@moloch154: Nice crafted items! How much crafting did you have to do to get them?

@ecocd: Yeah, I hope the expansion improves the other classes as well, but I prefer playing melee style characters. Looking forward to the Crusader class.

Thanks @rschuyl2. I would say I have burned through 3k DE's in total. Mostly on Ammy's and have not had much luck with those. But overall I have had fun with it.

@tsukiyomi: Sorry I missed you online the other day for the Uber run. Was logged in, but was alt-tabbed out of the game. Please do keep on trying though!

I upgraded some of my gear w/ my I Love Monday winnings (thank you again, @anuiran!): Inna's Vast Expanse instead of Natalya's Cloak; Mempo instead of Natalya's Sight; Unity instead of Hellfire; Lacuni Prowlers instead of Strongarm bracers, & then tried solo Ubers again last night, this time on MP6. Armor now at 4208, DPS at 211,623.98 (240,748.77 w/ Bait the Trap), Life at 57450, AR between 654~692, and I upped my LoH to 462.

Got Ghom & Rakanoth first, Siegebreaker & Zoltun Kulle second, and Skeleton King & Maghda third. There were some very close calls on the first & last portals, but zero deaths. For Siegebreaker & Kulle, though, probably died over a dozen times. :-( I get the feeling DHs just aren't made to fight those two together. Indeed, the way I ended up eventually killing them was when I finally switched back to my legacy Natalya's set & changed out my DPS amulet for my Life one (-30283.5 DPS but +16754 Life) and did *lots* of running away with Smoke Screen (still died a lot though). There's just something about that combination of ZK's slowing time bubbles, ZK's collapsing ceilings, SB's charge attack & reflect damage, & SB's picking you up that just makes it so difficult for me... :-0

@eastdragon42 I don't think its just for DHs. I think Kulle + Breaker is orders of magnitude more difficult than any of the other fights.

Skeleton King + Magda. Magda is annoying, but if you have enough life + life gain to survive the butterflies, and keep an eye on the arcane beams she is really not that big of a problem while you beat down the king.

Ghom + Rakan are both melee heavy, so once again you need lots of life gain, but they don't disrupt much.

Kulle + Breaker both do burst damage, and both have very disruptive abilities. I also struggle a lot more on that fight than the other 2.

Anyone interested in joining me on my first Uber runs?

My (225K/60L) DH has a handful of machines and was planning to go tonight at ~ 7pm EST.

She usually finds herself comfortable soloing MP4, but I'm hoping with the right kind of party we could go at MP7or8.

If you could start later, I could probably join. I will not know for sure until I get home this evening. 9PM EST or later is usually better for me.

My barb can solo MP9/10 Ubers. I have never done Ubers co-op.

I don't think I'll be on past 9pmEST, but take a look for me when you log in.
