Well, the forums rolled back to yesterday morning, as Rushter (quietly) said in his Announcment at the top of the forum index. I wasn't entirely sure to what time he was referring by "tomorrow," but I copied the end of page 59 just in case. Unfortunately, I did not copy any of page 60, so we lost about ten posts, but I did log all the tests (including Zackardo's long list posted just a bit ago).
EDIT: Well, the Rushter announcement is now gone, too, so none of you have any idea what I'm talking about. At any rate, they switched servers yesterday, but put the old servers back up overnight/this morning, then the new servers went live a bit ago, minus any posts made in the interim. I saved some of it (lucky me).
Just so the link is handy:

Here's the balance of page 59 for posterity's sake:

Argh, forums down all day...withdrawal.
For future reference: Feel free to e-mail me test results during forum
outages. I will continue to update and repost the spreadsheet. I've put my
e-mail address on the front page of the spreadsheet, and here it is for
posterity:

That's all for tonight. Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Read-ahead optimization doesn't change what's trying to be accessed. The
drive still won't read that second set of files, something is preventing
it. Luckily I dusted off an 8x CD-ROM from my old P120 system that's not
in much better shape but still works.
I may be rough on my drives, but when I press the eject button and nothing
happens for ten seconds I get pissed. Button = gimme the disc, damn it.
As for Impalazons, I wasn't aware there were cars in this game (rimshot).
I'll have to check the synergies to find out what the pure build is and
get back to you. I rarely play Amazons.

Oh yea, something else I need info on. My buddy made me a bet that I
couldnt create an impaleazon that could get to Hell. So any ideas on
that build would help. I figure tons of passive skills just to
survive, but any help would be greatful.
The main problem you will have with an Impalazon is the appalling attack
speed. Blizzard went to all the trouble of adding synergies to nearly
every other skill but neglect one that needs it the most...all they had to
do was make Jab add 5% IAS for Impale per level. If the bet is based
around getting an Imaplazon (as opposed to a Spearazon specializing in
Impale) through Hell then you can kinda cheat and use Javelins with the
replenish mod to get past the % -dur issue and use SS to keep you alive
longer. I dunno if I can post a link but there is an entire forum
dedicated to Spearazons at theAmazonBasin. You may also find something
helpful in the Amazon forum here, but I'm not sure...Impale is a very
scary skill to use as main attack so very few people actually use it, even
with as much IAS as you can muster it's still incredibly slow. In fact,
and again I'm not sure, Impale is so slow that Passive skills may be more
of a hindrance than help as whenever Dodge kicks in it interrupts your
attack.
OK I have started reading the WoW history and there are possibilities
buried in there. Just a couple because I havn't even finished the first
chapter, I was reading in a Baalrun break so didn't have much time. There
are some languages (Hebrew being an example) that have no written vowels
and the speaker must place them into the written word when reading out
loud, I have used this here for Kalimdor.
Kalimdor - The Land of Eternal Starlight - Ko Lem Mal Dol Ral
Eonar - the Titan Patron of All Life - El Ort Nef Amn Ral
I want to go through the entire thing in MSWord with the highlighter tool
so I can easily cut and paste the thoings I want in one go but I'm not
sure how to do this in Office2001, I knew how to do it in '98 but can't
find the tool now.
Also wanted to add that Blizzard has indeed borrowed from Norse (and many
other) Mythology but that they have changed things a bit so that whilst
the World Tree in Norse myth is called Yggdrasil, in WoW it is called
Teldrasil. There are very very few people capable of creating a cohesive
language without borrowing extensively from others, even the languages
created by Tolkien are Indo-European and he borrowed heavily from the
Skandinavian families. This being the case it may be worth looking at DURO
(Dol Um Ral Ort) as a variant of THOR. Given enough distance in time and
locality this is exactly how the name of this Norse god would be
pronounced. Durotan is the land of the Orcs (and there is another one
using the method I mentioned above of removing the vowels - Dol Ral Thul
Nef).
Anyway Baal calls...

Yeah, sorry about leaving you hanging...my wife took over the computer.
After which, I promptly fell asleep...
Claw tests:
ITH/ETH
SOL/ELD
TIR/THUL
NEF/ITH
TAL/RAL
ETH/RAL
ORT/RAL
I have been thinking about moving on to something else to test since most
of the low rune tests have been done on claws. Any suggestions? I am going
to continue to test mid/high level words on claws as runes become
available...

jebus these 2 socket wands were hard to find. anyways,
El Dol in 2 Socket Bone Wand. Gemmed Bone Wand.
Dol Nef in 2 Socket Bone Wand. Gemmed Bone Wand.
Dol Eth in 2 Socket Bone Wand. Gemmed Bone Wand.
X_X off to find more Dol runes (trying to square off the wand grid)
Hel Tal in 2 Socket Bone Wand. Gemmed Bone Wand.
crusader23-09-2004 05:05 AM
916_andy: you can buy socketed wands from drognan in luth golein on Normal
difficulty. just open games until the city entrance is near drognan and
than leave and reenter town. You will find 2 socketed wands quite fast in
his shopping offer.
916_Andy23-09-2004 05:09 AM
yah i know, i eventually found 4 from him but he sells so many 1 socket
and normal and magic wands and etc. hard to find with my 81 zon (took
about 7 minutes. man he's wack)

Sokar Ratsau :
Interstingly enough, Yggdrasil is the name of the Overlord hero in
Stacraft (I'm not sure you actually meet him in any of the campaigns
though, perhaps Scavengers which I haven't completed, but it's in the
editor anyway). Yggdrasil, not Tegdrasil or whatever.

I am back on, THANK GOD!!!!!! What's the first thing that happens to me?
Forum Servers are down.
So I think and I think of what to do, so I logged in. Cheetah
was on and right before it got thick in the catacombs of hell act 1 I
believe I saw tlaloc24 log in, but I was a little busy at that time.
Anywho, tonight, I have wifey time with the boob tube, but I should be on
later to see about more TEAM USWEST COW RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's all fill up McDonalds freezers tonight. Evilspork, that necro is
gonna be SOOOOOOO fun for you, I am sure that you know. Cheetah, whenever
you have time, did you want to help me with getting to act 4 or 5 hell?
Nice to be back.

NEF+AMN = elegant blade
Well, I think LE cows are done. Most of the names on that list never get
online and the ones that do don't whisper, so I'm ending the habit of
MFing in Cowbeater **/** until people show up. Shame, too, since I always
drop three-and-higher-socketed items as well as rares in town so people
can use a bunch of runes they may have stored up. My technique is to hold
whatever runes I find for the next two-socket item then check which runes
to test to fill the chart.
I'll be glad when all the AMN-AMN squares are full, I'll be able to cube
runes to SOL again for trading/crafting. Nothing higher, though, without
eight-player cows. =[
