Re: The Certain Death Tournament.
@Hans. Ouch! R.I.P Ulquiorra-san. That is some bad luck right there! Meph can be very dangerous and shouldn’t be underestimated. If he gets his spells going in repetition it can be deeds in a heart beat. I once lost a character to that Cold ball, it can hit very hard!
@JayeM. R.l.P GlassJaw. Hopefully GlassEye can revenge his death and hopefully have more luck than GlassJaw!
Anyway I have had quite a bit of free time today so Drake received a lot of attention. Here is his story so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drake wondered out into the Bloor Moor and wacked some skulls with his starter club, a few quick levels saw a Poison Creeper and Oak Sage join his journey. Drake boosted his STR to 36 early to allow him to upgrade to a Scepter and wear a 3soc Ringmail. It turned out to be a good move. As early as the Mausoleum Drake had already accumulated 5 chipped topaz’s, placing each one into his helm and armor. By the Stony Field Drake had amassed 11 chipped topaz’s! (I believe that is a personal best for me). Its a shame that Aliza, the Fire rogue who assisted us, couldn’t make use of the extra topaz’s .
Very quickly Drake became a dominate force, to an absurd degree. Fissure and Boulder just dominated everything on p/8.Cold Crow was a push over and received the Boulder treatment . 1 shot wipe out, nice! Rakanishu and his mob were wiped clean with just 1 Fissure, it really was that easy!
We rescued Cain with relative ease and he decided to let us travel with him for free! Thanks Cain!
The battle with Andariel was an absolute joke, level 8 Fissure just humiliated her. Her drop, didn’t have anything to get excited about (was hoping to see some unique Heavy Gloves) .
Aw well onwards to act 2 !
Interesting notes/Finds:
*Here is Drake finding his first S/U. Would have been nice vs Andy if i had remembered to equip it :doh:.
*I have noticed that Fissure works almost exactly like Blizzard. Faster monsters seem to take alot more damage than slower ones. Stationary monsters are alot harder to kill than ones that are moving. This has made me alter my strategy to horde and force monsters to move around, or just use Boulder. Also, the faster the hit recovery of the monster, the more damage it takes. I am beginning to really like this skill!
*By the end of the Act Drake had accumulated a whopping 16 chipped topaz's (a personal best for me!)
