Maybe you could write a new post with the updated rules and link it in your signature, so one wouldn't have to search the whole thread when we sometime reach page 100 or so in this thread. That would be really great!
Thanks for all your effort!

I am editing a huge file of rule clarifications that have been in the various posts. I would like to do as you say, but I do not know how to link it. How do I do that??

I would feel cheated if I stopped doing them now with this character, Ive alredy wasted so much time doing full clears. Normal full clears are pretty dumb with very few unique mobs.

Is this true, that there are more unique mobs in NM and hell? I suppose I've sort of noticed it, but I really had no idea.
On to mad_hatter. Act 5 was really quite fun. I maxed strafe, and it's doing fine. As soon as I did I had 20some points to put in my next skill, which I decided I'd do plague javelin, which turned out to be a fantastic idea. I run up to a pack of monsters, hurl one, then switch to strafe, everything falls too easily, except lister and crew. Baal dropped a bunch or worthless rares.
When I got to NM, I had only saved a few exceptional items, so I had to spend forever shopping, but got all my slots filled.

Oooops...I just found out that you don't have the signature function here available...well, I guess in that case the best way would be to do as Sir Lister of Smeg said:

Sir Lister of Smeg said:

I don't think he can do that, but what might be possible is to rewrite the first post, with all the details on rules that have been decided on since, and ask a mod to replace the original with the new version. That way, people who want to join later can also easily see all the rules right upon joining.

I am trying to contact a moderator to see what can be done with the rules rewrite.

But, in the meantime, DeltaO has rescued Anya and received a fine Maiden Pike:
Corpse Branch Maiden Pike
Two-Hand Damage: 30 to 55; Required Dexterity: 52; Required Strength: 63;
Required Level: 20
Spear Class - Slow Attack Speed
+47 to Attack Rating; +7 to Minimum Damage; Cold Resist +5%; 6% Life stolen per hit; 7% Mana stolen per hit; +1 to Javelin and Spear Skills

OK, it is not all that great, but it does mention her COLD obsession. Unfortunately, when she switches off of her edge bow, she is 2 points short of being strong enough and 1 point short of being dextrous enough to use it. Well, three more levels and she can give it a try. {I bet the edge bow is better!}

Found a very nice rare war scythe, and thought about upping it for the new HF moron, as amns rain from the skies for me, but my merc would be a good 60 dex short of using it. Maybe later... Also forgot to mention the godly charm nihaltik dropped in norm, a +1 jav skills GC. Too bad I can't use it

I had no idea they could drop in norm, but now I know. Now I'm looking for a 4 socket armor to put 3 prubys in, to give me a chance at having enough life to finish NM. Right now, these are my stats with gear. I haven't put any points in vita for a while now because I'm constantly low on strength for equipping useful items.

When I got to NM, I had only saved a few exceptional items, so I had to spend forever shopping, but got all my slots filled.

Lucky. I'm still short an armor for Mercury, and just now got an armor for my mercenary. Hopefully that increases his survivability.

Mercury got past Andariel, but again the mercenary and valkyrie were useless. She tried to keep them alive but it basically used up her entire full rejuv stash, so she let the mercenary die and played ring-around-the-blood-pool with Andariel. Slowly but surely the poison took its course and Andariel was beaten at her own game.

May last update post seems to have disappeared (or was it a dream ?)

Will update again later and hope that it stays, but for now would like to repeat the question that was asked.

If we start NM with no exceptional gear, do we have to punch (naked), until we find something ?

Nerullan beat Duriel and finally maxed out his first obsession. Duriel dropped one item I could use and started to use, a rare ethereal sharkskin belt which, although not giving the very little damage reduction as on the crafted belt, does give more poison resistance and faster hit recovery. The battle wasn't too hard, although I must admit I did it at players 1, seeing as I still did not have any curse, I had to townportal out once to raise more skellies. The next obsession will probably be decrepify, although, seeing as I did not yet put a single point towards it, it's still open to change. The skellies do begin to die every so often, which might mean I won't continue for too long on players 8. Of course I could try to go with a different second obsession, such as dim vision, amplify damage, or confuse, but I think that although all of those are likely to work better against normal monsters, decrepify will work better if you count in bosses, especially act bosses.

I flew through the palace in a few minutes skipping almost all of it. I was hoping for some luck in the Arcane Sanctuary but alas I had none and had to clear all 4 wings to find the summoner. I had the best roll for the true tomb, Bugs Embalmed and Specters. Only 1 Greater Mummy as part of a boss pack. Did Duriel on P1 as I do almost no damage now and I didn't think my merc could handle him. I was right even pumping the merc with pots he died once.

minor update

Just a minor update for me. After my blizz sorc bit the dust last night trying to rush through A5 NM i got some spare time to play Obsession. He finally made it out of that dreadful jungle. Those shaumans pack a little punch when all you have is 9 fire resist. :wink3: Still have 1 ring slot open. If i don't find anything before hand i will cube a coral ring when i get a perfect topaz.

Assuming you don't have any set/unique items then yes. I'd suggest gambling at Gheed to find something to use.

As an example after Normal I had a helm, gloves and a weapon for my mercenary that were exceptional and that was it. So I had to gamble with Gheed for a set of javalins, and also purchase a belt and boots from Charsi before starting to quest.

Will update again later and hope that it stays, but for now would like to repeat the question that was asked.

Yes. However, your sets/uniques that reference your obsessions can still be used in NM (they do not have to be exceptional), and your jewelry is still wearable.

a little more progress

Pushed Obsession a little bit further before i decided to take a breather. The first of the prime evils has fallen. He actually dropped an item somewhat of use this time. With its 30% Deadly Strike, Steelgoad is just what my merc needed. Just before Meph, i got another lightning resist ing to drop. This one had 3% life steal on it as well :shocked:. Its not much, but it helped.

A3 wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Those flayers were kinda pesky, as they always are. It took a while to kill a pack of champion healers in Trav. Everytime i would get one almost dead the others would heal it. Was just annoying. The only real danger i was in was when my merc and i got surrounded by about 25 thorned hulks(or whatever those trees are called). I just kept feeding us both pots and eventually we prevailed.

Since this is my first melee char to make it to A4, i've never had to deal with the threat of IM before. I will proceed very cautiously through Diablo's lair just to be on the safe side.

The Chaos Sanctuary was too much for Obsession. Didn't even get the chance to max out my first obsession skill. The chance to make monsters flee skill on the merc's Steelgoad worked great on mobs. In the sanctuary, we got surrounded by doom knights and OKs. One of the OKs cast IM on us and it was too late. I was already zeal locked. My merc and i dropped like flies. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Good luck to all the remaining players.

Sorry to hear that, ilshad.
I have to admit, that IM was one of the main reasons I chose not to play a melee character...will you start another character? If you do then I wish you good luck!

No, i won't start another character in this tourny. With the loss of my blizz sorc last night due to stupidity, i have to work on replacing my main mfer. I think i will go the popular blizzballer route this time.

Diablo fell!
No_Sushi defeated him without any problems in p8. However, he didn't leave anything useful behind. Fortunately I already found a rare ghost armor fitting my obsession and a io staff with +1 to my obsession skill, what means that I already have 2 items (and the rings and amulet) for NM.
Hell Forge dropped a Thul, which is the 2nd highest that can drop in Normal, iirc. So far everything is going as planned: FW does about 2000+ damage, I'm level 35 and thus need only 14 more to max my first obsession skill.
Oh, and I found Chanceguards...unfortunately I am not allowed to wear them...no obsession mentioned

But they are bad ones anyway...26% MF, and I already have 22% MF on my gloves.

P.S.: I found out I calculated my last score incorrectly, because I was assuming that one act had 10 WP's...but it's just nine

So here's the corrected and actualized score:

Total Score: 73
31 WPs: 31
21 Quests: 42

Got sick of Tiredarms being at the bottom of the list, so figured I would update. Went through Act I no problem, and with how many things have + to strength in the early game, it wasn't easy getting every slot filled. In Act II, and I can see that I will begin to have trouble with damage. Double swing doesn't add all that much, even with bash synergy (speaking of which, I had forgotten double swing even had a synergy, so I won't be done with it til late thirties). Anyway, going along fairly well, no sets or uniques yet.

Had hoped to only put points in strength for the score, but realized that was a good way to end up dead.

Strength: 133
Dx: 20
Vit: 43
Nrg: 10

I'm going to enter a second character, welcome Ugh the barbarian. His first obsession will be blunt mastery, furthermore he intends to be stronger than everyone and has quite a fiery character.
