Alrighty I'm getting on now. If anyone's up for some cow hunting on USWest whisper me on *Scrivener and a'hunting well go. Otherwise I'll be on soloing countess which is not nearly as much fun. BTW I'm usually on about now so if anyone wants to meet up later for cows then let me know and to that effect could you please add me to the hunting list walthombe so people can get in touch? USWest LSC *Scrivener. Tests to follow later tonight.
 
Hi All. Just a quick note. My processor fan quit on me a few days ago, and I've been struggling to fix it/work around it. I have a Fal and a few other decent runes from the last night I co-oped. I will post more when I have time, and I have a few pages of stuff here to catch up on. I am checking from work, since it is the only place for me to do so currently.

Hope to see ya all online soon.

I personnally have started a new character specifically aimed at Hellforge rushing. It is a Classic character, so I can't give him any gear, and levelling is really hard without the expansion, hence I've decided I would do a Fanatic Paladin (20 sacrifice / 20 Zeal / 20 Fanatism / 1 Holy Shield), which should have finished skill-pointing at level 58. I will need more levelling before I can rush up to act three (I remember someone said it was the limit), so all extra points will go into Holy Shield.


Anyway, I'm not answering you entirely :D. I do indeed have a Sorceress (my main character in fact), and she can rush the whole game quite easily. Duriel and Baal can be though, the rest is a piece of cake (and it's an old 1.09 tank build, not even a 1.10 powerhouse).

About the Council part : actually, one is Fire/Cold immune, another has Fire immunity and spawns with added Cold immunity half of the time, the last one generally only has lightning immunity (he can also have Fire or Physical, but that's quite rare). How do I deal with this ? Well, my Ice Orb (and keep in mind it's a weak one) cuts through member #3 and also destroys the minions. If it can also kill #2, my merc then kills #1 rapidly. If both #1 and #2 are Fire/Cold immune, I separate them so my merc kills them one after the other. The whole process takes between one minute (very lucky) and three minutes (it could be worse with ugly boss mods, but then I recreate a game).
 
Morning, all.

Hugely productive night last night! Thanks to InsaneFarmer, *rrun1, Kasira, Crusader, Cheetah and Krucker13 (HUGE, guys, thanks!), Flumhum, Fragtil, yhenon9, Debikichi and Cadogan Trahem (HUGE, you two, as well!).

For my part, I did some countess and pit runs with Cadogan Trahem and tlaloc24 (as none of us could open cows). We netted some Amns, Rals, Iths, Eths, and Els, which I'll test tonight if I can.

All new tests logged and posted: wathombe's runeword spreadsheet

Updated USWest cow roster:
West
Zephyrus (*xzephyrusx)
Cheetah (*munster1)
freakinrican (*raskol19 or *raskol21)

Actually, you need only beat Hell Duriel and activate the Kurast Docks wp.
 
New Recruit

I have become rather bored with Diablo II recently, and after reading this thread would like to donate my time in cow death.

Please add me to the USEAST SCL roster as

Adrenalineni (LVL 84 Lighting Fury Zon.)
A7N8X (LVL 84 Blizzard Sorc.

I am usually on at night CST

-Thanks-

Hope to slice the beef with you fellas...
 
I sure hope to be back soon. :wave:

But for now, I can still read, lol and share. I will be working on it diligently, you can bet.

Cheetah, you still up for getting my sorc to endgame hell? If so, I will have a char that can open hell cows. Just all depends on when I can get my PC back online.

:scratch: Ya know, I could always remove the side panel of my PC and stand a Fan blowing cool air right at the processor. I bet that would word. :drool:

Anyways, that's it for now. I must get going. Lots of work to do today.

Stuff

Hi folks,
I've been monitoring this thread for quite a while now, and am ready to join in on East SCL cow runs, if anyone's around. I've built up a javazon on my account *gps6304.

On another note (and just to throw another theory into things), does anyone remember when Blizz changed the names of some runes? Shael was Shae, Jah was Jo or something, and I think there was one more. Does anyone know why they changed the names? Perhaps the name Shae didn't fit into some runeword they were working on, however Shael would? Or did they give some reason for changing the names? Anyway, just a thought and something I've always been curious about.

-gps
 
werent the name changes in the runes actiavted a long time ago, i seriously doubt that blizzard was plaining on realsing the new runewords all the way back then.

well just my 2 cents.
 
GPS, I have an answer for you, although I am not sure if it will answer the whole thing. No, it will answer only part of it. Taken from [email protected]'s runeword FAQ page is as follows:

What changes were made in v1.09?
All of these have been changed on the pages in this section.

----Three names changed, Jo -> Jah, Shae -> Shael, Po -> Io.
Tal's Poison damage changed from 19 over 1 second to 75 over 5 seconds. Note that this is more per second than a perfect emerald.
The properties of Jah (Jo) and Cham when in weapons switched. This applies retroactively, and effects a couple of Runewords with Jah in them.
Runes 1-9 can be upgraded. 3 of a kind in the cube will transmute into 1 of the next higher number. So 3 Els make 1 Eld, etc, up to 3 Orts making 1 Thul.
Bugs with charges are fixed. This was a problem on a lot of RuneWords.
Mercs can now wear RuneWord items.
"Gemmed Item" bug should be fixed, where RuneWords would sometimes fail to display their properties when dropped or traded.
All known RuneWords work off the Realms now.----

Interestingly enough, just the statement of Jah and Cham switched around supliments alot of things. Say, these 23 new runewords. If any of the ones proven to not work happen to have a jah or a cham in them, then logic would say to take said formula (for this instance I will create with imagination) Jah, tir, cham, um adn this was tested with the gemmed result, then with said example above, switch around the jah and the cham to make: Cham, Tir, Jah, Um.

Does everyone remember this? LOL:
http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2exp/screenshots/inaction/ss11b.shtml

Anyways, I will do more research while I have internet connection and post what I find here.

There is something I´m not 100% sure of...
Is it ok to use superior socc items?

I tested with some low runes and the item still said "superior", nothing about being gemmed. Maybe it IS gemmed but the prefix superior overrides it?

sorry if this has been discussed before...
