I thought you said Hell was going to be slow going?! You're crushing Hell faster than Normal and NM! Good work!

I am permanently no longer accepting
Ort
or
Thul
runes as trade currency

All trades can be accomplished via PC or xbox. All reasonable offers will be considered and probably accepted.

That's a great quote by

haha 😁 He says some memorable things in this game if you listen to him 😛

Well, I'm not really rushing, I swear! 😅 I'm not clearing maps and I'm progressing whenever I find the exit to the next place, but I am methodically killing all monsters I encounter (unless they're of the very dangerous kind, then I might
Teleport
around them rather than risk it, which hasn't happened a lot yet), often disengaging and backing off to take on fewer enemies at a time, etc. Just trying to be careful. No sense in teleporting past weak mobs only to have them gang up from all sides (and that's when you encounter something actually dangerous... 😉)

I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.

Killed him with SF (to half) and
Charged Bolt
, or...? How long did it take? He dropped 3 milion town portals or 69.000 potions?🤣

No,
Static Field
+
Frozen Orb
actually :) FO is a good boss killer. He didn't drop any scrolls this time (but I've seen him drop only scrolls more than once lol).

Orb on
Duriel
?? How's that possible without Sunder? I never even tried to use any cold skill on him, though. When started this game one of first lectures from googling were "
Andariel
immune to poison,
Duriel
to cold." I guess it's not true then.

You're probably thinking of the Uber variants. Uber
Andariel
(
Lilith
, rather) and
Über Duriel
are immune to poison and cold, respectively. But not the normal non-Uber act boss variants. Hell
Andariel
has "only" 66% poison resistance, and while Hell
Duriel
does have a whopping 95% cold resistance, he is not immune and thus
Cold Mastery
works normally on him.

EDIT: Pro tip, the boss names above are clickable, if you click on their names you'll get to the database page for those bosses and you can see their stats including resistances. Curiously,
Über Duriel
page says he has 75% Cold Resistance, but he has a hidden Cold Enchanted mod which gives him an extra 75%, making it 150%. If I understand correctly 🤔.

TY SO MUCH FOR EXPLANATION, SHADOW. 95% is huge, but I totally forgot
Cold Mastery
. When you don't actively play a certain char, you simply forget the basics.
Anyway, advice on Google was quite OK even for standard bosses, don't use poison on
Andariel
or cold on
Duriel
, unless you are Sorc with CM😁

No problem, happy to help :)

Side note - Act 3 is when it really starts getting interesting, with the first (possible) appearances of both
Willowisp
and
Bone Fetish
. No souls in
Great Marsh
this time, thankfully. Currently in
Kurast Sewers Level 1
, and there's dolls here of course. I don't think I've ever explored it quite as slowly and carefully as this time around. One mistake could mean instant Death lol.

The council is down, the
Flail
has been forged, the orb has been smashed.
Mephisto
is next. But first, one of the scariest areas of the game (on hardcore at least).

I hope when you say "slow play" isn't applied on other aspects of your life😅😅😅. Because if this is slow, can't imagine what is fast.
So you didn't have dolls in Flayer Dungeon? Marsh is nice and extremely easy for farming if no souls.
Now you can see why I adore Java in HC: Valkyre and
Decoy
Attract
dolls and you simple kill them from afar. And you only have Merc, so stay turbocautious. And of course, Durance is the most nervous part, it is so tense in HC you can feel it. Welcome to the fun side, to paraphrase Xanhast.

Good luck!!! I really hope that my prediction was wrong.

I will be mostly offline for the next 2 months. I won't keep any trades active during this period. I will hold another giveaway on my return.
You can contact me for rune trades if you see me online during this period. Best of luck!

Haha, well it feels slow. Careful might be a better word. I'm taking my time to kill monsters that are in my way, retreating when it's overwhelming (like if merc is in danger), re-engaging, retreating, re-engaging, etc. Just not clearing maps :)

Nope, no dolls there :) First encounter was in Sewers.

Hehe, yeah, I'm employing a tactic where I
Teleport
forward a bit, then immediately take a few steps back, cast a FO to "scout" (I play with minimum brightness so it's very hard to spot enemies from a distance). I'm extra careful about
Teleport
destination when there's walls and doors, try not to
Teleport
into the unknown.

Don't get me wrong, I like FO+
Hydra
, and
Chain Lightning
needs a bigger skill investment to really shine compared to
Hydra
(if you want to main it and farm efficiently), but in this case I like
Chain Lightning
for it's auto-aiming and AoE, each cast arcs through monsters automatically, each arc can be quite long, if there's fewer monsters than max hits then it will just arc back and forth between the available targets (NHD, next hit delay, plays a role here though).

In this case I also started with
Charged Bolt
and just decided to stick with the lightning tree (+ FO) to avoid spending a respec until I actually needed one. I haven't felt like I needed a respec yet. Sure, my CL is a bit weak due to lack of +skills but it's serving me well enough and I like to avoid respecing until I absolutely need to.

The advantage of
Hydra
is that you can set-and-forget and kite or cast other things while they do their thing, even placing them through doorways to hit things you haven't aggroed yet. CL is a bit slow to cast and locks you in cast animation so it can be dangerous if cast in short range. It takes some getting used to.

GZ, "slow" man!
What dangerous areas remain?
-
Plains of Despair
if filled with "Caspers"🤣
- De Seis if he's Limmune (dunno is that his inherent immunity or it is only sometimes as aditional)
-
Frozen River
- possible "Caspers"
-
Nihlathak
- well, always a potential danger
- Worldstone L2 - again if there are "Caspers"
- Throne - if there are dolls, and be carefull, 2nd
Baal
's champion can resurrect them
So, practically, if u're lucky, won't see any "Caspers" and dolls and you're done.

Except for, well, you know - the toughest part... Ancients.
Luckily, you can try them zillions of times and escape easily if needed.
One of them is Limmune, dunno which one, but the swirling dude is the most dangerous. If he hits you, you're one-shot dead.
You can have huge shield and life, but on Hell he can one-shot you.

Yeah, there's plenty of dangerous things ahead, for sure.

Also, the "caspers" enemy type you're talking about are called
Willowisp
, but most people called them "souls" (there is one variant called "Burning Soul" and one called "Black Soul").

Will be scary going forward :P
