Random Tournament 2007

EasyGijs:

I don't think blade sentinel does get any faster, I'm afraid. There's a timer on it that stops you having more than two going at once -- this is the main reason why people tend to prefer blade fury.

Odysseus is still rolling through things, and now that he's level 16 has been able to gamble to complete his set of equipment. Nothing special, though - and he's getting a sizable portion of his damage from charms. The Countess has fallen, so it's off to meet the Smith next.
 
Wow, I never thought I'd hear someone say those words.

Be glad Vang is so fast, my roll wasn't as good.

no way im going to make anything even remotely resembling a hammerdin in a RANDOM tourney... thatd just be wrong

If you a good look over here, you'll see i have 5 sentinels flying around. I also think there is a timer (about 40 frames i think)like blizzard and meteor, but the duration of the trap increases with its lvl.



 
Got smoked by Grisu
At least once :grin: I think I could do this all day...I mean rolling random characters for all forumites. I don't think I would miss playing...:wink3:

EDIT: I also wouldn't like to use boots as a belt :D
Lol :) yeah, as Vang said: I meant Heavy Belt. I was so desperately trying to beat Vang to it, that my fingers were actually working faster than my mind...

glad to see the build is actually working, EasyGijs! Good Luck with your Assassin further on!



 
Quickdeath:

Can't you throw javelins and then repair the stack at Charsi's (and as it's a starter item, repair costs are just about zero)? And it will never go down to zero -- you just won't throw your final javelin. You've only got the one usable stack, so you may not want to be throwing the whole time, but if you go through the stack once between each visit to town I'd guess your killing speed would go up quite a bit.

Thanks, Scatha. Of course, I have been doing just what you are recommending to some extent. But I believe (from experience) that the Javelin does disappear if you reduce your stack by throwing down to one javelin, and then jab with that last javelin until it "breaks" -like loss of durability on a normal weapon. Also, in the heat of battle its easy to forget about how low in javelins you are and throw that last one away.

Well, Heartbreaker is continuing to battle along with a starter Javelin and no Javelin skills. My damage is 3-22 +3 poison damage over 3 seconds. I'll have to face down Andy with that -plus whatever my Rogue can do. I stuill have no helm, boots, gloves or belt! Sheesh! But I have found a Nagelring.

Andy went down after several minutes of annoying-ness (i do 28-43 damage, of which 22 is poison from charms). Relatively smooth ride so far, playing like a fishy for now. I had one NDE when I came upon this, which is the earliest I've ever seen a unique w/ and immunity. Luckily, I had a rejuv in my "belt" (waist, really - dunno I can keep 4 pots there, but w/e). Act 2 should be even smoother, since I just bought this and this and this, leaving only the armor slot blank.

Made some progress. Maxed out both SM and raise skeletal mage and at the moment the damage is sufficient for p8. In nightmare I'll have to get better gear or lower the settings though. Still havent found a single demon head. Perhaps Ill find a homunculus later on and lady luck is compensating? I have found a sigon's tower shield though, so Im pretty well off.
Now let's see if my small blokes can survive the ancients.

Sorry to hear about the recent deaths. gotta suck dying at lvl 51 already Vang :dizzy:

anyway Zaria got through act 5 at last, and blizz is really strong at the moment with it maxed and a few points in cold mastery. Doing 700ish damage and -30 enemy cold res is good.

There really wasnt any difficult part in act 5, ancients and baal all went down fast. I did find a Woestave, which is a good merc weapon. Slows enemy by 50%, has open wounds and blinds target. Also managed to gamble what will probably be my end game boots:

Zaria's Bone Stalker
Light Plated Boots
Defense: 10
Durability: 18 of 18
Required Strength: 50
Required Level: 18
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 39
Fingerprint: 0xad39b9c3
+27 to Maximum Stamina
Lightning Resist +34%
Cold Resist +40%
23% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
10% Faster Run/Walk

Used my socket quest on a 27% fire resist small shield which got 2 sockets! So it will be a nice shield once i cube 2 perfect diamonds(before hell hopefully, if i get that far)
 
@zrk

Grats on reaching NM and Woestave is a great merc weapon. Those boots are awesome.

Hey, I do play here :rolleyes:

Just to let you know why I play so slow, apart from having low D2 time... I'm trying to get HC sept with the following rules: untwinked (no ATMA), one pass, full clear, all quests, all waypoints. There you go.

Has anyone here used Bash before, well I got my chance with this guy :grin: Not a bad little skill. I have some nice ideas for it so hopefuly my char will survive long enough...

He did survive Cold Crow and Blood Raven, both quite nasty for low level HC without (any) equipment... yay!

My troubles were rewarded with one and only one unique (I planned to write how I haven't seen any green or gold but this ruined my plans)

Gull
Dagger
One-Hand Damage: 2 to 19
Durability: 15 of 16
Required Level: 4
Dagger Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 7
Fingerprint: 0xe30fd451
-5 to Mana
+1 to Minimum Damage
+15 to Maximum Damage
100% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items


Sitting comfy in my HC items (never to be used) stash

Good progress all, sorry for all the losses and good luck :wink:

Skills:
Stun, Double Throw
Howl, Battle Cry
Increased Stamina

Equipment:
Chain Boots
Belt
Leather Gloves
Circlet
Kite Shield
Studded Leather Armor

Class:
Jawbone Cap

No weapon mastery, so Weapon needs chosen(if you choose to reroll Increased Stamina you can still stay with the mastery, but I'd wait on equipment reroll until you find out what weapon you get.)



 
so if i reroll increased stamina and get a weapon mastery and its not throwing weapons is double throw automatically rerolled??

either way id like to reroll increased stamina

Correct that is how it'll work.

New Mastery:
Polearm

DT auto reroll:
Concentrate

Weapon:
Poleaxe



 
Well you went from low, to highest:

Ancient Armor
 
well that makes two characters with ancient armor... probably meaning two characters who will never get to use their armor

heres to hoping random jr gets some armor

Heartbreaker, the javelin-wielding Bowazon continues her journey. It took several hours to clear the Jail and Catacomb on P8 with her dinky starter javelin. I wimped out and went to P1 before she entered Catacombs 4 - thus Andariel was manageable.

She now has a helm! Well...actually a Mask. The worlds ugliest Amazon!
