After playing D2R online with a sorceress and enjoying the graphics, which are absolutely amazing, the quest for an anni and torch in SP was next.
This morning I finally conversed a lvl 85 paladin which was collecting dust to a smiter. My first smiter ever so that was a interesting experience. Not really that fond of the gameplay to be honest, but that did not matter given the goal.
I migrated my 3 paladins (Hammerdin lvl 97, Zealot lvl 90, Smiter lvl 85) as a vangaurd to D2R to start the migration off. For now I will leave it a those 3. Probably in couple of weeks I migrate my other chars except my MF sorceress in case GoMule takes a while to be D2R compatable.
The Smiter was equipped with Grief, Exile, Gface, Enigma, Drac's, Arach, Goblin Toe, skillers and light res charms. I never did uber tristram, so I was looking forward to that. The first run I was careful and I was actually surprised how "easy" it was. Obviously, I got cocky and when I went for torch number 3 I got killed 2 times in row and lost 2 Key sets. After Uber Mephisto taught me some humility I equipped Tgods (no wisp projector) and played more careful again. Still there were some dangerous moments.
Total count:
- 3 Anni's (0 SOJ's left in my stashes and characters...).
- 5 Torches (3 Barb, 1 Assasin and 2 Paladin)
- 54 Keys left for farming more sets.
Loading times were actually quite good today. Anyway, its a blast that this is now, finally, included in SP and I can't wait to get some more torches and a decent Anni (not complaining however ;-)).
