Yes, this is my first hard core map completion, and it was in a challenge league to boot.  In some ways the challenge league is a bit easier in that you can find a group to take down Dominus at the end of cruel.  However, I've been playing solo for the most part.  The grotto map has once again been confirmed as an easy map for me.  I did have a few issues with beyond monsters, but for the most part it was a smooth run.  The overlord's modifier really didn't seem to matter, and the large numbers of magic monsters were good for my experience.

I don't know that Flame Totems are any stronger or faster than Searing Bond totems, but I think I'm having more fun with the Flame Totems.  They just feel a bit more active somehow.  I did pick up the enduring cry gem I got from the Facebreaker Scion, and I feel a lot better about my character's tankiness with a few endurance charges up.

Thrilled to get two map drops from my first Beyond map run.  I'm going to try one of the Overgrown Ruin maps next.  Hopefully the boss isn't too hard.  This was a profitable run, but I really want to be able to sell a few Chaos Orb recipies soon.  I've got a lot of inventory space tied up with things I can't quite use.  I also found a nice chest armor upgrade if I could get a bit more cold resistance from somewhere else.
