Ever have days you make no progress whatsoever?

Feel free to share.

I started with a Lvl 88 cursed Lister with Might aura. When I saw WSK was terrorized, I jumped into

Baal runs to get a higher level P8 cursed Lister. After many, many runs, about half of runs successfully binding a Minion (they die super fast) and about half of those being Lister, I finally got a cursed one. Aura was

Conviction. Not the best for me, but good enough since I like to play with my bother who runs a Sorc and and elemental Druid. Note: nothing special dropped during all this time, at least nothing I could physically see with my eyeballs.

Time to field test my super powerful Lister. Cow level terrorized, so killed some cows. I did not notice a huge difference in killing speed with the higher Lvl Lister, but that might be lack of Might.

Flash forward, I

Teleport into the middle of a pack of cows in a game I thought had been fully cleared and died.

Back to normal

Baal runs to get another Lvl 88 cursed Lister. After many runs, I got one: Lvl 88 cursed with Might aura, right where I started...

My brother and I decided to terrorize act 5. so far so good. I was leveling up a lvl 88 lightning sorceress with a dip in

Frozen Orb, wearing the full

Tal Rasha set. I was a bit fragile and my DPS was not great. On the other hand, my brother was playing a lvl 94 paladin (I don't remember which kind of paladin was it, I think he used

Holy Shock, but I'm not sure). he opened the game so it was tz lvl 96.

we were doing great and all up until WSK lvl 1. I walked past the stairs, my brother was still in town. I see a pack of monsters and try to kill them from a distance. it looked like I was being successful, and I opened a portal and said it was safe. I was immediately killed by I don't know what. My brother entered the portal and also died. he made the mistake of trying to recover the body and died again. Then he rage quitted the game. I was still inside, so I convinced him to come back and try to finish the act. He did but because he quit he lost a lot of xp. I feel bad for telling him it was safe, but I really thought it was...

Only characters capable of recovering a body IMO are summoner Druid or Boiler Warlock.
This two can go safe from the waypoint naked, slowly clearing stuff. For any other character I quit if I am in solo game and there is no one to clear every-every hostile thing around my body. Otherwise it is almost guaranteed another chunk of experience will be lost. With a possibility to loose your gear too.
