Convention of Heroes

Ouch! Didn't think of Achmel... That's.... damn. I only thought of Ventar the unholy, who is PI, dunno how long it would take to bring him down...
 
the vipers are PI IIRC. im sleepy... so i could be wrong. a
 
Hello

I made a patriarch out of that werebear idea of mine. Doing 1k-11k listed damage @ 6fpa with ~45% DS, +410% ed vs demons and merc with decrepify he was a real killer. He killed around as fast as my teslafroster, which is VERY impressive considering he's only low 80s. With shock wave he could handle all of Baal’s minions with ease. Sounds like I found my self a new baalrunner ay? But (there is always this word; but) there was way too many situations he couldn't handle. The way down was a pain to get down there, especially the witches that spit magic bolts were a problem. And also, the 12 levels between 83 and 95 is a pain to collect. So TheLastHero is back in action (it's a shame that I can’t equip them both at the same time).
 
Oh yea, ventor is PI, but his minions arent (just FI right?) so you just pick them off and then let merc and bone spear take him down, that'll be the best plan.
 
Hm... Do you think bonespear will be of ANY use? My bonemancer does exactly 1.5k damage atm and he can't kill too good in act 5 NM... thinking about hell.... Ofcourse it's only for PI's but the mentioned PI's...

interesting. what stats and gear you using?
for the spellcasters get yourself a grizzly and cast him right in front of them. then close in and shockwave
 
Hey! :D

Do you think I can kill ventar and Achmel with clay golem + merc + decrep + bonespear? If not, what would you suggest? Wtf? Do you think bonespear will be that useful or do you just see it as a backup helping the merc and minion? I am about to start...

And which merc?
 
i odnt think you'll have enough skil points to have a good enough golem and bonespear, thats aliot of synergies your ignoring. It would be better to focus on 1 backup, not 2.
 
No, the golem should get only 1 point. In combination with decrep it should be able to survive and slow the monsters pretty well...

If you use the marrowwalk bug you could significantly up that damage.

i think you'll find that is with marrows
 
Yay! But my bonemancer has already skilled boneprison. I dunno if a lvl 20 bonespear with marrowwalks will be enough (with my +skills it does 1.5k dmg)... If ventars minions aren't PI and my merc + constantly fired little bonespear can kill him in a decent time, it's ok. My merc would be alone against achmel... If so, which merc would you recommend? A holy freezer is pretty much useless I think, because of decrep. I think I need something able to kill. A might merc?

EDIT: Just reread the post - you didn't think I thought that you could use the bug if the above weren't equiped? Think I think you think I thought you thought that :uhhuh:
 
without points in the skill he'd get ~1.5k bone spear. with max BS marrowwalks and 10+ plus skills


no the bug wont work if you have hard points in BP.

look at my posts. 2222


reborn look at it this way. maxing psn skills , curse, etc will take ~75 skill pnts. if we shoot for lvl 99 we can expect at least 100-105 therefore you'll have 25-30 points minimum to up your bone skills. so 20 Bone spear, then start maxing another synergy. it'll work

So the answer Reborn is to delete the character and start again doing it properly this time :lol: j/k

@Corax - Spamaz00rr!!!!111!
 
Hm... You are right. I hope I will find some skillers or something to increase general killspeed. :) So, I will start it I think. But you haven't commented on the merc question, yet! :D

Btw, I am doing baal runs atm. With tal rashas armor and lvl 90, I can handle it now. I found boneweave boots!! But whites... :-/

holy freeze is mainly a crowd control skill. if you can use curses good then go might. if not HF

gg Corax, Reborn I'd go might for the extra damage, attract is an awesome skill that will give you just about all the crown control you need, you can even use amp or decrip and it'll stay active.

I have 6.66 posts per day, how evil of me.
Anyway, just hit lvl 89. Yay!
And look at the most recent uniques pindle has dropped me..
String of ears
Grizwolds edge
Meat scraper (for mid level mercs)
thundergods vigor (that'll make my WSK runs safer)
dragon chang
Gheeds fortune

First i find string of ears, i equip it since im short of belts in my stash. a grizwolds makes a good early sword to mule.Then i find a nice mid level merc weapon. This is followed by Tgods, which i did own, but lost on a HC character.
later Gheeds fortune drops. And the irony is, the 1 gheeds i already own, i was weaering. Damn. But then i remembered the art of hot-muling, and all is now well. The first was a 30%Mf, this one a 25%, not great, but better than a green breast plate (only 2 dropped during this level of pindle running, most upset)
It must have taken about 2 hours of actual play time to get from 88 or 89, so i should be into the 90's early next week, if not before xmas (although the weekend im busy with relatives and presents, so no D2..)
Anyway, im off, i'll catch you tomorrow to wish you a merry xmas corax, if your online any time after midnight.
Reborn, hurry up and make a decision, since your falling further behind others....
