CE - Onto Act III

[Diane]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo (More info?)

Got a chance to kill Dariel tonight. She kindly dropped two Cathans pieces
for me, but I've got them already. But, it was a nice drop just the same.
What nice changes to the chamber. Remember to light your torch.

So, now I'm in the jungle and I've already gotten killed twice by those
horky spores that I hate, even with my fire potion. They killed my
skellies and my iron golem. So, I'm thinking about going through some of
the other tombs in Act II to build up my clvl. I'm up to 29 now. Or, I'll
check in my stash for something that will give me better fire protection.
Anyways, moving forward now.....................

Conga rats! You might try gambling amulets, if you can get a Nokazon
it adds 50% to Fire resist and 10% to max fire resist, IIRC. The Zon
is wearing one (she gambled it in that Valuable Elixir fiasco) and
isn't having problems with the Hork Spawns even when they get close
(knocks on wooden head).

And yeah, getting to level 30 would probably help. If nothing else,
you should be able to get Revives, giving the Hork Spawns one (+
whatever + skills stuff you have) more target to go after. Funny, but
since that first encounter with the Champion group of nests, the Druid
hasn't had *much* in the way of problems with them, either (knocks
again). They usually manage to knock off 2 or 3 of his wolves (out of
4), but haven't gotten him again (one more knock).

The Zon, on the other hand, made the mistake of going after a pack of
Champion Rogue Archers of some kind right after she'd tagged the Outer
Cloister WP. Good thing she'd tagged it first, as she got her first
death since she got her teddy, but at least the corpse recovery was
easy ;-)

Thanks. I'm using a Bverret Keep Tower Shield with 76% Fire Resist and
the HS's aren't bothering me at all. Matter of fact, I really don't get
near them since my army fights EVERYTHING off for me. I barely do
battle at all. I'm nice and safe, lol. I finally found the Black Marsh
WP and a good thing. I just mistakenly saved the game when I only meant
to go back from the paused game. Grrrrrrrrr. So, now I'll have to do
over some of what I've already done, but not a problem. I'm finding
that I'm getting mostly gems of all kinds, not many gold items, and not
greens at all yet. Mostly blues and just a few yellows. Very stingy
this round. But, be warned, there are A LOT of monsters, I mean A REAL
REAL LOT of monsters to be killed in the jungle, lol.

So, I just take any amulet to someone to gamble, and hope that I get
that Nokazon? I'm almost to 30 and I plan to get Revives. Sounds like
your Druid is doing great. I remember those archers at the OC WP.
They're a mean bunch. But, at least you didn't lose any ground there
and you could go right back to where you were. Hopefully you'll get to
Act II soon. I got through that very quickly. Even Tal Rasha's Chamber
wasn't that bad. Got killed twice until I remembered I needed to find a
Cannot be Frozen item, but once I did that, Dariel wasn't a threat to me
anymore. So, you'll be fine. Just remember your Cannot Be Frozen item.

Even when you have a torch lit?

And again. Oh. Joy :-( Like I said in the other reply, I *hate* the
jungles of Act 3.

Yeah, just choose the ammy at the gamble screen. And not to worry, he
has CBF. Not only is it built into his starter kit, but ATM he's using
2 parts of the Death's Set, the sash (which has CBF) and the gloves
for the 10% life leech they give. I haven't found the sword yet,
pretty funny after what I was saying in the other group ;-)

The torch give you obscene amounts of gold and a lot of blues, but not
as many yellow and greens as I'd like to see. And, as I said before,
whenever I get a green, it's always one I already have like a Civerbs or
Cleglaws. So many of them in the game.

You'll be ok. But, it would help if you had a army with you, haha.

Well, the Druid *kind of* does. 4 wolves, 4 ravens, Oak Sage and now
the poison vine (who keeps dying, I may switch back to the Carrion
one, I think he has enough full rejuvs to last him for a while ;-) ).

That I didn't have problems finding the sword, of course ;-)
