thanks!

in a3 nightmare now, things are pretty smooth so far. very unlucky with drops though - no IAS at all :( i really want that twitch to drop...


Be careful in nm a4 cause venoms are poison immune so you need to have some lightning up before you get there

You should be able to get 10 ias gloves from vendor and with throwing spear, should not be that slow attack

just killed diablo NM now :) at lvl 46
suppose I could vendor some gloves but I found a pair with really nice resists which is nice in HC

i currently have 20 plague and 10+ lighting fury which has been working really well so far. i can do NM cs on players 4 easily, could probably do players 8 but don't wanna take risks since it's HC :)

hell will def get harder though!

Freezing arrow does work the trouble is when you hit cold immunes, if your immolation arrow isnt top notch it gets super hard. It's really hard to keep both strong enough.
You almost have to main immolation and use freezing as secondary which sounds backwards because freezing is better, but if your immolation doesnt kill efficiently it's a lot harder to kite, even a weak freezing will keep the enemy in place while you knock them down

Also hell duriel is basically impossible to kill with freezing arrow. I was only able to beat him because I had a level 1 guided arrow and boneflesh, otherwise my run would have ended there

My elemental zon made it to act 3 city before I gave up and stopped playing, but she never died, I just lost interest, but that run was a full clear walk through and by act 3 I was cutting corners and declared the run over

yeah, I think my gear overall is way too crap for bow now anyway. I have no + skill :(

in a2 hell now, at lvl 56. plague/lf works really nice so far, and I'm spamming valk + decoy to stay out of trouble. any tips heading into act 3?

and now I killed diablo :D
managed to complete hell with all 5 classes in singleplayer HC without dying once! am proud

in these 5 playthroughs, not a single twitchthroe dropped :D
was not lucky with drops at all tbh, found about 4 shards, 3 bonesnaps, and a few decent rares
