Green with Envy II Tournament

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

yeah, looking back that might have been a good idea. This was my 1st Necro ever and only my 2nd ever HC character, I was unaware clay golem could actually be used past act 1 normal! I was using blood then iron golem. At point of death my point allocation was as follows.

Raise Skelly: 20
Skelly Mast: 3
Clay Golem: 1
Golem Mast: 1
Blood Golem: 1
Raise Skelly Mage: 1
Iron Golem: 1
Summon Resist: 1
Revive: 1
Bone Armour: 1
Bone Wall: 1
Teeth: 1
Corpse Explosion: 1
Amplify Damage: 1
Weaken: 1
Terror: 1

Act I was played on /p7, but Andariel was killed on /p1. I was quite afraid of her (as of all act bosses), but it was surprisingly easy, even skeletons were able to tank quite well. Greedy Andy didn’t drop anything interesting, just junk. But exploring catacombs brought nice present – Sander’s Riprap, waiting in stash.

Also Radament is done.

I finished NM very fast after anya rescue. Ancients are nice to kill with my army they are too small. :smiley:
Ball with minions finished without problems too.
Then I finally just started really fight in unique difficulty in diablo :smiley:. Make a first skeleton was problem but then I found thresher for my merc and I replaced eth. halberd whitch I found on normal and now is good. In cold plains I found sanders boots and I change my rite of passage for them for some str+dex more but nothing points for it more. In tristram I found several bosspacks but nothing problems there. In dark wood treehead Woodfist had a fanatism aura but he was too alone for make me some problems. Now I am waiting for countness problem. And I have some fear from tamoe highland and catacombs with my problematic resists.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

I have a teensy question about gambling for sets:

If I wanted to gamble for, say, Death's Hands (qlvl 8), does that mean I have to be a maximum of clvl 13 to be able to get it (because of the -5/+4 rule)?

You need to be a minimum level 13 to guarantee that the item level will be high enough for it to have a chance to be Death´s Hand. It would be possible already at level 4, but it would be 10 times harder to get it at that level. 1 in 1000 is bad as it is.

Hi everyone,

I haven't played in a tourney for months, but this one caught my eye and looks really fun. I'm going to attempt a barbarian, although I suspect Og won't get very far...

I'll post my update later.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

This is a stupid, stupid thing for me to do because I definitely don't need something else vacuuming up my free time, but I'm in. I'm gonna do a Sorceress named Sadler, and I'm going to utilize the awe-inspiring power of Blaze (har har, Blaze-ing Sadler).

I'll update the table once I've made any sort of progress.

Just finished ActII. I played mostly on /p8, except Maggot's Lair, too many giant cockroaches (urgh), and Duriel. I was too scared of a 1 hit KO, even if I have almost 500 hp in bear form and killed him in bear form.

Act II granted 2 greens, Cathan's Visage and Isenhart's Case, not so bad I might say.

I'm still following my plan of a hybrid fire druid, a flame bear, with Fissure at 14 and 1 point in Volcano. I'm quite impressed by Fissure's damage and I'm getting used to its "randomness". On the other hand, I love to morph into bear form and abuse of my fire claws here and there, but skill is still at 2 and not gonna move from that till... well, till synergies are a bit higher maybe.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Hey guys, i havn't had much time to play due to the amount of holiday homework given to me. And tomorrow i am back at school so that will further slow me down, however i am still going strong and i am slowly progressing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 3 began with an early welcoming present, excellent my 4th set in the form of Hsarus’s boots :grin:. The fast run walk and the nice 25% boost to fire resistance will surely come in handy later down the track. However not all has been that grand because something has been annoying me….yep you guessed it Flayers!!!. These little bastards are a pain in the arse and especially when you use Molten Boulder, which is a relatively slow spell. I have had to adopt alternative means of dealing with flayers. One good strategy I have acquired is deliberately dragging as many flayers as I can to a solid object or the corner of a wall, then unleash a boulder to spark an early explosion. It is quite an arduous task, but it is effective.

The rest of the Spider Forest and the Great March were cleared with easy thanks to a very devastating Molten Boulder. It wasn’t long until we found our selves in the Flayer Jungle, there in the dungeon we found our 5th set item, Sigons helm. Interesting, however due to the requirements I am unable to equip it so Chalan can take the honours for now. Plus I don’t really want to get rid of my +2 Molten Boulder Antlers (lets just hope I don’t find another set helm for awhile :wink:).

The party didn’t stop their when in the Sewers my 6th set dropped, YAY!! Milaberga’s orb. Thank god for that dropping… now I finally have some MF :grin:. Boy its been hard being without it but now I can rest easy. Lets just hope more continues to come from here on in.

It wasn’t long until we found our self at the Durance of Hate level 3 where Bremfist gave us our 7th set. Hrrrrm Chalan can have that one :grin:. With Brem and his mob sizzling on the floor it was time to take on Meph.

Mephisto was a piece of cake thanks to my level 1 bear, who tanked the majority of his attacks. This allowed me to stand back and launch boulders and the volcano's at will. The heat seemed to much for Meph and he fell without much of a fight despite it being p/8. His drop left little to be desired. Aw well this act has been very good to me as far as set items go,….lets hope that continues in act 4.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Sadler is up to the Black Marsh. She's made quick work of just about everything, especially now with her trusty Cold Arrow-shooting friendo Mahala. No green items yet, but that's just allowed me to hang on to my Superior Scepter that much longer (the best Act 1 Weapon, incidentally, especially if it's plain things you're looking for). No particularly grievous drops, except for this pompous little shiny chest in the Underground. I actually just realized that I neglected to do the Cave, so maybe the cold ranger lady'll drop something nice. I'm level 15 at the moment, 3 in Blaze, 6 in Static Field, and a spare point or two in Charged Bolt and Lightning. Hopefully I'll find something green soon, and the real fun can begin.

Sadler the Blaze/Static Field Sorc, Act 1, Black March, Level 15.

(I hate tables, but I'll figure out how to add myself eventually)

Filip went through act II on /p5, only Maggot Lair was played on /p1. In Arcane Sanctuary first slighty trouble appeared. I chose the way with portals as first (quite unusual, because I rather don’t like this way) and in one place Filip got himself into crowd of enemies standing just behind the portal. Merc and 2 skeletons were too little „shield“, but fortunately it was possible to jump into another portal. But one full rejuvenation potion was needed suddenly drink. At least in the end we found out that this way was the right way. I also cleared one more way, but I got bored in AS, so I decided to clear tombs instead. I must admit that with necro it was quite comfortable and fast. But no interesting drops there, only monsters with nice names.

Before Duriel I switched to /p1, I was a bit afraid, but my group of skeletons was very good tank. I have already maxed Raise skeletons and 17 points in SM, so skeletons are gg even with only 1 point in Summon resist now. The only thing which scares me quite a bit is, that skeletons won’t be much stronger on hell. Now it was safe, but their killing speed isn’t high at all, I’m curious how will be their ratio durability/killing speed later in game.

Duriel dropped first ring for me - Cathan's Seal. Stil no helm nor armor though and I also have just one weapon up to now.
 
Pepper is now a Destroyer, after an uneventful finish of Act 5. With the rapid leveling, I maxed Meteor, then switched back to building Fireball. Meteor continues to rack up many one-hit kills. Its damage range is very consistent, so I was able to memorize which monster types required one shot, and which required a second meteor. Some types need 1 meteor plus "a little bit". For them, a hip-shot fireball, while the meteor was descending, provided an effective left-right combo. First a quick stun to keep them in place, then a knockout blow.

Drops were not friendly. I found a couple useless repeat greens along the way, no help at all. Baal's drop looked pretty, but was yet another failure in Pepper's long miserable saga of MF woe. The gold trident was only the second unique she found, after p8 full-clearing all of Normal. :undecided:

I got my favorite cow entrance map, tucked safely in the corner of a nice inlet. Not that I needed it, Meteors did a fantastic job of roasting the cows. No worries.

Faced with a poor selection of socket-quest choices (and an even poorer selection of green jewels), I went with the only option that offered at least minimal potential long-term impact: I socketed Mil's shield with a paltry MF jool. That gave me a 20% MF improvement! :rolleyes:
Clearly I need every bit of help I can get.

Pepper finished the Den of Evil quest, made use of a nifty triple XP station, and ventured underground again to slay the mighty Coldcrow. (To her credit, Ms. Frosty managed to score one last Multi-shot into Pepper's face.)

Stats: Level 49, Str 62, Dex 49, Vit 158 (401 life), Energy 55 (173 mana, I placed a lot of early points into Energy). Resists: 25/30/1/-10.

Skills:
1 Inferno, Blaze, Firewall, Static, TK, Tele, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast
10 Fire Bolt
13 Fireball (776-918 damage)
20 Meteor (2559-2730 damage)
2 Fire Mastery

Greens: Infernal Cap, Isenhart's Case/Sword, Mil's Shield, Arctic Belt, Cathan's Seal, Tancred's Pick and another Mil's Shield on switch. Fazel the Prayer merc is wearing Berserker's Helm and another Case.

I am going through the hell with my indestructible army. Yesterday I finished act I without problems only with Andy I spent some time more. In jail I found nice belt http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/821/screenshot207pc0.jpg . And from andy another one http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/7205/screenshot208vd4.jpg .
Today I started act II with some small problematic passage in sewers lvl 2 but nothing special. Radament drop me only book. :smiley:
Then I went on desert and first skeleton make me a huge problem beacuse first monsters I met group of champions and my merc die twice first he made first corpse.
Then I had small problem with cold enchanted boss in halls of dead which wants me and no skelies. I must use 2 Full elixires during one second but for my fortune I escape using decrepify. The huge problems I had in maggots lair when I met two bosspacks of maggots young and one of them had stone skin and I was not able to kill it. For my luck I found another way. In maggots lair level 2 I see conviction under my army and me and I immediatelly escape from that corridor but 2 Full elixires drinking again. Than I finally took staff and when I found lost city waypoint I finished game today. Now I have fear from arcanes spectra whitch are hard to beat using skelies.

93 waypoints = 93
61 quests =122
9 greens = 27
Level 71 = -71
Total =171

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Short update for now since I'm at work. :grin:

Bella is at NM Jail lvl1 WP where she decided to cool off. So far so good (read: no LIs encountered yet) so she handled everything up to now in /p8 with full clears. LEs were present occasionally but nevertheless fell to the might of 5 LS in unison. She also has decided to go the no SM route and will rely heavily on CS and MB instead to keep mobs from bashing her brains in. Item-wise, she has everything to complete Cathan's Traps set but the staff.

Worn green items: Sigon's Visor (helm), Cathan's Sigil (ammy), Cathan's Mesh (armor), 2 Berserker's Hatchet (weapon1 and weapon2), Iratha's Cuffs (gloves), Cathan's Seal (ring1) and Sigon's Sabot (boots) + Isenhart's Case (merc armor). Cathan's Visage (helm) is stashed in inventory while waiting for Cathan's Rule (staff) to avail of complete set bonus of +25 all resists.

Empty item slots: shield1, shield2, belt, ring2, merc helm, merc weapon (read: Hwanin's Justice)

46 waypoints = 46
32 quests = 64
9 greens = 27
Level 51 = -51
Total = 86

[highlight]Bella the Trapassin, clvl51, NM Act1 Jail, the Maiden of Anguish next.[/highlight]

Welcome to SPF and have a good fun with this tourney (good decision that you are choose play in this tournament) :smiley:


 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Welcome KingSniper, I myself am quite new here, and find the combination on SP play + Tourneys + this forum provides a far more enjoyable game than online play, I hope you find it the same :) Gl
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Thanks, lvl 4 and havent entered den gotta love all clears although i wont clear this getting bored and i want my skill point :cool: i will full clear the rest though i dont think it will matter too much if i only miss one low lvl area but im sure somone with more knowledge shall tell me otherwise :grin: obviously this char is for fun and not following specific guides etc anyone know if a fissure/summoner would work ... max fissure an synergies and then mostly bear and would it be oak or heart i will need? life or power ... i dont need life if im careful as i have tanks ... and bear can use more damage in places with fire immunes ... :brainiac: guess i have to think this through more than i thought as the added set item bit could mess with allocations

Edit:

Can somone tell me is it better maxing firestorm an fissure early or get summons early? thinking about duriel etc although i know if im a good lvl she will be easy

Edit2 Easy_raise it lvl 16 -3 points just finished summoner ... i havent seen a set item yet bad luck? hope one drops though but i have a nice +2 molten helm ... while maxing firestorm its been GG and ive become a bowler for a act or 2
