He's hardCORE and a BARbarian. And deeply ashamed of his name ....

Well, I made it. Yup: Corebar makes Guardian.

He's my first Guardian and apart from a bit of MFing, he's MP'd all the way. My thanks to Lpr and TmX for being great companions (and protectors - I'm happy to hide behind a sorceress, thanks) Very Happy

The Crystalline Passage proved I was hosting: five boss packs in the space of two screens, three of which were Might enchanted. That and the Convicted Quill rats a few doors down. The Anya bit was the worst for me. I hate those witch things that throw fireballs. WSK wasn't too bad; Deathlords. Obviously there were Gloams; I was hosting.

I'm looking forward to my next HC MP; great co-operative play.

I will probably MF with this guy. NM Memphy first then Hell. I just don't want to get him killed ... Cheers for reading.
