Random Tournament 2009

Re: Random Tournament 2009

You can't use skills that aren't on the ones given to you, that includes putting a point into mastery for sorceress when it's not one of your skills.

Edit: Pwned! (I'm slow)

Axis finished Act 2. Everything is going much better tha I tought when i got char rolled. I equiped him with Steel runeword that I made in Battle axe, and with it he has no problem killing anything with 2-5hits or mana problem, so he uses bash as primary attack. Decidet that that will be skill maxed next.
Nothing of things that I would like to drop dropped. He got this interesting drop, not usefull tough. Also, did someone said he was looking for one of this? I wish it wass battle axe or military pick. Duriel droped nice boots, to bad I can`t use them.ž
First pike I gambeled became perfect weapon for his merc until end of act. I put 2 saphires in it.
Code:
Pain Needle
Pike
Two-Hand Damage: 21 to 88
Durability: 25 of 25
Required Dexterity: 45
Required Strength: 60
Required Level: 12
Spear Class - Slow Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 24
Fingerprint: 0x66dc6e80
+40% Enhanced Damage
+13 to Attack Rating
+2 to Minimum Damage
Adds 1-6 lightning damage
Adds 8-14 cold damage over 2 seconds
Socketed (2: 2 used)
Managed to gamble 24FHR plated belt & 1os 17FHR Plate mail, so Axis crossed 48FHR breakpoint.

So far I had no problems in killing anything at p8, and i don`t recall single NDE. Almost got bored with that. Hope it will stay that way.
he`s MF is 113 / 131(merc).
Anyway, gotta go to sleep now.
cheers :wave:

I took it pretty easy on the D2 front yesterday, and so did Tikina. Today was a bit of a different story. From the Dark Wood to Lut Gholein in around 7 hours (I pick up and sell almost everything, and do endless gambling runs). Good times.

Let's see. Tiger Strike + Dragon Tail = pwnage, just as expected. WoF? Meh, but nice to take 2 or 3 hit points off a group before going in. This may be the first time I've had any use for the friggen Shadow Warrior. She kills too slow and too stupidly, but it's nice to put WoF on rmb and let her cast a few to conserve mana. Also nice that the scary 15+ member Extra Fast, Cold Enchanted Vampire boss pack, with a half-dozen Tainted buddies, focused on the Shadow instead of little CoS-less Tikina. (She did end up wading in there, and TS/DTailed 2 or 3 times to finish the entire pack.)

Went ahead a did the imbue on some heavy gloves. Got: AR, Cold Res, +1 Light radius, and 15% MF. I woulda thrown up if it wasn't for the extra MF (that 15% took me to around 60). About 5 minutes later, I was running Gheed for a bone helm and decided, what the hey, 2200 for some heavy gloves: enhanced def, +Dex, +Stamina, Poison res, 1/2 freeze duration, 12% MF. Which do you think I chose? Ha. Jeez. Wish I saved the imbue for later. Ah well.

Notable finds? (from Andariel) Bramble Cloak Hard Leather Armor: 26% enhanced def, Fire res, Damage reduced by 1, Poison length reduced, 2 sockets. Gave my MF armor to the new Defiance merc, and will stuff one Topaz (also thanks Andy) and at least a flawed, depending on how many more topazes I find between now and the cube. (I think I need about 2 to cube up a Topaz. Fingers crossed.)
From a spike fiend in the Outer Cloister: shimmering amulet of regeneration. May be useful later, but will probably stick with Corruption Wing Amulet (from a spike fiend in the Black Marsh): +4 Energy, +5 Mana, +10 Life, Lightning res 9%, Fast Cast (meh), 9% MF.
Gambled bone helm: +4 life, poison length reduce, self repair, 1 socket.

I'm pretty easy to please. No S/Us yet, but I remain hopeful.

Ok. This is too long already, and (anyways) nothing else to report except: it's beer thirty and I'm thirsty! :guiness:
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

ok I got a strange problem and I dont know if anyone will be able to help me, but I sure hope so.
I just killed nihlathak and now my assassin seems to be stuck in one spot. she isn't responding to anything. I can still drink potions, open inventory, merc is still running arround (so the game is not stuck)
but my assassin is not moving an inch, she seems to be frozen in a verry strange position.

anyway, if I save and exit, I'll have to rerun the whole way back to nihlathak and that would give me lots of extra exp. so I first wanted to hear if someone else can offer me an alternative solution.
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

If you've killed Nihlathak then you shouldn't have to go back down either way.. but say for example you didn't get the quest.. drop down to P1.. avoid monsters and don't open chests and go straight for Nihlathak.

Summary: Act 5 was somewhat interesting. Most of the monsters were no problem at all. The ones with very high cold resistances were somewhat tedious, but the real problem came against very large packs of Frenzytaurs / Abominations. Both types loved to ignore my mercenary, no matter what I tried, and would continually make me run in circles and wait for my mercenary to kill them. *sigh* They pack quite a punch as well. For smaller groups of them, however, this was not really a problem. Smite and Open Wounds are your friends. The Ancients were done on /players 1, which apparently meant that they were willing to die in about 6 hits apiece. =\. Nothing special about the WSK, and most of the Baal's waves were very easy once they were lured away from the Decrepify casting monster. Lister's pack on /players 8 was a troubling little thing, forcing me to split his pack up a few times and slowly using Smite to kill them. Baal himself was done on /players 1, making him very easy. As for Cows, they are quite fun to kill. :D. Overall, that was one of the easiest trips through Normal difficulty that I've had in a long, long time. A synergized Holy Freeze is quite overpowered in the early stages of the game. Anyway, here's Chrono's LCS for those who are interested.

Finds: Arctic Binding, Chance Guards, Cleglaw's Tooth, Coldkill, Cow King's Hide, Dimoak's Hew, Humungous, Ichorsting, Tancred's Crowbill. Amn Rune, a few Ral Runes / Ort Runes. Jewel of Carnage. 5x Perfect Gems.

MF: 144% (171% for the mercenary).

Good luck with all of your characters guys!
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

congrats Nagisa! I was hoping to be the first in NM, but now I'm racing you to hell!.. also give me those chancies you bastard =D (only love I swear)
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

What was I thinking when I looked at my random skills and though it would be OK? I have an indestructable clay golem and an army of skelletons... but no skeleton mastery, no amp, no decrep and no corpse explosion... things are getting slooooowwwww. I've taken to whacking monsters with my wand just to help things along ;)

Grats Nagisa on getting to NM! Good luck there.

Me on the other hand was happily whacking away in the palace cellar, charged into a room with a Conviction boss of the four armed dudes and a horde of skeletons..I lasted about two seconds. So maybe 100th time I can make it out of act2..hell I am not even going to give an update until I reach act5.

This week has been/will be extremely busy with midterms, so my D2 time has been cut drastically. Two days of playing and I haven't even finished A1 yet! I have found 2 set items so far: Infernal Cranium and Death's Hand. I can actually use Death's Hand, but without the sash its kind of useless. I would much rather have the 25 mf my leather gloves of fortune give me. The going has been relatively smooth, especially past level 18 when I picked up Vengeance and Holy Freeze at the same time. Still don't have enough mana to use Vengeance all the time, but HF by itself doubled my damage :p
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

congratulations, Nagisa :thumbup:

that was speedy as hell! (compared to guess who...)

and congrats to everyone else who still has a character...

just finished Andariel, wasting at least 3 rejuvs, i couldn't bring myself to tp to akara instead and save those potions... decided i'm going to hold back on the updates until i reach Act 4...
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

Grats for reaching nightmare, Nagi! What is your equipment like at the moment?


Also, I wish I had time to play, but I'm pretty much limited to playing on weekends only due to work. :coffee:

So I'm pretty happy with how this is going. The polearm lets me stand behind the wolves and take swings, or engage blinded enemies without them engaging me. The ravens are blinding things. I've kept my Act 1 merc (originally thought this would be like playing a mojomancer). I'll probably swap her out for an Act 2 NM merc if I get there. I have the cube. I was too lazy to get the Dry Hills wp, but thats next. Then just going to go "bingo bango" and win the tourny.

I'm the luckiest character in the world. I have a crushflange, some other unique weapon, and bloodfists. I can actually use the bloodfists too!

@Nagisa: dude...

I just realised something. damn DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN... I wasn't thinking. I put some points in HoW and used it. My character is null and void. I'll just put him in the RIP as he was at the last score update (ie before I cheated)

Edit: I'll get back to you on the bingo bango
 
Re: Random Tournament 2009

Ive not been having too much fun with my char so far so Im considering my options.
Whenever someone have a free moment Id like it if they rolled a assassin for me
5 traps, 2 shadow, 1 MA
Swords for weapons (since rwm is allowed)
