I created Nair to play on B.net and just finally give this variant a chance.
I've learned two new things while playing him:
-It's not 'just Lightning'
-Half a screen is too close.
60 hp and 548 mana. This means your life is your ammunition. Sort of like casting Bloodstar at eveything.
After a day spent duelling on B.net, the cobwebs cleared and I was feeling good enough to do a 3@30. The problem was I only had 3 Infravision scrolls.
I scummed games till I got one with a staircase to 14 near the town stairs.
14 Infravision, and two 'ports to stairs to 15.
15 cabalists and azures, both are suseptable to Fireball : )
Laz's house. Snipe the ladies, unleash Manson on Laz.
16 Infravision. Advocates everywhere. Eventually, I work my way behind the lever house. A couple of Clainlightning glory runs (still about 10 Advos in front of D's house) brings out big D.
Diablo was surprisingly easy to kill with Fireball. Took my whole belt though. Had to start drinking from the bag. Of course I wanted a real fight after SC+Golem for an hour, and was easy on the Firewall.
I'm going to keep playing Nair. One day, I'll have maxed spells and I'll finally be free of reader gear.
