Well, well, Nightmare started of good enough, I suppose. My lowish resistances were still enough to keep me safe and see me through Act I, which I completed doing single pass full clears on p8.
An early Ironstone drop is usable, but not useful, I suppose
I had some mid-level rune drops (another Shael after I put the first one in a Rhyme Bone Shield, Hel, 2x Io etc.) and some exceptional uniques, which aren't usable though (Venom Grip, Skin of the Vipermagi (!!!)
After realizing, that none of my rolled head gear can have 3 sockets, I gambled a nice rare Skull Cap with 2 os and inserted my first Perfect Topazes into it:
I had an interesting fight against Pitspawn, because he was not inside the walled room, but inside the one with the bars. Being a melee character, I had to somehow lure him and his pack out while they could shoot at me and my merc. I somehow managed to do that and with only one merc revive I was able to beat him without endangering myself too much.
Another dangerous fight was against a Conviction Vampire boss mob. I was glad for the freezing ability of a fully charged Phoenix Strike, because then I could split up the group and take out the boss as one of the first ones. I had to be careful not to get hit by one of their blasts and I think this was the first time I used Full Rejuvs.
Andariel herself wasn't too bad and went down quickly, but her drop was really crappy - so crappy that I even forgot to take a screenshot...
Right now I am debating if I should continue to use my shabby rare Blade Talons (for the Attack Speed and AR, see below), or if I should make Pattern in my 3 os Quhab or Blade Talons - probabyl in the latter, because of the base weapon speed). We will see Any advice on that? I am also debating if I should switch to a HF merc or simply continue with my BA merc for the additional AR? Any advice is welcome!
