Random Tournament 2022!

Hey everyone, finally getting a chance to get back into some D2R after being away for a while. I've played in a number of tournaments over the years, but I've never tried my hand at a totally random one so this should be an adventure! Looking to best my performance from the March of the Doomed tourney, where I deeded in NM Act 3.

If someone would be so kind as to roll me up a char I'd appreciate it! We're putting our fate in the hands of the RNG, so random char, random weapons, random the whole enchilada.

Thank you, coju! I can work with this. A Hydra / Orb / [Chain] Lightning build should be fun. Also relieved to see that I rolled Teleport. That's a big QOL thing.

One question @Vang : Am I allowed to equip staves or orbs that have pluses to the Fire/Light/Cold Mastery? Or is that forbidden? I didn't roll any of the masteries.

Yes, passive provided by staff mods are allowed.
@gregth Doesn't apply to D2R, just D2L so people know MP is not allowed in this tournament. I mean if we had a group that wanted too, I wouldn't really oppose it. Just general rules for tournaments I suppose that stick around.

Poison and Bone it is for you!
Thanks ! Looks like I cant complain with these skills (except for the curses ^^)
I even get broad sword for spirit !
 
Thanks @Vang! Pretty solid combat spell rolls for Blizzard and Meteor if I want to go for both/one or the other. Bummer about no Static or Teleport, but maybe I can roll a War Staff with charges of Teleport to at least have it as an option.

Does anyone know if Thunderstorm got boosted at all with patch 2.4? The 1 second delay timer always seemed to be a real hindrance before and I'll likely skip it if that is still in place.

After reviewing the equipment choices I may consider trying an Enchant/Blizzard combo out. I can craft Blood gloves/belts/boots with that roll, so I've got some good CB/OW potential if paired with a Strength sword/scepter. Thinking of maybe taking the new Act 5 merc out for a spin as well, just for something new and different.

I'll be playing single-pass, attempting full clears. Probably think on things for today and then try to get started tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Thanks! That's definately a challenge! I guess for belt it's Light and Heavy Belt, right? Can you please also roll me a Scepter? At least one one-handed weapon would be great. :)
 
If I got this correctly, I am allowed another weapon.
I would like a roll at Javelins please.
 
I would suggest for one of you that a throwing weapon or javelin might be in order ;)

Ooooh... now I got it :D :D
Still I came to the conclusion on my own :p

EDIT: I saw @Norcim commented on the use of Teleport charges. Is that allowed ? How about other skills provided we get them from allowed equipment ?

@Oblivious I can see in the rules :
"Charged, Chance to cast, and oskills: Go nuts!"

My own question is : currently i can use a wand, can I ask for a wand again, to be allowed aother type ? (hoping to get bone wands ^^)

@Irenicus: Yeah, for belts it should be light belt and heavy belt.
Your random scepter is: Grand Scepter

@Oblivious: Your random javelin is: Glaive

I definitely won't have much time to participate, what with the 3 university courses I'm taking right now, but I think I can still manage to squeeze in some play time here and there for this.

I'll take a full random character.
