Beating Nemesis without rares or uniques

Whether a SC witch is easy to do with only blue gear or not, I think NotRegret's point was to prove that you do not necessarily need godlike gear to do well in this game. It's not even as if he'd play "self found" like any other person might, but he's vendoring rares (and uniques? definitely not wearing them at least).

I'm very impressed by NotRegret's achievements. :D
Keep it up.

I'm not sure what you are suggesting by the bolded part.Clarification ?

I'm impressed with his dedication and happy for his achievments.

This is some great shit you're doing man. I'm really looking forward to see (read really) you get to merci dominus. I just wonder how you have the time to do all of this AND write those massive walls of text. You must have all the time in the world lol.

Also I read that you port to town very often when needing to refill your potions (esspecially in the cruel Dominus fight) and that you have your inventory key bound to "i". Did you ever consider re-binding your inventory key to another button? I have mine on F1 and it makes things much easier. I bet it would do the same for you since the "i" key is quite far.

Actually, maybe you could do it over, OP, and this time, just to actually prove your actual point, you could use a class that ACTUALLY NEEDS EQUIPMENT!!!

A Stormcaller Witch!!!

Jea, right, tell me another one.

If you want to prove anything, use a meleeclass, like a Marauder or a Duelist. Lets see how far you go with blue equipment when you need to go toe to toe with your enemies.

I am playing a melee character with only life rolls 30 from corals 2x and 40 from leather belt implicit mods. All of my items lack life rolls (on purpose to challenge myself)
And i am at cruell piety/dominus next. So far no real issue's have arised, and i am not even using 2x corrals atm.



This is all self found.

The op in this thread is trying to demonstrate it is posible to clear the game with only decent blue gear (which is by most viewed as sub-par) and is doing a fine job so far.
If you like to read about my challenge i encourage you to follow my thread i made about it. But it is hardly comparable to this thread since i don't write massive walls of text about my adventure, just little notes of my progress. (and i don't mean that offensively NotRegret, your massive walls of text are well written and highly informative to players)

I think you failed to understand the op's point of this thread.

Very inspiring read, I value my numerous blue drops a bit more now. :)

I would like to add, that by doing my challenge i also found out crafting a really solid blue piece is far less challenging then crafting a nice rare. Since there are more orbs that manipulate a blue piece.

And a blue piece with 80+ life and 30+ resist is very much a TOP piece to clear the game in let's say the first week of a new league :)!

I think this thread also demonstrates how it would be to clear the game in a first week of a new league. (minimal trade, small crafting etc and opting for blue pieces)

Gratz, but i must say
NOT FUN AT ALL

I hear minesweeper is a challenge, give it a go.

Doesn't suprise me at all that people do these playthroughs, hell i did a SL1(lvl 1) playthrough of Dark Souls, but i'm not as skilled at the game to try this. GL OP.

gotta love pyromancy =P

Sorry for off topic Noregret.

This thread has me riveted. I really like the advice you give and the way you explain what you did, why you did it, what went right, what went wrong and the ways you practice to overcome it. It makes for an interesting read.

I am torn whether I want to see you succeed or die in all of this. I really hope you pull it off because that will be an amazing feat but on the other hand I want to see you die to a mistake you make so I can see what you write about and learn from that. We only learn from our mistakes. ;)

Keep up the good work NotRegret.
