Re: The 12 Labors Tournament
Another update here, and another Labor completed!
Heracles took it easy over the weekend and spent time on life instead of questing, so not as much progress was made as hoped for. Either way, the Glacial Trail was a breeze, but the Drifter Cavern was as annoying as expected, even though slvl 2 Howl helped out a lot. There was an unfortunate cornering on an icy cave wall where Howl had no effect on the brutish Drifters, which was leaving Heracles to either S&E, die, or try something else. War Cry (slvl 3) had not been mentioned for the Drifter Labor, and after releasing a couple of War Cries, Howl became much more effective. Of course, moments after freeing himself, Heracles reached the chest and popped it open. Then, he proceeded to War Cry and Concentrate his way back out of the cavern.
On a side note, anyone who has played a singer Barb notice this before? Where a low level Howl does not effect the monsters, but suddenly gains potency after War Crying those same monsters?
The rest of A5 has been a breeze, staying well above the necessary level. Hoping to score some more items to tackle NM with, so even though Baal has gone down without much difficulty, Heracles has yet to enter the Nightmare. Still waiting to find the right item to socket... it may end up being white body armor 'cause Larzuk has yet to have a 4os body armor for sale.
At Destruction's End and beyond!
