I did well on this map execept for the Rogue Exiles, but they didn't quite manage to kill me.  So from that persepective, I did just fine.  One was the guy who summons Ethereal Knives totems while throwing traps.  The other Leap Slams about and attacks very quickly with Molten Strike.  I had to Alt-F4 to escape death from him, although I later came back and killed him.  The guy with the totems, I just avoided.

Even though the Rogue Exiles gave me trouble, the large pack sizes were great experience.  I leveled running this map.

The loot was good and I got a higher level map out of the run, so nothing to complain about.  However, this experience made me try the other map I wanted to run with the much higher level Flame Tank Mark I characer.

I was once again bad about noting a date on which I ran this.  Let's call it Feb 5th.

This character is quite strong, but you still have to be careful when monsters do extra elemental damage and your maximum resistance are reduced.  However, the totems are doing the work for this character and he has high life regeneration.  I had to be careful, but I never needed to reach for the Alt-F4 key combo.

The loot from this run was fantastic.  I probably got a paltry amount of experiece since this character is ten levels higher than the map.  However, the mods are so nasty, I just couldn't see running it with a weaker character.  I didn't want to leave it sitting in the stash with the high degree of IIQ for the price of a single Transmutation orb.
