Maybe Orts and Rals for repairing and Hels for unsocketing and lower ones for upgrading to Orts, Rals and Hels, but that's it.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Wow. So THAT was the reason I have been putting off making my beloved classic ww barb in xpac for over a year now. I knew it would be bad, but when i sent Roy for his first (and probably last) twirl I nearly broke down and cried, as the big guy sailed merrily past a pack of flayers with less effect than if he had tried poking one with a sharpened tissue.

Well, I spose I can't complain too loudly. Duriels drop was one of the best Ive seen in a while (nothing for Roy of course). In clearing out the false tombs I was rewarded(?) with a handy item I had spent a few hundred thousand trying to gamble without luck, ironically from a puny urn I decided to take my anger out on in a deserted room. It proved to be a bit of a 2 edged sword with the amount of horking I'm doing, but the CBF mod is pretty much invaluable. :thumbsup:

I have been pretty lucky with my set drops, as the majority have not been weapons (one berserker's hatchet in the AT, on switch), leaving Roy free to whack away with a grey Maul socketed with a +5max dmg green jewel. It's slow, but it allows Roy to hold up his end of the bargain when it comes to getting down to business. I showed Haseen the end of my boot at the start of Act 3 and welcomed the lightning wolf Narphet, which turned out to be a good move as a angelic sickle dropped soon afterwards. :fortuneteller: It was also around this time that those extra hours and skill points devoted to horking were finally justified (turned out to be Irathas).

23 waypoints = 23 points
14 quests completed = 28 points.
7 set items equipped = 21 points
30 levels = -30 points

Total = 42 points

[highlight]Roy the no-longer-ww barb, Lower Kurast, Level 30, 42 points.[/highlight]

Also, one quick question Morathi: If I find another set weapon which is basically useless to me (a pretty likely scenario), am I allowed to equip it on switch in my other hand (it will be my 3rd) so that I can continue to use my Maul for as long as possible? Sorry if this has already been clarified, but for some reason I'm not sure many considerations were given to the possibility of Barbs finishing this tourney :prop:

Yes you can. Barbs have 5 weapon slots for weapons (2 on primary, 2 on switch and 1 for the merc). That is only the case provided that the set weapon isn't a two hander :wink3:.



 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Short update for my sin.

Bella the clvl32 Trapassin is cooling her heels at Pandemonium fortress. So far, her only problems were finding green items and deciding whether or not to invoke her trusty shadow. She's no Valk but maxed she should be able to tank. As of current, the merc could take the heat and when things get rough, MB and CoS are there to back him up. I'll see come NM whether or not to go with SM. My set items thus far are Berserker Axe, Cathan's Seal, Iratha's Cuffs, Vidala's Snare and Isenhart's Case (equipped by merc).

level 32....... -32
quests 18.... 36
WP............. no idea but I do full clears so I should have all WPs in Acts 1-3. Anyone?
greens 5...... 15

Total score: not sure yet. I'll get back with the answer tonight. :grin:

edit:
While questing in Act3, I came across this. Very weird fountain to spawn in the stairs.

Why? Can't barbs wield two-hander in one hand?

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Well, I'm going with Road Ratts stats since I am at the same spot, and I don't see any errors.

[highlight]MutNinjaTurt, Assassin, Act1 NM, Level 46, 60 points[/highlight]

40 waypoints = 40
27 quests completed = 54
4 set items equipped = 12
Level 46 = -46
Total = 60

MutNinjaTurt finished Normal with no deaths, suprisingly. I am pumping Shadow warriors fast, and it is now at lvl 14, she tanked Baal nicely and I had no NDE with him. Diablo however, was another matter. My shadow was very low, as was my mercenaries survivability. I fought Diablo at Player 1 because I knew it was going to be difficult, and even at such a low player level, I almost died multiple times. I did a lot of dodging, hit and runs, and portaling to town.

Act 5 gave me 2 sets; I suppose the game was making up for not dropping any during act4. I did all of act5 on /players 8 except for baal and his minions, which I completed on /players 5.

My first set was at the start of the act and was a useless Angelic sabre that ended up being socketed with the quest. Second set was a nice pair of Sigon boots that I am hoping to eventualy get a nice set bonus from. Lets hope act 1 Nightmare drops some more sets, because I don't know how well my assassin can do with minimal damage.

Still have no gambled any sets, even as I spend everything I get on gambling.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Venus has finished Act 1, but with nothing to show for it. Despite her green appearance, Andariel did not drop any green items. Nor did anyone else for the entire act. Grr! :rant: At least her score is now in positive territory...

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

I was a little worried about using an a3 merc since I've never used one before but he's working out pretty well. I got a cold one so he freezes 'em while my valk shatters them, which is a big help in the areas where monsters get raised. I had been worried that this would happen, now my merc is weaponless. On the bright side andy was kind enough to drop me two green items, one of which was a whitstan's guard so I have some blocking now, Yay! This dropped a little too late so I'll have to wait until a2 hell to use it but by then I don't know how much help it will be. Things have slowed a little now that my valk is my main killer but we're still plugging along at p8, with andy at p3. I had a NDE in viper temple 2 this morning, I got surrounded by the door as the vipers swarmed us but with my merc freezing, my blocking, health pots and one full rejuv I held out long enough for my valk to kill the ones nearest to me and save the day. :thumbsup:

Pepper cleared Act 3 with little difficulty, opting to use Fireball until Meteor is a bit stronger. I found Vidala's Bow in Upper Kurast, and was forced to spend ~30 points in Dex to accommodate it.

Each of the six Kurast temples contained immediate stairtraps, and 3 of those were double packs. Plenty of tight squeezes, but Pepper's powerful spells wiped them out quickly.

While clearing Durance level 1, I found Cleglaw's Sword and Mil's Shield in rapid succession. However, because I had to spend my saved points in Dex earlier, I lacked the Str to equip either. I will need to wait until Act 4 to equip the shield and enjoy its meager MF. I will gladly take it! I'm still stuck at 0% MF and it really sucks. Meph failed to drop green or gold, extending my unique drought to three full acts. The only upside is that I haven't had to endure the disappointment of finding a nice unique that I'll never get to use! :tongue:

# Only green items (set pieces) may be equipped. White or grey items may be used until a green item is found for each slot. After an appropriate green item has been found, you must use that item for that slot or go empty. Once you find multiple appropriate green items for a specific slot(helm, armour etc), you may decide which one you wear.
# Green weapons you find can be used towards any of the three weapon slots (primary, switch, merc) at your choice. The third green weapon you find must fill the last slot. If your merc cannot equip any of the three, he/she must go weaponless. You cannot however swap your merc to overcome this, but when you reach the next difficulty you may decide to re-hire your merc (same or different type). When you re-hire your merc if you have saved a set weapon that he/she can equip then you must equip it on your merc. If you don’t have a saved weapon then your merc must go weaponless until a set weapon drops that your merc can equip.


Does this not mean mean that you could of left it un-equiped as your secondary weapon slot? and kept that empty, continuing to use a white in your primary? or had you already found a green weapon before then

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Yes, he can put it in his weapon switch, but even then, he is going to need the dex just to equip it into that position.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Yes, I put Vidala's Bow into the weapon switch so that I could still equip my +3 Fireball staff. I wanted to keep my Prayer merc, not hire a rogue. Later when I found the green sword/kite shield, I was no longer eligible to carry the staff, so I finished the Act weaponless. (Merc is also weaponless, but that's not a problem. I just want a tank/aura.) Soon I'll have enough points for Str, and equip those green items. It was a bad break, finding that bow, I was hoping to avoid dex for now. However, if I find Sigon's or Whitstan's Shield, they will work in my favor. With those shields I'd probably shoot for 50% block.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

UPDATE

MrsGreen has been experiencing mixed fortunes so far. She is in Act5 and has gambled all her savings with no luck, I think she has serious addiction! There have been a few NDE so far, but nothing a full rejuvi couldn't fix and ofc teleport is a godsend :prop:so far game has been played /p8 all the way expect for diablo who i went /p1 just incase

Act II

My persistence with the electric beatles in the lair rewarded me with my 2nd Set Item which was Civerb's Shield, quite handy as I had the amulet already giving me a +21 Mana and 25% Poison Resist. Duriel was downed in about 5 seconds thanks to my static field, only 1 mana potion needed also but nothing on the drop

Act III

Act III is pushing MrsGreen over the edge with her gambling "hobby" with this jewel and a number of charms. My third green of the tourney arrived off a random mob in the flayer jungle; Cathan's seal of course. Finally i get my first much welcome Gem shrine, to grant me my first perfect gem. You all know those annoying act 3 mobs that heal eachother? well i managed to run into a pack of champions, It literally took me about 5 minutes to kill them lol as i was attacking one its health was going up quicker than i was lowering it! :shocked: The Tranvical left me empty handed as did Mephy

Act IV

Act IV started very pleasingly, finding Izual on /p8 completely alone, however the smile was wiped off my face with his drop Diablo was just as unsuccessful, leaving me with no set drops for act IV:cry:

Act V

Act V started with a very strange gamble, my 1st ever socketed output, Later Gut Drinker nearly drank my guts reducing me to such low health i thought i was a goner, luckily drank a rejubi just in time, but hes so bloody fast he caught up with me again, just squeezed into a tp to recover and return for my revenge! I get my 4th Green in the Drifter Cavern which is of no use to me, so gets slotted into my secondary weapon space. I also find a nice Polearm for my merc which i get socketed. However unfortunately its not going to last very long as amazingly i soon find ANOTHER "@!?!&! Vidala's Longbow, so now I am equipping both Bows and my shield is unavailable atm :( going to have to think about a new merc soon, which is such a shame as my act II merc works perfectly tanking whilst i blast from a distance. Currently I'm just about to finish the nithalik Quest, and on my last gamble i managed to land myself this If only it was green! It doesn't bear thinking about the amount of money I've spent Gambling :shocked:

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

I felt like at least starting my druid, so I cleared the Blood Moor and Den of Evil. I'm playing at /players 8, so took my time doing it and sold every single thing that dropped, getting about 13k to gamble with (though it's just sitting in my stash right now). Stopped in the Cold Plains since it took me longer than I thought it would.

Corpsefire didn't give me any set items, although he did drop a nifty rare jewel (with a green graphic!) with +mana, +lightning resist, -requirements. Not great, but still potentially useful.

BTW, this is my first werewolf druid in a while, and I'm going to be going /players 8 all the way, so expect an early deeds from me. XD

Mate i am not sure if you saw the rule change on page 8.

You can actually equip the bill on your merc now...i changed it :azn:.

Nice find by the way...i believe that is the only set weapon a act 2 merc can equip....so good drop indeed.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Last left off, I had gambled Arctic Furs and Found Cleglaws shield, and had just done Radaments quest.

This afternoon/evening I plowed through the rest of act 2, at players 8, doing full clears, picking up lots and gambling like crazy. I gambled about 80 Light Belts, but had no luck on Arctic Binding. The only thing that kept my kill speed from being embarassingly small was my 6-8 points in charged strike. I'd use it constantly and chug mana potions as they fell. I haven't had any near death experiences. Health 50% or higher the entire time, and never used more than 2-3 potions. STR/Dex are about 50, vit about 90, and I've continued collecting damage charms: a bunch of 1-3/4/5 lightning, a few 6 poison, a couple cold, and this gem:

Grand Charm of Thunder
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 11
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 17

I am now in town, having just finished the claw viper temple (did Ancient tunnels and all the stuff before Claw Viper Temple) so I need to do The Palace, Arcane Sanctuary, then all those false tombs.

No more green drops, unfortunately.

Score:

1. 15 waypoints complete = 15 points.
2. 8 quests complete = 16 points
3. 2 set items equipped = 6 points
4. 25 levels = -25 points.

Score: 12 points.
