Progress is slow, but I've punched my way to level 6 and the cold plains. None of the important (to me) gems have dropped (see earlier post on page 3).
I'd say don't count the rogue encampment WP, it's just more free points for those playing a harder restriction set.

I'm up for this. I'll base it off my favorite anime, Bleach.

Class: Assassin
Rules: Only cloth armor may be worn. No head gear except circlets, coronets, and tiaras. (Matches her usual outfit)
Skills: Traps (unplanned as of yet)
Max Shadow Master (Representing Shiba Kukaku's brother, Ganju Kukaku, whom is also a fireworks creator and helps his sister)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------I just finished the countess. I currently have six points. I've decided not to hotkey coba strike. It makes the game easier than I want it. Having no merc is different but I'm managing. Katars have crap damage so I might have to use my gems. I already have a jewel of envy in a 2 socketed ring mail. I also have 11 more psn dmg from charms. Both katars have 2 sockets so I'm hoping for some chipped topazes. I'll probably be doing countess runs to get some tir and ith runes for now.
I found Hsarus' Iron Fist. It is for trade if anybody wants it.
AndiDi said:I'm currently playing a HC Berzerker with WarCry as crowd control. If you want to play without a shield (like I do) you need a way to keep monsters from hiting you. My build looks like Berzerk 20, WarCry 20, BO 20, Howl 20 (because I cannot place skill points into the masteries tab, I use Howl as a synergy for both Berzek and WarCry). The normal playstyle against melee monsters is: WarCry to Stun and then kill them. Ranged attackers get Taunted and then stunned.
But be carefull. WarCry requires a lot of mana. The best compromise is to pump WarCry to stun for 5 seconds. That is level 20 (+1 from Battle Command) and costs 30 mana per cast. I currently have ~500 mana and need to trink a blue pot from time to time.
Going 2-handed gives you insane damage. I'm currently running around with .9k-4.6k, 6.2k AR and 2.3k life at level 70. But going without a shield has its disadvantages: Don't even think to Berzerk while there are un-Taunted ranged attackers on the screen or un-stunned melee monsters in attack range.
And don't forget to check out Nightfish's Berzerker guide here
I forgot about how much mana war cry uses... I guess I could try just howling... but that would be very risky. I do use taunt allot...(sweet skill)
I was hoping to go for a one hit kill type of build so thinking I may go the just howl way, not sure though.
Yah, I have read all the guides just wanted to ask someone in person. Thanks for the help!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------Just updating my build listing in the table.
Oh, Slothman, if you want to go with Dracula's wife, I can't off the top of my head remember his three original brides, but Mina Harker was becoming the fourth in Bram Stoker's book.
Isildur started by clearing the blood moor learning his enemies every move and there strength by the time that was done he was strong enough to go into the "den of evil" so the elves called it, they were to busy singing around the camp fire to get involved so they made a good excuse that Isildur clear it out and tell them about it in the evening. The den of evil dropped a jewel which Isildur promptly bought a 2 socketed helm and socketed. 10 enh. dmg. 20 to poison jewel. After the den no other good finds. But By the time he was done he finally got his first sword. 3 socketed with 10 enh. dmg. which got 2 chipped topazes and emerald. That weapon lasted him clearing all the way to the countess. By this time he was already doing 60-100 dmg. Isildur new that he may need a faster weapon than the high dmg weapon so he ran the countess, and made a steel 2 handed sword. The dmg wasn't quite as good but he likes the speed so he cleared all up to the Inner Cloister. Did a couple Bone ash runs made it to lvl 17 then made the Tal Eth armor...
That is about it so far, I have never found such a sweet jewel so early in the game. Makes p8 easy.
WayPoints collected: 8
Quests completed: 4
Points total: 12
Not sure what to do for the imbue yet. The only "bad" item I have is my gloves so will probably imbue some. I will be able to complete Act one later
today, gonna be looking for Bloodfist gloves for awhile today.
argh.... that didn't work...Could someone just put me in because I don't know what happened, normally don't have any problems...

Thanks to the interest Horobi has decided to let people start playing. If I misread and he didn't, I live in Guam, where it is May 14, until the tourney starts in Colorado :lol:.
So, are AlterEgo and I allowed to count completing the "world" part of the quest (i.e. finding the Malus, killing Blood Raven) as a quest completion? I only ask because...Samus has begun her adventure.
Page 1: The travels of Samus Aran
While exploring the Ancient Monastery (more on that later) I have discovered two very powerful books. One, colored red on the cover, is capable of revealing an item's latent powers to me, enabling its use. The other, and the one I am writing this in, is a tome capable of opening rifts leading back to the camp where I found myself many nights ago.
Ahh, yes. The camp. When I found myself there I knew not what to make of it. Without my power suit I experienced things that I had not felt in a long time. During the flight from Zebes, it is clear that my ship and equipment where taken from me by the Space Pirates, controlled by Ridley. In the quite plausible event that I should die here, it is imperative that this world, and its inhabitants, are not forgotten. I know little of the demonic powers here...only what I have witnessed.
Upon arriving in the camp, I looked around. The villagers stared, believing that, maybe, I had come to help them. Looking toward a wall built in the shape of a corner, I saw a pile of what I believed were worthless artifacts. Now it appears that they were a huge portion of the camp's belongings. I searched the rubble, pulling out a stack of javelins, a rounded, dented metal disk, four small flasks containing red liquid, and two pieces of paper, each wrapped in a different color ribbon. As I took them, the villagers faces turned from weariness, desperation, and sadness, to hope and anticipation.
Immediately I was certain that the evil here would not subit to modern technology. The danger presented amazes me as I write this. Within moments the javelins were spent and I ran on a desperate search for more. Ultimately the chests yielded a bow and arrows, which I quickly discovered how to use. I am attempting to learn how I would be able to adjust these weapons to closer resemble the technology used to defeat the Metroids and Pirates. If I am successful then I believe my chances of escaping this world will increase dramatically.
Within a small cave I discovered hulking brutes and small imps which were constantly ressurrected by a larger imp. I also discovered a graveyard where a sickly bowyer raised fallen corpses in an attempt to slay me. The red potions restore my injuries, while the blue have no currently discernable use. They may hold the key, however, to the use of skills mimicking the Ice Beam and other weapons I used in the Power Suit.
Lastly, I am incapable of communicating with the camp's inhabitants. Even if I was, I am unsure of whether or not I would choose to. I fear they would spread the sorrow, fear, and insecurity they convey through their expressions to me.
Samus out.
If these get too laborious I will stop writing them but I thought that was pretty fun for now.
3 points, if quests "completed" but not "turned in" count. Otherwise there's just one point (unweighted of course).

Slothman, I found a little something that may give you a few more ideas for your build.

This site has what appears to be the entire book online. I just found it, and haven't checked through, (and haven't read the book since I was 12 or 13), but the first chapter looks right, and it's one of the first few chapters that would have the names of the first three.
