Set/Unique Item Worshippers Tournament II

Syklar said:
Oh crap. First tourney I'm in and I've screwed it up already. :shocked:

I suppose this is grounds for a major mulligan? (Not that I mind too much mind you, giving me another chance to whisk away all those terrible teeth and bone armor points)

I'll leave that to your discretion. You may either start using the equal-chance method (1dx, where x = # of skills open) and continue on with this character, or you can use your major mulligan, roll a new class, and start again. It's an honest mistake, and it's not like any of the rolls helped you, so... your call. Continue on (with the right random method) or start anew (with the right random method). :)
 
Megaera is lvl 24 and cleared the Maggot's Lair. Only 2 new U/S found - Isenhart's Case (left on the ground) and a good one - Nokozan relic.

The 3 ne random points went to: Telekinesis, Inferno, Charged bolt :rolleyes:

Current score 5 SU items:
Arctic Furs (body)
Arctic Furs (merc body)
Felloak (weapon switch)
Pelta Lunata (shield switch)
Nokozan Relic (amulet)
 
Nyx is finally in the Inner Cloister, and has reached level 19. One new item, the ever popular Cleglaw's Claw, just in time for Andariel. I'm actually enjoying the martial art skills, they are both deadly and delightful.

Random points for 17 and 19 went into Psychic Hammer and Dragon Talon, which makes that kickback skill now have 3. I'm tempted to start spending my freebies, but I'm determined to wait just a little longer until I really need it. I'll soon want my Shadowy assistant, but between that, BF (if I ever open it), and the upper martial art skills.... there's just too much to spend.

As always, I'm in awe of all the MF jainsonz manages to cram onto his characters...

Nyx, level 19, 2 S/U equipped, Act I Normal
 
I didn't mean to update again, but I'm so excited and want to brag.

CryBaby, the Barb, is in the Lost City. He found 3 S/U's during my last session.
The first was Steelgoad Voulge -getting an S/U weapon for my A2 Merc is important because it delays the moment when I'm forced to switch to an A3 Merc.

And then, in close succession, a green ring and a green amulet dropped. Angelic's and Angelic's! :jig: :jig:

Cool!




Melica didn´t get far in act 3 before she suffered a serious setback.

Cathan´s damn Rule! Melica doesn´t think it rules one bit. :sad2: The +fire skills did give her an extra level of Wake of Fire. Whee.
(They also gave her an extra level of FoF, which she of course can not use while she holds a staff...:tongue: )

OK, the Rule needed to be on the switch. The alternative wasn´t much better.

No real harm done yet, though, because dear Chalan was still around, slaghtering enemies with his mighty halberd. When I reached the Great Marsh entrance and saw that there were those enourmous Bramble Hulks (with loads of life on /p8...) there, I decided to take the Marsh first, since I could lose Chalan any minute now.

Turns out Chalan lasted for the entire Marsh, Spider Forest, both spider lairs, a good bit of the Flayer Jungle and the Flayer Dungeon. But on the first floor of the Swampy Pit it happened: Isenhart´s Lightbrand on the ground!

Melica now has 3 S/U weapons, and the only way to equip all 3 is to get an Iron Wolf (or a barb merc, but that´s for later, maybe). I wanted a cold one (I haven´t tried them since 1.09), but Asheara didn´t have any. OK, Devak the lvl 29 Lightning mage then (planning to switch to a cold one at the next break).

A nice touch was that I could give Devak Cleglaw´s Claw and equip my good blocking shield again. Which sword to use? They are about equally crappy, but the mana steal gave the Skewer a slight edge.

Now that Melica needed to actually damage stuff herself, I invested 3 skill points to get Phoenix Strike. Barely had she tried it out before there were gold letters on the ground. It was Seven´s old friend, Bloodrise! Now this is a REAL weapon. It was so good here that even Normal Attack was enough against flayers and such. Devak helps, he isn´t totally useless. I think I´ll keep him for the rest of Normal. I pondered if I should give him a Faster Cast Circlet and make him a Stealth armor, but I decided I´d better use the MF gear as long as possible.

Best way for Melica to fight now seems to be to just go nuts with Phoenix Strike until her mana is low, then do 1-2 Cobra Strike cycles.

I was a little scared of Stormtree because Melica has absolutely NO lightning resist. Thankfully, I managed to isolate him from his gang and I found a sweet spot where no sparks hit.

Giant green sticks? Big Blue Swords? She clearly needs a page out of Nyx's book. The grey/black Rixot's Keen blends well in the shadows. Your weapons would make even the strongest CoS ineffectual. :)

I love the Bloodrise, and miss it terribly! Hopefully I'll find one too. I've noticed that Rixot isn't as deadly as I remember without fanatacism and zeal. I actually use claws more than not.

Nyx is chilling in the Dry Hills after killing Radamant. She didn't quite make level 21 at Andariel, but she's resting comfortably at level 22 right now.

After I made my mocking post of Jiansonz and his fashion, a casket in Cat 1 coughed up a golden Scimitar. I was a bit irritated, but now, I love the dickens out of it. +resists? +leech? And it's fast! The damage isn't great, but it's deadly. It's not terribly attractive, but it'll do. It will do.

Insult met injury when I rolled a *third* point in Psychic Hammer. A first point in weapon block was the level 22 prize, and now I have a ton of points that I've yet to place. I'm considering 1 point in BF for use against bosses with Rixot's, but since that'll take 4 points to open up, it's something that I'll probably wait a few acts to do.

Nyx, Level 22, 3 S/U equipped, Act 2 Normal
 
Well, ol' Donny is finally moving up in the world (though not in his command of the Engrish language, as you'll see in a minute). He's made it through Act 1 now and stands proudly netx to Fara as we speak, mooning and flexing in vain hope of attracting attention. Andariel went down without so much as a whimper (but plenty of boobies), something that Don is reasonably proud of. Something he's even more proud of, however, is the following:

What's that, Don?

That's right, folks: DonCaballero finally has some shiny shoes to take dancing.


But wait, what's that, Don?


Oh, crapface. Better not throw those Ocher Chain Boots of Dexterity out quite yet. Of course, hot-footing it does have its distinct advantages:

You tell 'em, Don.

(That pic was much more impressive when the Gargoyle Traps were all a'blazin, but such is life when your Merc averages 20 damage). But Catacombs Level 3 was not done with Don yet! After chasing down and killing the very boss you saw in the above picture (friggin' pussy, running away and stuff), Don was nearly apoplectic with joy:

Agreed, little buddy.

As for how the levelin's been going, Don now stands tall at the mighty level of 19. Fate decreed that his Level 17 point should be used in Stun, and Don was all too happy to use his 18th point in the powerful Concentrate. He was also reasonably pleased upon learning that his 19th point should be spent teaching how to Leap, especially with his fancy new footwear. Andy dropped him only a pack of rares, an Amulet of which had both Poison Resist and Length Reduction, something that could come in handy soon...

I will give this one a shot. rolled a 2 which is an assassin.

Confused (lvl 8) 0 s/u so far. At the Stony Field wp. so far I have a couple points in a few skills.
 
CryBaby is now at lvl 27 and has knocked off Duriel. He also has 6 points in 4 different weapons masteries -so he is ready for most weapons!

His 9 S/U items have mostly been helpful:

Isenhart's Case and Lightbrand (not a bad sword for Normal)
Angelic Halo Ring and Angelic Wings Amulet
Arctic Binding Light Belt (I need another row or two.)
Nagelring Ring
Stoutnail (on weapon switch)
Clegaw's Claw (on weapon switch)
SteelGoad Voulge (on A2 Merc)

Gibsu finally found his first unique item, Biggin’s Bonnet, in the Pit level 2 sparkly chest. With that perched on his head he was able to smack down Andariel and move on to Act 2, where he has so far picked up the Arctic Binding, Cleglaw’s Pincers, and the Arctic Furs. The resistances and 40% MF partial set bonus from the Arctic Gear are not too shabby. Gibsu also found a second set of Cleglaw’s Pincers in Act 2, so the game owes him one S/U! :rant:

Now we’re midway into Act 2, and just retrieved the Staff of Kings. [Does the Staff count as a Unique which needs to be equipped? I believe it should, but I’ll wait for a ruling from erimatbrad.] The gods of randomness have apparently decided Gibsu should be a cold auradin, so that’s the route we’ll be following for now.

Well, in the interest of being less evil, I'll say that quest items, such as the Viper Amulet, Horadric Staff of Kings, and Khalim's doohickeys, will *not* count as quest items.

Logic being, if you have the Staff of Kings and the Viper Amulet, you'd have to likely equip both and would not be able to take them off to complete the quest, making this the shortest tournament ever. :grin:

---

I played Nyx a little bit last night to get the Cube, and will probably spend all my playtime today cubing up gems, as I've got around a hundred to work with. She managed to level up once, and I rolled yet ANOTHER point into Psychic Hammer, making it a total of four. The joke, as they say, has gotten old...

Melica is moving along very nicely. She´ll take a long break now so a couple of participants can catch up. :grin:


Mephisto was mighty scary a couple of times. I swear, he can smack over 200 damage in one hit sometimes. In Normal!! Not even Duriel can do that...

Mephisto: "I almost had you there. Well fought. (Sigh.) I guess you deserve a reward. Uh, I am out of stock of the cooler stuff. You´ll get something really common that you don´t have. Have you found Isenhart´s Lightbrand yet?"
Melica: "Check."
"How about Cathan´s Rule?"
"Found it before. It´s been sold."
"Cathan´s Seal?"
"Got it. See?" (Gives him the finger. With said ring on it.)
(Meph is now more than slighty peeved) "Isenhart´s Case!?"
"Uhhh..."
"Muahahaaaa..." (dumps the infamous green Breast Plate)


Phoenix Strike is improving with every level-up. When a random skill has been placed, I put another point in PS, keeping it at maximum for the clvl. It´s at level 6 now, and I have 6 free points left.

It was a total mess in the River of Flame. Grotesques, Stranglers and maggots. Very careful skill switching and well timed CoS castings were needed for smooth progress.

Good Hellforge drop: perfect and flawless topaz and an Ort rune. I made an improved MF armor.

Diablo dropped 3 set items.

Gear:
* Deadly Circlet of Luck (30/31)
* Civerb´s Icon
* Bloodrise
* Gemmed Breast Plate (+64%MF)
* Mechanic´s Bone Shield of Blocking 'EldEld'
* Brimstone Grasp (Rare Leather Gloves: Resist Fire 14, Resist Lightning 10, 43% Extra Gold, +21%MF)
* Nagelring (25)
* Hwanin´s Blessing
* Cathan´s Seal
* Hsaru´s Iron Heel

* 7 Small Charms with some resists, +8 life and slight cold + poison damage

Weapon switch:
* Skewer of Krintiz
* 2-socketed Bone Shield (waiting for a Shael)

Devak, level 34 Lightning Mage
* Circlet of Luck (34)
* Cleglaw´s Tooth
* Isenhart´s Case
* Cleglaw´s Claw (set combo gives 15% Resist All, which is nice)

S/U items in stash:
* Isenhart´s Lightbrand
* Death´s Touch
* Hsaru´s Iron Stay
* Sigon´s Wrap
* Dimoak´s Hew
* Immortal King´s Will (39!)

The IK helm is the only headgear I´ve found. It looks like I will have to get a barb merc (and give Cleglaw´s shield back to Melica) when I can hire one. I wonder which of my four swords that will suck the least for him...

I've been thinking about this one for a while, and can't resist any longer. The battle against evil will be taken up by... Skunkette the amazon.

EDIT: what am I thinking? Mulligan, mulligan! Skunkmonk the paladin is born, and is prepared to smite evil and promote the worship of shiny gold and green items.
 
RiverSue decided to do a full clear of Act 2 to get more experience and find some more goodies (or badies as the case may be). While exploring one of Tal Rasha's tombs, she came across an interesting double axe, the Bladebone unique double axe. She picked it up and liked the feel of it. She replaced her old gemmed long bow (which she had not been using lately) and tested it. It was a bit slower than her javelin (level 3 jab), but it seemed to kill about as well (not all that well). An interesting alternative, but nothing to fall in love with. But it sure is pretty!

Then a bit later, she killed a gorebelly and discovered a snakecord unique light belt. Wow, what an opportunity. A chance to get rid of that belt that she had gambled for. Of course that meant losing about 45 points of resist and 4 potion bottle locations. Oh well, the belt is really pretty! Ouch, there was one other difficulty with giving up that old belt. That meant that 2 points of strength were lost. That meant that she could no longer wear the plate boots she had also acquired through gambling. They were not really worth keeping (enhanced defence and +7 to MF), but going barefoot was not to her liking so she went back to her gambling habit and on the first attempt got a really nice pair of heavy boots that were easy to wear and had +26 fire resist, +18 lightning resist and +22 magic find! Wow, that replaced her old boots real well!!

Finally, she cleared the last tomb and went into Duriel's lair. Although she had played on P8 up to this point, she decided to go after Duriel on P1. She had no great desire to spend all morning resurrecting Jemali and porting back and forth to town. Of course, the battle went well and went quickly. Duriel succombed and dropped .... boots! Vidala's Fetlock boots. They... well, they were pretty boots. They even had +30 run/walk and 150 stamina. Of course, she could not resist wearing them. {so much for those fine heavy boots she gambled!}

So, now she has arrived at the docks in Kurast. She will continue to do full clears to get her experience up. The more experience she gets, the more times that one-in-three skill selection comes around. Soon she will get her valkarie. If she has the same luck on the valk as she has had so far with the random skills, she will need every skill point opportunity that she can get.

I believe you don't have to choose a barb merc (unless you want to). Since a barb merc can't double wield or carry a shield, he would have the same number of S/U as Devak even with the IK helm.

@Skunkbelly - welcome, fellow Paladin!

Found Cleglaws small shield at the stony field SU boss pack Rakinshu. Also Jail lvl 1 killed another boss pack and out drops a crushflange! I have a couple of points in dragon talon, so with this I will be able to take bosses down later on better. then I found a nagel ring but it only has 20%. Could of been worse. Right now I am using TS and DT to slay foes.

I believe you don't have to choose a barb merc (unless you want to). Since a barb merc can't double wield or carry a shield, he would have the same number of S/U as Devak even with the IK helm.

Wrong. Hiring a barb will raise my total to 11 S/U items. Merc will equip 3 items just like Devak, but Melica will have to take the shield back!
