stunned when casting blink arrow, fun times
bad rng this time, no copper/jade until lvl 10 + no double RR
poleaxe at lvl 20

what up cuzz
I wasted the last couple minutes kiting merveil. Ahh.
New vendor recipe for +1 fire;

Ruby ring
Magic weapon

Oh wait.
Yep, shit RNG here to. Not a single bow drop by the time I first got to Merveil. Had to farm caverns for something, anything. I guess this is why people run spells.
Besides that Descent: Champions run and a really awesome burst I had, this was the best performance I've ever had.

I found this bow, but...



I was using Caustic Arrow in this weapon (no links).
I can totally see the difference one gem level can make now :D


Things I learned this race:

1. Maybe I'm not thaaaat bad at all c:
2. Check what will give points. I went all the way to the Golden Hand quest just to find out I wouldn't receive extra points for that LOL
3. CA is powerful in a +1. Else, won't do much, even though that extra chaos damage helps a bit on bosses.
