What would you think of....

Okay, got bored pretty fast...  Played poison creeper again, just finished act4 with him at lvl 27.

And I went back to playing onlyPets!

At first I thought the account was hacked as the superior sash was missing. I knew that was too much of a temptation for anyone. I should not have mentioned it.

He was almost an entire difficulty level higher than when last we met. We raised the siege of Harrogath, but I decided that at 43 he was a bit too precocious for where he was playing -- besides, he was either rushed a lot or people cleared act III nightmare in one long run, except for Great Marsh and the Durance. I thought he should take it easy and fatten up a bit.

I made a couple changes. First I noticed Jelani was fighting with no sword or armor. None. This was strange, as I had left him with a cobalt sword (10%), good armor and shield. When I found him he had a shield of sorts, and he was still wearing the crown I left him with.

I made the decision that Jelani had served well, and I retired him in favor of Hazade, a might mercenary. For Hazade I was able to fashion a couple useful trinkets: a Malice Poleaxe and a Strength Superior Scythe. He is unsure which he currently prefers.

I also decided that FenrisWulf was right, and onlyPets was cut out to be a hunter. If I had much doubt, going hand to hand with Shenk's friends convinced me otherwise. Unfortunately he did not happen to have a bow. I found a four socket repeating crossbow and stuck in two perfect emeralds. Cheesy, I know, for a hunter, but effective. I found a two socket one and was going to make Zephyr, but his Ort rune was no longer in inventory.

He is still in possession of his melee equipment, except for Civerb's Ward, Gleamscythe, and Bloodrise -- which I put on a mule in case anybody wants them.

Interesting how different people favor different attributes. I had left onlyPets with enough hit recovery to make the second hit recovery breakpoint. Tonight he didn't even have enough for the first. He also had lower resistance. Yet he had managed to make Act V nightmare.

He is now 44, and Hazade is 41. OnlyPets had no real problems, but Hazade is still a bit too fragile. We shall see what time will bring. A level 15 bear with might aura is most impressive.


Edit: Jelani's sword was +10% lightning res, not cobalt...need sleep.

Edit #2: Langolier, I owe you an apology. I just re-read your last post. I did not realize that shield on Jelani was 250 def -- I sold it when I retired Jelani.
