KTA - Team SPEED - starting now!

so hi all,

as announced here our new KTA thread, where we begin a new KTA round and quest to finish the game again.

the theme of this round will be SPEED
and with that we do not mean characters that can move around very fast (aldough they are free to do so if they can), no we mean we hit very fast! so the aim of the team is to get as many hits in, in as short a timeframe as possible. in the case of this team and hitting things... its all about kwantity, forget kwality. hitting hard is not important, its hitting as often as possible that counts! :grin:

a few suggestions of the type of builds very well suited to this kind of play: any zealot, a kicksin, frenzybarb, WW barb, furywolf, blade fury sin, strafer, fendazon/jabbazon. also, not inmediatly banned from play could be a bone necro or fire ball sorc with tons of FCR. but i ask you all to be creative, suggest and play whatever build you think fits the theme well.

theme specific rules:
- aim for as much IAS or FCR as possible, when choosing between more dmg or more hits...the obvious choise is more hits, even if that means (slightly) less total damage output
- timered spells or skills are totaly banned!

so... starting up:
i suggest everyone willing to join in this round states so in this thread, also stating what type of build they would be going for. of cource current members have first priority, then come old KTA members... but if there is space left over anyone is free to join the ranks as long as they play the KTA style.

for those who dont know us (well) the rules of KTA, as we play:
- Hardcore
- EU realm
- UNtwinked
- from act 1 normal to act 5 hell (if we make it) using no boosting, and playing the game as the makers intended it to be played.
- we are all nice people, no swearing, offensive talk, etc. etc. no noobish behavior.
- and the moost important rule of m all.... we have fun... TONS of fun!

our motto for this round will be: SLAP 'm SILLY and i am allready looking forward to seeing baal in his throne room being hit over 30 times a second :thumbsup:

KILL THEM ALL!

<May be interested, Even if I lag worse there on dial up =[

But it'll be fun :D When do you guys play? Is it in one sitting or like every saturday etc?
 
It's a weekly sitting on Monday evening. (that would make it like Tuesday early in the AM for you I guess)

Which gets me thinking by the way... Isn't there going to be a shift for either the islanders or the mainlanders when daylight saving changes are going to take place somewhere soon?
 
dont we have daylight saving time in all of europe then?

our normal playing times are monday evenings from 20:00 till 22:00 and that is paris/amsterdam time.
 
Aha Tika! What a splendid idea. Just posted on the old thread too.

For me I would like to go for the Furysin, with added Venom and Death Sentry.

Need to think of a suitable name.

Hi guys,
was nice chatting etc in channel, even if the circumstances were as they were.

Unfortunately, I'm still doing my evening class then, so I'll officially bow out now, making a slot available.

ps - please (PLEASE) try and last a little longer this time, eh? I had hoped that my course would be finished before the next session started :-)
 
kick sin is pretty viable... and helleluha fast as well :cool:

guys... i need your help on deciding a build... i am thinking severly on going the smite route... and first i was thinking to make it with an elemental dmg aura... but according to the areath summit that wont work. so i am now thinking of a fana smiter... will that be any good? (it will be fast... with a good weapon... actualy just a fast weapon... i should be able to hit at 6 frames) (max smite, max holy shield, max fana, rest of the points could be used for a 2th attack skill... but actualy i dont want that... i want full out smite... but for that it will have to work)

But... how in hell can smite be of any use PvM Untwinked? (lets assume we wont find to much crushing blow gear) the dmg will be pretty poor to say the least... and no way to improve it that i can find... suggestions?
same goes for survivability... cant steal life OR mana... so how to stay alive?

need your suggestions and help with this guys!
 
And yes I'm in from the word go again! No chance of me being out! ;-D

I'll do a druid build of some sort - go do some reading now! And will report back.

Name - KTA_PawsForIvan

cb no problem, crafting + runeword + uniques. Thing is if your going smite I wont go kicker.



 
Ivan: you should try a fury wolf... they are pretty fast :thumbsup:

tartanasia: and why is that then? in what way do these 2 exclude eachother?
 
hmm... that need for CB is kinda true.

however: i have tested Smite a bit more on my current pala... and i have to say... even in the 10 minuts i played it, it already got boring as hell. so with that i have decided against my plan for a smiter.

you can go the kicker build... aldough i DO like the plan for the novatank... sounds funny, effective and original. i would love to see one of those in the team! it your choise... make it your call.

then for my build... atm i am leaning heavily towards a wirlwind barb. its been ages since i played one of those... but i remember them to be lots of fun. the only other option i have left that apeals me atm is a fendazon... but i hate the bugs involved with that build and the fact that if you want it to work probably you can't use dodge, evade etc. and will never get a valk. so for the moment i am aasigning myselve the WW Barb... and his name will be KTA-WindMill :grin:
i am doing some studying on wether he will be 1 or 2 handed etc, but there is no hurry there. (might even do both on the 2 switches) BO will be included for sure!

last thing... as for naming our caracters: lets use - instead of _ i think it looks much prettyer with the minus sign.

if i am counting right we have so far:
KTA-HyperDoll tartanasia nova sorc
KTA-PawsForIvan Crazyivan fury wolf
KTA-Windmill Tika WW-barb
KTA-Gatlerette oOmpie strafer
KTA-SpinnyWiz Drinkturps blade fury assa
KTA- ?????? Squiggle ???????

so still at least 2 more spots open atm.

did anyone hear anything from MrKaxe? for the moment i wanna reserve a spot for him for sure.

Am i forgetting someone who should defenetly included?

as for my build: i have decided on a WW-Barb. with a 1 hander, a shield, max block... so a good tank. i will be going for a 4 frame WW for sure.

as for the other builds... i think the team is forming up nicely, what i miss so far is a zeal pala. specialy a cold 1 could be of much use in the defensive way... otherwise a fana 1 sounds good as for IAS. light zeal aint a good choise since we have light dmg already bu no other elements.

then for the record... i will be away from tomorrow till sunday evening... so cant poost for some days.

so far so good.
