For the record, I normally play dailies before sleep when they change at 1 am for me, when my brain still thinks I'm in the previous day. I just refer to them by the "official" date.
Yeah, today's run was a little rough, I can't go for my usual very minimal boss takedowns against Stheno, and I only made the run more difficult than it had to be by going Mystera/mage plate, even though I knew dragon shield was the safer option by far. TIM was just about the worst boss I could get on that setup, thank god for HALPMEH. Still burnt through all my health pots, all the mana pots from the ground and a schadenfreude taking him down, and that's after a ding, used my natural dp to finish him. My biggest slip up was being punished by Mystera early on, thankfully I was powerful enough to just brute force my way through the resists. Once it came to Stheno, I swept up the popcorn, got up to lvl 8, bought a mana pendant + elven boots, took refreshment, and just went for a hard mana spike, had to make some hasty last minute conversions to get him down, then got him with a dp I set up from CYDSTEPP earlier. I think that was the poorest I've been resource wise at the end of a succesful daily.
Should have picked up the bm ring in the shop as well, I wasn't really using my translocation scroll, then picking up flames as well would have probably made Stheno a lot easier.
