Introducing Matriarch Medusa....
...and Patriarch Necrophobe, my hubby's first Pat... ever. :grin: I've got him into the habit of MFing now and he's loving it! (Standard fishymancer build.)
Just a little background first - this was a character I started about a year ago alongside an amazon but never matted either until I picked up the game again recently. I've patted two characters but this is my first ever Mat away from Bnet... and I started her only because I managed to complete Tal's set. :grin:
The elderly Sorceress sat facing the fire, the back of her chair blocking his view. It irritated him when she ignored him like that. Impatience got the better of him.
"I said.." he started.
"I heard what you said brother and the answer is still no. I'm retired remember? And so should you be. We're too old for this kind of thing."
He wandered around to catch a glimpse of her. It had been a while since the days of Diablo and Baal. Back then they had been both young and foolish... and it had nearly cost them numerous times. He still shuddered when he thought about Fireeye and the Shimmering Portal... though he suspected that her memories were not quite the same as his own. The seemingly innocuous zombies that had attacked them, back when they were barely old enough to remember it. Perhaps she didn't remember it?
He cringed when she peered sideways at him, letting the warmth of the fire leave one side of her face for a moment.
"The years haven't been kind to you, sister."
"You're the one who's spent most of your life staring at the dead, dear brother. You're looking a trifle pale yourself."
"That may be so... but I hear that Baal has returned once again. We have work to do.... or are you going to keep up this endless feud with the daft zombie that guards a now empty temple?"
"Ah... again you amuse me. Aren't you the one who refuses to believe that Nilathak still resides there? You're the one with the feud brother."
"Sister, I see you still have that vendetta against the walking dead... does that old zombie hiding in one of the old rogue's huts still bother you?" He bit his lip, attempting to hide both a smile and the hint of sarcasm.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She muttered as she rose carefully, wishing for a moment that she had a staff to lean on. "I'll just go get my armour on then, shall I?"
He nodded. She remembered alright.

Matriarch Medusa
Level 85 Meteorber
Stats (base): 146 / 139 / 195 / 35
Skills (base): Fireball (20), Meteor (20), FM (9), Fire Bolt (7), Warmth (1)
Static Field, TK, teleport (1 each)
Frozen Orb (20), CM (8)
And the equipment:
Wizardspike and mosers were in switch but never really needed either past level 71. Ran max block also (using Whistan's Guard) until I Matted and began Pindling... . Back up rings were Raven Frost and Dwarf Star as necessary.
Charms: 120/38/14 Gheeds, +1 Fire skills, few small res charms, 2x7% MF and 1x6% MF
Merc was the standard Act 2 HF.
Equipment:
Fairly standard build but my first sorc in years and a lot more fun that I expected it to be - especially playing MP far, far away from Bnet. I just didn't expect to Mat her before the Amazon who is firmly parked en route to the Pits. :laugh:
