how far can superdave go? [by superdave]

[Vildecor]

do your full clears include the cow level?

 

[Vildecor]

MALICE :laugh:

Oh man! I think that was the first runeword I ever made way back when runes first came out in v1.09. My Jabazon (!!!) put it in a Maiden Spear and had just enough replenish life to be able to use it without dieing. I eventually turned her into a hybrid.

I hope you go ALL THE WAY!!!☀

i forgot about cows...i will have to do them tonight or tomorrow. :wink3:


sirdoofus....i have another set of malice runes....i hope to fid a pole that does some better damage and is a little faster...if i am lucky that will get me to late NM.

 

[Vildecor]

update...

cows are done the king was nice enough to drop an arcanna's hat...cheapskate.

i found myself getting hit bad by some elemental attacks so i made a prismatic amulet...a cookie for anyone that remembers how to do it.

i also made a couple blood helms for my merc...i think this is the one he is using now...only a little life leech and a small chance at deadly strike but it is better than the rare he had....i made a new malice in a voulge.(still slow but a few more points of damage...i need an el and i will have another malice rune set if i ever find a nice eth exceptional pole)

i have gone as far as the black marsh...countess tomorrow.

Good work so far, I'm hoping hell Baal goes down.

I never actually knew about this before (and I thought I knew everything!):

6 Perfect Gems (1 of each type) + 1 Amulet (Magic) = Prismatic Amulet
Use this formula to create an Amulet with Resistance to all. ilvl = 50. The amulet will always have the Prismatic prefix (All Resistances +16-20) and has a chance at getting a suffix as well.

this is one thing you never want to see when you are doing the countess

you can't see it from the screenshot but there is also a might aura goatman in that mess....my lvl 50 merc with 825 life and 2000 defense was insta-killed...that valk is seriously pumped...she is maxed and heavily synergized...look at her life bar...thank god for decoy.

zomfg-zilla thats scarry:shocked:
especially naked
how long did that take?

 

[Vildecor]

Dude that girl deserves a lot more than dinner and movie.

 

[Vildecor]

update....

nm andariel didn't give up any rings or ammies.

 

[Vildecor]

Goatman in front, archers in back. Fanatic aura on all of them.

That's a nightmare scenario for any HC character.

that's cheating...it's them or me.
i have backed out of a few sticky spots but i won't exit.

 

[Vildecor]

i am doing a single clear only of all areas(not re-running any or if i do have to save and re-run i am only killing the few monsters i have to to get to a new area...everything that drops stays on the ground from re-kills)...whatever monsters spawn, i kill or am killed...my merc is wearing blue armour and hat...i haven't decided what to do about phys immunes yet.

If you're on Ladder, a Harmony Rogue works wonders against PIs, and it's just cheap enough that you *might* be able to afford it without re-running areas. Probably not, but maybe. Otherwise, shop Shocking Bows, or give her anything with good Deadly Strike (which doubles physical *AND* elemental damage on Mercs). Or you could always use an A3 Cold Wolf, which can actually kill in Hell. Eventually.

Merc-swapping is a time-honored practice with deviant characters.

feel free to guess how far i can go with this hardcore zon.

playing single player...players 8
she will be naked or use cracked/damaged/low quality items only.
all passive build.
full clears.
no atma.

right now i am level 8 punching my way to the monestary graveyard....things will go a lot faster when i can *****slap bloodraven and get a rogue.

:brainiac:

 

[Vildecor]

there may come a time when i will swap out the current merc for an act 3 merc to help deal with phys immunes...the plan is to get a might merc tonight to speed up the killing...the might aura will make the valk even better....i debated going with a holy freeze but i think it will be safer to decrease the time that battles take especially with the bosses....it only takes one slip up to deed with those guys.

ps...i would love to make a harmony bow. :wink3:

 

[Vildecor]

update....

NM radament.

If he makes it into Act 5, I say he gets to use a Wirts Leg as a weapon. 2 socket one, too. What should he put in there?

when i did cows i got a 3 socket wirt's leg....i clicked the body and then started to click at the pile of loot...i could swear that i saw a grey leg pop out but when i finished picking everything up it wasn't in my inventory...can you guess where i finally found the leg?

 

[Vildecor]

was it in ur secondary weapon slot??

 

[Vildecor]

it equipped to my primary weapon slot because i have never carried a weapon...it took me a few seconds to figure out that something on my girl look different.
/homer simpson doh!

 

[Vildecor]

Do you think you'll have trouble with NM Duriel Dave?

i think i will have problems just getting to nm duriel...now that i have a pumped valk he may be easier than normal duriel.
