Stupid Stormlash...

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

Both last season and this season I popped a Unique Scourge from a
level 85 area (The Pit, Ancient Tunnels)...

Both times I ID them and what do I get?

Horizon's Tornado!!!

Damn Blizzard!!! They should have only made one unique scourge!!!

That's nothing. I'd be happy to find ANY elite unique. Heck, I'd even
be happy with the exceptional ones! Last night I found a "Toast
Schtrudel Flamme" or whatever it's called, and I was practically doing
backflips!

Gonna upgrade me a Colossus Blade, yeah!

That's probably my problem right there. I absolutely REFUSE to
sacrifice playability for MF, which usually means that about 100% MF is
all I can reasonably expect. That typically translates to a couple
ptopaz's in helm & armor, a Rhyme shield, and maybe a nagelring.

The previous ladder I popped two golden Scourges from the River of Flame.
The first one was a rather nice Stormlash, around which I built a very
nice Fanatic Zealot.

The 2nd one that popped, turned out to be a Horizon's Tornado.

It's only since yesterday-evening that I have ventured into Hell with my
skelliemancer (all resists are around -50), but he has finished Act I
Hell, and is on his way in Act 2. I'm curious if I grind to another big
halt in the Maggot Lair...

Regards,

Patrick.
