Argh. I was about to ask you why you started another WD..................I have some used knives and mojos that might help. Hit me up in game.

A new lvl 60 is now here! Still in A3 hell, but its going good. Excited and nervous to begin my grind for looted.

Well done!

NineLivesCat killed Diablo at Normal MP10 last night.

Main skills used for Diablo:

- Rapid Fire. I used Rapid Fire ALL THE WAY as soon as the skill is unlocked. I simply like the rattling sound and the blasting of the firepower. I feel like I am a marine shooting down all the zerglings swarming to me..........

- Vault.

- Shadow Power NB and Bats for hatred, Marked for Death for DPS. HA was on but not really necessary.

Skills used for leveling, and most likely will carry on to NM Act 1:

1. Caltrops with immobilisation
2. Vault with knockback
3. Companion bats
4. Preparation (battle scars just made available)
5. Entangling Shots - Chain Gang
6. Rapid Fire - Withering Fire

Fights at Act IV is pretty exciting for my DH. There are a few occasions which I thought I might lose her, saved by only vault, caltrops, entangling shots and heavy rapid fire (her DPS is doubled that of UlumuluWey at Act IV). She simply had to keep looking out for positioning.

Here is a snapshot of my DH (I wonder why she sometimes stand facing left, sometimes right and now in the middle, possibly differ by Acts or by type of weapons, but she still look sexy in whatever positions to me):

Great job! I'll keep these skills in mind for my DH.

I finally satisfied my curiousity. Apart from WD, my DH NineLivesCat has also completed Nightmare Act 1 on MP10.

The fights are still pretty easy at MP10 for DH, due to fast XP gains which result in higher C-level compared to the monster levels. One difference is that my DH could have died a few times, if her HP were not that high. There is less margin for errors. High vitality has given her a couple more seconds to escape from deaths.

Updated stats are in the following table. What I am going to do next is most likely to complete Nightmare Act 2 - 4 with WD on MP10 (Part IV Hardcore Diary?), while slowly leveling up the remaining Barb, Monk and Wizard.

@Khan
I did switch out Rapid Fire for Twin Chakrams at Crypt of the Ancient, and at the narrow passage between Southern and Northern Highlands, since chakrams deal damage to monsters in the path and there are simply too many monsters in their paths. One stone kills 2 birds? Twin Chakrams kills 10 monsters! I dislike chakram in other occasion for the fact that I can't focus them on a mob, a mob standing right in front of me may not get hit at all.

@douvinsky Unforunately, I lost my DH at LVL30 in the Fields of Slaughter. It was extremely sad since I had just bought the sandals for my cain's set and was working on getting the gloves to finish the set out. I'll start again and be a little more cautious.

@Khan

Aww. What killed you?

@douvinsky True story and its likely the worst way to die. It was the afternoon, I was tired from a long day of work, I was playing in the Fields of Slaughter, and then suddenly I woke up seeing red borders and being surrounded by 2 elite packs (dragon things that shoot fire and some spearmen). I must have dozed off for about 20 seconds. I shadow powered, vaulted, and sentry just for the hell of it. Suddenly, my templar died. I noticed that my spider was dead too. Then I died.

My Barb FightTruPain killed The Butcher last night. It was an easy fight at level18 MP10. He then passed his hugamama Axe to my Wizard WisdomToLive. The Skeleton King is going to have a hard time fighting my Wizard who has 136 DPS at level 10 (My Barb only had 30 DPS at level10). And here is how they look now.

FightTruPain looks like a King with his Broken Crown, his sword [edit: dagger] isn't that easily visible. Sneaky huh.
WisdomToLive have to had good sense of balance in balancing the heavy axe on his right hand, and a book on his left hand.

The wizard looks a little lol :D

What skills are you using on the barb so far?

Yes the Wizard is a bit lol. Innocent-looking fair young man with long silky hair, wearing a stupid hat and having a book on his left hand while holding a big axe on his right hand, pair with trendy boots.

Not much skills available at lvl18, but I use the followings:

Bash Clobber - for fury regen and stun
Hammer of the Ancients Rolling Thunder - Fury spender, for multiple targets

Leap - for mobility, positioning (e.g jumping right to the front of those summoners) and escape
Cleave - for multiple targets in front
Ground Stomp - for stun

Passive - Nerves of Steel for the extra survivability.

Nice.

Yup I think used Ground Stomp all the way up to inferno where the stun time is nurfed.
