Ok, another progress report
Elemenara finished Act III in reasonably fine style - she went down to a Champion Mauler in Durance Hate act III, and suffered one death to Mephisto's cold orb, but otherwise she carried things off reasonably well.
On to Act IV - and to my surprise, frost nova still seems to be faring reasonably well at the static level of about 13-14 that I've had it for a while. I've still got the same mana intensive problems, mind you, but it does seem to be killing things in about say 4-5 hits. Izual I dealt with with liberal use of Frost Nova and Fireballs, and I made absolutely sure that a Frost Nova dealt the death blow (just had to have a bit of poetic justice). Elemenara's now got Blizzard at slvl 1, which lends some synergy support and provides me with some AOE support. I left her at the river of chaos waypoint, so now all that remains is the river of flame walking, the CS, the seal bosses and then it'll be time for Diablo himself.
I reckon I'll probably level once more before facing Big D himself (current clvl is 28)
and I haven't decided whether to put that point in fireball or FN - I'm edging towards FN though.
So her main weapons will be Frost Nova 12+2, Fireball @ 10, with some support from Blizzard @ 1, probably.
Anyone prepared to bet whether she can do it first time, with no deaths ? Or if not, how many before she emerges triumphant ? Advice, if anyone wants to give it, would also be welcomed :)
