caught up a bit, cleared up to the outer cloister WP. found a 4os sword, made spirit, think i'll use two for prebuff instead of shopping 2x 3wc spears, then i can hork faster. even one really sped Hup up. the mana really helps too, i dont run out while horking.

low XP, havent gotten a single level since entering NM.

find of the night was Boneflesh! great armor, and when/if i upgrade mine, it'll be great for the merc. he still doesnt have life leech yet, but that'll do. since i had the ingredients, i went ahead and upped it too.

Hup's new armor:

Code:

Boneflesh Templar Coat 
Defense: 565 
Durability: 60 of 60 
Required Level: 30 
Required Strength: 118 
Fingerprint: 0xa8f2ba3b 
Item Level: 38 
Version: Expansion 1.10+ 
+35 to Attack Rating 
5% Life stolen per hit 
25% Chance of Open Wounds 
+115% Enhanced Defense 
Required Level +5

this let me get rid of the damn 19ar/4life leech ring, finally. got to use the new 108ar/half freeze ring.

ps. anyone know when a good time to start crafting blood rings is?

I'd venture a guess from 71+ to get 4 affixes guaranteed. But I guess if u are desperate and have the Sol runes to spare, u could try to gamble on it earlier. Can quite easily farm NM Countess for the runes.

I have been neglecting this character... should probably catch up. I think I may also have forgotten to update my last progress for this toon since I recall being higher than lvl 36, but I guess I'll check tonight when I get home.

**Turbocannon** · 24-04-2012, 11:14

Can I join now, hurry to complete Act I then advance together with the rest of you?

**crawlingdeadman** · 24-04-2012, 11:15

Go kill Radament! Do not leave Lut Gholein.

you sure can! we are in Nightmare, however so you have some hoofing to do.

**Turbocannon** · 24-04-2012, 11:58

OK then... I'm gonna try a thrower barb. I'll add my character when I'm there.

heh, i wouldnt say desperate, but dual leech would really be helpful later on when i'm going to optimize gear as much as i can for hell. think i'll start being more selective with the gems i keep instead of having a bit of everything; collect some blood craft fodder.

killed Andy and Radament to catch back up, finally gained what seems to be the longest taking level yet, 55. was hoping to run Andy for angelic jewelry, she dropped me a set amulet and it turned out to be my second (!) civerb's. i never find that damn thing, but now i've found two with Hup. arrived at act two and immediately bought a might merc. with his help, Hup's LCS is up to 2766-4206 leap attack damage, not too shabby!

ps. i feel like i'm the only one still in this tourney...

**Drystan** · 25-04-2012, 04:01

I'm in still. I just normally update at the end of the week, since I don't have time during the week very often. I do like catching up 5 quests at the end of the week. It feels just about right to me.
Anyway, Artemis is level 54 having defeated Andariel and Radament. I'm not sure if I should be going glass cannon, especially since Freezing Arrow doesn't really require it... I'm not sure whether to keep progressing for pure unrequired style points, or put some points in STR to allow me to equip a few other items. Or just to start massing points into VIT.
For now, I think she'll stay as a Dexazon. She's got nearly 500 life, which for no-VIT, I am happy with.

That is some impressive Leap Attack damage. Do you need to leap to do that damage, or can it be used instead of a normal attack?
