'll see how long that continues.

That's all for now. Hopefully more updates to come soon! Although I'm also in the middle of some home improvement projects so it may be a bit sporadic.
