"I got the Melee blues" tournament scoreboard if

Nooooo!!!

That was just two lucky hits, dammit! Luck, I tell you! :rant:

I had just figured out that it was possible to bring down the life of this boss with Meteors, using shadows to hold it in place. I was on my way to portal back to town to buy a PMH weapon to make it easier. The boss got into a Frenzy, Cursed us both, killed the shadow, threw himself over Aimee and slayed her in two hits. All in about, uh, 1.4 seconds!

Damn...


This was such an amazing character. I felt I had a very good shot at making Guardian here. I was owning (/players 3) Act 3 up to this. Small leechable creatures that were mostly lightning immune (which is the easiest immunity of 'the big four' for this character to handle). The merc could pretty much make progress by himself, if I assisted with CoS and occasional Meteors against the boss packs.

jiansonz and Wayne:

RIP to both your characters. I thought for sure both of you guys were going to make Guardian.

AllBlues the Druid is still alive. The Gifts from Above tourney slowed his progress somewhat, but I'm going to focus exclusively on him now because the tourney ends in little more than a week.

I made progress in the last few days, completing Act 4, killing Diablo, and getting AllBlues all the way to the Arreat Plateau WP in Act 5 Hell. I got lucky (again) because the Plains of Despair in Act 4 did not have any Gloams...that means I have STILL not encountered any. I doubt I can avoid them in the ice caves of Act 5, though.

No gear changes to report, though I've been rolling and rerolling a Champion Axe, hoping for something good...nothing yet. I used the Larzuk socketing quest on my Sharktooth Armor...got one socket...stuck a Jewel of Fervor in there.

My next character and score update will either be a Guardian post (my first!) or...heaven forbid...my death post. Here's hoping I make it!
 
Alas, jiansonz! But a gosh darn good run.

GL to all those still standing! Only a week and a half left.
 
Tough break, but excellent run! RIP Aimee.

You know, you kinda inspired me to start my very own PS sin. She found a gull right at the start (and i rarely find uniques till act 3 or so) and now she uses it instead of her claws. shes lvl 17 atm. Shes untwinked, SC, but can use whatever items she finds (she doesnt play melee blues).

any pointers? and id like to hear what your final stats/items were like, just out of interest.

well done!

Also, i should add, ive retired my Melee Blues pally, i just didnt find him too interesting to play, considering i already had a high level HF pally anyway. so i guess im withdrawing from the comp...not that i was in a strong position or anything.
 
R.I.P. Aimee. That was a tough break.

I’m back from vacation, so Bluemoon is on the trail again. Over the weekend he passed through the rest of Act 1 and into Act 2. Griswold was physical and poison immune, the first one so far, and so we left Tristram quickly after releasing Cain. Andariel dropped garbage (a rare flail and three chipped gems), but during the act I gambled a Communal Amulet of the Fox! Sweet!

In Act 2 things have started out tough. Hard to say which will happen first: the tournament timer will run out or I will see the deeds screen. Resurrecting undead are a pain for a poison-based character. For example, we made it down to Radament only to find he had two undead boss packs in the room with him. Their mods included extra fast, conviction, and blessed aim. After about half an hour they were still putting up a fight and I was tired, so I left him there for another day. I even bought a wand with Lower Resistance charges on it to try and help speed things up, only to discover that it can’t be used when Bluemoon is in shifted form. We’ll give it another go tonight…

Conqueror Bluemoon, rabid wolf.

Act 2 Hell. Next stop: Radament
 
I said my next post here would be a Deeds or Guardian post, and that is indeed the case. So, which one is it? Read on to find out.

AllBlues ventured forth from the Arreat Summit WP, and had, for the most part, no problems getting into the Ice Caves and rescuing Anya. Again, he got lucky and didn't draw Gloams in the Frozen River (I swear I didn't reroll the monsters at all); instead, there were witches, undead warriors, and I think leapers. Had one NDE when I cursed by a witch and charged by an undead warrior who may have been extra strong -- the attack took off 7/8 of my life, and I was very careful around undead warriors afterwards.

With Anya rescued, I reaped the rewards of increased resistances, and accepted her challenge of a new quest and a new enemy to kill: Niliathak. After getting past Pindle, I was greatly challenged by the monsters in the Halls...there were spike fiends, cantors/zakarumites, and flayers. Did I mention that poison/cold are AllBlues's greatest weaknesses by far? Yikes. I fought my way through the Halls, letting my merc do most of the actual killing, resummoning my bear constantly as a wall between me and the enemies. I must have gone through 40 town portal scrolls (for thawing and healing potions, mostly), but I eventually got the HoP WP and found the stairs to the Halls of Vaught. I went down the stairs and was greeted by a horrible sight. There were at least 20 cold archers/flayers waiting for me in three separate packs, and as I attacked them I woke up some phys immune ghosts who started heading towards me. I ran back upstairs and decided to reroll the monsters. Next trip down there I got cold archers, ethereal apes, and...bugged vipers. However, I found that I could handle the vipers if I kept them constantly stunned with Shockwave. Most of the time they seemed to attack my bear instead of my merc, which bought me valuable time to get close enough to Shockwave them and let my merc do the killing. Still, my strategy wasn't perfect, and my merc died a few times.

I found Niliathak on the second wing I looked in. What followed was one of the toughest battles I have ever waged in D2. He spawned Cursed, which complemented his Corpse Explosion nicely. :rolleyes: Along with the ice spawns, there were also five or so cold archers hanging out in Nilathak's chamber. They were troublesome, and I decided to kill them first. However, because of my need to distance myself from the main battle (fearing CE), and my merc's annoying habit of constantly turning to attack Ice Spawns, it took at least 20 TP's to kill all the archers. During this, Nilly single-hit killed my entire party (except me) more than once. Once the archers fell, however, things got easier, and I resorted to the tactic of getting cheap hits on Nilly and TPing out as soon as my party killed an Ice Spawn. When I TP'ed back in, the body would be gone. Nilly eventually fell.

After Nilly died, I celebrated; I thought my troubles were over until Ancients. But I was wrong. (You probably know how the story ends by now). I proceeded through Act 5, getting all WPs, until I got to Ancients' Way. There were dark spearwomen, cold mages, and spike fiends. I was proceeding along nicely when I ran into a spike fiend boss pack backed up by cold mages about half a screen away. The spike fiends had some nasty mods and their poison HURT. So I ran away from them and started working on the cold mages, when in runs an Blessed Aim/Mana Burn spearwoman boss pack. They manage to kill my merc and summons, who had been weakened by the cold mage fight, and b/c of Mana Burn I am unable to resummon or stun them. For some reason I decided to run away instead of TPing out right away (I think I wanted to make sure I could go thru the TP before I cast it), and my only escape route was through the spike fiend boss pack. So I started running...straight into the boss pack. As I ran through the pack I watched my life slowly drop as each poisoned spike hit me. I had no purples left, and the reds were insufficient to overcome the poison damage. I made it out of the spike fiend pack, but I had less than 100 life left. I cast a TP and was about to go through it when...in runs the spearwoman boss...who kills me with a single hit.

I took a screenie. It's really quite sad. My TP is up and AllBlues's dead body is lying next to it, with a single boss spearwoman standing over my corpse. Darn. I really thought I had it this time, too.

AllBlues (RIP)

RIP AllBlues! What a tragic (but exciting) ending...

Those spearwomen seem to fly in from off-screen. And their jab attack almost always ensures they'll score a quick hit or two. Not to mention Blessed Aim helping her cause!

Excellent run azn :thumbsup: You've earned first place. Definitely had Guardian potential. Good luck on your next try, and thanks for avenging my Indigo.
 
R.I.P. AllBlues.

Those were some intense moments there! In Hell, I never dare to give Nihlathak any chance of seeing a corpse. I know that he´s been heavily nerfed since 1.09, but old habits die hard. I usually take off the weapon from the merc in the penultimate quadrant of the level, and get him/her killed. I let the Nihlathak situation take hours if needed, to make sure that everything is lured out of his chamber and he never sees a corpse, before I start to attack him. Yes, even archers can be lured out if you stand between their firing distance and their awareness distance.


Seems the death was the result of many combined factors. If you had lured the cold mages to you (where you came from) from the start, instead of moving over to them, you could probably have killed the Spike Fiends before those Spearwomen had even noticed you.

Looks like you will win. A well deserved victory. :clap:

Too bad none of us made Guardian, but there were two players making progress in the final act. Myself, I take pride in having reached the highest character level. :D
 
R.I.P. AllBlues.

That sounds like too many HC deaths: you were so vigilant during the Nihlathak battle, then get caught by surprise elsewhere. Most people seem to treat poison resistance as the least important, but without a safe place to fall back to poison can quickly leave you utterly helpless.

You’ve definitely got first place, but Bluemoon isn’t dead yet! I managed to get him past Radament on my second try. Radament had two boss packs with him again, but I was able to lure them all out of resurrection range and dispatch them before going back for the big guy. After that the desert levels were quick and easy. The Maggot Lair wasn’t even too bad.

The next trouble spot for us was the Viper Temple. Loads of poison immune embalmed were slow to lure away from the guardians, and just as slow to kill once they were alone. Since I also explored every blind alley in the temple before finding the stairs, the process took almost two hours. I was nervous heading down to meet Fangskin, since he was the end of my “rare pleasure†character. I moved into his chamber a step at a time, trying to minimize the number of opponents. There was a second LE viper boss in there, but luckily they don’t have any poison resistance. Twice things turned so ugly that I dashed forward, opened a TP, and trekked back from the Lost City WP. But eventually the room was clear and we headed back to town.

Now we’re exploring the Arcane Sanctuary. The first three arms were false trails, so The Summoner will have to wait until next time. It takes a while to whittle down the PI specters, especially since Mizan is taking a dirt nap for most of this level. (His repeated funeral costs were becoming a pain.)

Only one week left! I’m striving to break into the top five, even though that means displacing jiansonz. :(

Go Bluemoon! :clap:

I hope you continue even after the deadline if he is still alive by then.

(btw, I don´t think two hours is long for the CVT, especially not if there are a lot of Guardian/Bone Warrior packs).
 
Thanks for all the condolences, everyone.

Good luck Bluemoon! I'm hoping you can make Guardian, even if it does take until after the tourney end date.
 
I really figured that taking a 3 week break from this would throw me completely out of the running but since I'm still in the top ten I think I'll make a run at the top in the last week.

Still sitting in the beginning of NM thanks to the vacation at the beach but here I come again.

Lost my Bnet amazon the last time I tried HC so I need to remember to be more careful.
 
I might as well be out of the tourney... This character isn't good enough to take on hell. I can't touch blood raven, the screen gets filled with 300+ zombies! I never died but am calling it quits.
Experimental:

It was a fun tourney, just can't do enough dmg to kill anything anymore!
 
Thanks for the support. I’ll keep the character going as long as he can handle it, although I want to get back to my “all alone†tourney entry as well. I doubt my luck will hold through Guardian, especially since Hell Ancients scare the crap out of me.

Yesterday Bluemoon breezed by the Summoner. We never even got close to him – by the time I was done furying the Hell Clan out of the way he was already a pile of robes. I just love the way rabies spreads through crowds! The tombs were another slow lure and kill performance, then Duriel was an easy battle.

Before stopping for the night I just had to pop out into the jungle and retrieve the jade figurine. With those quick two points I can now say I am in the top five. Yeah! :yep:

I'm so glad to see a Rabid wolf kicking so much can. Anyhow, when is the next hc tourney running? And is it west or east? Besides that I have one quick question about your rabid wolf...maybe not one question but...

Where are your points located and what equip are you using? if you don't mind me asking. Cause I've built a rabies wolf many times, I recently returned to Diablo to here that the bug is gone from the ring with 21 to psn creeper. So this means straight build for the wolf. Also I was wondering something, I was reading up and I was unaware that you don't need a finishing move like Fury for the Rabid wolf...cause psn from rabies can kill. Also, I'mma sound like a huge noob...but is it true that ethereal doesn't get dmg while in form..because I'm pretty sure it does but I could be wrong. I use to be quite the dueler back in 1.09...but times have changed and I'm a big hc player coming back for 1.11.
So after this blurb, I would appreciate the assistance. Thanks.

Again kudos for the progress and good luck.
:D
 
Thanks, and welcome to the SPF! My build is straightforward: 20 points each in lycanthropy, rabies, and poison creeper. Remaining points are split between Dire Wolf and Oak Sage (10+ each). The wolves are to act as meat shields and for style points. (Even a rabid wolf has gotta run with a pack, you know!)

For equipment +skills are a must to boost poison damage. This character has a Communal Amulet of the Fox, Hierophant’s Alpha Helm, and Shaman’s club. The rest of his equipment was chosen to keep resists at positive levels. I have one point in fury and a Cruel War Scythe of Measure on weapon switch to use once the poison is started.

Speaking of equipment, over the weekend Bluemoon turned up the unique cudgel Fleshrender in the Flayer Jungle. Wah! That would have been a sweet addition, if only Bluemoon could have used it. There were a few purple potion panics in the Great Marsh due to surprise attacks by gloams, but we made it up to Lower Kurast. I had to leave Khalim's Brain for another session, though. There was a stair trap with two Dark Shape boss packs on level 2 of the Flayer Dungeon, and I just couldn’t work my way through them fast enough. I’ll see if something more manageable spawns tonight. On the other hand, the Gidbinn shrine called forth exactly one Rat Man. Now that’s underwhelming!

Conqueror Bluemoon, rabid wolf.
clvl 77 score: 166
Act 3 Hell. Next stop: Kurast Bazaar
 
Bluemoon is now relaxing in the Pandemonium Fortress. When I got to Travincal I realized I had neglected to pick up Khalim’s heart, so I had to backtrack a bit. As usual, the sewers required >90% exploration before I found the stairs. Luckily the sewers also have lots of choke points, so I never got overrun by Preserved Dead or Undead Soulkillers (Dolls are strictly Mizan’s job in Hell: "you’re doing a great job there, buddy! I’m behind you all the way!") On the other hand, the Durance map had the level 3 stairs one room away from the WP. Too bad I don’t plan on doing any runs.

I did have one disappointment before facing Mephisto. I had almost two dozen full rejuvs sitting on the ground in town in preparation, but they had disappeared by the time I was ready to use them. I therefore dealt with him using mostly supers, with only two full rejuv panic gulps. Shortly before I had gambled a Communal spiked club, so now Bluemoon’s rabies bite does 10K damage (12K when he hits a skill shrine). Even Meph’s 75% poison resistance can’t stand up to that for too long.

I don’t expect to have any playing time tonight, so this is probably my final score. It’s been great fun, and I’ll post here if Bluemoon makes any "post-season" progress. Thanks for the tournament, skunkbelly! :thumbsup:
