KTA - Team SPEED - starting now!
- Thread starter Tikadea
- Start date
i did a few countess runs yesterday (some 4 or 5) but the rewards of the lady herselve were quite poor. 1 time she dropped ort + ort + ral, and another time a ral... other then that only a bunch of el's and eld's :undecided:
however... in the last run the boss in the chamber before her did drop me a nice sheal :thumbsup:
seems to me we can at least make a rhyme now... for whoever needs it (wasn't our fireclaw bear still looking for a nice blocking shield?

Band Practice wasn't on as our singer has 'da lurgie' so i spent the night in a rare-as-rockinghorse-excrement Hell Baalrun set...got my IK Barb from very late 86 to 88 and I was in for 30+ runs with 80% of them 8-player so I feel sorry for the 97 sorc who's exp must have been just chugging along!
No-one shouted my main account (from KTA that is!) so I figured you didn't need me

Gem cubing? driiiinkturps... :grin:
Anyhoo, wail on Trav Council and they will drop you one, maybe some more Sigs parts to use eh?! :thumbsup:
Ahoj Futo,
I play that fireclaw bear. Frankly I'm irritated that we would have a third shapeshifting druid on the team. But petty I-don't-want-to-share-my-toys thinking didn't prevent us from being mostly melee and all weapon reliant.
So I say, if you really want to be a fireclaws bear and consider it a stronger build than a fireclaws wolf, then you might as well play that. In terms of speed, a wolf will always attack one frame slower than a bear, at least once you move into the faster weapons.
If you want to start him/her today, I'll be online as *Blum7 ready to give you a hand or play along with some char.
*edit: haha do as you please man, obviously wrote this before your edit

Well, been doing countess runs like a mf all morning (which is a slow and painful process with my character, I can assure you) and I have good news and bad news.
Bad news being the countess dropped jack **** and jack left town...
The good news being on my way to her vileness I actually found some decent stuff. A soulflay for my merc, some shimmering amulets and a Sol and a Shael from coffins in the tower and some other gear that I will drop on the floor tomorrow to see if it is of any use for you guys.
Sol is waiting to be insighted, but when I found the Shael I ran off to Larzuk and jammed it in my Rogue's bow :badteeth:
70% IAS strafing hurray... I hardly do any damage at all, so I might try and do some more countess slapping to get me another Sol to upgrade that bow, but I sure do knock back lots of monsters real fast
So far, so good... gonna get me some chow, cheerio!

AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, awesomeness 
I kept doing some Countess runs to get me that Sol to upgrade my bow.
While the Countess stayed true to gerself and kept dropping me El's and Eld's like it ain't no thing I did have quite a nice evening.
After a couple of runs (which netted me But... I found me a pair of Infernostrides and some spunky runes (Dol, Amn, Thul)...).
After acouple runs Nest joined in on the fun. Together we had all the ingredients for an Insight so we rolled it... a whopping 12-er :/
All of a sudden a uniqe ring drops, Nest speaks the immortal words: "gimme soj *cough*"
I id'ed it... and started rolling on the floor laughing... A fricking SoJ it was... How is that for payback, huh, you greedy skanky countess wench? Both of us had never found one :badteeth:
Gave it to Nest since he was Oaking us. Should prolly go to our team BO-supplier or our Oak-supplier tomorrow.
Cheerio!

man... a SOJ!?!?!?!
in all my years of playing i have only ever found 1 of those... and that is a very... very long time ago. grats on this very VERY nice find guys!
i am a bit in doubt where it would be put to best use. my first reaction was that i would like it a lot... since the skill would add to BO and the mana is still in bad need as well here. but then i thought about the insight... which would solve my mana problem... (but then again... it will for everyone i think).
in the end i think the skill will be in best use with the warcrying stuff... not only giving extra life to the team... but also mana and defence. and the big advantage over oak is that BO cant die in the middle of a nasty bossfight.
i think we should discuss this matter tonight to see whats the best solution.
question: where is the best place to shop for warcry spears?
cya tonight all!

Gulity as charged, your honour. It's on the gems mule.
A SoJ. Never found one, ever. Super find.
Should be good for tonight. I'll know more if I'm on round about lunch today.

Pics or it's not true! :wink3:
As Tika said, Oak can die and BO can't and as he's very short on mana for WW the SoJ will stabilize his mana consumption...I have a +3 Oak buff hat that Nest gave me so it's all good...well done on the finds there you two!
Rogue's Bow is the fastest unique bow in the game but when you upgrade it it gets slower! Your rune-finds though dude so it's your call if you upgrade it, or did you already?! It's a good bow for fast delivery of FA but as you are a strafer we can hope a Goldstrike Arch (a NM dropper!) drops sometime soon or better!
Ready as always for tonight!

well... as for mana... i sure hope that insight will solve that problem once and for all... actualy i hope i wont even need mana steal... as that would free up the ring slot for the SOJ.
actualy with insight and that soj i think the first thing that should be dumped is my armor... with + 72 to mana in it (and thats it). i am going to need it for resists in hell for sure so i am happy!
cya tonight all!

Well an update...........
My PC install took 12 hours Sunday and its still not finished - put everything together (outside of case) and no POST..... nuts!!
So i had to strip it to bits and test each part - 4 hour delay. Its now has windows back on it - but I just got it into its case last night - not turned it on yet, praying to god it works tonight - if it does - I then need to install all my drivers then Diablo 2 on it to be ready. If its totally not working - then I'll have to bring back the Pentium II!
Either way I'm on tonight but I am most likely late!
Its been hard (especially the dust cleaning) but its looking damn fine if I say so myself. I am now at 7 internal HDD's!
Congrats on the SOJ - I think they are make believe! ;-D

No it doesn't.. where'd you get that from? Anyways I hope you find a better bow too so I can call dibs on your current one.
I didn't dare to pay the countess any more visits for fear of losing my precious. That's what a SoJ does to you...
i looked it up... and the bow doesn't get slower indeed... so upgrade that thing the moment you can!
it will never get huge dmg however... but i think we should slap some good elemental dmg charms etc on you... together with a bit of CB and it will work just fine. if we add on a bit of crowd contol on the form of knock-back, slow or cold dmg things get just that more interesting.
in the end its not about killing fast... its about killing safe and having fun.
