Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?
Count Borasasi has defeated Diablo. For all my trepidation, it was a cakewalk. I ran Meph and the Council and the Durrance a few times to improve levels and gear, and I had the good fortune for his first unique drop the whole game to be Gravenspine. Some reasonable council drops but nothing too impressive- mostly his gear is now gambled as his gold coffers were overflowing. I mis-remembered and thought that level 30 was where the stash gold increased from 200k to 800k-ish, so there was a lot of gold I'd left on the ground that needed to be gambled. Better gloves, boots and belt were the result, though nothing impressive. He's still wearing a chipped-skulled skullcap from A1 back when mana and life regen were much more important so I've had my eyes out for improvement there.
Stepping out of the Pandemonium fortress with weak Clay Golem and a shopped +1 Bone Spear wand was done at players 1 and was no problem. Getting an army going is a big problem in A4, usually, and I wanted to do the whole act in one go and couldn't linger much. I had a huge stack of blues because I think of BS as a mana hog, but at skill level one mana is not as much of a problem! A Venom Lord died, then soon an army was raised and the player count was back at 8 until the River of Flame WP. I left a lot of corpses around (to come back for in case my army was totally wiped out) but I never needed to return. The CS was done on /players 1 and I didn't lose a single skellie to IM or any of the seal bosses or Diablo, so clearly I was being over-cautious there. But I'll be happy to move on to NM at this point.
