Rebirth - Kitteh's Hardcore Journey

I don't follow this thread, but I did just read through the last page and watch your deeds video. Unfortunate, my friend. It was pretty funny to hear your reaction - much calmer than I probably would have been!

Best of luck in the future; try not to teleport so much ;)

Haha, well, can't do much about it once you're dead right? Would you believe that I normally don't teleport blindly like that, but on that one occasion I thought 'it's only around the corner' :p

Ouch. R.I.P. Now might be the time to start a HC char you might enjoy more.

Thanks :rolleyes: Lyrella was actually very fun, but playing new characters is my priority anyway :D
 
Sorry Kitteh, tough break. I see you had no CtA and less than 900 life. Probably not the best set up for such high level running. What was the FHR and FCR like? You had a Shael in the SotV but did you reach a good breakpoint? Also looked like you paused mid-teleport? I didn't see any nasty auras on those gloams and still they ripped Lyella apart. GL on the next char bro.
 
Well, she handled Baal runs themselves with no problem, rarely any survival issues, with the obvious exception :rolleyes: She was only running P1/P3/P5 anyway :) Off the top of my head it was the 60fhr breakpoint that she reached, with max and fast block. Resists were topped up. She hadn't actually come across souls very much and normally with a pre warning, not an insta-port. I suspect that it was just the additive effect of so many souls all hitting at once. To be honest, I had never teleported that way previously, so I don't know why I suddenly decided that blind teleporting was a good idea :p I didn't notice, but I've never used the alt thing for teleporting, maybe I should consider it :oops:

I am only getting D2 time at the weekends just now because I'm in the lab 8-8 each day, but I'm hoping to Guardian Caessa tomorrow and possibly start my new character. The said character will be a polearm leaper - I'm really looking forward to that one. I'm hoping to make a rare only Guardian soon, but I haven't really got a suitable weapon yet, except for a vaguely decent highland blade...
 
Caessa got a nice SURprise this morning :D

I've been really stressed recently because of experiments, publishing my first paper, presentation, literature review etc etc. I ended up having a meltdown during The Ancients, after having spent all of act V moaning about my mercenary. The highlight is me getting into a shouting match with Madawc o_O I'm actually laughing as I watch it back - please excuse the pretty regular curse words... Enjoy!

Got thru them so that's the main thing. Slow missiles for the thrower may have been a good choice. It also slows down the charged bolts erupting off the Ancient as well. Inner sight perhaps but I doubt it would have lowered defense enuff to be effective. Perhaps MA on Madawc at the end coz he seemed to have high Phy Immunity. Other than that good job.

I'm telling you, it's like the game knows when we're about to ignore our own safety measures. It KNOWS.

I have to catch up to this thread. And will keep my prayers for Caessa. :)
 
Yes, if everyone is present the next sessions, hopefully we will have 6 Guardians in about 3 weeks time.
 
So a few updates!

Reuben, my fury druid, is battling his way though the end of NM. His Oath BB is so damned nice! He will be my Travincal runner for the RFO.

Flynn died. I could've BEEFed him up a bit, but I'm no COWard. Round one of the RFO is probably not going to happen now, but I will compete in rounds 2 and 3, assuming no further 'incidents' of course :p Flynn's lost items include; Mara's 22@res, shako (found one cow run previous), Wizardspike 'Ist', 29 and 30 Nagel's and my best rares gloves/boots. Oops!

In addition, Guardian #5 has arrived in the form a lightning trapsin. However, this character is from an external group that I play in and so is not SPF related, but still part of my HC journey, so I will include her in the thread for my own purposes. Below are some screenshots of her gameplay, plus an amusing image of our next round of characters, the new theme being 'druids only' - I am a fire caster.
