Well, there's your real goal for this run then.

Indeed, might be Though am I interested in trying a "classic" uber kicksin as well, never did that either lol.

ubers in < 4 hours (offline ssf)

I guess I should just quit this now, I'm already at 40 hours or something

But damn that’s impressive to do ubers 4 hours into a fresh SSF playthrough.

Ist rune from the forge, not bad!
...it's just that to make anything useful with it (besides Delirium), I need some high runes to go with it

HC vs SC is not an equitable comparison

Well, the highest rune I have right now is an

Io, and I do have 2

Amn, so I only need 2

Gul and 2

Mal, and I have a chance of getting either a

Mal or a

Gul at

The Hellforge, so.... it's going to be a while, if ever

I wish you best of luck before you face Ubers.

A hero's mistake is finally corrected.
Just one more Act until Guardian title

Oh and whether I try ubers or not depends on if I can farm gear to handle it. And the keys. All without dying. I'm a terrible player compared to those speedrunners

Without Mosaics, Anni and decent res, dont try in HC

Once you beat nightmare you can run nightmare TZs to level and collect runes. Then all you need is any 3os base to make a Mosaic. This might sound a little off but I added a pair of Dracs to my sin she hasn't had a single Death since. I will even say that Dracs might even work better on my sin than on my Paladin.

Well, ever since the sin finisher never-miss changes, they're basically the same as

Smite so far as drac's is concerned except

Smite is capped at 6 frames whereas talon gets down to 3+7, meaning a sin gets significantly more hits within the same timeframe and hence a significantly improved proc chance for drac's in that same timeframe. Plus the gap between heals is smaller (literally half) on all but the last kick in each cycle, meaning the "time to possibly die in between heals" is massively reduced.

So...yeah, drac's is indeed ridiculously better on a Mosaic sin as compared to a smiter.

And even ignoring that, a sin also gets to actually make use of the flat life steal on drac's which a smiter does not.

Drac's isn't just significantly better for them it is also significantly less needed on top of that, thanks to normal leech working for them and even if you don't have any of that, thanks to cobra leech just being insane.

I believe leech doesn't work on skeletons and

Life Tap does, and as you know I like to go that "and a little more" extra step.

Well, yeah, undead are a separate issue.

I rather like drac's on Mosaic sins as well. Just an added buffer in case something ever does go wrong (right...) or if you're flat out too lazy to

Charge up

Cobra Strike as well (far more likely, at least for me ).
Besides, not like they need glove slots for anything else..everything's total overkill on them anyways.

Schenk, your command has ended.

No Gloams in the

Frozen River, lucky me!

Anya rescued

Scary battle coming up!

Aaaaaand we got'em

Zanarhi didn't live through the whole battle, but my trusty

Shadow Master was able to tank adequately (with re-casts now and then, obviously).

Fingers crossed for you. I just leveled a trapsin myself (softcore). Everything felt pretty easy and I was battling nightmare ancients.

Korlic and

Madawc were already dead and all of a sudden

Talic whirlwinded me 100 to 0 while I was casually walking around. I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes.

Yeah,

Talic's whirlwinding can really screw you over. If he puts you into hit recovery then you're basically dead as he keeps whirling through you, unless you have a tonne of HP and/or damage reduction.

But yeah, I perservered, snuck that victory post in just before yours

The evil brotherhood is no more.
Hell complete

Congrats! Well played
