MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt i

Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

My someday cow runner is still a work in progress in NM, so I don't think I'll be in any kind of shape to compete. Might throw a few runs together with some unoptimized characters... could be fun.

I'm going to start hoarding Wirts legs/tomes tomorrow. It definitely counts as part of the 20 hours, but I'm going to use a different character to get them. I use a 200FCR (dual wiz-spike) barb. He has 20 in faster walk, 20 in howl, and can get the leg faster than any other character I have. I'll use him to get a stash of 100 or so and then cow it up. I'm planning on running with my javazon, my fire sorc, and a new cold sorc I've been trying to optimize for the job. So far, she's not meeting my expectations, but we'll see how the week goes...

i hope i'm not outside the OT lines, but did you name him "wirtsWood_Grabber"?

/end nonsense


 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

do i actually have to state i'll be in this round too? or just do it?
cause if so, i'm in. I'm looking forward to seeing what pops up.
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

Regarding my wirt-leg retriever, he's not actually dedicated for the job. He's my LK runner, modeled on the one written up by sirpoopsalot. He started as a pure singer, and when 1.13 came out he was re-rolled into a 200FCR area runner. He doesn't kill anything, but he's absurdly fast running or teleporting and can howl away an enemies that get in the way. He also has a max'd Find Item, just in case his merc kills anything along the way. He just happens to have a tristam portal right next to the stony field waypoint, so this is kind of like his moonlighting gig.

All my cow-runners also get used in other areas, and have maps that I don't want to get rid of. I run baal with my javazon (no sub 2-minute times here), run Andarial and Mausoleum with my fire sorc, and run AT with my cold sorc. They all have nice maps, and re-rolling them to get a better stony field map seems unnecessary when maps don't make much difference for the actual Cow level.

I wish I had the kind of dedication to make a wirt-leg-getter :( kudos.

Fabian - I think your Trav history, baaling javazon (and other accomplishments) suggest that you certainly have an appropriate level of dedication. I'll be your gears are whirring away right now trying to figure out how to optimize a legger...

3 hours til start time here. Good luck everyone.



 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

I am in, if tentatively. I won't be able to start until later in the week, so we will see what happens. :)
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

I'll join up. I suppose I should respec my javazon to something that resembles elite.

Looks like those legs I made you get for me will be useful afterall. :tongue:

I'm also in, but not sure how many runs I'll be getting in. At least this will be good practice for my new and improved Furyzon. :)



 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

Hmm, maybe I should try to get a couple of runs done. Haven't played much Diablo lately. :(
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

Sign me up as well. Hopefully a few hours will net that pesky green War Hat.

Now if only I had a character to run with...
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

So I respeced the LF-zon and took her out for some warm-up runs. The cows were happy to see me and dropped a Stone of Jordan.

I'm with Nagi here and will consider this a success if I can get the green War Hat to drop as well.
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

The last piece I need are boots, so I'll carry about 175MF to encourage the drop...

How are people solving mana issues? 30MPK rings?
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

I don`t have any mana problems with the 5 MPK from Silkweave. Spirit and SoJ gives me a decent enough mana pool and a pot every third run or so fixes the rest.
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

How about a Phoenix shield on switch?

(runs and hides)
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

I'm doing the 37MPK ring thing as well. I'm sure there's something potentially more effective out there though, because it doesn't contribute to killing speed at all.
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

Killing speed... I'm using Silkweaves, SoJ and normal Titans. I need to pot every run, but 8 mana pots is enough for each run. I always end up pickin up pots, even though a trip to Akara at the start of every run would be enough.
 
Re: MF league 2010 - round 5 - Secreet cow level - rune hunt

hmm i seem to find that my lite sorc is somewhat better at cows then my cowing zon for some odd reason , ( pretty sure its cause my zon is not in top of the line gear.) debating on running with my sorc , but may try and twink out the problems with my zon..
my sorc runs p5 cows alot faster then the zon..

Darn darn darn. Out of 3 dedicated cow-runners, 2 killed the king in the first 4h of the tournament. My play has been way too sloppy.

No particularly exciting finds, but lots of nice socketables.
