The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

Blank has made if through acts 1 & 2. There is nothing even interesting to say about the journey. The going was really easy (almost boring even), just raise my army and sit back as the 7 skelies, merc and golem ripped through everything. I can't even remember one time I lost more then a third of my life let alone be close to dieing. In both acts I was able to find some setup of wand plus head that gave me at least 1 point in amp, corpse explosion and bone armor so that made it even easier. Duriel usually gives my lower level chars some problems but even he fell in seconds. Since my skelies are done getting upgraded (at least for while) it should be getting harder and hopefully more exciting.

In terms of finds I didn't get a single set or unique in act 1 and the only s/u’s in act 2 were isenharts sword and angelics saber. For souvenirs in act1 I took a head with +3 skele to keep on switch for prebuffing my army. Act 2 left me with very little to choose from. I ended up selecting a ring with fire resists that I got from cubing together all the crappy amulets I had in my stash at the end of the act. My best find was a 30 lighting res jewel that will definitely come in handy down the road.

Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

Things are a bit quiet here... In two days it will be a month since the last post. Should I assume that all contestants that are serious about this are either dead or long gone to some other adventure??? Post if you are still working on a scavenger. Otherwise, it may be time to officially declare our winner. Guess who!
 
Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

I still plan on working on my character. I haven't had a lot time to actually play diablo lately and the few minutes here and there I have had I was distracted playing my cl/orb sorc but I haven't completely abandoned this necro. Funny this comes up now as I just started playing the necro again last night.

But I have no hope of winning nor do I have the time to advance the char quickly and make frequent updates. So if you want to close the tounry thats ok with me. I'll probably continue my char anyway (admitingly very slowly) for my own in enjoyment.

Yes, I am working on a couple characters from tournaments that officially ended months ago. It is just so hard to leave the poor souls behind. I also agree that catching Butzull is a daunting task that I doubt anyone is up to. Therefore, my next post will be the official end of the "Scavenger's Apprentice" tournament.



 
Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

It is finally time to declare a winner. Of course, there is no doubt who that winner is. Butz guided his Assassin, Niki though all but the last few areas in Act 5 of Hell. His score of 329 was nearly double my best (of 7) attempt. We were the only two to even get out of Nightmare, so that is a testamony to how difficult the scavenger's apprentice skill selection restriction proved to be.

Congratulations Butz and best of luck in the tournaments that you are now involved in. :flowers:
 
Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

I haven't really followed this tournament to much, but with the Heptad tournament just starting I decided to give this thread a quick read through. Congrats on gettting so far Butzull, it was a shame about her death.
 
Re: The Apprentice Program for Scavengers - Tournament

no make it official my necro just died to big D in normal anyway.

Congrats Butzull!!!
