Well, I'm afraid despite my hopes, she didn't make it first time - in fact, she suffered five deaths before finally emerging triumphant. Most of them were due to LBoD and Firestorm, as far as I can remember.
On the positive side, her equipment held her in good stead - I remember she survived at least one full blast of LBoD without dying and with about roughly 1/3 of her life orb full. As I expected, I had to use mostly Fireball and Blizzard - it is very hard to sneak into Frost Nova range of Diablo without taking a severe beating in the progress - I did manage a couple of times, and for the record, Frost Nova did deal the death blow.
So, given the setback, will I still be doing a HC Frost Novaress of some sort?
Yes - I believe my problem was lack of power against Diablo - hopefully, If I'm either teaming up with people/and or put a few more points into a level 24 AOE skill (mostly likely Blizzard for the synergy, but we'll see.), that will hopefully make the difference next time.
. Plus, maybe in HC if I'm concentrating on getting vitality and life, that will make a
difference too.
So on now to Act V and Harrogath!
