My 1.11b Hammerdin has reached clvl 99!
Here's the highlights of the last 40 million xp:
Corruption Coil
Ring
Required Level: 41
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 93
Fingerprint: 0x3d838428
+6 to Dexterity
Fire Resist +25%
Cold Resist +18%
Replenish Life +8
23% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
I finally gambled a rare ring with really high mf (23 out of a possible 25 when combining the prefix and suffix), and dual resistances, with one of them being fire! The absolute dream ring would have had FCR but at least there's nothing offensive about the dexterity or replenish life
. At the very least, it's sure bringing a lot more to the table than a Nagelring.
Then interesting drops got very very scarce until with 10 million xp left until clvl 99:
Stormlash
Scourge
One-Hand Damage: 10 to 272
Durability: 60 of 65
Required Dexterity: 77
Required Strength: 125
Required Level: 82
Mace Class - Very Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 94
Fingerprint: 0xe14942ba
+240% Enhanced Damage
Adds 1-473 lightning damage
30% Increased Attack Speed
150% Damage to Undead
Attacker Takes Lightning Damage of 30
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
+9 Lightning Absorb
20% Chance to cast Level 18 Tornado on striking
15% Chance to cast Level 10 Static Field on striking
I thought I had found
@Luhkoh 's Stormlash by mistake ... but then I looked at the stats ... absolute worst possible ED roll ... yeah, no ... this Stormlash was clearly meant for me. On the upside, the lightning absorb is perfect. I've also now completed the Stormlash Triple Crown: I've found one Stormlash at each of the Prime Evils. One at Mephisto on Battle.net long ago. One at Baal earlier this year. And now one at Diablo. Oddly all in 1.11b. What's that you say? The 'Stormlash Triple Crown' isn't a thing ... I'm just redefining success and declaring victory ... okay, you caught me ...
It looked like the Stormlash was going to be Helm-Hammerhand's last notable find before clvl 99 but then with four CS runs left to go:
Executioner's Justice
Glorious Axe
Two-Hand Damage: 220 to 456
Durability: 41 of 50
Required Dexterity: 55
Required Strength: 164
Required Level: 75
Axe Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 88
Fingerprint: 0xf8e56cf7
+268% Enhanced Damage
30% Increased Attack Speed
-33% Target Defense
25% Chance of Crushing Blow
50% Chance to cast Level 6 Decrepify When You Kill an Enemy
That's Helm-Hammerhand's second highest qlvl TC 87 find (beat only by The Grandfather).
All in all, the Chaos Sanctuary delivered some pretty good presents for hitting clvl 99!
