Nidhogg should look way more epic not like a retarded lizard.

Had to kill Loki 2 times because TQ crashed before I took the screenshot.

Manticore is still tankable in epic (with a scroll in that case).

I'm very sorry for this: i am withdrawing my character from the challenge.. x3 is my preferred mode anyway.. and besides, i just want to play to enjoy.. that's without being always on my toes.. sometimes i play when very sleepy.. or tired.. maybe even drunk although i haven't in a very long time now.. i can't do that when I'm in HC challenge.. also, my 4gb ram couldn't handle act 5 full xmax.. in normal act 5, i had a lot of freezes and crashes to desktop

so.... medea, you can remove my name or whatever.. again, very sorry
i are TQ titans
i are many people

Nothing to be sorry for botebote77.  It's entirely up to you whether you want to do the challenge or not.  I understand your feelings.  I sometimes play a character just because I want to enjoy the game without having to try not to die all the time.  If you're not enjoying yourself whatever you're playing there's no point in continuing.

Despite killing Nessus many many times I have found only 1 legendary item... while farming the Minotaur. I don't remember drop rates being that low. I used to get atleast a few common legends like Doxa Kalo but nothing this time, the only 1 was a thrown weapon so it was useless. Didn't want to go that far with normal equipment but seems that I have no choice. A lot of epics at the early stages were just items from the 5th act at normal.

So the next farming spot at Nehebkau :D

Have you the steam version Bote ? Act 5 was unplayable in my old PC until march but the latest patch really improved fluidity. That said, you didn't choose the easiest path with an elementalist.

WNG, i see in your pics that you are currently playing with Nidbow, what's your feeling about it ?

Regarding drop rates, purples items tend to drop at higher rate from epic act 3 iirc. By the way, maybe you already know this trick Overnight: if you expect doing a long session play, it is worth to quit and relaunch the game until you have a fair legendary (or MI) drop rate.

nope.. but mine is v 1.57 and it's the latest right?

That said, you didn't choose the easiest path with an elementalist.
true but I'm still playing a caster so it's not really the problem.. it's like a chef's pride when they have to cook something they don't know.. "it's still food and as long as it's food, i should at least do good".. I'm reading too much manga lol

my pic describes my approach to the build: gear defensively and not too much int.. as for the damage, that's something I'm willing to bet eye of the storm and EE can carry even with low int.. but i really don't think damage will be a problem.. all these years of playing casters, I've learned one thing: successive spell casts with low %damage is better than high %damage but can't do successive spell casts

the problem is: i really don't feel like playing
i are TQ titans
i are many people

It's very strong, but I believe it's only good if you have both Hunting and Spirit masteries (aka if you play a Bone Charmer.)

Yep, i really missed Volley and Passing through ennemies from hunting mastery.

Act 4:
Spoiler for Hiden:

I tried an immune setup with Hades but the dps from the spellbreaker was so low that immunity with a scroll only stands with the 1st Hades form. The damage input from the 2nd form was sustainable though. I don't think it could work on legendary Hades.
