Delicious Loot Drops

TopSecret begins his Season 5 ladder journey with a normal Counter drop of two Eth and one Tal. These drops set him up nicely for his character’s progression, allowing him to create a stealth runeword and play with fire. He also highlights the excitement of unexpected loot drops, like the 2-20 Java gloves he receives from normal Bail, triggering a dopamine rush.

Season 5 Progression

After some Nightmare Countess runs, TopSecret manages to collect the complete Trang-Oul’s Avatar set for his first Season 5 Spirit. He showcases the set’s stats, including 31% FCR and 108 Mana, which are close to the maximum rolls. This milestone is deemed a success. He also finds his first Season 5 Skiller, a poison and bone skiller for The Necromancer, which is useful early in the season.

Enchantress Sorceress Build

TopSecret experiences a momentum shift when Nightmare Diablo drops him the Demon Machine, a key piece in a new enchantress sorceress build that has gained popularity in recent seasons. He proceeds to farm Countess runs to acquire an AR rune for his Crescent Moon runeword, which is the best slot for his current build until he can afford an Infinity runeword.

Exciting Drops and Completion

Throughout his playthrough, TopSecret encounters various drops, including unique amulets, ethereal items like the Sunstorm Trek boots, and the highly anticipated Arm of King Leoric for his Crescent Moon runeword. He also completes his playthrough by defeating Baal and shares some additional drops from the Terror’s End quest and the Arcane Sanctuary.
