Awwwwww, schnikeys. The Slasher is dead :-( I was trading damage with an extra-fast/extra-strong Shaman while my Merc worked on his buddies, and just as the Shaman was about to die, I got blindsided by one of the little guys! Shoulda drank the purple instead of the red, but I didn't expect the extra company.

I suppose I got a bit cocky. With the Bonesnap in my hand, Act1 p8 Nightmare creatures were falling real quick+easy-like. A crafted belt was giving mana leech, so I could drain my mana with WarCry (loved that skill) and then Conc away to get the mana back. WarCry had some great tactical uses, able to stun revivees so I could run ahead to kill the revivers (shaman, unravellers, etc). Definitely a part of any future barb builds of mine.

My Prayer merc had two pieces of Sigon's for great AR, 10% leech and some thornies, and an ethereal Malice halberd.

I avoided re-runs of the Countess as there were 10 (yeesh) boss packs located in unavoidable between-stairway paths.

In retrospect, I really REALLY should have cranked down the players setting. I didn't need any more super-drops, was all set for equipment, and simply should have been running through the game to pick up easy tourney points. I was probably 15-20 minutes away from getting a HF merc which would have saved me from that death.

Good luck to everyone else! I'm going to take a few minutes to think and then post the requirements for my re-birth in this sweeeet tournament.

FoghornLeghorn · Feb 21, 2006

Okay, I'm torn between two characters. I either want a scepter-wielding Paladin (3-1-1 featuring combat skills) or a bow-wielding Amazon (3 bows / 2 passive).

Whoever volunteers can roll to see which I'm playing, first :-D

Hamburger · Feb 21, 2006

You also want a roll to decide your char? Did I understand correctly?

Actually, scratch it all. I'm going for a Necromancer (only one other in the tourney? sheesh)...with 3 PB/2 curses.

DementiaMaster · Feb 21, 2006

Necromancers are slow killers. Mine's a golemancer and he's so damn slow that I didn't even start him yet, I'd rather test a golemancer prototype first. And I've got my Diva to Mat.

FoghornLeghorn · Feb 21, 2006

True, but I'd like to try a melee-mancer type just to see what it would take to get an enjoyable one. I'd have gone 3-1-1, but just one summon skill won't do much.

Ooh, I forgot the weapon part. Gimme a sec. Definitely want to go one-handed, but I'd like to deal some damage with it.

FoghornLeghorn · Feb 21, 2006

Argh. Too many crummy-looking possibilities to go axe/sword/mace, leaving me with wands or throwables. Throwables get very dex-intensive, which isn't very attractive given the block rates of heads.

Wands, I guess. Here's hoping I get one with some nice +elemental damage!

Hamburger · Feb 21, 2006

I pretty much rolled all your equipment till I realised that you hadn't chose a wepon.....so I saved it and here goes everything:

Equipment
Plated Belt
Heavy Boots
Chain Gloves
Plate Mail
Bone Helm(seems appropiate!)
Buckler
Bone Wand
Unraveller Head

Skills
Bone Armor
Poison Dagger
Bone Spirit
Iron Maiden
Confuse

Stat
Vitality

I think Poison Dagger qualifies as a useless skill (since he's using wands), and ought to be re-rolled.

TADA!

Bone Prison is your replacement skill, if you want it.

Heh, the bone helm should look good. That's some heavy equipment involved, and it'll take a while to get some, but I can suck it up and invest STR. I most certainly CAN'T use PDagger, and Armor/Spirit don't synergize...

So, re-roll the skills please!

FoghornLeghorn · Feb 21, 2006

Oooh, hold on a sec...

He's right!
Sorry!
Consider your skills to be the same but Bone Prison > Pdagger
Still want to reroll skills?

FoghornLeghorn · Feb 21, 2006

Prison/Spirit/IM sounds like a "tactic" (even if it is slow), and w/ Armor there are synergies involved.

I'll keep that, and keep vitality. Let's get some new equipment, and see if I can't avoid some of the STR issues.

Heh - I probably shouldn't have changed. Less potions in belt, weaker wand+head, and excessive armor (125str to go exceptional). Only plus is that Gothic is medium...+5% FRW

Thanks for setting up my character!

I'll start him up when I get home.

DementiaMaster · Feb 21, 2006

I just noticed I have an Necromancer ready to being his quest on the table but I can't seem to find his stats and stuff. Can anyone help? Else, just reroll 3 summoning 2 curse with Wand.

orocrama · Feb 21, 2006

I'd like to join.
I'll be an assasin.
please roll me 3-2 traps, shadow
any other info you all need to role?

also can you continue to restart chars if yours dies?

Edit: weapon=swords as I get claws as class items
