Does the killing seem kind of easy with hammers on P8 or is there a lot of scary moments?

Yes, there are a lot of scary moments. A few CS runs ago, I ran into a pack of Knights where its leader, a caster, had some buffs that made each of his Bone Spirit hit for more than half of my health. My super healing potions weren't healing me fast enough. I had to use a full juv each time he cast on me. I was standing right by him hammering, but it still took a lot of hammers to kill him. By the time he finally died, I was all out of juvs.

Knights are the worst. I never let one of De Seis's minions land a hit on me, not if I can help it. One hit = more than half of my health gone. I have to hammer then walk then hammer then walk, until his minions are all dead. Then I run to De Seis and kill him.

Infector's pack does too much damage for me to be able to tank, so I have to do the same routine as for De Seis' pack, but they're a little less scary.

On average, I use 2 juvs per game. I try to not be too conservative on juvs. I think that's why I'm still alive after this long. If I run out of juvs, I go to Act 1 and farm some off champions. This doesn't happen too often, though.

On average, I go to town maybe ten times throughout each CS run. I drain a lot of mana and health pots. None of that gets shown in the screenshots, lol. :P

I think each run takes me about 30 minutes. They used to take 40 minutes, but I'm getting a little better at it now, and I'm also trying to just run through River of Flame as much as I can. Urdar and Pit Lord packs are the only things I take time to hammer down in RoF; they give pretty decent xp.

I think Ornate plate is not so good after all. I have only 1150 health. It's not enough. And the monsters still hit damn hard. Bone Spirits hurt the most, I've noticed. I need magic dmg reduction badly. But so far I haven't seen a rare mage plate drop yet. None! Oddly, they seem to be very uncommon... I guess it's just RNG. When I get a decent one, I may respec again. I have only one respec left, tho...

Do you use charge to manovre away from enemies?

Do you use redemption ? should help not needing to town for pots

I never use charge.

Yes, I use redemption all the time. Still not enough to counter the mana leech from storm casters.

I am trying to find a good mage plate right now. Then I'll use my last respec. :)
