Finally got my Annihilus charm! I made a game and was doing an Andarial run (she is much friendlier both in difficulty and drop wise than other act bosses) and I was getting the "soj sold to merchant" thing about every 3 minutes or so, so I decided to stay. Bschultz came and we played some. I tried going to some other acts and the "soj sold to merchant" stuff stopped so I figured go back to act one, and yep it started back up again (hmmmmmm....). After I had been in the game about an hour-hour and a half and about 37 sojs later instead of "soj sold" I get an earthquake and "diablo walks the earth".
I tried letting my merc take him down as he usually mauls act bosses with his hone sundan but I think crushing blow may only be able to take uber diablo down to 50% life. Also prevent monster heal does not work on mercs (or mine at least) so the blackhorns he wears wasn't helping. The solution? I gave him my lore helm and took his blackhorns. For magic find I wear angelic wings+mantle+halos so even as a necro I had over 30% chance to hit him, so I walked up with my fearsome +3 bone skills wand and *smack* no more heal. :D After that it was just a game of plant the golem, decrepify, and spam bone spirit. :):):):D:D:D:D
I now have +1 more skills, +10 stats, +11 all resistances and get 9% more experience. I got the low end of resists and stats but at level 86 I really cared about the exp gain the most anyway. B)
