u/CHUNGATHEBUTT

I currently have prebuff treachery, smoke armor, bulwark, spirit shield, trang gloves, and insight.

I can use aldur boots or some 25 lightning res boots. String of ears belt or a 27% lightning blue belt. Rings are like 10 all res each but I'll need to swap them for some fcr rings. Amulet I have primsatic amulet 16 all res but I will probably need fcr ammy.

Are my only real option charms and fcr rings/ammy with all res. Maybe I am forgetting something. But I need to find another 60+ all res and I am thinking maybe the best way to do that is run lower kurast chests for charms and jewelry? Maybe craft some caster gear and hope for all res....?

She was 16, blind, deaf, slowly losing weight from not eating. Good hunger but dementia that made her drool and sniff food but almost like a mental fear to eat. She was medicated for anxiety daily. can't go on walks anymore so I'd carry her around the block to sniff. Gets around very stiff and trips a lot. But she enjoyed basking in the sun, enjoyed her food once she started eating, and she loved snuggling me. Yesterday, her dementia was really bad and she was making constant spinning circles often walking into walls and bumping her head. Petting her normally calms her but she seems indifferent to my presence. Also unresolved after giving her anxiety meds. I found her twice stuck in a book shelf or in a corner. Taking into account this bad day, and her severe decline over a year (stopped going on walks, hospitalized for pancreatitis, cant sniff around for snacks which was her only game, and 2 weeks ago she didnt eat for 3 days before rebounding), I decided yesterday to euthanize her. Now i worry what if she could have rebounded from that dementia anxiety. I was emotionally prepared to care for her in her old age for at least another year or two. But now i will never know if she could have rebounded or not. I dont want to be selfish and think of how I would have enjoyed her for another year or 2, but I worry what if she wanted another year or two to enjoy basking in the sun, sniffing the neighborhood, and sleeping at my side. I felt in my gut it was time but I was also scared. So how do people get over the feeling of guilt or regret from euthanizing a dog. I seem to be generally pessimistic, but also I tend to hold on to so much hope for my loved ones and I am at odds with my hope that she could have recovered and my perception or the reality that she was declining and nearing end of her life anyways.

I have a sorc i took through hell and have some ok gear. I just can’t seem to farm keys in act 5.

Should i raise up an echoing strike warlock to farm keys in act 5 then take them to Ubers? If so do i still need life tap or is life steal sufficient?

Or should i get a smiter? I think I’d have to hope to use a life tap wand since i don’t have those gloves yet.

Dachshund 16 years old. Blind (walks into walls), deaf (can hear a clap but doesn’t know where from), walks but stiff legs, continent when she takes her meds, drinks fine, very difficult to feed and offer her just about anything i can think a dog would want and she refuses most food, weighs 9.5 pounds so you can see her spine but not ribs, separation anxiety where she wonders the house when i leave for errands (i feel guilty and don’t leave much anymore which is growing a guilty resentment). She enjoys sunbathing for a few minutes and licking me but mostly sleeps all day.

She is already underweight and refusing to eat lately. She just got labs checked 2 weeks ago routinely and all is good. Shes slowly loosing weight as it is. She has dementia and acts hungry but refuses food. Chlonicalm helps with anxiety but still shes anxious every day.

When do people consider euthanasia? I’m worried she will continue to lose weight until she can’t walk or hurts her back. She is in no pain now, just failing to eat enough and vet has no options to help. Just giving me different recipes and I’ve honestly tried everything. I often buy rotissourie chicken, ground meat, fish, all dog snacks or foods, and still eating less than maintenance.

Any advice on is this a sign of end of life and when do i pull the plug (early before shes in pain, at the first sign of pain?)
