East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

ESU_Kaya will be missed. There still would be time to remake her I think, if you wanted.

I went back on later and muled off gems, runes and items we might want to save. I also crafted a Blood belt. It's just a twelve slot, I don't recall seeing a mesh belt drop yet. I got a pretty good roll dis-spite the belt's low level, 3LL, 9% chance of open wounds, 20 life, 9 fire resist and another mod. This let me set aside the Cathan's ring and let me use one of those resist rings that Ormus gave us.:thumbup:

Other than rubies, there are a fair amount of gems on the mules and some runes. Craft away folks! Anyone who needs the mule account/password can PM me or Master Zap.
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

I'm slightly worried about Diablo and IM concerns for A4, but being that i'm the tank, i've done a few solo baals for items, and have a decent Res list, But, if we could shop for some Lite res, and Fire res charms or extraneous items, I would be much more comforted.

My first round was very fun and interesting, it was like the early days, just doing all acts together in a large unique group, and still finding the time to be considerate and fun to be around, I look forward to this coming Monday, and it's new experiences.

R.I.P. Kaya, (I can help to get you up to speed if you want, we still have a half a week)

I'm not sure I can make it tonight. My wife had medical procedure done today and is feeling a little poorly ATM. I need to care for her.

Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

I was struggling to stay focued last night for some reason. Maybe the holiday coming up or something. Either way we lived to see another day.

I'm not sure if anyone has the same concerns, but since we're about to enter hell do we have any hope of finding enough resist gear for everyone?
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

eh, Not sure yet if I'm going to make it tonight, daughters b-day. Soon as I find out what the party plans are I'll let ya know for sure.
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

Happy Birthday to your Daughter Nomad, she and I share the same day :girly:
Today I turned 27. Hope you can make it, but I understand if you cant.



As promised here's some juicy d2 screenshots from this band of merry adventurers.


Here's Duriel, he died so quickly I almost missed the screenie. The only other thing memorable was he's completely predictable non drop.

This was on our way to to the forge, just before Heph. This was a particularly nasty spawn if I say so myself! (and I do:crazyeyes: ) Bonus points for being eth.

The only thing missing on Heph here is being FE to pop the lucky winner into deeds land.
Spectral hit, Aura Enchanted + extra strong

Even the Head Cheese went down, he was packing Velveeta instead of Brie de Meaux from Renard Gillard.

I do intend to remake for next week. My build was severaly handicapped by intending to be a cleric pally for a group. I had prayer maxed. Also had 15 in conviction and was going to use insight staff/pole with veng. After the chanter died I took my 26 remaining skill points and dumped them into fanat.

Didnt make much difference, still died right after. I'm not 100% certain what the remake will be. The remaining team consists of a bowzon and a summon druid.

:coffee:
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

Well, it was fun to be a part of it, but I doubt I have the time to remake the barb and rejoin, but wish the rest of the party goodluck, and stay far away from Radament's hoe ***.:jig:
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

That is what went wrong, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday Sara.:doh:

This was a rough night. It will be pretty tough for nomadj and me to carry on by ourselves. (though not impossible ;) ) We sure could use some help.

Also had 15 in conviction
That conviction helped so much. The Skystrike isn't much in terms of physical damage, still it has a fair amount of lit dam (1-250) and coupled with my circlet (1-114?)lit dam and your conviction made it pretty potent. Conviction would even more helpful with a Harmony bow. Still, cloak or DV might be better in the long run.

I love the attitude.:thumbup:
After the third death for the night I decided to go to the ER and have my seat removed from my rear. That was flipping tense for a new guy like me. :scared:


 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

ugh. what a sloppy death for my sorc on my part. "I'll just tele back to the group to catch up, what with my terrible res and no bo it will be no problem...oops, one click to far, oh...mana burn, thats interesting...deeds."

It's possible i could catch up by next monday, but i gotta wonder why? gonna take a few people rebuilding to have a team worth anything...
 
Re: East Side Untwinked "ESU" Round 2

It would be great if you could. Maybe you can link up with Master Zap, soloing would be painfully slow. I know about it, yesterday I played catch up in NM, trying to get at least to level 70. I made it to 69 1/2. I had some interesting drops though, like a Mal rune out of stash in the halls of pain. More about them later.

Unlimited editing is neat. After trying two prismatic ammy rolls, both crummy, I started out in act1 and did the 'Tour de Nightmare'.

The countess drops an Amn and a Hsaru's belt. I equip it and put the boots back on, resistance takes a hit, LL disappears and my AR jumps 600+ points. Hsaru's are almost as good as Angelic's for AR. Andy drops a couple rares and a low level axe, Charsi food.

The ancient tunnels (yeah, I even run them in NM) produced nada, a Nightsmoke dropped in the lost city though. Meph gave me junk and I skipped A4.

On to A5 to pickup the wayports I'd missed. A couple so-so charms and 3 socket spyder bow are found in the ice caves, I have over 700 life now, whoopie!! ;OP I do Pindle and continue into the halls and the Mal drops.

New game, Edge has been made in the Spyder bow( pretty good roll, 371ED to demons) and the rogue is using it. I get to watch my decoy record her first two kills, a couple blunderboars in the highlands. It is a kick to watch them reel back after hitting her. This won't be as effective in hell, still it will give us some edge.:rolleyes:

Sara, did you find out if Cars is going to join up with us for whats left of our misadventures? I asked him about it last night and he mentioned something about making babies then disappeared. I'm not sure what on earth it ment but I chickled at the time. :)

I asked him about it, but he wasnt clear about joining. Prior to this esu start I urged him pretty heavily to join us. Cars is one of the people I play the most with.

Currently I'm planning on using the CTA barb I made this sat for esu. It's untwinked adds some bo and with leap it's a decent party and support character.

He's rocking out sig armor and gloves , some random +2 bo hat. He has a pupil+black tyrant club as his wep.

I think his res are like all -40 , except maybe his light res. Ouch! . When I played him last we Had Myk making liberal use of dim vision. That will be missed.

I Look forward to rejoining everyone later on at 9.

I will be there. I managed to get my lit/fire res positive by making a Lore hat and swiping my merc's armor. Poison res is about -50 though, guess I'll have to carry some dotes.
