Despite my reasoning in the intro, I still don’t know fully what possessed me to do this run, but this does bring some things into light.
1. Am I cracked at this game? My build wasn’t that great, but I don’t think I can attribute this to me alone. Rather I think a large part of this is because…
2. Bee Stinger is a REALLY good weapon even without Stunning. The reach, grouping, and pushback of the weapon allowed me to attack a lot of mobs without being hit back, and handle them all relatively quickly.
3. Satchel of Elixirs really isn’t needed. It’s already an artifact I will throw on to quick get a potion I want for a spot and then swap back to another artifact, but some have talked about using it over Gong of Weakening. NOTHING keeps you alive and deals with threats better than Gong does. It’s both a 3x multiplier and it’s defensive. But this run here shows how often Strength Potions and Shadow Brews drop with just one Looting enchant on your ranged weapon. There’s no reason to not just run Looting and Gong. Looting and Satchel of Elixirs is completely redundant. You don’t need extra potion drops that you’re not gonna fully use.
Spider Armor is also good, but it wasn’t the Life Steal healing alone. It was a culmination of 6 forms of healing (4 main ones). I more so chose it because it’s the Life Steal armor that has no damage reduction. I wanted to make sure I was taking full damage per hit to really test the healing.
I wanted to see if, as long as I could live the hits, the raw healing alone could handle it. And it did it really well, considering I did it without health potions, without Gong, and while dealing with a group of Levitation Shot mobs…
That and Ghasts that can literally oneshot a player from off-screen without damage reduction. That’s fun. Shadow Brew came in handy for that.
Still, this doesn’t mean the build is good. In overwhelming situations it would fail, and all the healing speed in the world is useless if you’re getting oneshotted (which can happen during trials). This was just a fun experiment I wanted to try, just to see if I could do it.
