Witch Doctor Endugu just dropped Griswold's Edge and Hailstone Wrap armor! I'm back!

I got Griswold's Edge from Duriel, but Hailstrone Wrap is quite a find!. Full Plate Mail correct? 


Yeah, full plate! 111 defense and some decent stats. I have all resistances around the 60-ish level now, halfway to level 32. The Council was a walk in the park, did they nerf some bosses in 1.13? Even on "players 8" I kicked their ass hard along with the frost mage. He died once though. Mephisto was also fairly simple, I usually keep my distance since his poison paired with melee can make healing a disaster but when my mage died I simply rushed him and killed him up close. Took a little while but I barely spent a beltfull of potions and my HP was never below 50%.

I do dread the seal bosses in diablo's shrine on "players 8" though... I imagine this is the worst area in all of the original.

I've found a slew of other rare items but none of note. I did find a decent ring though, a unique one that sports 20% mana steal (!) among other things. First truly worthwhile piece of jewelry I've found so far!

I love seal bosses in Diablo's chamber! They are especially fun with Trap Assassins since you can setup a welcome party for them

Not quite as fun in melee... The problem arises when I'm swarmed by mobs with a lot of health, my Zeal attack doesn't cut effectively into the HP of each single mob since it is divided among all mobs around you so the entire gang gets a lot more time to bash your skull in. Boss groups with cold enchantment and with the extra fast enchantment are no fun either since every attack click starts a sequence of attacks that I can't abort, when you're frozen this can take up to two seconds or so, two seconds better spent running away!

I've died twice so far, once was simply because I wasn't paying attention and forgot to heal and the other was when I was swarmed by a boss gang of beetles, their lightning sort of stung really, really bad...

 

Edit; lestat, yeah 20% rocks, I have no use for mana potions any longer and can add more healing to my belt (which I do need...). Even enemies and bosses with mana burn die quickly since each hit yields so much mana and Zeal allows such an insane hit rate. Good times!
