2nd Zuni ended up only providing Zero a minor improvement.

Looted Frostburn Gauntlets. I think it means brimstone...............still good since brimstone cost close to 300k HC gold now.

Nice @douvinsky

I really like Unity for Acid cloud WD. Its a really under rated ring IMO. I would need a top level pox ring to beat it and they're in the 250M+ region.

@ninjax

Please could you elaborate why Unity for Acid Cloud? I was actually getting it for that little bit extra LoH to start with.

Mostly because it has LoH as a fixed stat, then all the rest is really good tasty gravy.. high int, ave damage, CC and damage to elites is fantastic as you should 1-shot white mobs. These are all things people look for on Zuni Pox rings. LoH is great because with Acid Rain rune you hit such a huge amount of monsters with 1 cast.

On top of this you get 1 random roll, which you'd love to be CD.

2nd Zuni Mask sold for 3 millions. I consider this a good sale since I bought mine for like 2m a while ago with much better rolls.

On that note I really hope I won my bid on a Zuni. 3k dps and a hp increase for max bid of 2.67 mil. Should be possible considering douvs buy for 2 is way better than mine.

@zerokewl Have you thought about getting some blackthorn pants? They're kinda similar to depth diggers but you'll get LoH and +100 vit from the set bonus since you already have the belt. I'll guess you'll miss the AR.. but you should try and make that up on your shoulders if possible.

Have a look at mine & don't try and get ones with sockets as without them the Int/Vit can roll much higher and for some reason ones with sockets cost a lot more than ones without & you'll get better stats in the end!

Just some ideas!

Yes I may have to do that, but my ehp may go down due to losing AR and I know my dps will dropped as my depths have a phat amount of int.

Also will need to save up some gold only have 7 mil and lowest jousting is 18 mill. I'd think to get a good one would run around 30 mil.

Looted a 6cc 18x Dex Inna Helm with Armor bonus and over 200 life regen. Count of leg to date = 16.

As much as I would like to keep it for my monk, it doesn't hurt to try let the rich pay for it over the weekend.

Oh, and I nearly lost my WD at MP1 Field of Slaughter. I thought with my EHP I can farm MP1 with one eye closed, but I bumped into this Rare pack of Herald of the Pestilence.

They are FAST, Waller, Frozen and something else. Before I realised it, my spirit vessel was already activated and I had a tough time fleeing away with those walls and freeze. Ok, more EHP please!

While searching for similar Inna Helm in the AH, won a bid at 2.1m for an Inna Helm with lesser stats, and instantly flipped it for 3m buyout.

Looted a 2nd Gravel of Judgement. Instant Brim.

Leg count = 17.

Nearly lost my WD for being careless................fighting an E Waller / Desecrator pack in Keep2 while I was hugging the wall............the next thing I knew was that I am a sandwich between walls on toast, and spirit walk couldn't get me out.

Thanks. Good to know that I am not the only one reading my diary lol.

I hope to keep it interesting. Recently there has been less exciting moments hence I will keep some updates only after I accumulated a few legs, or something really significant happens, be it a 200m loot or the unescapable death, or HFR plan (haven't started working on that).

I went home and started a HC wd too, lol. Playing without AH on MP10. I have to say, this is a breath of fresh air. Even blue drops give me a bit of excitement. 1 yellow from Skelly king at the moment. Killed him at level 11, with 374 Life and 32.5 DPS.

P41.

So I was climbing the stairs delivering the Spyglass. Just before I reached the top for the purple elite, I saw this Treasure Goblin, I killed it and it dropped a Skorn. I was thinking since Goblin is not lvl63 the Skorn most likely would be a brim. Anyway, I stick to my HC survival tip, I immediately portal out, ID it and stash it. Then I thought since I am in town and usually I need to clear my bag before a run finish, why not let me ID some of my rares in the bag. So I ID them. Salvaged all of them.

Then I hit escape and leave game. <------ I got pretty upset because I have not finished my run! I have not killed the purple elite for the 10 slots, and I still have Field, Keep2 and AC to run!!

Anyway, started a new run and looted 1 mo set and 1 mo leg. Hence added the following in P41 alone:

34. The Burning Axe
35. WKL
36. Skorn
37. IK Gloves
38. Lacuni
