D-key running

[Mimeaphone]

Is it viable to D-key run with my Blizballer?

I have 16 levels in CM and a 2500 damage bliz along with a 3300 damage fireball, full resists in hell (82% fire) and about 1k hp.

I was wondering what I should look out for and any general strategy tips for running Nil.

I tried running him with my Light Sorc last night, and the only problem I had was the Corpse Explosions which were very very painful.

You have a bit of an advantage because Blizz will freeze and shatter enemies so he can't explode them. Other than that, just keep an eye out for bodies on the floor, and try and get him before he gets you.

Also - if you can help it, try not to use Occy down there - the teleport effect is nasty, especially with the large mobs and archers hitting you.

I just tried him for the first time tonight. The halls were pretty scary but I found that the dreaded tomb vipers' bugged attack doesn't work unless you run through the poison cloud which appears like 1 second after the actual missile. If you teleport, effectively, the bug is negated as the actual missile doesn't do that much damage.

Also, occy is very annoying, like you pointed out it would be :). I kept a finger on that teleport hotkey and those potions. After finding nil, he was easier than I thought he'd be. I just teleported to him and the cold immunes that spawn around him helped me as it wasn't possible for me to give him corpses to use. He would be very annoying if he spawns with cold immunity though...Also my merc uses an un-upgraded kelpie snare which means he can't kill any hell spawns either :). I think I'm just going to run his key last and if he spawns with cold immune, just remake the game. Don't wanna risk meteor killing a hell spawn or something before killing him.
