I may look like a dump in your eyes, but i have to share this tragicly funny story with you, that happend to me two days ago.
I was running Shenk/Eldritch, while at the same time i was negotiating via wisp messages, with one guy for the price of the large charm, he was offering in the trade channel (Europe hardcore) - 6max dmg/ar/29life. Warmed up in the trading process, i forgot what my beloved barbarian - 90 lvl double thrower (equiped with dual ETH lacerators, legit Fortitude Scarab husk, barb torch 20/14 :sad2: , and some other nice charms) is doing at the same time on the battlefield. While i was trying to get the chеаpest possible price for this charm, а pack of thorned hulks were swarming mine uncontrolled barbarian... I noticed that too late.
Bam, bam, bam and before i can esc/save and exit the whole 5840 life of my barb were sucked out! "Your deeds will be..."

The stupid me! :shocked:

Well, roughly evaluated i lost near 13 ists + Legit Fortitude - not so big deal someone can say, but i am playing hardcore from so many years.
How is this possible to happen to me? Yes, my mind was lost in the trade, and ..hm..i could say and in the amorous letter i got the same day from the girl i love, but this is not excuse to do such imbecile-like thing.

Please give me your judgement!

Maybe is time to retire from the game?

I try and go to town when typing....thats mainly because I stink at typing and have to look at the keyboard....tough luck...one expensive charm if you ever ended up trading...

LOL! :smile:

Dying happens. That's why I have about 10 chars over lvl 60. If one dies, I choose another to play. Lost 13 ists + fortitude, ouch. I don't even have 1 ist lol.
Reminds me when I lost my first 1.11 88 trapsin in NM chaos(!) with ~600+%mf to a bunch of evil knights by not really watching the screen and not having fade on...

But it will learn you for trying to rip the poor charm guy off!

My buddy Dave said he was guarding me for quite some time before he finally gave up on me . And the best part was - No One Pk'ed me !!!! I got away with one that time ...

Since we are on afk stories.

I cleared Hell Act 2 Canyon of the Magi with my Trapsin and Holy Freeze merc. I was about to go tombing and stopped directly in front of one of the tombs to go to the restroom. Apparently, I missed one Sand Maggot egg...lv 77 Assassinn handed Deeds by a hatchling.

Always TP back to town when typing or afk.

See, thats why I quit pvm when I started pvp. So I wouldn't die negotiating prices for charms I need.
Trading should be done in channel or in mule games.Anywhere else, and you're too distracted.

I am thinking to do exactly that you are proposing Lucky Dwarf! :smiley:

But first i need little time to recover from the post traumatic shock :grin: and then to decide what kind of character to start...:confused1: . I have almost full equipment for War cry barbarian, but i am also thinking about the possibility of Tiger Strike/Drogon Tail/Death sentry assassin. Hm...:scratch:
