'I'm tellin Mom...FUUU' lol

[@Faisal-z6v7m]

Oh man running and no max block in hc is too dangerous

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I felt fine honestly, except for that 1 zombie

[@Azure_Black]

so close :)

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I was so surprised by the zombie hit. It casually pimpslapped me from full life to dead. I wasn't even worried and then I was dead

[@nickchapman1354]

You died to invisible lightning bolts from a Steel Scarab. It’s a visual bug that can occur. You can see your health being chunked down by the melee hits as well as some of the invisible lightning bolts at the same time. What a great run and such a cool way to enjoy the game ;)

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Ah, good to know. It was a sweet run for sure

[@nichtwichtig5699]

Dude these Mummies. That black Stuff they throw.. sometimes completly harmless. But sometimes so freaking dangerous. :D I lost more Chars on them, then on Dolls man. When you stay cool and dont overreact on Dolls .. i think the Mummies are my best least favorite Enemies. ^^

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah they randomly deal a ton of damage. I hate when they spawn as a champion pack cause it keeps rooms going so long with all the reviving

[@raphtremblay9377]

your video are just perfect mate ! i love assasin and love your video since the start lol

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Thank you so much!

[@phil-l]

is that Starcraft music in the background?

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yes. It's the zerg themes. The charname is kerrigan's first names. I did the same in my first bladesin video :)

[@Hdiber]

Amazing build and gameplay! The end was unexpected

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I didn't see it coming it all. They slapped me so hard

[@rajahzia]

Bit too aggressive for HC Hell. Also you cant allow yourself to get sandwiched like that. what was your light res? I think you were hit by sparks on the other side of the door, unravellers don't do that kind of damage.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I was doing fine. I get sandwiched like that all the time, just didn't expect to take almost 2,5k damage in the span of a second. My lightres was like 40 ish or something? Can't remember but I wasn't even feeling a bit worried while playing. Yeah someone else mentioned it being a glitch with the bolts that just obliterated me.

[@liffordius8630]

Rip another one bites the dust man the gear was amazing on this one God tier run crazy killing blow

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Rip. Thank you. Yeah that zombie slapped hard

[@MagpieMcGraw]

This build was my first solo guardian. I ignored Death Sentry and instead maxed Shadow Master. I also used a rogue mercenary. Her freezing arrows can actually kill phys immunes. I found Lycander's Aim in Act5 NM, so that helped. I stopped using Blade Sentinel in hell, and only used Blade Fury.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Oh man this is a tough one for a first guardian. Well done :) If I had a good bow I could see myself going that strategy as well. I did the entire playthrough with fury last time and ended up getting a bunch of comments wanting to see more sentinel, so I focused on using both :)

[@MagpieMcGraw]

@@thenuclearrabbit It wasn't that bad. The only difficult part was act5 hell. Shadow Master really helps in HC.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

True true. Death sentry was fine but nothing special. I should try shadoe master next time. Act 5 hell is hard on every build though

[@cichy133]

What the fuck was that zombies problem, holy shit.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I think it was me. And damn he clapped me

[@stofsk]

Too bad your run ended the way it did. Bladesins are really fun imo and hope you try again. I have one parked in Act 2 Hell because of a ladder reset. I don't recommend Death Sentry. You don't really have the points to max it out and Shadow Disciplines is full of so many great skills that really help out a Bladesin. Something like Venom would be better since its low duration coincides well with the attack frames of blade fury and gives you an elemental attack. You can even combine that with Iron Wolf fire mage merc from Act 3, his enchant applies to your blade skills! Fade is also something you might want to consider juggling between burst of speed for different situations. Finally the runewords Strength (Amn+Tir) and Pattern (Tal+Ort+Thul) can be made in claws and they can take you pretty far! I prefer going dual claws with assassins coz, well, she's the only one who can actually wield them and it looks cool. Good luck next time and loved the StarCraft music!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Bladesins are a ton of fun for sure. I've completed one on the channel before but wanted to go again with the next hit delay patch. I was trying out sentry cause I didn't like venom at all last time I played this. I'll probably just go shadow master or something next time. I could try an act 3 merc next time. I know about those runewords but I found a butchers pupil :) I get wanting to do double claws but in a run like this you don't really get a choice. They do look cool though. Thank you! *edit* rest of the reply

[@Lucas-tl4tb]

When he says that the build is still kinda bad after the changes and immediately compares to bowazon 😂 😭😭😭

[@thenuclearrabbit]

It plays like a bad bowazon. Elemental bowazon is much stronger :)

[@ryanmartin674]

I totally thought all your runs were full p8 🤷‍♂️

[@thenuclearrabbit]

I usually go p8 when I'm farming experience. Rest is done on varying player settings :)

[@AdventurestGaming]

Nice run! The text feels much more structured. Did you change something?

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yes. All kidding aside, I changed the pacing of the story a lot which forced me to structure what I'm talking about way more than I'm used to. If you want the super technical answer. My scenes used to be 4-8 seconds but I tried cutting down to 2 -6 seconds which speeds the story up a ton

[@AdventurestGaming]

@@thenuclearrabbit It's a little bit too fast. If you blink you can already miss some : ))

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Good to know. Thx for the feedback :)

[@waino5445]

Damn, that’s not fair

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah that was rough

[@DMBlade4]

Great run. It's unlucky how it ended but your drop luck was amazing

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah I was seriously considering the ubers when I found that key. Don't know if a bladesin can do them, but I was willing to find out. The tomb had other plans though

[@mathewbollington9569]

I'm starting to think D2R has been rigged to give dolls in the Durance for every first time in for a character. I fkn hate dolls.

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yeah the durance of hate is very aptly named for sure

[@blazedehart2748]

Dude i always hated blade fury so i never played bladesin but after the hit delay changes i made a blade sentry build and it is actually super fun! My first one died in NM to Radament death explosion. But the 2nd is now in hell farming!

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Nice! May she find many things!

[@redenici]

Videos are much better with music in background

[@thenuclearrabbit]

There is music in the background. It's a bit softer than usual though. I'll turn it up again a bit more next time :)

[@eddienash2095]

Ive been playing since D2 classic and I can never remember getting dolls on level 3...

It's really rare. I've had it like 5 times over the course of years of grinding

Walk, dont run. You wont get clapped as hard

the commentary about Diablo's home furnishings...Neo says whoa

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Whoa

[@MagpieMcGraw]

The commentary in this video seems different. Are you reading a script or something?

[@thenuclearrabbit]

Yes, but it's not the first time I did that. The editing and pacing is very different from my usual style. A few mistakes snuck in as well without me realizing they did. Which is probably what your noticing. Very sharp!
