Managed Meph in NM with my lvl 42 Barb. Went to ActIV, saved and exited to run a few errands, do some chores etc. Returned a few hours later, logged in, entered the general bnet channel and perused a series of ongoing games. There, a 29th lvl Necro asking for help with Andy NM. I had no particular 'plans' for this session, so I joined to offer my assistance. The Necro was standing at the last WP so I joined him there. We took off through the various chambers/halls etc, when we pop a door and the room is FILLED with Fallen Shamans. Not a problem. JDIII wades in, couple whoops and hollers, extra life, extra defense. etc etc. Double swing set on the right button, bodies flying, gore piling at my feet. Then...that awful sound we all fear, the screen says, "JDIII killed by Fallen Shaman."...wtf?!?!?!?!? Run back down, run around abit to get them chasing me and away from my corpse, recover my body and gear and tear into them with a vengeance. BAM! Again? Run back down, run around, there arent but 3 or 4 left now. Suddenly I see the problem. MSLE Shaman. No clue how hard he can hit for, but my 512 pt life bubble with 64% Lightning Resist was insufficient to standup to a single burst. *sigh*
Why do I park my car in the driveway, then drive on the parkway?
