Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

[highlight]Champion Ice[/highlight]

So you're never going to Mat her
Nope, never ever ever. (Got a double ever out of me there.)

Then what are you going to do with her?
I'm glad you asked.

Spoiler

I'm going to kill hell Meph till my eyes bleed.

So all she is, is a MF character?
She's not just a MF character. She's a MF character that's going to accumulate a mountain of phat shining pixels!

Why are you writing like this?
Sigh, you had to ask didn't you?
Fine...

I've been reading to many of Liquid_Evils Mat/Pat threads recently. So blame him. :evil:

Notes
1. Blizz sorcs rock in normal.
2. Blizz sorcs in Nightmare are great.
3. Blizz sorcs in Hell are hell. :weep:
Common scene in hell:

Spoiler

Eeep! The cute furry animal is snacking on my mercs corpse and looking at me funny now! I know, let's teleport away like crazy...

You have died. Press escape to coninue. :banghead:

4. Blizz sorcs are a bad idea to start D2 over on. (I'll never do that again.)
5. I managed to sneak into the AT at 74 and leveled partialy through 83 before heading to Meph. At which point I lost all the experience and most of my bank gold getting to Meph. (Yes, I died alot.)
6. I'm not going to MP her to be a Mat cause I've got 2 nice maps for getting to AT and Meph. I'm no dummy.
7. There's probably a whole lot more that I could say, but I'd probably be talking to myself at that point. :sleep2:

Next up:
MF! MF! MF! MF! MF! :nod:
Oh...
And a toon that I can actually write a real Mat/Pat thread about.

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Blizz sorcs rock on hell - if you have even mediocre gear! You have done well to get as far as you have, especially with those resists (Eeep!!!:shocked. If I were you, I'd be running Nightmare Meph to stock up on normal and exceptional unique and set items. Once you have a few decent ones that buff your key stats - resists, faster cast rate (aim for 65 total as a base, then work towards 105, the faster teleport will save your bacon and make your runs quicker), +skills, +life and mana, then move onto Hell. There are plenty of normal and exceptional unique items that will help you greatly.

Oh, and I'm sure after you collect all your 1337 g34rz from both Mephs, you will end up Mat-ing her.

 

[Liquid_Evil]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Masterfully done hero!

(I'm not epic enough yet to post screenshots, so you get the good old text dump.)

Hit the Print Screen key in game, exit and find the screenie buried in D2 folders, crop or add ridiculous speech balloon captions (if desired), save it as a .jpeg (my preferred file type) and upload it to a free hosting service (I like imageshack.us) by hitting “browse†and selecting it from the appropriate folders. Congratulations, you are now epic enough. Your next write-up better be saturated with them.

There's probably a whole lot more that I could say, but I'd probably be talking to myself at that point.

Nothing wrong with that.
Agreed. Perfectly normal behavior.

Congrats again and best of luck with her MF career.

 

[Ziggyzug]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Thanks both!

@Jason: Oh, I know pure blizz sorcs can rock it in hell. I just had epic style bad luck when it came to spawning cold immunes. (The Flayer Jungle still makes me twitch when I think about running it with her.)

I figure I'll leave her alone in hell atm, the AT entrance I have is 1 port away from the pad with no monsters in sight, and the sparky chest is 6 teleports away from the entrance to the tunnel with half the boss/champion packs spawning between it and the door. :badteeth: And the way to durance of hate level 3 is 9 teleports away with only 1 monster pack in between.

@Liquid: Aye the taking of the shot wasn't the issue, it was a vista permisions issue with the RRM folder not letting D2 save the pictures. :banghead:

So next time there'll be plenty of epic pictures of El runes littering the thread.

Edit: I'll do an epic update if I ever hit level 99 killing Meph. Can you hit level 99 killing Meph?

 

[omgwtfbbqpwned]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

GG on the... champion.

I'd at least get her to Hell Forge someday, even if you don't plan on matting her. Yes you can hit 99 by killing Mephisto, although it probably isn't good for your sanity.

 

[Jason Maher]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Mate, I'll tell you what, if you can get to levle 99 running Meph wearing just your current gear, I will personally nominate you for president of the One World Government I'm currently in the process of setting up.

@Liquid: Aye the taking of the shot wasn't the issue, it was a vista permisions issue with the RRM folder not letting D2 save the pictures. :banghead:

I had the same problem for a while. They're saved, just not in the folder you'd expect them to be in.

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Gratz on the champion. I myself recently(2 moth ago) made a blizzsorc. She is still a champion but i am planning to mat her. she is currently stuck at Anya quest. Poked my head into Frozen river once and barely pulled it back . Anyway good luck with your MF adventures. :wave:

 

[Thomh]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Congratulations I guess you had tons of fun in the Claw Viper Temple, muhahahaha. I think you should get to the Frozen River ASAP and run that for a while, it will probably take away your sanity

Good luck with killing Meph 1,3 billion times.

 

[DZJB]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Gratz on the Blizzsorc! Believe me, even though Blizzsorcs can't deal with a lot of monsters by themselves, they can breeze through the entire game. Just wait until you get some awesome gear, then you can teleport yourself next to Baal in a few minutes! That is, if you're interested in doing that in the future. At least, I'd suggest moving on to Pindle as well in the future, if you're burned out on Meph.

Mine is pushing her way to clvl 94 right now, and I've found a lot of good stuff along the way Hope you do too!

gratz on getting your blizzsorc as far as champion

 

[purplelocust]

Re: Champion Ice (The I'm never ever gonna Mat her thread.)

Even if you don't take her to Matriarch, it's probably worth going to A5 and doing the Anya quest to free up your gear options somewhat. Of course, Frozenstein is a pain for a Blizzard sorc so you may want to tiptoe by/teleport past and talk to Anya and hope that Frozenstein doesn't notice you.
