True Tales from a Bowmancer (Added SC NL Prizes!)

With the Staff complete and all Areas cleared leading up to

Arcane Sanctuary

We are just a couple steps away from everyone's favorite advisory, Durial

Do I have what it takes?! We'll soon find out.. Right after a quick Lunch break

So Far I've put all points into Vitality, picked up Confusion and the necessary skills for

Decrepify and

Bone Prison

Beginning to worry I've not spent enough points on Clayface, as last time there was 15+ into

Golem Mastery

But now he's struggling to stay alive against Archers in the Palace

No Slowing down now. Summoner is Next!

1st death for sure it's gonna be some random Shaman in act 3, their

Inferno burst is yikes (even when on full res) if you get surrounded by little guys (

Fetish or whatever) for like all caster/summoner builds.
And 1st unique bow... Hmmmmm... I'll go with

Stormstrike that's a pretty common one, at least for me.

I'll bet on

Raven Claw!

That worked out pretty well. Only one place Summoner can be

Felt it was important to note and to my Surprise, the Zephyr proved better then the

Ral

Tal

Ral Bow!

Being about equal in kill speed. The ongoing FRW with +Att Rating and -25% Target Defense has made it worth using

Just like that,

The Summoner has been ..

Just 4 Tombs Left before facing

Duriel. Been flipping back and forth with Zephyr and RalTalRal Bow.

The RTR Bow feels better against Tanker enemies and likely be the primary choice against

Duriel

Along the way Found 2 Set items, one useful & one useless. Angelic Mail and Artic

Belt

So here we are at last. Bought some Thawing potions to chug before entering as suggested

Also got to level 24 granting access to Prison and

Decrepify which I saved 1 point to get both

Along with 1000

Arrows and about 80% Confidence. Clayface hasn't been looking so Hot during the clearing of Tombs

Well that was easy.

Decrepify, Wall, Wall, Amp then Pluck, Pluck, Pluck and Dead.

Golem Died 3x and Mercenary Nearly Died Once. Not gonna Lie, Totally forgot to drink Thawing Potions

Here we are now in Act 3. Gonna take little break for Dinner. Tell me, what current build/character are You Playing with??

Will be back later for some more Slaying!! OH and almost forgot to leave

Duriel with a Pun

"What's wrong

Duriel? Looks like you could use some Fresh Air.. Rows"

If Spiders grew this big in the real world, I'd never leave the house.. and just play Diablo all day

Also, you won't like it when Clayface gets Angry

Running through Act 3 Jungles is Fun . . Said No One Ever

Day 3 .. Had a little surprise yesterday as a friend came over little earlier then expected and had to cut short in middle of the Swampy Pit

But am back now and .. Does anyone actually ever go here?! This was certainly my 1st time on D2R

Was an Epic Battle! Aliza met her 1st Death, Clayface met his 100th Death and

Mephisto met my Bow

You could say his situation was feeling a little .. Bowgus?

Being about Midway through Normal. Thought be good time to cover some Gear

Nadir

Cap, Stealth

Quilted Armor, Zephyr

Long Bow,

Ral

Tal

Tal

Hunter's Bow;

Bloodfist,

Arctic Binding,

Hsarus' Iron Heel, +10 Replenish Life Amulet, 26% Cold Res Ring and This Ring from

Ormus
Look out Diablo cause Arrow come!!

Wow! Was thinking about making Edge and then this appeared !!!

I've come to the conclusion that

Life Tap was wasted skill points. Plans to Respec and Trim the Fat soon

Mephisto's Stones has been Smashed

I'm going to go with

Kuko Shakaku for first unique bow.

And I'm going to go with Nightmare

Bone Fetish as cause of first death... they can catch you off guard!

1st Unique Ring!
