Decided to play a Shalore Necromancer , and for fun to start in Insane difficulty (that i unlocked with a
Dwarf Oozemancer some months ago)
So i start in the scintillating cave as expected, immediately next to the stair and so to me, there's a bear, ok instead of retreating, let's try to see if that guy can at least kill the 1st monster he see.
shield rune on, then invoke darkness to try to shoot the thing to death.
Well it didn't really go well, my shield is down and the bear is nearly undamaged despite the couple of invoke darkness shots.
I was going to summon a minion when i see an rare/elite snake coming , ok that's very bad .
I shoot my invoke darkness , again damage is so ridiculous that it looks the thing isn't even hurt.
Time to exit, oh i can't ? i'm under some kind of effect, last chance, let's use my Phase Door spell
Great it phased away enough, hmm what is that, another rare/elite snake at 3 tiles of me ?
No escape from such a thing as snakes are always faster even with my 16% speed bonus from the Shalore talent.
I decide to use the Phase Door rune this time and i move only slightly away.
... only to see the other rare/unique snake and the bear appearing at the entrance of that room.
Fortunately my Phase Door spell comes online, let's try and ... wow, i moved next to one of the 1st elite/rare snake while the other close in, let's use the shield that came back usable
Poor shalore necro, couldn't do much
