After having a lot of fun with the Zod sept, I felt like starting another long-term side project. Or as @maxicek aptly put it: (Btw this does not replace the imperative MP sept, in case you thought you got off the hook.) *** Quite simple really: Trying to get Guardian with each class while...

After the Avengers, the next MP project was the Shapeshifting group. With that I welcomed the opportunity to make a Bear Amazon, the last class that I hadn't played as a shapeshifter previously. Here's some gameplay from @maxicek's perspective throughout A5, including some of those awesome...

With a bittersweet feeling, here comes the final character in my Zod sept. Pat Baal run: P8 Hell Baal & Lister took a while. :D Final gear & build: eth Ribcracker 'Zod' (259 ED) Kira's Guardian (IAS/AR jewel) Mara's Enigma LoH Gore Rider Raven Froat Rare ring dual leech/AR/res/life War...

Character #6 in my Zod sept. After Mat'ing the Sorc a few days ago, the Paladin quickly followed suit as the Avengers MP group (with @maxicek, @D2DC, @skiffcz, @PhineasB) quested through all of Hell this last weekend. maxicek kindly recorded the Pat Baal run.... ... as well as additional...

This is the 5th character in my Zod sept, aptly and equally uncreatively named. :) A bit of a special case this one! Recorded a short vid showing her Mat Baal run and gear that she finished A5 Hell with: Not the best showcase of her defense-oriented build idea (see below), but didn't bother...

Hi all, it's time to see the results of the "Finding the Balance" MF/RF tourney. Here we had runes and S&Us both count towards a single overall score. This is a new format, and it was interesting to see how this played out. Running thread can be found here. Let's get to the results straight...

Very brief report on Zod Sept character number 4. His Zod item was an ethereal Earth Shifter, a drop that prompted me to start the sept. The unfortunate thing was that I recently played a Druid with Earth Shifter, so in order to differentiate the two (and to make the most of the eth Shifter)...

Some time has passed since MFO, and with RFL not even quite on the horizon yet, it’s time for another SPF tournament to fill the void! Like several other recent tournament formats (see e.g. here, here or here), we will combine magic finding (MF) and rune finding (RF) for this competition. You...

Character #3 in the Zod Sept, as the yet again creative name might suggest. ;) Never played a Wolfbarb but wanted to for a very long time, so finally got around to it. Some time ago I found a nice 6/6/6 Wolhowl and when starting this sept I knew the Barb would be using that. Pat screenshot at...

The creative naming continues with Matriarch #2 in the Zod sept. Gear: BotD eth GPA GFace (7 FHR, 33 ED jewel) HLW LoH Fortitude Blood craft belt with FHR, LL, CR, PR, life Ravenfroat Dual leech/AR/FR/LR ring Gore Rider Switch: Beast + Spirit Inventory: Sharp + Fine charms with life, couple of...

This Zon is the first completed Mat from the Zod sept I just started last week. I figured I'd go ahead and start with one of the weaker builds I've been planning. Never played a Passivezon before, so this was something new for me entirely. Moreover I never used Wrath, an interesting runeword...

Sept now completed and below post updated to final status. Thanks for checking it out, I had a blast with this project. *** Preface: Zod history: Original item candidates: *** Amazon: Mat Thread Zod item: Death Cleaver Build: Passivezon with Wrath switch & Pride Merc Assassin: Mat...

After the Earth Shifter (et al.) Druid being the sixth character in this sept a couple of days ago, I just went ahead and concluded the sept with this Necromancer. The Necro was already at A5 Normal, so had a pretty easy route ahead of him that would be finished quickly. Here's the Pat Baal run...

Hi SPF! Been somewhat inactive since RFL, but I've been playing a bit the last couple of days, in particular this guy. He is the sixth completed character in this sept – a consortium of weird builds with some funky gear found exclusively by my three untwinked 99ers (Sorc, Necro and Paladin)...

Reposting here as I plan to quest the remaining couple of characters of this project some time soon. EDIT: Sept now completed. Tidied up the below descriptions a bit and linked to the remaining chars. *** So I started this thread recently about building a Zealot/FoH Paladin that only uses...

Reposted from my old thread on the SPF: _____ Over the last couple of weeks I played around with damage optimization stuff for Sorc builds and targets from time to time. Basically wanting to check which damage range to aim for to hit sensible breakpoints against various monster types. I...

Moving over this great guide by Albatross ______________ It's well established that Pit Zerkers are the kings of magic find. The SPF Hall of Records and recent Magic Find Olympics will attest to their efficiency, yet some still prefer an Ancient Tunnels (AT) sorceress. That might be because...
