The twinned bosses weren't any problem, but there were a few times I had trouble getting out of a crowd after Beyond monsters spawned.  I was even having trouble moving around with Leap Slam.  One thing that has been working well is using a Detonate Dead gem to explode undead corpses when there is a necromancer nearby.  On top of not needing to defend myself against something I just killed a few seconds ago, without corpses to raise, the necromancers seem to spend more time standing in the fire of my the Flame Totems.  I don't think I mentioned that I started using a Tabula Rasa while leveling to 70 in The Catacombs.  It was over a 50% damage boost, and it's just gone up from there as various support gems level up.

I'm curious about running a Mountain Ledge map.  The Ledge is a fairly tame zone, and the map boss is probably something like Kuduku, but it might have Lightning Warp on top of Kuduku's normal lightning abilities.  That's a little scary.  However, the skeletons shooting multiple arrows at me when I'm cursed with vulnerability doesn't sound fun.  The bad thing about this run is that the level 66 map I got is another Dunes map.  I might give one a try when I hit level 72, I hit level 71 in the run after this one.  The Dunes are just a scary place in that you can easily end up with a zombie apocalypse situation fighting the map boss, The Blacksmith.

I did buy 9 maps off a guy, I probably overpaid, but I got a good deal on Chaos orbs from selling Alterations and I'm not saving up for some specific unique, so just throwing currency at my map pool isn't going to hurt me.  The other thing, I'm getting good currency out of these runs, so it's not like I just threw currency away on nothing.  It will just take time to recover my investment.
