Trang Oul > Rambo

[Dragonmaster]

Hey guys I just started my first Commandomancer after saying I would forever, and just thought I'd write and tell how he is going. Named TrangOul, USEast Ladder, I'm in my low twenties in act 2 normal.

He is basically untwinked, I did make myself TEH UBAR WEAPUN though. A six socketed crystal sword with four topazes and two skulls. It isn't the best twink weapon, but I like the look.


Act one was totally destroyed. I never even used amp because me and the skels would kill things faster. I blew through it in one sitting all quests.

Act two was a bit of a slowdown, but I shall triumph. I've had a fair bit of str investment early for that crystal, so my life isn't the best. And I've done a fair bit of dex since I'm maxing block but I think I'll stick to vit for a while.

I got a brand new act two blessed aim mercenary (if might didn't exist I'd love this guy more). I'm amping a bit more but I'm still on the frontlines unless I'm fighting those EVIL EVIL BEETLES. Their lightning goes through my shield and drops my life fast. Other than that it has been a breeze, and this guy sure made the maggot lair a lot easier.

I tried Duriel too early, level 19 I recall. Doing him without Decrepify has always been suicide for me, but I did amazingly well. I did damage so fast I had him down to an inch before he dropped me, even though he one hitted skels and merc and two hitted me. If I had brought some thawing potions it would have been simple.


I haven't retried the giant worm yet, but I shall prevail!

Tanking those beetles goes better when you use LT as your main curse.

Good luck with your commando! I'm playing one that is just slightly ahead of yours right now, but with school hitting me every day, I'm sure that will change.

I would have chosen the blessed aim merc, but I didn't want to get used to hitting everything in sight and then wondering why I can't hit the broad side of a barn when I trade him in for the might merc...so I've got the defiance merc. I figure I'll never be able to get enough defense to make a huge difference in being hit with my commando, so I'll more rely on 75% blocking and whatever damage reduction I can find. Defense on top of that is just gravy.

Thanks guys ^_^

MM: Yeah I figured that, I grabbed LT last level =P

Darksilanus: Thanks I'll need the luck ;). You are probably right about me being spoiled by the blessed aim, but maybe I'll just have to get some mad ar skillz when I switch to might... Hrmm...

I went back to duriel, still two levels short of decrep (I'm 22), and I destroyed him. Just amped him and kept whacking til he died, still had the merc and four skels (three skels and my golem died, but it was honorable). Act three is going well so far, I've gotten Khalim's eye, a few wps, and the first quest out of the way without trouble. I've got class though so I'll get on a bit later ;)
