Hi,
so I finally decided to take my level 86 Strafezon onward to Baal. I made
her a PASSION Matriarchal bow, so reaching 2fpa Strafe only needed about
35% IAS on gear. Hit blinds target and 145 max damage are quite helpful,
too. Tal-Rasha's helmet provided 10% mana/life leech, which was more than
enough with Strafe.
As she had just reached Act5, my Patriarch throwbarb gave her all the
important waypoints. And I wanted to make this a 2-girl event, taking my
Enchantress along the way. As the sorc hadn't killed D before, we had to
go to the Chaos Sanctuary. Even with a level 35 Enchant, it was very slow
going. We finally killed Diablo, but the Sorc didn't get the quest -
dunno why not.
Too lazy to do D again, I brought in my Demon Limb for Enchant and went
straight for Baal. Well, we had to do the Ancients first. Might merc got
Reaper's Toll and we took a bunch of full rejuvs and went for it. This
darn leaping barb must have really loved me, as he jumped on me whenever
he could. Merc and Valk had to do most of the killing, as I was busy
running away, turning around, fire off a strafe volley and run again.
Finally, we got them all and could go for the real business.
WSK2 and 3 weren't too bad, especially as on WSK3, the portal to the
throne was just around the next right corner. Well, the Throne level was
packed with baddies, but FA stopped them cold and Strafe blinded them.
Only Lister put up a fight, but finally had give in to Decrep. Now we
prepared for the big boss. Fresh Enchant, full fresh set of rejuvs and
arrows and off we went. It looked quite easy at first, as Baal went down
to half health quite fast.. But then he spawned his darn brother and lots
of these vines. I couldn't leech from them and even a full rejuv only
provides mana for 3-4 FA's and one Strafe or so.
Well, I hadn't yet learned not to Strafe when Baal spews his fire.
Luckily, while hitting buttons 1-4 to down a potion, I also brought up a
town portal just before dieing. We regrouped in town, I gathered my last
few rejuvs and went for the body. TP back to town and buy a bunch of mana
pots. Leather, rinse, repeat. I think I died 4 or five times, but finally
the big boss went down! Once again, nothing worthwile to loot, but at
least another Razortail...
So, Greetings to my first Matriarch Witchy!
