Nightmare Brawler Win
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 4:57 am
Previously, I've gotten a Stone Warden to High Peak and a Cornac Summoner win on Normal, and a Thalore Oozemancer to High Peak on Nightmare, all on 1.1.5. Tonight I managed a Nighmare win on 1.2.0/1.2.1 using a Brawler.
Six deaths. Two were "normal". One happened midway when my brain decided to apply my recollection of Unstoppable onto my Heroism infusion. Uh... no. The last three happened after I killed Elandar. Argoniel was taking a little while, but it didn't seem like a big deal. Even with a bunch of the portal monsters gathered around, they barely touched me and were dying on their own to my automatic counter-attacks. Then a forge demon came out. Of course other demons were spewing darkness all around, so I had trouble seeing what was going on. After a couple of failed attempts to close the portals, I had to ask in chat about how, as I had forgotten. I don't think I had bothered with my summoner. At any rate, I should have gone to bed and finished in the morning, but I was stubborn and lost three lives before I remembered to put on my demon telepathy. Even then, he was a right bitch to score a hit on, and the dreads didn't help any. Once I closed the portals and took care of the forge demon, Argoniel was easy, just time consuming.
Anyway, more lessons learned. Other than playing-while-stupid, this run felt the easiest yet, even compared to my runs on Normal. Some of that is how awesome the Brawler is, but it also shows just how much there is to learn about this game.
