I still managed to die within the first hour of being back online…
It was an easy fix for the technician to patch up my line. He worked in the snow and even got my internet to go through a better line of cable.
My speed has increased quite a bit. I had thought that Spectrum was throttling my Internet, but it was actually just old cable slowing it down.
I got caught in an arched doorway being attacked by a dog. I had a Carnage Reaper on one side and a famine on the other.
DOOM.
It was fated to be so, as I had just withdrawn all of my savings and had all the good gear I had farmed on my person. The gold seal hireling, which I had out leveled and kept thinking I should put in the bank. All gone.
My new reaper toon is Gozoh.
A Dragonborn Sorcerer/Paladin using the Eldritch Knight tree and the shocking touch from Air Savant. I have Maximize and Empower to take out shamans and reapers fairly easily at close range.
I am using the nice shield I had crafted, running sword + board. I will get Chain Lightning at level 16 so I can nuke everything in the level 12 quests.
I have made it to level 7 and have 2 reaper points again. A slight improvement over the last life, likely due to various hardships making me step up to the challenge.
