I was going pretty well as a melee necro armed only with a spiked club, until I got careless. Use some common sense and you'll be fine. :)

I have a Barb in the Tourney called The Drummer who must play doubleswing or bash and must use matching 1-H blunt weapons limited to scepters, wands, war hammers and clubs/cudgels/truncheons. He is in Act 3, Normal and is planned as:
1 pt Doubleswing
20 pts Bash
20 pts Mace Mastery
20 Pts BO
Other restriction: no gloves

If you use double falchions etc. with similar skill investment then we'll have similar characters. That's up to you, of course, but just giving notice.

IMO, if I was modeling JASON I would use a Necro with a dagger and use poison dagger skill and invest in synergies + the skill called Terror.

huh? that makes no sense. Jason carries a masheti not a dagger and has no way poison on it... Never saw your build but hmm, i'm still going to do what I said because im already halfway through act1.
 
Warrior of Light has finished Act 1 in “/players8†mode. All quests was completed, all way points was found...
Enough reports! That was amazing challenge! That was just a dance with Cursed Archers, Cold Enchanted Tainteds and Andariel Itself. Just level 4 zeal and level 1 holy fire (level 1 holy freeze later) against hundreds hit points. No mercenary, Warrior of Light need no help from a rogue, he finished Blood Raven quest after killing Andariel and hiring noble paladin at Act 2.
Preparation wins battle, not battle itself. For final fight with “/players8†Andariel Warrior of Light collected maximum poison resistance and crystal sword, socketed with three chipped topazes. Actually Tainted pack was much harder, because of low lightning resistance, only a rejuvenation potion saved the life of Warrior of Light. No, he wasn't near death, he had rejuvenation potions on the belt for quick access.

Now Warrior collects Ral runes in Countess runs for “/players8†Act2. Warrior never hunt for items, he just prepare for battles. =)

How to count Horadric Maulus quest after returning the Maulus to Charsy, but without actual imbue? Is it completed or it is uncompleted?

How to calculate way points? Is town way point counts?

If you count unimbued quest as complted and count Act1 ant Act2 town waypoints, then Warrior of Light has 16 points (6 quests and 10 way points).
 
I think that I would like to join... I don't have as much time as I others, but we'll see how things go.

Name: T-bird
Theme - Bad guy from the Crow (movie)

T-bird is the leader of the gang that kills Eric Draven. His specialty is explosives, but he carries a gun.

His first Merc will be Tin Tin, who is the first killed. Then Fun Boy, who is killed next. Then Skank. Skank actually outlives T-bird. Tin Tin is a knife thrower, which is best represented as a rogue (alas). When that merc dies, I can hire another rogue (note hire a new one, not resurrect the last one), who will be Fun Boy (who has a really big gun). When he dies, I can hire Skank, the Barbarian. Skank can be resurrected as many times as is necessary.

Skills:

Corpse Explosion: 20
Poison Explosion: 20
Poison Dagger: 20 (synergy only, not allowed to be used)
Poison Nova: 20 (synergy only, not allowed to be used)

He can only use a crossbow or wands as weapons.

Ready to detonate!

Warrior of Light completed all quests and found all waypoints in Act2 at players8.
That wasn’t interesting. After around three hours of constant killing of Bishibosh he finally found Rixot's Keen sword. 25% Chance of Crushing Blow is all he needs to pass any challenge.
At the time Warrior of Light has level 3 Holy Shock, that is synergied by level 15 Resist Lightning. No one at Act 2 can stay against Zeal with 25% Crushing Blow and 1-369 damage Holy Shock, not even “/players8†Duriel.

Warrior of Light.
Level 26 Paladin.
Zeal and Holy Shock.
Quests completed: 12.
Waypoints collected: 3 at towns (Act1, Act2 and Act3), 16 outside.
Total Points: 31.

P.S.: Is anyone else playing in the tournament, or it is abandoned?
 
Normal Act 3 was conquered by Warrior of Light at “/players8â€. There was not any challenge again. Even Mephisto himself cannot stand against 1000 damage of Holy Shock with Zeal and Crushing Blow.
Now Warrior prepares to fight with Oblivion Knights, good enemies for Zealers.
Warriors of light prefers swords, but it seems that, it is good time to find a good bow. :)

True tension
"When my bow is drawn," says Herrigen to his Zen master, "a moment comes when, if I do not fire immediately, I feel that I will run out of strength."
"As long as you try to trigger the moment to fire the arrow, you shall not learn the art of archery," says the master. "The hand which draws the bow must open up like the hand of a boy. What sometimes hinders the shot's precision is the overactive will of the archer."
A warrior of the light sometimes thinks: "that which I do not do, shall not be done."
That is not quite the case: he must act, but he must also allow the Universe to act at the right time.

Warrior of Light.
Level 31 Paladin.
Zeal and Holy Shock.
Quests completed: 18.
Waypoints collected: 4 in towns, 24 outside.
Total Points: 46.
 
Well, I haven't actually started T-Bird, yet. I will probably do so here this weekend, it being a long one and all. :clap:

Hopefully my theme is interesting so the originator of the thread. Wherever he is. :p

All quests and all waypoints in Act 4 is done. "/players8" was used all the time as usual.
Now it was interesting. Chaos Sanctuary forced Warrior of Light to hide his sword and show his Repeating Crossbow. You know, all that Oblivion Knights with Iron Maiden for mêlée characters and Bosses with minions, that trying to surrender you. All that pretty things gave Warrior a lot of joy and fun fighting. Iron Maiden of Oblivion Knights was conquered by the crossbow. And he managed to escape from surrounding using tactics of "careful running away and shutting". To escape the trap of Infector of Souls (right seal boss) he had to run away to town portal and then get back from River of Flames waypoint.
After all that challenges even players 8 Diablo was easy, because Warrior may use his sword again!

BTW, he finally found his talisman, that he probably will use until he will find better talisman in far future -- a rare gloves with +5 to light radius.

Warrior of Light.
Level (33?) Paladin.
Zeal and Holy Shock.
Quests completed: 21.
Waypoints collected: 5 in towns, 26 outside.
Total Points: 52.
 
Warrior of Light will henceforth be known as Destroyer Warrior of Light!
Normal difficulty is finished in players 8 mode. All way points are collected as well as all quests are finished. Technically Imbue, Socket and Personalize quests are not completely finished yet and is active in the game, but Warrior of light has already returned The Malus and killed Shenk and Nihlathak, so he counts this quests as finished.
Act 5 at players 8 (Ancients and Baal too) wasn't difficult for him, thanks to more then 3k maximum damage of Holy Shock. That was just training before future real challenges.
At the moment he maximized Holy Shock and Resist Lightning and is working on his Holy Shield skills.
You can find his current ATMA full dump here.

dun worry May, i havent been able to put myself on Gorath either...
still act 1, i think i managed to get the first waypoint... (dunno exactly) ;)
 
That was amazing! The battle with Andariel! Warrior of Light was near death and has won.
Act 1 of Nightmare was finished. He still playing on “/players8†all the time.
Another great battle was Fire Enchanted + Spectral Hit Afflicted's one. See his screenshot here. That was hard! His bolts are too dangerous! May be warrior has not enough life – 588? His resistances are maxed.
The destiny gave a favor to Warrior, after his first try to cube Grand Charm the cube produced that beauty:

Shimmering Grand Charm
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 27
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 36
Fingerprint: 0x97fbac78

NM waypoints: 10.

Warrior of light was slain by Death Beetle. Rest in Peace brave hero. Your deeds of valor will be remembered.

It was just Extra Strong random unique boss. It is possible, that Warrior of Light got several critical hits in a row. He didn't even have a time to drink a full rejuvenation potion. He took good damage from the boss itself, drank a normal life potion, and then quickly died from a minion.

Why he is dead? He had not enough life for melee combat -- around 650. He did have good lightning resistance -- 85%. He did have good blocking -- ~50%. He did have good defense, something enough for ~50% chance to be hit by the Death Beetle. May be he was a bit careless, but it is a part of life of any warrior of light.

He took honorable death in a battle anyway. Rest in peace. It is time for Warrior of Light II, not in the tournament, though.

Now it seems I have to bust out fenix and get some revenge on those beetles(if I make it that far) A very good showing and a score that should stand up pretty well for a while. Have a drink on me :drink:

Poor Faile has been left to wait while I read on her book basis... amidst the rest of the series... I really must start on her, but I haven't been in the mood to start D2 up latly. Maybe it's 'cause I'm warm enough without thinking about that river of flame or ACT 2 alogether....
