Re: The Certain Death Tournament.
@ Mournblade, damn RIP for Svelte the Savage, id recommend playing on /p8 though, you get more exp and drops,
sure it starts of sluggish but its more of an advantage then an disadvantage over time.
Well, zap has
succeeded in avenging Wallerina :alright: (and more).
Act 3 was cleared fast with the newly learned frost orb. There were no interesting finds and Mephisto was quickly disposed off, as was his
loot (yes, it looks fancy but nothing usable exept for the tir).
The combination of fireball and frostorb absolutely murdered everything in act 4 (exept for izual who was static field spammed without mercy).
Mr. hellforge coughed up this
pretty decent drop, that green ring there to the right is Zapsarraps fourth Cathans seal.(the things are everywhere ....AAAAH!)
Diablo himself was approached with great care (teleporting right next to him and starting a static field spam as he spawned "cough")
the rest of his hp were taken with frost orb, while dancing around him and teleporting out of every projectile he hurled at ZAP.
It did not take long till the horny red bugger was all out of health, and instead of playing his fancy death animation he just despawned, having his revenge by leaving behind
this heap of trash.
At least now Wallerina can rest in peace, knowing that her killer would have dropped bad loot anyway.
Though act 2,3 and 4 were rather dissapointing dropwise, act 5 felt like act 1 all over again.
After dispatching of shenk and his minions, i decided it was time for a major circlet/belt gambling spree.
I muled my saved circlets off atma and sold them, giving me a nice amount of gold to spend on better equipment.
A lot of circlets later,
a very nice one was gambled.
I kept larzuk to his promise and stuffed a ptopaz in the circlet, then i revisited nilathak for some belt gambling (having about 30000gold left), the second try yielded
this beauty.
The following quests were rather uneventful, a lot of rather useless greens dropped, and progress was fast with frost orb shredding everything to bits in seconds.
During all that there were two noteworty drops: this nice
orb and a DOL-rune (wich i apparently forgot to screen).
After saving anya and selling her useless reward right back to her, it was time to go smoke out nilathak.
The trip was very rewarding with
this sweet drop.
Sheal was exactly what i was looking for to make a rhyme shield, now all i needed was a decent shield to socket it in.
A
candidate was found not much later after naming my bloodfist after me (zapsarraps bloodfist, its such an amazing questreward no?)
Though it is an
awesome shield, i could not yet equip it because of the resist penalty (it put my fire and lightning resist at 53) but before i spent more attention to that i first defeated the ancients and cleared the WSK up to the throne of destruction.
Now i spent some time switching around some gear and gambling some more, resulting in a nice amulet with magic find and resist all
that worked very nice with scroll from malah + the ryme shield resulting in
the perfect resistances to face baal.
After a motivational speech for pratham (i tell you, that guy has got to die, have you heard his annoying laugh?!), and an in-depth strategy discussion (if i toss a potion, make sure you catch it!),
it was time to go face to lord of destruction and his gang.
Both were actually quite the joke.. more frost orb/fireball spammage put an quick end to baals minions, and
static field took care of the guy himself.
His
drop included some chance guards, which were very welcome, since the cow level is all about collecting gamble gold.
In the cow level itself, not even one unique/set dropped, but all items were sold resulting in a heap of gold to gamble for at the start of nightmare difficulcy.
These are Zapsarraps stats after killing baal, she also had exactly 170% magic find (200% in the cow level because i used chance guards there, all of normal was cleared in /p8).
