Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Congrats Jcakes!

I decided to spend my evening working on Spirit-Revenge. Not much to report other than Act5 is going pretty smooth. Found a nice paladin shield with good resist I may have to use my personalization on if all else fails to find in the act, but I'm holding out hope. Cleared my way through Nith after I saved Anya so still have a large majority of Act 5 to go, but can't wait until I get to NM as my damage will skyrocket. (242-250 right now with my 1point concentration scepter)

Nith dropped me something I haven't seen in a while, Cresent Moon amulet. I was hoping for the +stat/res/everything one but alas it was not to drop.

Finally got a few more ethereal shields, as holy shield is really holding me up against the frenzytaurs that my mercenary can't tank to well, really need to find a 0socket or 4socket paladin one so I can make a spirit if I have the runes. Also found a couple ghost armors(1 white, 1 magical) so I at least have another slot complete, now if I only could actually gamble some named gloves, boots, or a belt.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

I thought a lot about a singer barb for this tourney, but it was after I started. I think It is a near perfect fit for this tourney, It's rather easy to hit 63% FCR with your 2 swords alone, which is plenty, and insight makes it awesome! I doubt I will get around to doing it though!

Congrats on the Guardian, I think I forgot to say that before now. I could certainly beat your score if I don't die that is! I have played very little D2 in the past week, but what I have has gone towards my Druid. And did you mean you imbued a spirit mask in NM and Hell? because you can't find one in act 1 normal.

@jimmyofjudecca: no reason you can't join, I don't think its that close to being over, and there are a lot of people that still play tournaments from 5 years ago anyways!

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Spirit-Revenge has smashed Baal's face and moved onto Nightmare.

No NDE's as I've been able to keep a healthy supply of ethereal Shields in my possession so when one bites it, another goes on. Finally something dropped worthy of a second glance, a Superior Targe with Resist All 25%. Not bad, little low on the blocking, but its the best I've found considering the second best has been 9%. So with Baal dropping nadda(Well unique large axe) and Cow's yielding equal results, I gambled on boots until I found a personalization one(36%fire resist, 24% Lightning Resist, minor other mods) and socketed my shield that will become a SPIRIT once I find myself either oh..6 more orts or an Amn rune. Also have a couple socketable swords for a SPIRIT one as well, but no Amns to attempt to get 4 sockets, hopefully I'll find a 4os one by then regardless. And found a normal Partizan, that was also an imbue possibility for a nice Meditation Aura to go with my Prayer Mercenary for some nice Life Regen so hopefully I find a 4os one before than otherwise I'll know what my socket quest will be used on.

For Nightmare I went with Offensive Aura's and placed half my points in blessed aim other in Concentrate. My damage is effectively nearly tripled now at just over 600 compared to 250 before. Once I find myself that Amn rune I imagine it will increase further. Although sometimes I feel the points placed in Holy Bolt were wasted, I have no doubt I may end up utilizing that later on during some sticky situations where I can't position myself properly.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Spirit_Zon has defeated Diablo on P7 and did not lose the merc at all. One trip back to town was needed for arrows (of all things). She has recently built a "Spirit" sword out of a Flamberge. Not all that great, but when coupled with an amulet with +2 to Passive and Magic skills, that gives her a 24 level Valkyrie.

SZ's typical battle goes like this: Place the decoy to provide a target for the rabble; position the valk to take on the boss; allow the Act 3 merc to cool of the enemy with cold spells; let Spirit_Zon fire freezing arrows to help the merc get out of trouble or help the VAlk by slowing down the enemy. SZ does not get near trouble and simply practices patience.

Hell (if she gets there) will have trouble with resistance, but a coronet was gambled that has +28 resist all. If nothing better comes up, she may personalize and socket that item in Act 5. Another possibility would be a Smoke ghost armor. That does not take personalization and gives +50 resist all.

The only better item would be a bow with really good damage. Her "edge" reflex bow is not very good even with +20 points in freezing arrow. She hopes to either find Kuko Shakaku or find a really powerful 4 socketed bow to build Harmony. Of course Harmony would require KO and she has not found that yet.

Here is her score heading into act 5NM.

Life: 893 +893
Level: 67 -335
STR: 82 -82
WPs: 70 +140

Total: +616

Well, that puts her in third place behind the Guardian and the dead barbarian. There is no doubt which one of those she wants to follow in the footsteps of.:yes:

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Toolperson! Good Luck with your Paladin.

Spirit_Zon has rescued Anya and made a Smoke Ghost armor. That should solve the resistance problems for Hell difficulty. Of course, we have to get to Hell before it is a real problem. Unless she finds something else, this is what she will be personalizing:

Glyph Clutches Leather Gloves Defense: 3
+15 to Attack Rating
Fire Resist +24% Lightning Resist +29%
68% Extra Gold from Monsters
+1 to Light Radius
+1 to Passive and Magic Skills (Amazon Only)

The main advantages are that Spirit_Zon has no gloves at all (except a pair of ethereal demonhide gloves with no magic on them) and the P&M skill point will help the Valk. The resistances are nice, but the smoke armor makes resistances a null issue. Another possibility would be to put three perfect Amethysts in a helm for the strength. But she does not need strength now and that would only reduce her score. Maybe three perfect rubies to get more life!!! That would be useful and would add to her score. Hmmmm.....

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Well, my suckage continued, was running countess to get my Fifth rune above Ort(5th rune, 2xort one run, Amn+Io another) and did have my Spirit Shield finally.

A double boss back of Ghost did me in, I didn't even have time to react really as I only had 2 small rejuvs on my belt and was hit locked, I could of out ran them, but alas but play on my part again.

Kind horrible considering I thought I was doing great. Even crafted this amazing item:

Skull Emblem

Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 49
Fingerprint: 0x2fe07cc7

Fire Resist +32%

Cold Resist +10%

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Spirit_Zon has killed Nihlathak and is ready for the assent of the mountain.

Her belt, boots and helm all have the word WRAITH in them. Her armor is Smoke Ghost armor. Her bow is her act 1 personalized Reflex Bow with EDGE runeword. Her melee weapon is a SPIRIT flamberge. She is still wearing a pair of Demonhide ethereal gloves with no magic mods on them. She is still wondering what to personalize this time. She has a good pair of gloves that could be personalized. She has a three socket Mask that could be personalized. She would like to find a KO rune so she could make MELODY and personalize that. I guess I am hoping for KO!

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Spirit_Zon was not particularly concerned about the Ancients. Her Valkyrie never dies and has a lot of killing power at skill level 24. Her merc knows how to stay out of the way. Things were going just fine. Nobody was taking any significant damage, the potions wee barely being touched. Then Korlic chased Spirit_Zon down to the lower left side of the plateau. Spirit_Zon did not even realize her mistake as Korlic pinned her to the edge of the plateau. But it should not be a problem. Korlic was almost dead, Spirit_Zon had a lot of killing power with her bow, and there were plenty of full rejuvs left. Then she was dead!!! I guess Korlic was cursed, because, when he died it was all over for Spirit_Zon.

Oh well, I guess I will try a Sorceress next. That ought to be a challenge with only 10 in strength to start. The question will be what tree to start in. Not fire. Maybe lightning.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Gah! That's too bad about Spirit_Zon. It sounded like things were going real well. Good luck with the sorceress. If it wasn't for one stupid blind teleport, I'd probably still be playing her.

AngelicTool the (eventual) hammerdin recently arrived in Sanctuary to tackle the forces of Hell. I decided to go with offensive auras first, so he had no real skills to speak of. One point in Might doesn't add very much damage to fists. During my travels, I did manage to find a couple of ethereal short swords, but those were mostly saved for shamans and bosses. Let's just say it's a good thing that it doesn't cost anything to repair your fists. Once I killed Blood Raven and got my rogue mercenary, things got a lot easier. At this point, my killing power was still reasonable. Andariel went down without any trouble. I found an ethereal 2H axe which I decided to imbue, but it did not get the coveted auto-repair mod.

I switched to a desert warrior with Prayer in Act 2. Things got even easier once I started pumping Concentration, though my killing power was taking a nosedive. Act 2 was uneventful, though I found no useful equipment to wear (other than some crappy jewelry). The big slug was a pain, but he eventually fell before the might of my merc's pokey stick.

I did some better planning in Act 3 this time, trying to minimize the levels I gained. I mostly ran through at P3. While I was able to damage some monsters, I don't think I ever actually killed one. I mostly hid behind my merc, as his damage was increasing nicely. I found a shimmering grand charm (+10 resist all) in Kurast, which brought all of my resistances up to...+10. Mephisto was a cakewalk, though his drop was worthless. I finished Act 3 at about level 26.8.

I did a full clear of Act 4 at P8. I can't remember the last time I did that. I found a plain ethereal pike for my merc, raising his upper damage to over 500. It was slow but steady, except for Izual. He took almost ten minutes to take down. Everything else went well, except for the hellforge. I got an El. A stinking El. The battle with Diablo was extremely difficult. His LBoD melted both me and my merc. I lost track of merc resurrections at about 10. But in the end, we prevailed. He was kind enough to drop some properly worded rare gauntlets, though I need some help from charms to be able to wear them.

He's ready to take on Act 5 now. He's mostly still naked, except for a (useless) ethereal sword. I've got a crystal sword that's probably going to get Larzuk'ed and made into Spirit, but since I still can't use Blessed Hammer I'll probably wait to see if I can find one with 4 sockets. I'm going to attempt to do Act 5 on P8 with full clears. My merc's damage is pretty good and I only have to feed him the occasional potion. Here's my score:

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Ghost_Gal has found her Cube and has stored her socket fillers in her new ATMA stash. She has taken up the Chain Lightning skill and is doing rather well with it. Andariel was easy with just a bit of help from the one point she put in static field. The most difficult task in Act 1 was finding 5 RALs from the countess. After over 30 runs, I finally gave up (found only two!).

Then, after starting this post, I went back and took her through the end of Act 2. Duriel on P8 was no problem. She did not finish off all the tombs because she is saving experience room for act 4. I know she does not need much strength, but I want to make sure she can wear a ghost smoke armor or something similar. It might also be nice if she could wield one of the elite staves if she can find one. As for the equipment she currently has, here is the best item:

Stone Clasp
Sash Defense: 3 Durability: 5 of 7
Fire Resist +13% Lightning Resist +9% Poison Resist +27%
68% Extra Gold from Monsters 24% Faster Hit Recovery
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired)

OK, I know it is not much, but Charsi did her best with the ethereal sash that I gave her. I was hoping for a repair mod so that I could upgrade it to exceptional later, but since it is not repairable, I will let it go when it wears out. Since things wear out so slowly for her, that should still be a while from now (act 5?).

And then I decided to edit again to mention even more progress:

Ghost_Gal has defeated Mephisto and moved on to the Pandamonium Fortress. She has a real fine lightning strike and chain lightning at her disposal, so Diablo should be a reasonable target. She is hoping to make an ethereal leaf staff, but so far there has not been a socketed ethereal staff available. The other item she covets is a Ghost Smoke armor, but that will have to wait for the LUM rune.
Here's my score:

Life: 377 +377
Level: 31 -155
STR: 26 -26
WPs: 28 +56

Total: +252

This is awfully low, but due to the Sorceress' low life, it will stay low. I am given some hope when I see Pwangsta's Angelique, but I am not sure that I will match that even if I live that long. The 252 score is after putting every possible attribute point into Vitality. Alcor's points went into strength of course, and then in Act 4 the idea will be to put up to 20 points into strength.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Ghost_Gal has defeated Diablo on P8. Of course, with static field and a hot lightning spell, that is no big deal in normal difficulty. She did a little gambling after finishing off Diablo and here is the prize she received:

Spirit Tread Heavy Boots Defense: 6
+3 to Dexterity Cold Resist +32% Poison Resist +34%
20% Faster Run/Walk 14% Chance to cast Level 5 Charged Bolt when struck

I doubt that she will every find anything better. Her main problem now is that her Stealth Ethereal Hard Leather is getting pretty beat up (3 durability left out of 15). She will be looking for a good 2 socketed Ghost armor, but that will probably not come until well into NM. But she can always hope.

Here's my score:

The 241 score is after putting almost all attribute points into Vitality. Alcor's points went into strength of course, and then in Act 4 she leveled three times for 15 more points in strength.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

AngelicTool has finished Normal with relative ease (or, should I say, his merc finished Normal). My socket quest went to a crystal sword, and I personalized a rather poor Targe (Resist All 7) in the hopes of putting some diamonds into it. He still needs boots and a helm, but all other spots are filled. He's at the Stony Field in Nightmare. The good news is that a new diffficulty means that I could max out Blessed Hammer as soon as I hit the Rogue Camp. The bad news is that barring any +skills, his damage for this difficulty is already maxed out. I'll have to wait to Hell for synergies. Here are his vitals:

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Well, after my randomly challenged Assassin got killed, I finally had some time for this character

GhostInTheShell made it to Act 3 and has reached an astonishing level 29...yes, I ran the Countess until she dropped the 5th Ral

The game hasn't been difficult so far. I started off as a Holy Fire Paladin (already maxed), and I only recently started to put points into Holy Shock. A Ranger will be the route I'll take. But until I get a bow I can use (personalise quest...), I will be using ...

*drumroll*

WIRT'S LEG! :jig:

I even got one with 3 sockets, so maybe this is even endgame stuff - 3 Shaels would grant me a 10 frame attack and 6/10 Zeal, 2 Shaels a 11 frame attack and 6/11 Zeal, so maybe 2 will suffice, leaving the 3rd spot open for an Eth or something like that. I'll see.

I even got my first usable non-ethereal item very early, "Spirit Fringe", a rare sash. And then some other - take a look here (also, some nice self-repair eth weapons, but since Wirt's leg is faster, I did use that)

Code:

Spirit Fringe Sash Defense: 3 Durability: 12 of 12 Required Level: 6 Fingerprint: 0x84a69c09 Item Level: 10 Version: Expansion 1.10+ 10% Chance to cast level 3 Charged Bolt when struck +17% Faster Hit Recovery +20% Enhanced Defense +6 Maximum Stamina Poison Resist +8% Attacker Takes Damage of 1 Armageddon Crest Skull Cap Defense: 21 Durability: 10 of 10 Required Level: 9 Required Strength: 5 Fingerprint: 0xb16499db Item Level: 17 Version: Expansion 1.10+ +15 to Attack Rating +22% Enhanced Defense Fire Resist +8% Poison Resist +13% +1 to Light Radius Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds Ethereal Boots of Self-Repair Boots Defense: 4 Durability: 7 of 7 Required Level: 1 Fingerprint: 0xb242b49f Item Level: 11 Version: Expansion 1.10+ Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds Ethereal Wraith Needle Falchion One Hand Damage: 15 - 31 Durability: 32 of 32 Required Level: 10 Required Strength: 33 Fingerprint: 0x93ed57bf Item Level: 21 Version: Expansion 1.10+ 5% Chance to cast level 3 Ice Bolt on attack 74% Enhanced Damage +2 to Maximum Damage +31 to Attack Rating Fire Resist +5% Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds Blood Scourge Bardiche Two Hand Damage: 1 - 47 Durability: 76 of 76 Required Level: 2 Required Strength: 30 Fingerprint: 0x590c7ed8 Item Level: 5 Version: Expansion 1.10+ 16% Enhanced Damage +1 to Maximum Damage +14 to Attack Rating Adds 1 - 2 Fire Damage +1 to Mana after each Kill Repairs 1 Durability in 33 Seconds Ethereal

I only have 28 STR atm, but could get up to 41 with charms and jewelry - but it's not necessary right now and I rather take the extra MF (ammy and ring with 6% each and one ring with 17%).

My Blessed Aim merc is helping a lot and killing most stuff, because he has even more MF and thus I let him do the killing. Oh, and I still have 80 stat points left - I don't know yet what my end-game weapon will be and health was quite enough till now...this might change with the Sewers and Stygian dolls though

Duriel was actually pretty easy, even at /p8 - I was surprised at that, but maybe it was because of my high level and Holy Fire at level 20. I'm looking forward to NM, when I will finally be able to put points into synergies - I think I'll take defensive Auras in NM and the combat tree only in Hell - NM should be doable without it.

Oh, the biggest obstacle by far to overcome was the ATMA rule...I had to sell around 50 chippies and a dozen runes or so and only kept the odd jewel, Topazes and Diamonds (for rolling Savage Poleaxes) and some ethereal stuff and most of the runes, then in Act II, I ran straight to Radament and killed him.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Ghost_Gal has defeated Baal on P8 (in about 15 seconds) and, after cow dinner, has moved on to NM. Her resistances are 75 except for poison which is only 48. That was made possible by a nice charm with +6 STR and +19 fire resistance. She is carrying around quite a few charms to get that sort of resistance, so she is going to make a shimmering amulet as soon as she gets a perfect topaz.

Here are three items that she is particularly proud of:

Garnet Bone Helm Defense: 52 Durability: 19 of 21 +10 to Strength
Fire Resist +29% Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (1: 1 used)

She found an ethereal bone helm with +29 resistance and had Larzuk socket it. She was hoping for two sockets and a lore helm, but this is what she got. It is still a big help because of the STR that came from the perfect Amethyst along with the +29 fire resist.

Leaf Ghost_Gal's Superior Short Staff 'TirRal'
+2 to Attack Rating +1 to Maximum Damage Cold Resist +33%
Adds 5-30 fire damage
+2 to Telekinesis (Sorceress Only) +3 to Fire Bolt (Sorceress Only)
+3 to Warmth (Sorceress Only) +1 to Lightning (Sorceress Only)
+3 to Inferno (Sorceress Only) +3 to Warmth (Sorceress Only)
+3 to Fire Skills +2 to Mana After Each Kill
+96 to Defense (Based on Character Level) 150% Damage to Undead

I realize that this is just a LEAF staff, but it gives her +9 to warmth even though she will not be putting points into the fire skills until HELL difficulty. By the way, that decision was tough. She could move on to fire skills now and have the other fire skills enhanced by this staff. HOwever, Cold spells are so useful in freezing the opposition that she simply could not resist going to the cold tree now.

Stone Heart Amulet
+1 to Strength Magic Damage Reduced by 1
Lightning Resist +36% Cold Resist +17%
11% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

This amulet has 53 resistance points. That is equivalent to +13 resist all. When she makes her shimmering amulet, it will be a little better than this.

Another good item is her Stealth Ghost armor. She was wondering about finding a two socketed Ghost armor, but she actually found two of them. One is being saved in her stash for use in making a SMOKE armor later on when LUM is found.

OK, now it is time to go to the Rogue Camp and put those five saved up skill points into cold skills to get a point in BLIZZARD. Her tactic will be to cool the opposition off with that spell and then rip them apart with Chain Lightning.

Her is her score. It is good enough for 8th among the living and 12th overall.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Ghost_Gal has moved into the Dry Hills of NM act 2. She is using chain lightning almost exclusively, but she is developing Frozen Orb. Frozen Orb has only 7 skill points so far, but there is a lot of NM left. If she lasts until Hell, she should max out frozen Orb and have a few points in Ice Bolt and Cold Mastery to synergize it.

She is hoping to find the runes for Memory (still needs LUM). Then she will have to find a four socketed staff. She has until act 5 to do this because she will not be lucky enough to find that staff with a good name or ethereal. The only likely way to wear it is to use her personalization quest.

For the mercenary, she is trying to acquire a good four socketed polearm to make Insight. She has the runes for that, but is having a hard time coming up with a good polearm.

Here is her score. It is good enough for 6th among the living, 3rd best sorceress and 10th overall.

Re: Spirit Tournament Plan

Wraith_Flea has downed NM andy

Nothing too serious happened in act 1, besides most of my armor pieces breaking
I lost my helm, armor, and shield at various points, and I didn't have very good replacements for them. Used my imbue on a spirit mask, turned out okay, but not very exciting really. But it does have +3 to solar creeper, which will come in handy for disposing of those annoying corpses in act 2 at least

Nothing was very challenging, my wolves and merc owned everything quite easily. I found a 4os partisan late in the act and made an insight for him.

Swapped out for a might merc, which helps quite a bit. Went ahead and cleared out radaments area as well. Rabies is a pretty sad skill for the most part, the damage number looks pretty impressive, but it just doesn't do very much. It does work pretty well in the fact that I have something to do while the wolves are keeping everything busy though. Its still not even close to maxed though, so we will see how it ends up later on.
