Well,after loosing a 67 bowazone,a *87* bowazone,and a 76 summoner
including all my mf-gear I didnt log in my HC account for a week now.
Besides the usual mules there is only a 87 Fanazealot left,at least he
has the best gear concentrated on him,though no mf-stuff.
Have to admit,was all my fault,no boss packs at stairs or so,simply
became over-confident.
87 Bowazone died to 2 Oblivion knights cause I was impatient and
didnt cast decoy ahead,also probably not the best idea to run
Diablo Hell with negative resists.
76 summoner died when I was impatient again,skelly army was blocked
at a doorway in Catacombs and I wanted to lead them into the room
and run ahead without recasting a golem - a Dark Lord Boss pack got
me,again probably a bad idea to run around in mf-gear with negative
resists.
Although I have a Lycander's Aim and a Witchwild String on a mule
I cant be bothered to build another Bowazone which is my favorite
class besides Fanazealot.
SC seems pointless now,tried to reactivate my interest with some
Diablo kills with my Strafazon which was always my favorite activity
but somehow there is something missing,SC feels like sand box
mode now,cant express it better.
Sorry for pointless whine.

Been there ... done that ..... feel your pain. The malaise will eventually
pass and you will be back a stronger smarter player. At least that is how
it went for me.
Best of luck, Jeff

Ouch. The hurt will pass, though.

It happens. At least it wasn't unfair, like lag, a stair trap, or a
PK cheat.

Uh, yeah...

Maybe if the 87 had been using the WWS her resists would not have been
so low.

Yep. It's just harder for me to care about a SC char.

Found the WWS shortly before she died and was using an upgraded
Buriza (which my 0 mf Pally found in *Nightmare* from the named
outside Crystalline Passage,well,as much as I whine here about bad
drop rate for once I was really lucky) with high strength requirement.
So her equipment was centered about meeting the requirements for
the Buriza which also didn't help with resists.
I was planning to switch to the WWS,when I find another Pul rune for
upgrading.

I hear you, brother. I haven't played for a week since I lost my level 83
skellimancer to a doll that just popped out from the side behind my army.
Really annoying. I'm currently playing Gothic 3 through, now that the 1.6
patch has arrived. I never finished it before, as I got stuck behind a few
bugs. When I'm done with that, I'll go back to the HC ladder.
Mark.

MARK! Dammit I was wondering where the heck you were. We can replace most of
the gear on your necro easily. I am about to turn 91 with mine! I am like
number 164 on the necro ladder. When you do get back I have a full set of
keys, I need a bo'er and a little assist with the ubers.

Another thing I started to do. I have been joining public Hell Baal games
just as everyone leaves. This makes all the monsters on the way to the
throne set at a higher level, like using players 8 in single play. The point
is, before I jump through the Throne of Destruction doorway, I have my
minions at full strength, 12 skells, 6 mancers (fodder) and 12 monsters,
along with my mercs revies, usually 2 or 3. so say 32 man army. Then I drink
a red pot right before I click on the doorway. That way I am less likely to
be hit, and my health is already replenishing at a high rate. It has saved
me several times from dolls and gloams. I think I am getting at least 3
times the xp by doing this than just running Baal myself. I clean out WS2
and 3, and then the Throne. Good luck...
