I had never done this, but some days ago I went down to hell with my fresh lvl 17 rogue. I wondered if this wasn't going to be too hard, so I went down carefully. The first drake I activated (don't recall the exact name) did cost me 1/3 of my potions. After defeating him, I awoke 4 other Drakes, killing me in seconds. I wasn't experienced in getting back my char, so it took me half an hour until I had all my items back (don't ask).
So - I realize it is difficult, but is it really that hard? I mean, do you twink your chars?
If it already is that hard on normal, how can you achieve your second and third dot?
I couldn't do it and went back to caves for up-leveling. Perhaps my setup is extraordinarily weak?
Here we go:
AC: 40
Life: 122
Mana: 68 (?)
Damage: 15-19
CTH: 107%
Currently using: Warrior's Hunter's Bow (15%CTH/56%Dam), Ring Mail of Precision (17 AC, +11 Dex), ? Helm of the Wolf (AC 6, +23 HP)
Ring of Precision(+11 Dex), Topaz Ring of Precision(+11 resall, +9 Dex), no Amulet (haven't found one, yet).
I cannot quite recall all my stats, but they must be something like:
Str: 55/55
Dex:54/85
Mag:25/25
Vit: 40/40
Healing is slvl 3, Town Portal is 2. Fireball is 2, too, but I don't use it too often.
Reading Glasses give me 55 Magic.
What's wrong with my setup?
Is it truly that hard?
Maybe I just have to be more lucky in finding a good damage bow and higher AC. :(
If you all play un-twinked, that is...
