Hadn't happened to me until just now. I got the message while I was in a game with my cold sorcy. I'd been running Meph with her to get the hang of it and then all of a sudden the screen starts shaking and I see "Diablo Walks The Earth." So I whisper my friends, but no one's on to help me out. So I wait for the game to stabilize, all the while thinking which of my characters could defeat him solo.

I decide that AbstractCider is the man for the job, my level 84 Frenzy WC barb. So I spawn him at Bishibosh and immediately I'm overwhelmed by the pure size of him. I rushed in and took him down to about half life in a couple of seconds (hurray for CB and static), but my merc was losing health fast and I was getting swamped by the myriad carvers and rogues running my way. So I eased off and took out the monsters on the perimeter leaving just me, the merc and DC.

Well, he was one tough mother****er. 10 Full Rejuvination potions later (mostly spent on the mercenary, who bought it in in the end), and he shattered into ice. I scooped up the charm as greedily as Golum might the One ring and headed back to camp to identify my prize.

Cool stuff, or so I thought till I checked the Arreat Summit. Turns out it's one of the ****tiest possible rolls for an Anni. Oh well though, at least now I have one. Back to harvesting Mephy.

Congratulations. I almost had my first experience today. Counter goes off twice when I'm doing a Meph run, so I bring back my necro so I can MF while I wait. I then go to idle in town and go get a creemee, telling my brother to click the mouse every now and then so I don't drop. I get back, and he tells me that our DSL box acted up again. Half a year of 1.10 and still no Clone for me...

Anyway, congratulations. I'm going to go count the hours before my ISP's tech support line is open.

Good job.

Any annihilus is better than none.

Wow, he still spawns.

You'd think the SOJ supply was running a bit thin at this point in the patch.

I think that DC counter runs randomly as well as can be trigged by actual sales.

He spawned on me in Classic Asia 3 times already but twice I was solo and there isnt much of anything that is in Classic going to solo him especially the characters i have and thier gear. We did get a BIG group on him the first time I saw him in Asia and spanked his bottom.

Yeah it's fun fighting him in Classic. On East SC, I was mueling something in a pub game when the counter went off. I was a lvl 87 defiant, everyone else was lower than 70. I tanked him and was telling others to kill him, but they all died at least ten times. I had to call in a 92 blizz sorc to help me finish him off though. No PMH :(. Then in a CS run he spawned in place of Grand Vizier. Had 2 Diablo's to fight that time.

Even the worst possible anih is 10x better than any other 1-square charm. :)

I lost the Anni today when lag swallowed my sorceress. I still don't understand how she died. It's my first HC death since my early PS assassin, and that was months ago. I'm hoping for a reroll, but I know it ain't gonna happen.

Easy come easy go I guess.

Sigh.

That sucks. That your first lag death? Welcome to the club :innocent:

I noticed that Mephy wasn't losing any health, so I quickly hit save & exit. I had difficulties logging back on, and then when I finally was able to, there was Limefrost as a cloaked figure.

I'm really sad about it, but there's nothing I can do, so why let it bother me. I'll probably rebuild her (guetto this time...), but in the meantime, I'm gonna take a couple days off from the game just to collect myself.
