hmmm dont know if you guys care, but a try to keep this forum more or less alive
i just reached l26 yesterday, and beat Laz for the first time.
Had about 10 pots with me starting the game, cleared l1 for another 8 and dove into hell, met Succubi and Vortex Lords. Put on my Amber LBB (worst bow i kept) took pretty heavy damage from fire and magic, but managed to stun most, use a lot of walls against the succubi. Took down Gorefeast for a damnable hard leather.
did find Inferno which i id'd after the game (finally had 8 scrolls in my possession) i took it with me to see if it might help me in beating Laz and Advocs next time (wearing it while stone cursing).
Lvl 14 featured more Vortex Lords and Snow Witches instead of Succubi. Used to beat the Vortex Lords by walking up to the one that is most alone and stun him down with a bow, those guys walk very arrow consuming. Layout of the lvl was exactly the same as 13 and being low on pots went to 15 straight away. Switched to my Obsidian sb for less damage, although it doesnt stun, switching to my most damaging lwb-maiming when wanting to stun opponents.
Landed straight next to Laz room and took out creatures around (cabalist & snow witch) got out Vex and Jade, alas at the same time. Stone Cursing them took a lot of mana, an i died to Vex when she got two blood stars trough, while Jade was down already. Went back in (after res burn) with only my heavy swb of shock (2nd strongest bow) stone cursed and took her down, for a helmet and a cloak :(.
Taking down 2 advocs and 2 Hell Spawns i went out of pots and didnt try Laz yet, and i wanted to find Bloodlust and Vizier too, because of the bad drops up to now.
Cleared l2-4 for an incredible low number of 14 pots and 4 scrolls of healing, but it would be just enough. Went back to 15, were only one advoc and laz were left, het tp'd out of the room, so i could easiliy stone and beat him, for a large axe...
Cleared 1/2 of l15 before i found bloodlust, who managed to kill me in between the second and third stone curse. More Walking (found ac 48 plate on the way which i put on along with Obs bow) and took her down on the second try. Dropped an Ammy, finally :). Continued for the Vizier which appeared after 3/4 of l15, he went down pretty easy to the maiming bow, along with his pack, he dropped a LWB, along with a FPM from his pack. Had one full red left at this stage, so i called it quits. (time, and not willing to clear cats for pots). Reached l26 while taking on the Vizier.
Id-ing showed me the (1)FPM was Vigor 19 (ac 68), but i can only wear it with my best str equip (+19 ammy, +8 ring, +8 all ring and 55 base=90) and i dont want to miss out on my lions ammy 60 yet. Keep it around for if i manage to find a titan ring somewhere.
(2)The Ammy was a 15 heavens ammy, great although as said, cant wear it with FPM yet, 4 short, witht he craftmansip plate i can, but i doubt whether its more useful right now than the 60 lion, i'll compare some in the next game.
(3)The Helmet (ac5) was a precision helmet (20), much better than the vigor i wore, so i put it on.
id 4 was for the Inferno, id5 for the LWB, of vigor 18 alas, and worse then my top 3 (maiming lwb, heavy/shock swb, obs sb), dropped it there, along with the amber lbb, to make room for the FPM.
id6 on a morning star i found made it Lord's, worse than Gnarled Root, id7 for a mace of the Ages, drop both. took one id to next game.
Id'd the stuff with Cain which i havent used scrolls for (out of curiosity) and noticed that the ammy i found in l3 was a Raven20/Brilliance13... would have been great glasses, but alas. Also found an Immolator and a Torn Flesh in the dungeons, always fun to see.
suppose i'll try taking on D for the first time soon.
