Green with Envy II Tournament

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Finished Anderial using fireball as a main skill. She dropped...about 6 rares but no greens :(. Some bits were a struggle but shes on her way to easier days with meteor and blizzard.

Managed to gamble Isenhart's Horns but other than that there has been no greens since early act I.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Green is green, jiansonz. Last gambling session, I gambled rings, amulets, full helms, bone helms, helms, skull caps(before arcanna's head dropped), crowns, leather armor, boots, chain boots, light plated boots, greaves, chain gloves, light gauntlets, sashes, plated belts, quilted armors, small shields, large shields, kite shields, gothic shields, tower shields, double axes, long swords, war swords, short war bows, long battle bows.

Next session howver, I am going to specialize again :P
And by specialize, I mean sash, war sword (Death's set, I'd like the CBF on the sash), chain boots (to complete a second set, Hsaru's), rings (another halo would be nice!).
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

hmm, i think "targeted" gambling is better, since you are forced to equip green items. I recently found the green warsword you are talking about (havent updated table yet). Not too good, since im forced to pump dex now... :(
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

You may very well be right iomanip :P I decided to do it like that because I didn't feel like a long gambling set right then (still in a happy daze over the angelic halo I guess). My next gambling session is coming up real soon (MY stash is full, and I carry a bit over 300K coins). That one will be focused.

The inner cloister and catacombs gave the only problems in the act, and they all came from one monster type : Misshapen. I am trying to find a decent ethereal partizan with 4 sockets, I have 4 emerald pgems ready to put in there. Should I fail to find that, I might very well decide to switch to a cold merc in Act III... Anyways, my lightning traps only slowly whittled away their life, and their globs of lightning tore away large chunks of the morons life. My shadow master couldn't cope with them. But with my latest SC addition (8% LR) I now have a 74% LR with Fade on, and that meant I could help my moron by being a bit of a tank for him. Coupled with CoS and Death sentrys every once in a while, it was enough to deal with them. One particulalr nasty CE MR one spawned Lightning Immune. I wound up mindblasting him while my merc slowly killed him off.

No other problems down there, and that included andariel. The merc croaked almost at the beginning of the slugfest, but my death hand gloves coupled with mala's resist scroll bonus and a lvl 3 fade (and the +25resist bonus from my set) was enough to keep my PR full, and posion duration was minimal with posion length reduction by 75%. I simply kept laying traps and drank a healing pot when my health dropped below half. She died a couple of minutes later, and dropped a green sabre and a gold brandistock, both allready in my possession of course.

As far as drops go, it was gg for me down there. No uniques, and plenty of greens. I found myself another angelic raiment, the above mentioned sabre, a berserkers hatchet, a sigon's gage (my fist item in the set) and an Isenharts horns, which was placed on the head of the moron.
I now have three out of the four isenhart set items, which means I'll be gambling for large shields as well. If I get the full set, I'll use it to outfit an Act III merc.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Entering, and adding self to table... :wave:

Arimos is a Fire Summoner (Hunter, hopefully) druid, Fissure/Dire Wolves with Volcano/Grizzly backup. It's a super-solid build so far midway through act 2 - Fissure just totally tears up everything right now. Playing everything on /p7 (did Andy at /p5, and Maggot Lair at /p1). Only one thing that was even remotely dangerous so far - a CE Beetle boss somewhere in the desert.

3 Set items so far:
- Hsauru's Iron Stay (Halls of the dead)
- Isenhart's Horns (Far Oasis)
- Berserker's Headgear (Far Oasis) - on merc

The two helmets dropped about 2 minutes apart - weird. I really, really didn't want to see the 2nd one, as that means I can't use a +skills pelt anymore (I had a +3 Raven pelt - 4 Ravens blinding everything was quite nice), but oh well.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

The sewers were easy enough, and provided little loot, xcept for a unique long bow. The first desert areas netted little green as well, allthough I did find The Chieftain, Brainhew and BladeBuckle uniques here. Nothing troublesome yet, except for a lightning immmune horror hero in the stony tomb. He died easily though, to my merc and myself.
The Lost Oasis started of nice enough, with my first exceptional item, green demonhide boots. They were stashed, the mods on Sanders RipRap were better IMHO. For the rest, nothing noteworthy dropped. The maggot lair was done at p8 and caused no problems, allthough it was annoying trying to cast my traps just right. With my PR, Coldwurm Burrower was no issue. One antidote and the merc was saved as well.
The next area was unproblematic as well, and netted me little. The ancient tunnels were incredibly small, incredibly easy, and once again, nothing (well, a shael rune dropped here). Claw Viper temple then...
I got claw vipers, salamanders and guardians, and was greeted at the entrance by a cold enchanted cursed Salamander here with guardian backup. No sweat, my traps took care of those. That story pretty much held true throught the entire upper level, allthough my moron once died charging headlong into two guardian heroes with some nasty mods.
The second level was easy as well, since I wasn't trapped at the entrance, and Fangskin did not spawn Lightning Immune. A regular mob here dropped another angelic wings.

The palace was ... problematic. Plenty of lightning immunes, and those horror archers were quite resistant to my traps. It made for interesting battles, that's for sure. Inthe jail lvl 2, the middle area held two horror archer heros. Both witht he same mods (Magic Resistant, FE). Both with the same immunities... Immune to lightning and fire. Not nice! I slowly cleared out the roomfrom minions with my traps, while keeping it cloaked. next, I bought some magic potions, and proceeded by keeping one of the two under mindblast while my moron (lucky me!) managed to work the other through the door. A bit of a tassle later, first the one, then the other died. The first one, the one outside, dropped an arm of King Leoric.

one NDE here, when I got cursed by a CE cursed Invader hero, and immediately targetted by a horror archer hero with at least LR aura on it. I slammed down on 3 keys at once, and since one was a big purple, I survived.

Enter the arcane sacntuary. And. Wow. My first leg was AWESOME. it held the summoner at the end. Almost iimmediately, another exceptional set item dropped.. Tal Rasha's Fine Spun Cloth. only 11% MF, but I was tempted to swap it in for Hsaru's. I didn't at the end though, I felt that 11% MF did not outweigh the CR, +20 life and good defense from the Hsaru's iron stay.

A little bit later, a green ... ring dropped. My last unfilled slot(EDIT: nope, sorry. Forgot I have an empty shield slot in the alternate weapon set). It turned out to be... well, let's just say I completed my second set. Or, better said, I completed my first set.. .again :wink3: So now I was wearing 2 halo's and have a nice 140%MF.
The summoner was no problem of course. On the way back, I got another set item (three set items in the first leg of the sancttuary!). Too bad though, it was another RiteOfPassage.

2 more legs done as well. Left the last one alone, since my inventory and stash were full.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Cool progress Merlin. Sweet find in the 2nd angelic ring for the "godly" MF :laugh:

Been a busy couple of days for me, getting ready to move to a new house. I got my character a couple of waypoints further, but I'll abstain from updating at least until Andariel is dead.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

So the last stretch took me several runs. The last leg of the sanctuary dropped nothing of interest, so I went to the canyon. And there, I had agood drop... Natalya's soul. Now, that's a nice set of boots, better then the riprap trash of Sander. Got max Cold resist and mxx -1 lightning resist rolls on it too :P
The first few tombs dropped lots of green, nothing terribly useful. I did swap out Arcanna's flesh for Milabrega's crownthingie, and I found a Cathans seal, which I didnt wear of course... Only one tomb had a nasty boss surprise at the entrance (apparaition hero with a fanaticism aura and cold enchanted, coupled with an Extra Strong Gorebelly hero with Curse.As luck had it though, my merc had slowed the lot for a while (a few desperate reds in his gullet kept him alive a bit, and my traps were all focused on the mean Gorebelly hero, and the apparition hero who stacked right in front of it. They died soon after, the mob up was easy enough.
Duriel was annoying. I went for him on p8. My moron was of little use here, he died pretty much the moment Duriel charged. So I was forced to rely on health pots and mana pots, summoning traps and my shadow master to keep Duriel occupied for a second of three, four.It was enough in the end of course. He dropped no greens, but he had a Dark Clan Crusher on him, that was nice (unique cudgel). On to Kurast!


As far as my opponents went, most were quite doable, allthough I swear almost half the heroes spawned LE. Damn.
I can foresee desig issues coming up. My lightning damage output is not going to be terribly impressive later on, and I need some way to compensate. MY plan? Merc Act III, cold of course, give him as many useful green items as I can find. As far as skills go, I ave Death sentry and lightning sentry maxed. 6 hard points in CB sentry, as well as 3 in both shock web and fire blast. My LT traps do 1-1,5K damage. It'll have to do for now.
ATM, I am pumping my shadow master. I want it to be a bit of a tank, since the A3 moron won't not really.Besides, she can use her skills to dish out some other damage (fire, physical etc.) Ah well, I'll see how far I can come.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

So where are the others? Iomanip said he had made some progress... Curious to hear about it, 2bhonest.

As for mihanti, she made it lower kurast. No real problems, xcept for the electrified treestump at the entrance. He quickly became a huge problem. And I mean huge as in 3 merc resurrections, 30 bought and quaffed mana pots, and about the same in health pots, and at least 7tp to get stuff. He didn't spawn lightning immune (phew), but he did spawn cold enchanted. Which meant my merc did piddly damage. And his slow was barely noticeable, since Stormtree was pretty much constantly in frenzy mode. The master was able to tank three or four hits before dying (sometimes only 1 hit), so I wound up multitasking in laying traps, drinknig pots, resummoning the shadow master and Mindblasting for all that I was worth. He dropped crap by the way, but I'm not complaining... at least he died! :P

Drops? Yeah, several. in the space of 1 minute I went from having no item from the oprhans call set to having half the set :P Wyrstans Guard and Magnus Skin. I'll keep the Death's hands in my stash for when I need good PR. The shield was sweet, I suddenly gained 75% block, at the cost of some defense though (Hsaru's buckler, coupled with the belt, provided me with hefty bonuses). It also means I have only 1 set item option open, the shiled for the moron. Or, having said that, soon to be my alternate weapon set shield, since I think the merc can use as many items as he can possibly get.

All in all I am pretty satisfied with my choice though. His cold damage is decent, and the slow (and freeze) very useful. My shadow master usually manages to stay alive for a bit, enough at least to make the goings reasonably safe.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

ACT III

Mephisto was a breeze..had him sleepin with the fishies in seconds and he rewarded my brutality with NATHIN. Found a green amulet (Iratha's Collar) in lower Kurrast which was nice. Also came across Isenhart's Case which together with the sword and helm, gave some good bonuses.

Act IV
Started off ok and quickly fought my way to the chaos sanctuary. Found a Berserker's Hatchet there. That brings my greens to a total of 7. Diablo took out my moron again and again without a sweat, however he stood no chacne to static field and ice orb and quickly dropped 6 rares to my dispair :(

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Sorry iomanip, didn't mean to slight you. And about my tourney, I'll get back to it... I still have a necro venommancer to finish, I loved working that guy.

As for the others, Charlo, Harrid and Jabari, interesting characters all! I hope you'll get some set items soon Harrid. And Charlo, gg on the meteorb. A challenging build, but you can take her much farther then I can the asassin.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Nothing terribly special to report. Finished Act 1 without any set or unique items. Still, despite wearing all plain items, between Fade (currently slvl 3) and 0/0/22/19 from charms, my resists are fairly healthy. Not getting to use Burst of Speed is annoying, but I'm sure dying would be worse :laugh:

Andariel only managed to kill my Shadow Warrior a few times, but the Maiden of Anguish didn't make much noise aside from that.

Apparently my imbued wand and a couple of others that I found will sell for over 10k, so I'm still hanging on to those. Otherwise, drops have been lackluster (aside from a disproportionately high number of chipped gems being topazes, but of course that's pretty much useless here :laugh: ).

Still gambling long swords, chain gloves, small shields, quilted armors, and light belts with no green returns. Maybe Elzix will prove to be friendlier than greedy Gheedy.

I found out something interesting, though: the PC and the shadow can overwrite each others' Cloak of Shadows castings. It won't mean as much when I switch to using Shadow Master since I can't remote control that one, but I am currently able to keep a constant CoS in effect against annoying enemies (like the vampires I got in Catacombs 3).

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

Thats another thing i noticed.

I've never found so many chipped gems in all my days of diablo. Must have been atleast 80. Of course they can been used to re-roll staffs, wands and scepters for some huge cash in act IV nd V.
 
Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

As Veridian pushed open yet another stone door in the seemingly endless tomb, a veritable wall of skeletal warriors came forth to greet her. She called down the darkness of the night, blinding even their unnatural senses, and shouted back to her own animated soldier, "Now, Shadow! Scorch their bones!"

Ever obedient, the Shadow Warrior deployed traps to release wave after wave of flames over the hapless undead. Veridian started to smile, feeling that another victory was at hand, when a sleek beast suddenly advanced through the ranks of the skeletons.

Appearing to be a diabolical cross between a woman and a panther, the infamous Blood Witch the Wild moved the agility of a great cat and struck with preternatural strength, cursing any who stood against her unearthly blade with a sudden sensitivity to wounding. Pratham advanced fearlessly to engage this new foe, courageously protecting his companions as they unleashed their own offense to fell the beast.

With Blood Witch sent back to the Hells that spawned her, Veridian and the others faced no difficulties in laying to rest the skeletons and their mummified leaders. As the trio searched through the remains of their slain enemies, Veridian came across a chest containing a powerful artifact - a strangely inscribed cube that opened to reveal an extradimensional pocket and a button labeled "Transmute". "Let's return to Lut Gholein," she said. "I want Cain to take a look at this."

"Does that mean my work with you is done?" Pratham asked.

"There are still many horrors awaiting us, mercenary. Remain with me," Veridian replied with a teasing smile, "and you'll be compensated accordingly."

After mulling over her words for a moments, he returned her smile and said, "All of this wandering the desert can't hurt, either. Atma always says her husband's tan was what drew her to him."

The two of them shared a laugh. "Well, I'm sure you'll have plenty to time to develop your own. Even stopping to explore these tombs isn't going to keep us out of the sun for long, and I can hardly imagine we'll be spending hours diving into sewers or crawling through underground tunnels, seeing as we are in the middle of the desert."

Faithful and silent servant though she was, the Shadow Warrior was sentient enough that she could not help mentally saying a prayer that Veridian's jesting words would not come back to haunt them.

So, putting my desire to write stories aside for a moment, I did a clear of the first outdoor area of Act 2 (which I can never remember the name of), plus clears of Stony Tomb and Halls of the Dead. Fortunately, I have a very short map from Lut Gholein to Dry Hills (and Halls of the Dead was right next to the entrance to Dry Hills), so I shouldn't need to rekill anything when I go to do Dry Hills. Of course, first there is the matter of getting Atma's revenge.

Still no greens, but at least doing 3 chippy with the cube let me con Drognan out of ~9k. I'll continue cheating him when I get back all of my 60 or so chippies from Act 1.

2 more levels until I get my 1 point Lightning Sentry and Mind Blast, then 6 more until I can finally get access to some max-worthy skills. Level faster, woman! :laugh:

Code: 
Levels:   22 x-1 = -22
Quests:    6 x 2 = 12
Waypoints:11 x 1 = 11
Set Items: 0 x 3 =  0
-----------------------
Total		 =  1

Managed to lose a point :laugh:

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

And mihanti's quest continues... No more green drops to report, apart from a berserkers helmet that is. And another Double Axe(making it nr.3).
So the temples all around kurast were a pain, I entered each one , immediate CoS and then spam my traps. Slow going, but it worked. One by one, they were cleared. The Sewers were not too difficult (allthough those horadric Ancients and their horror minions took a lot of lightning damage to die.) Downstairs I found 2 horadric ancient heroes, fortunately none had good mods. Upper kurast, travincail were mopped up, then the high council. I was afraid my traps wouldnt be able to deliver the punch i needed. I was wrong. The Ward dropped from one of them, I would have much preferred to see a green gothic shield, thank you very much.

Durance 2 provided longest possible distance between waypoint and exit. It would have been shorter!(:shocked:) to go frmo travincail wp I guess, but I didn't feel like dodging a room full of council members:laugh:. CoS and a few traps helped clear the way for me to durance lvl 3. I was sure that bremmie would be the end of me, but as luck had it, he wasn't immune to lightning, and his aura was blessed aim. Oh well.The durance was cleaned out quickly, and mephisto died after a very safe and boring fight on p8. He dropped only useless (and I mean really useless!!! mods that you could find in A2/A1 normal) rares, and one low lvl deathbit unique battle dart. First 2 areas of A4 were easy enough, especially since I didn't get any burning souls... just doom casters.
Allthough I did get 3 hero doom casters, 1 champion pack and 1 hero of Doom Knights all close to the entrance. Izual spawned on the far end of that map. Foolishly enough, I put those two points in Shock Web. Well, it synergizes my Lightning Sentry fine, which was the purpose, but I wanted to putthem in CB sentry...
Only one unique dropped in these 2 areas, a war sceptre.

Re: Green with Envy II Tournament

ACT V
Started off abit slow travelling through the foothills, saving many barbarians from certain death. They stook with me until shenk anihilated them all. For this i made him eat ice! He died...no greens. However, as soon as i entered Abaddon(spelling?), i hit the first chest and Sander's Superstition pops out :smiley:.

It didn't take too long to fight my way to Baal. Picked up Angelic Halo on the way which was nice to see a ring slot finally filled. Baal was surprising easy. He killed my moron twice but thats all the distraction i needed to inflict fatal damage. He rewarded me on p/8 with all rares.

ACT I NM
Just finished the first quest and am on my way to the plains of cold.
