Here's the full setup:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/8ha7071h

Basically:

• Spirit
  Long Sword
• Spirit
  Monarch (had an Ancient's Pledge
  Kite Shield when I started Hell)
• Hustle
  Ancient Armor (it was the first 3os body armor I found after I decided to make Hustle)
• Lore
  Bone Helm
• Nightsmoke
  Mesh Belt (i.e., upped)
• Dwarf Star
• Rare/crafted for the rest of the slots

Merc had:

• Insight Ethereal
  Bec-De-Corbin
• Treachery Ethereal
  Mesh Armor
• Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest (apparently a perfect roll, I just realized)

The only things I changed from starting hell to finishing it, is I replaced my Ancient's Pledge with a Spirit shield right before starting Act 4 and at the same time also replaced my rare ring (had one with lightning res, replaced it with one with fire res instead to maintain max Fire resistance with

Fade on).

Great job! So what's next?

Congrats buddy !

Second successful attempt in a row, you're getting too good at that !

did you find

Lem s passively or did you farm for them? It always takes me forever to find one and end up beating the game before i do

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

Which is ironic considering the sheer number of Mosaic

Claws you've given away over the last couple of ladder seasons

Lol, yes


Oh, look! Burning Souls, adorable fellas

You should do the ritual as a little side-quest on your playthroughs

Thx for these series, they inspire me to do something similar to spice up things after all those years of grind!

That… seems risky

It was a random lucky drop. I forget where exactly, and I didn’t think of posting it in this thread when it dropped. I think it dropped late Nightmare, but not sure.

Huzzah!
Now...Ubers, go!

Haha, yeah my plan right now is to try - but first, I gotta grind/farm quite a bit.
I could very well die before I even get the chance to see any of the ubers
I also gotta figure out some bonus event for the post-game.

Here are the people who guessed that I would complete the playthrough, and are in the drawing to win the GRAND PRIZE, since I completed Hell successfully:

• @Necrarch
• @Daydreamer1290
• @luizgeo
• @krathkor
• @AzureAnvil
• @Knappogue
• @Pineohkeyoh
• @Azmenar3764

Honorable mentions that guessed I would complete the playthrough but asked to be excluded from the drawing:

• @uuee
• @basicnecromancy
• @Schnorki

If any of you want to be excluded, just let me know!
Also, if anyone feels like they should have been on the list, let me know as well.
I will draw the winner tomorrow, around 2024-07-23T20:00:00   This timestamp has been automatically converted to your local date/time for convenience. The format is DD/MMM/YYYY, HH:MM am/pm. This is based off your browser time. .
The grand prize is on NON-LADDER, keep that in mind.
There are both softcore and hardcore options.
See original post for details (post3752204.html#p3752204).

Hurra, gratz mate! Ubers will surely taste your Wrath!

Exclude me, too. Just wanted to join and support.

And the winner is...
Pineohkeyoh

Congratulations, @Pineohkeyoh!

You can now pick one of the 7 GRAND PRIZE options below.

1. [SC NL] Two of every rune in the game.
2. [SC NL] A fully geared Lightning Strike Amazon (spearzon).
3. [SC NL] A fully geared Mosaic Assassin.
4. [SC NL] A fully geared Traps Assassin (trapsin).
5. [SC NL] A fully geared Nova Sorceress.
6. [HC NL] A Cold Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).
7. [HC NL] A Nova Sorceress starter pack (not a full gear set).

All links point to maxroll.gg . None of the builds are "perfected", lots of poor/mid rolls, subpar charms, etc. They are basically former ladder characters of mine, that I no longer have any use for. I've tweaked them slightly specifically for this giveaway (just some minor improvements). The HC NL items were provided by mockingbirdreal.



The runner-up was @Necrarch, who gets an Enigma!

Here's the full result:

1. Pineohkeyoh
2. Necrarch
3. AzureAnvil
4. Daydreamer1290
5. Azmenar3764
6. luizgeo
7. Knappogue
8. krathkor
