Random musings:

As the name suggests, Hunter was going to be a Hunter but a distinct lack of end game bows made for a change of plan. I was going to use a cut down Fury for act bosses, so the logical step forward was to go the whole way. The use of a rogue with ctc Amp Dam (thank you pharphis) and the CB bug meant that PIs were not too much of a problem. After the inconsistency of the rogue’s Amp Dam I thought “Hell I could use it too” and a triple Shae’ed Double Bow is nice and quick using Fury. PIs simply stopped being a problem after that! I ran the Hell Chaos Sanctuary as a true Hunter and really had little problem. The Grizzly pinned things down and the two archers filled it full of holes. Perhaps I could have been a pure Hunter after all, but I was happy the way things turned out. I kept the Ravens and the Carrion Vine up the whole time and they were always a handy to have around. An interesting point though, when Fury was assigned to the LMB it required very precise mouse work or the wolf would simply run passed the target, but when it was on the RMB the wolf would attack his summoned critters. Weird! So that’s four down; Barbarian, Amazon and Assassin to go and all three are already in Hell.

Wow! That charm!

Congrats on the Pat! I love furying with a bow. =)
Did you level him solo all the way in 1.07? I haven't yet done that much 1.07, but I plan to. Which spots were good to level up in?

I've got a 20% resist all GC and a 6% resist all SC too. I only ever play solo and never rush a character. As for levelling, there's no real area that I've found that is all that effective, but cow running for a few levels in NM before going into Hell seems to help.

Extra congrats then! Might want to include that somewhere for those who don't know about no /players command in 1.07.
Thanks for the tip about the cows. =)
