Some Hell countess runs

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hi,

my last countess runs were in Octobre and as my rune stashes were depleted,
I thought it time to do some more running.

So I stacked my barb up with MF (can't hurt) and went to hell on players 1
+ 2 (5 runs on players 1 and then 5 on players 2).

After 30 runs each there is no real difference (as some people say).

P2: 67 runes LEM, FAL, IO
P1: 61 runes DOL, DOL, KO

Not too shabby for 5-6 hours of running.. And I found another Gheed's
Fortune and a second pair of Marrowwalk boots (even with Skeleton Mastery +
2 instead of +1).

But why is the Countess so effing bad on dropping uniques??? The Marrows
were dropped by some other monsters and I don't remember her dropping any
unique..

With about 350%MF on my barb and another 50 on trusty might merc - who did
about 90% of the Countess kills - I would have expected at least a few..

Regards,

Oliver

I don't know, back in 1.09 I got at least 2 Buriza's off of her in Hell, and
I don't know what else. No high runes though
