    Found time to take a couple more dives with this character, down to 2650' now, well into uncharted territory as far as I'm concerned. Finished off my last dive by clearing a small vault that Ar-pharazon, Shelob, and the Laernaean Hydra in it, which felt pretty good. Branded ammo is starting to show up semi-regularly at this depth, which is helping a ton.

    The newbie guide lists 2700' as a key depth for rNether and rChaos. How critical are these really? I've still yet to see anything with rNether. I have over 750 hp now, so I should be safe from being killed in a single breath as long as I'm paying attention. Should I just keep going deeper and stay alert? Switch cloaks to trade rShards for rChaos? I don't feel like I'm having significant problems at my current depth, so I assume going deeper is probably the right move; I'm just a bit nervous since I'm now 400' deeper than I've ever seen before, and don't want to lose this character to something stupid. I could cover a couple more resists or get my unhasted speed up to +11 with a couple wacky gear arrangements, but both of those involve less than 600 hp again, which seems like a bad idea.

    On an amusing note, despite being more than halfway down, Maggot and Mughash are both still alive. I haven't seen either all game.

      LOL, I love it when I can kill Maggot or some other DL< 5 unique in 1-2 rounds...

        I try not to kill Maggot but sometimes it happens accidently later in the game when my hero rushes through the town. ^^
