KTA - Team SPEED - starting now!

as for mini-twinkage i think you are runing a bit ahead of the train... last thing i remember of this session is that we were seriously and totaly OWNING the places and slapping all baddys faster then they can say "AAAAAUUUUCH"

IF need be we will discuss stuff like this later on... but things like crushing blow etc will help as well. and also some characters aint relying on their weapons for dmg at all... fire claws and holy freeze dmg even with bare fists.

With all due respect Leader...JEEZ!!

It's fine to think ahead as I know we aren't even in Hell yet! All I was saying is I have my plan if and when we have to twink as by the time we hit Hell we nearly always have to!
It's all well and good for Ivan and Nest but me and you are item-dependant and know the score from experience so tunes will change when we hit Hell...

Good show dude! London is only useful for that...oh, shopping, but i'm no chick!!

I'll be on as soon as I can be bothered :prop:



 
morning all!

yet again we had a pleasant evening yesterday... rockin and rolling true the rest of act 3, whole of act 4 and a part of act 5. things went smooth... and still pretty fast as well (aldough killing did start to slow down a tiny little bit later on... still quite fast dough).

i can remember 2 scary moments. the first being against the council (where 2 of them were FE). i think it was our fireclaw bear who went deeply into the red in his lifebar. the second was in act 4 on those plains.. where i think it was our other druid who got surrounded and had to drink for his life... he did look a bit purple for the rest of the evening dough... otherwise no harm done.

we managed to to 2 hellforges, the first brought sol (wich was turned into our second insight later that evening. it rolled lvl 13, (wich i think is higher then the 1 on our prayer merc?) if so... help me remember to chance it next week). the second brought lem... and more gems then it should have done. that was because it was forgotten to unparty before the stone was crushed, so the quest of all was done in once. it was a mistake ofcource, but stuff like that can happen in the heath of play... (actualy i know how you felt... having done the very same thing in an earlyer KTA waaaay BACK). i shouldnt have called you an idiot for that m8, sorry for that. i guess stuff like that happens as well in the heath of play... :undecided:

somewhere in the plains before you go to find Anya in act 5 2 had to leave... and the others decided to quickly go and rescue Anya (so our assa could go shopping for claws). on our way there i found a pretty nice 2 handed sword...wich turned out eth as well... i think someones act 5 merc will love the dmg and 50% ias on it. (does someone got 1 of those mercs?). anyways... its resting in my stash... just ask for it next week.

find of the evening would be the LUM that dropped... wich will turn in a nice armor very soon. i cant remember any other great finds.. am i missing any?

well.. thats it guys... i had plenty of fun again and i hope you had to!

Tika

p.s. on the twinking issue: you make it sound like we twinked moost of the KTA sessions... wich may be true for the last few... but certainly not for the early series... it can certainly be done without it! However... if for fun reasons certain twinkage is needed it wont be me to stop that. (on a side note: moost likely that would be weapons for the weapon dependant chars... and i dont even have anything to twink with as i have no better weapon in any mule then bloodletter. :thumbsup: )

Other way round dude, I decided to see what would happen to my 2510 life if I tanked the FE and it went to 233 i think...Health pots wouldn't bring it back up! I was watching Nest's life in the Outer Plains when it all of a sudden dropped...I thought he was lagging but when you lot asked him there was no need for me to type! (I would have helped but I was miles away!)

I'm very sorry for the mistake, we could have had many Treacherys and Smokes but I boneheaded! I can donate runes if the party feels they got robbed...

If the Charged Boltress does make an appearance shall I jack my Act 3 Merc in? It was a novel idea but I can't help but feel it's pissing everyone off...

Think that was my wording...

All I was saying is I have my plan if/when we have to twink as by the time we hit Hell we nearly always have to!

Thats a bit better! (EDIT: No it's not as it's all in italic in a quote! Duh! BOLD the NEARLY!)
I do agree Tika we really can do it without, as we are demonstrating now and bar the few slipups we have sometimes we will be in no danger of dying per se, just very slow killing! That's no big deal though (superdave's zon...) and of course, if twinking is needed i'm more than happy to dontate what I can...e.g...you have gone the sword route Tika so for style points (and non-cookie-cutter-ness!) I have the Bul Kathos Colossus Blade...a nice, fast whirl with CB and bluey-black looking...cooool! :thumbsup:
Ribby might be a bit overtwinky so i'd use something like Fleshrender, unique Barbed Club, 'turps can have a Bartuc's etc etc...
When we are in Act 5 Hell we will find out by then!

Go Go Army Ants!



 
My merc is an A5 baba, so I might consider using that sword.

His current has life steal though, so we'll see how the switch turns out.
 
I finally have got rid of milbrega's rod.........wow i can actually do some damage!

Sorry for being late everyone - real world traffic sadly.... was super fun too!

Should be on tonight if boosts or general play are called for!
 
@MrKaxe: stuff happens... nuf said.. all over now. also repaying runes or whatever is not needed (for me at least) and if the need to mule in comes.. well who knows what you can bring in :grin:

about the bull catos sword... i would have to plan quite a bit ahead for that... as it requires a LOT of str to equip... i would have to save about 80~100 str up before we decide... i will start doing that right away... can always later spent them on vita. i DO have a 15-req juwel with some tiny other mods on my WW barb... that would lower it a bit... but would take away the sheal (for faster hits). actualy for the requirements it would be quite a bad choise... (otherwise its great)... but there are many more options that someone might have laying around that would work (djin slayer, bloodmoon, lightsabre, frostwind, .... hell... even headstriker or plaguebearer would work)
BTW... does knockback work with WW? (if so we are in for some good laughs :laugh: )

@ivan: i am glad you are happy with the ginters... it suits you more then it does to me! good luck with it. (what is the dmg you do per hit now? there should be quite some cold dmg added as well right?)

@oOmpie: its the crainte vomir that i found... ETH. it will do OK dmg... but more important... has 50% ias, has 10% dmg reduction and slows target by 35%... seems like THE perfect merc sword... and since we got AMN's by the dozens... a soccet and the lifeleach problem would be gone as well.
 
Hmm yeah dude, 110 Dex and 189 Str is a bit much...style costs in games as well as real life!

Damn! I chucked a pair of Bloodmoon's last night!

I will be first-drop running Hell Meph this week and I might as well run Andy Hell as I glitched the cowbag (IK Barb will do Council, Pindle, Shenk & Eldritch to perm game!) and I will stockpile non-cookie-cutter weapons/items for KTA use...juuuuuuuuuuuust incase! :thumbsup:
 
Good stuff yesterday. Big D was a push over. Managed to shop a nice pair of +2 skills claws for a nice prebuff for my Venom, Shadow and Fade.:jig:

We've got a load of gems now. I'll post up the latest stash this evening. GC rolling will be good. May need to make a secondary gems mule!

Nevermind about the forge these things happen. I'll have to wait a bit longer for my crescent moon! Gib Um plzzzz.
 
Hmmm, that is one sweet merc sword, indeed.

Since we have like 6 or 7 Amns in stash I think I can use one to pimp that sword :)
 
Just remembered something. I've been using a Lance on my merc. Is this against the "speed" theme. Should I load him up with a Partizan instead?

Oh, may I steal an Amn for next session? It would be nice to make a strength runeword for my merc.

Second Oh, I've got the hot handed bears Insight too.
 
Yeah I'll help out this week if your about MrKaxe - My fire Sorc works well on Andy! Need a few more levels for that pimpin Weapon you gave me!

@tika - My damage - not entirely sure. I have nearly maxed resist cold aura so I think I'm about 1.1k damage and about 300-500 from the aura

Next up is Salvation - which will come in handy for hell.

If anyone spots an amazing MF hat (lots of sockets!) let me me know and I'll put the order in for yellow gold from our gem shop! Should push me way over 200% - currently in most "magicy" mode I'm up to 160%

That sounds like a plan indeed! I just realised that Eschuta's was only 2+...have to find a 3+ one on our MF travels!

Will be on very late tonight, if at all and might not be on 2moro as the missus is wanting to clock time with me...Thursday for sure!



 
How about we burn some of those emeralds and thul runes on safety craft amulets?
+ (1-10)% Increased Chance Of Blocking
Magic Damage Reduced By (1-2)
Damage Reduced By (1-4)

And yes, I have the lum.

Really enjoyed this week's session. I think we are getting more even in killing power than in earlier games, making everybody (trigger)happy.
 
I dunno, I think I'd rather be carrying a prismatic amu or the likes. But ofcourse I dont carry a shield at all this round :badteeth:

If you feel like you could use it, go right ahead. It's not like we don't have a couple spares :D

We could also make some spirits for prebuffing, although by now our baba should be able to shop/gamble for echoing weaps iirc...
