And so it came to pass, that after much quarreling (tradeing), much 
repetition (leveling) and much thought (highly unusual), once again i was 
ready to attempt the beast that is UT.

On my own this time (where are you!?!), i took my originally named 
TheUberSmiter (clvl 77) and equipped him with what i had. Guillamines 
helm(Pdiamonded), Seraphs hymn(2/2), Duriels shell, Dracs, Black runeworded 
knout, 40 base res sacred targe(4x Pdiamonded), Nos' coil and Gorerider 
boots. Items in the inventory didn't help much... a 13/13 anni, 14 RA GC and 
a few ~20 life LCs. I think his merc is about lvl 6 hehehe... she stayed 
dead :P
TUS' skills are maxed smite, maxed salvation, maxed holy shield and maxed 
fana.

First up in the lessers lineup, Duriel. This was also the first inkling of 
the disaster that was to come. Wimpy old Duriel, the lesser we used to 
chuckle at, was continuously hitting TUS for 2/3 to 3/4 of his lifeball. 
Fortunantly, lifetap went off early and it wasn't long before Duriel was 
eating the forgotten sand (i believe he forgot how awful it was).

Much thought was embarked apon before faceing Izual. It was decided that, 
with the realms being as stable as they are (lmao), Hammerdin would be 
bought in to tele to Izzy, and then TUS would smite him down.... we'd clean 
up the minions later! Well, after Hammerdin died 4 times, i enlisted the aid 
of my 7 yo son to throw hammers and add concentration, while TUS smited and 
fanatacized(haha, work that one out!)  proceedings. Many deaths followed, 
much curseing (not lifetap worse luck) but we did get him..... lifetap 
refused to trigger _at all_ during the battle... many, many purples where 
consumed.

Last up, my personal favourite, Andarial.... actually, she went down 
reasonably easy. Gulped a few poison pots, Hammerdin tele'd to her and threw 
a tp around the corner, TUS came in, lifetap went off on the second blow, 
and the rest was history, even though the young fella complained when Andy 
one hitted him through the wall :)

I had no intention of selling a organset, i think the current market price 
of ist is rather undervalued. Checking the stability of the game, i opened a 
beer, and proceeded to open the portal to UT.

Now, i have no idea what my stacked resistances are, but I drew Meph first, 
and that sucker was one hitting me every 3 minutes. Half the time, there 
wasn't even a chance to guzzle a purple, netherless my beer :(  Must of 
taken 8 or so deaths before the ugly bugger fell over. Of course, once Mephs 
conviction is done away with, Baal and Diablo are relatively easy and it 
wasn't long before they spat up 2 SoH and a Unique LC.....

Now, to sell the unid LC, or ID it? First run, much struggleing, much death, 
much anticipation ... Yep id it! Want to guess what it was?

10/10 Druid.

Ever seen a grown man weep over a game?
Not pretty!
