LIVIN' ON THE EDGE: Diablo 2 Hardcore Challenge

[Baler]

OP is genuinely a nice person. That two socket chest is legit for a stealth in the early stages and those boots make me mad jelly.

10% run speed at the start is HUGE!!!

ps. act 2 GL on maggot lair! HYPE!

pss.Diablo 2 is the god father of arpgs

Radament easily manhandled by the skellingtons and my new merc!

My skellingtons are killing stuff in Act 2 really fast and sometimes I am not quick enough to catch a screenshot of the elite mobs, but managed to get one of these earlier on shots.

Taking a little break since Act 2 is by far, in my opinion, the dryest (huehue) Act in the game. I'll be back later to finish it up and then we go to Act 3, my favorite Act of all! assuming Duriel doesn't put me in the ground.

Just started grim dawn otherwise I might have been down for this. Thx 4 screenshots tho, brings back fond memories of partying and LAN gaming many a late night in years past. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

YA OK Jerhyn, so things get a little shady around town and you let all the hot chicks "hang out" in your Palace... gotchya...

Missed killshots on 2 or 3 of the elite mobs, they are going down too fast...

Arcane Sanctuary! Time for my favorite portion of Act 2.

Keeping this guy in the bank, replacing the old 2 socket hard leather armor, for when/if I find a Eth rune to make Stealth runeword.

The Summoner was a bit challenging, due to his heavy damage elemental attacks.

I logged in this morning and instead of just creating a private game like I have been so far, decided to, what the hell, check out the game listing, to see if anyone else was on Duriel. There was a game called "Act 2 Rets Go", it was 40 minutes into the game, and there were 4 other players in it, all level 19-20. I joined up and go figure, they are literally at the altar where you insert the staff for Tal Rasha. So within minutes of joining we had defeated Duriel, he was rather easy with 5 of us. So, nothing exciting leading up to the moment of Duriel.

Afterwards I scouted Hratli and homie really pulled through. Found two 2-socket armor upgrades, one for myself which I think I will make into Stealth, and the other for my deserving mercenary. Also picked up a great little polearm for Pratham.

And so we begin our adventure in Act 3, my favorite act!

I gotta do another Diablo 2 hardcore ladder before my gaming days end, great thread.

PS: definitely jack up your dex later to keep your block at 75% with the off hand head and find a ravenfrost (chill kills!)
