one bar from level 55. Getting closer to that cap! I can't believe i already need to upgrade my weapon. I thought it was gdlk when i bought it.

Hell is a little less scary now. We can actually kill elites now. Time to farm!

@Oxyminus:
NM butcher is exactly the same only he hits harder and does things a bit faster. He is not that hard as long as you are prepared for him, which im sure you will be.

Aye I'm 51 now and hell is scary...time to farm the first third of the act until 55ish. Weapons and armor take a huge jump in the 50s it seems. I bought a crossbow from the vendor that has 330dps and vitality on it, holy moley makes me wish I was a DH.

[Ratatapa]

Euph - thanks for the info. Sounds like he'll be pretty straightforward, and not very difficult as long as I play smart.

Rata - I'm internetless again. I miiiight be on briefly tomorrow in the morning or around 2:00PM EST. If those times work, I'd love the help in some Butcher slaying! :0

nah im in a meeting atm so tonight or bust for me

But ill come help if you need help then LD

[Fireal]

Thanks Bagels, it happens. I was a little pissy, but now I'm over it. Kinda frustrating that 2 of my 3 deaths have been to lag spikes (the other to Belial, hehe). Plowed my OP DH through a3 last night, I'll be back in NM today.

[aurik]

Yeah it's nice that once you've been through normal a few times, it becomes really fast and not dangerous at all. Amazing what having a bit of twink gear will do I just beat Diablo on my 3rd character (barb), got the cheevo for doing Act 4 in under an hour (actually went from just-past-Siegebreaker to Diablo in about 1 hr), now 32 with only 7h25m played.

[Oxyminus]

I meant 2:00EST tomorrow. If that happens and you want to join, an extra set of hands is lead helpful

I think I might stay lvl'ing my alt, just to get it though normal ASAP. stockpiled a ton of gear for DH. Don't think it would take long.

[Plow]

Wow, farming Zoltun Kulle is ridiculous. You get 10K exp and about 1K gold in Normal per kill. At level 26 it takes about 100K to level up. The teleport pad is right next to the portal to the boss room. Super easy and super fast to do this repeatedly. I can start the quest, kill him, turn in, and start over in about 3-4 minutes total. Good way to power up.

I've been doing this with Diablo, but apparently he only drops rares the first time you fight him. He also only drops lv 22-27 shit on normal mode, which is annoying as hell.

My DH is getting pretty beast now too, gimme a hollar if you need a hand. Cleared a3/4 last night.

[Oxyminus]

Nicely done Rora.

And I love this thread, makes HC so much more fun!

[Gokku]

I'm level 46 on WD now 12.7k hp and 3500dps... how hard of a rectal exam is belial gonna give me? should i even try this solo?

[Roranora]

3.5k dps...?

you will roll him like I do a fallen overseer champion

i dropped under 1k dps to 9xx before the fight, going in with 18.5k hp or so

[aurik]

Thats good dps. My 52 WD does <2.4k and is in A1H.
Only thing I'd be worried about is HP, 12.7 is kinda low.

[Roranora]

oh yeah. i don't know those 2 people i'm with in the screenshot. i'm one of the few randoms you might see in public games; i've seen about everything you can in the first 6 acts. the game in which i killed belial was a 99%+ full clear from pre-Mahgda A2 i joined with at first a friend and several randoms at a time.

back in the Oasis, we had some asian (dunno; acct name fancy characters) wizard roll in at level 46 decked out 20.6k hp in dps gear. fun to watch. he was there for numerous fire chain combos with jailer, with vortex, with fast. 3 specific i can remember. we had a rough sewer but i told people i don't often remake games a level 41 monk was rolling in the sewers with us at a point until he died to fire chain desert hornet packs (he had 9.5k hp). he rolled on the wake of the other 3 in the game for awhile before dying steps into the eastern section. i had about 5-6 other random people join and leave for periods before either leaving for cool or angsty reasons both. i was hesitant to try belial but these two who had joined (only since Zoltan, they both missed the 2 bloods in the Desolate Sands) were all eager. i threw on a 19 hp / hit amulet and set frenzy and never really had an issue. i drank 2 potions comfortably used and comfortably paced out for the sole purpose of stabbing up Belial a little more (Asteria rolls a dagger right now o.O;;')

[Gokku]

Man A2 was full of me on skype screaming like a little girl but it was fun soloing it, so far im the only one on my fl to make it to A3 NM most get to the 30's and die to the 2nd half of A2.

[Ratatapa]

Well im back in a2 NM 14k HP and 1076 DPS lv 41 getting there!

[Oxyminus]

Fuck yeah Rata!

Awesome to hear you're right back at it!

Ugh my lack of Internet connection has me mad! I want to slay The Butcher tonight!!

[Ratatapa]

Just owned Mahga

Anyway if anyone gets the crumpling vault event in normal, and i'm on, make a sign plz i wanna thank woot and euphy for coming to the NM one but sadly we missed the 90sec achievement

[Odon]

Rerolled another WD since I haven't got much to do after killing Inferno Diablo, if anyone has any crap they don't want let me know :D

[Ratatapa]

Well Odon since you did inferno you should be able to do HC without a sweat so

[Oxyminus]

So there are perks to being a stoner and having no Internet.

Today I was considering that I'd swap out blizzard for ray of frost, since it has higher damage and it's a single target fight. Then remembered I can cast other spells or kite
While blizzard does it thing.... Need Internet already!!!

[Ratatapa]

But you have internet to talk to us!

ok time for bed for me, aiming for 43-44 tomorrow
