Gambling in LoD is quite different to vanilla DII: do it a lot early on! Throughout Normal difficulty, I gamble for all my equipment: that way I generally have all-Rare equipment, and I have the base-types I wanted :) It's the BEST way to get Crossbows in Act II! Hmm...
He managed to pry a Vicious Light Crossbow of Readiness late in the Act (as I recall, it was culled from Andy herself) which he's now shooting in Act II. Wow, those Act II mercenaries really picked up a boost in constitution, didn't they? Never remembered a "meat shield" from stock D2 being quite so able to handle punishment.
I called together the whole stable of characters, but the only one I'm playing so far is the Paladin. I did run up the Druid for a quick dash into the Den of Evil, but had to quit before I laughed myself (or hisself) to death as I mutter, "Friend. You friend!" in a Frankenstien-esque voice as I watch the Druid walk and fight.
I swear, first time I make a Druid on Battle.net, I'm naming him Herman_Munster. Then again, I don't think I'd be the first...
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
