'Three Way Dance II' - H.C 1.10 Tournament

[highlight]Team Mages of Rainbow (Igor Potapov) [/highlight] – 127 points
Destroyer Iarde – (Amazon – Passive/Bow) – lvl 67 – Act V NM
Destroyer Rose – (Assassin – Shadow/Trap) – lvl 72 – Act V NM
Delon – (Paladin – Combat/Offensive) – lvl 31 – Act IV Nml – R.I.P. Infector of Souls

My Freezing Amazon Iarde completed all quests in NM except all Act5 ones. She has been only finished Act5 since my last update. Hell’s Forge dropped Lum! :thumbsup: I don’t know what to do with it though. I already have Smoke Ghost Armor. I’d probably make good runeword armor for merc if I find elite ethereal one. Or I may save it to upgrade my WWS bow, that I’m going to use against CI in Hell. I was lucky enough in endless meph runs to find it! Now she just needs to find Pul rune to do it.

My Lightning Traps Assassin Rose completed all quests in NM except Nihlathak’s, Ancient’s and Baal’s. She leveled on Meph and Pindle with 200% MF, so she found a lot of good items for prize pool and herself. All items, that you see below was found by her. Anya was kind enough to sell me two +2 sin claws and one +3 traps! Hell’s Forge rewarded her with Pul! :thumbsup: I don’t know what to do with it too.
In one of the endless Pindle runs she found Bartuc's Cut-Throat. However weapon slot isn’t in her rewards list. I was crying! :o It is gone to prize pool too. :hanky:

Next plan: Kill Ancients and Baal!

Last notable findings:
Titan's Revenge
War Traveler
The Minotaur
Demon Machine
Bartuc's Cut-Throat
Laying of Hands

:lol: Ha ha! You're the man, jiansonz... Forget about bending down and flipping heavy rocks, looking for loot. With that much MF the S/U's will grow little legs and backflip into your stash, already ID'd!

I just wanted to pop in and congratulate you all on the progress of this tournament. Very entertaining reads! I considered joining, but frequent switching between chars is not really my style. I prefer playing one character at a time, to the death. My hat's off to you...

Keep up the good work!
 
Hi everyone,

Had a looong (4 day) weekend, so found some time for DII, next to getting absolutely drunk like there was no tomorrow (which there wasn't). Basically lost a day somewhere, but oh well. I can play Diablo hungover, at least in normal. (Well, ah Fishy maybe in Hell as well).
So, some progress for all chars.

First the merovingian summoned his army and laid waste to meph, at about 120 MF, for a few times. No interesting results but he did hit lvl 32 before i had enough of it.

Next up Morpheus, who is already suffering from the lack of a good weapon (as i feared before). I actually dropped him to players 3 for clearing tal rasha's tomb, because of all the resurrecting monsters. I did invest in find potion afterwards just to get rid of corpses. He does well on his original scheme, now having about 1200 def, with concentrate and most monsters score only a 5% to hit against that. Still, have to find a lot better gear for him to make nightmare a nice place, let alone Hell. That's a long way off anyway.... So he beat the snot out of Duriel, and picked up a statue for a quick 20 extra life.

Last Persephone, the lady (well..) She got her tir-ral staff for fire goodness, and started blasting everything in her path. Once her merc was levelled to lvl. 16, and equipped a pike, nothing stopped them. I hit lvl 25 just before Duriel(cleared a few false tombs), so i could pound him with a nice lvl 5 meteor. Still 9 skill points left for when i hit lvl 30, so i can work on my Orb, together with masteries and meteor. She is a bit fragile, but i will go with the no block option, and plenty FRW. She also got a statue, and the first bodypart, put no real progress through the jungle.

Team the Matrix II (Gouda) – 44 points
Morpheus - (Barb – Warcries/Com.Skills) – lvl 26 – Act III Nml
Merovingian - (Necro - Summon/Curse) – lvl 32 – Act IV Nml
Persephone - (Sorc Fire/Cold) – lvl 26 – Act III Nml

And that took me past mage11 again!! :)

Have fun, don't die

Hi everyone,

Mini update. Morpheus battered his way through the jungle, but failed to find the lower Kurats waypoint. So some more jungle coming up for him i'm afraid. Still, two bodyparts and a gidbinn for all his efforts. Also a few items for the stash, among which a beserkers hauberk, and some more random bits.
A lot of drops for his very low MF, that's for sure!
Anyway, just trying to get everyone past Meph, and then my Necro can start running Baal for some decent items. Feels strange though, praying for yellow drops.

@Psycho (I'm too lazy to find the keycodes for all those characters, or to cut and paste, but not too lazy to type something that took more effort than cutting & pasting.)

Do you want me to e-mail you my stash? I won't be creating a new set of chars to participate in the contest, and I also won't be taking from the prize stash should I be eligible for anything.

[highlight]Team Eddings (erimatbrad)[/highlight] - 311 points
Guardian Polgara - (Sorc - Light./Cold) - lvl 82 - Finished
Conqueror Liselle - (Amazon - Jav./Passive) - lvl 79 - Act V Hell
Conqueror Zedar - (Necro – P&B/Curse) - lvl 80 - Finished

Liselle made a run at the ancients. And failed miserably. She managed to kill one, get one to a third, and the LI one was at mostly full life before the potions and javs ran out. Hmm. I'll need to rethink my strategy, and bring *more* javelins. Lower Resistance charges did help, though, so perhaps with enough ammunition, I can take them.

I did manage to, eventually, make it through to Nihlithak. I finally rolled a map where the first two halls only had a few LIs. I managed to run through, throw a few furys when I got trapped, and make it to the final floor.

The first three times I ran into vipers. With very very strong poison attacks. This was a cause to run back to the stairs, portal to town, and quit.

Finally I made it and had freezing skeleton archers and the little boars that Nilly summons. I actually had an easy time of killing him, because I locked on and started furying (and he then ran away, getting me out of range). One NDE when he blew a body up next to me, but that's what potions are for.

I'll be doing boss running with Polgara, I think, to try and find Titan's for Liselle. Since I'm actively searching for -one- item, I have a feeling it won't go so well....

Two quests left, though, until supreme victory is mine!
 
TEAM Archoteuthis on the board! 25 points so far

already had a NDE w/ ikazushi in the catacombs. gotta look before i leap into dark rooms...

got a ral from countess. wonder what to do with it?

thanks for letting me in.

bigsquid

Ps. question: is rerolling maps okay? i have not done it yet, i thought i would check here first.

question: do we need to mule off every green item we find? seems like low level greens would not interest many players.

Rerolling is fine (if I remember right, somebody tell me different if I am wrong, please...I can't remember what I wrote, hehehe)...and you don't have to mule off EVERYTHING...but use your head. Obviously 30 Isenhart's Cases is going to be a bit much :)

Conqueror Iarde – (Amazon – Passive/Bow) – lvl 73 – Act V NM
Conqueror Rose – (Assassin – Shadow/Trap) – lvl 74 – Act V NM
Delon – (Paladin – Combat/Offensive) – lvl 31 – Act IV Nml – R.I.P. Infector of Souls

Both my girls finished Nightmare difficulty, including Cow Kings and Nihlathaks. “Larzuk will socket”, “Charsy will imbue” and “Anya will rename” quests are still active though. But we count them anyway.

Iarde, The Freezing Arrow Zon, had the easiest battles with all non Cold Immune normal monsters. They just stay frozen and wait for death! My freezing time is 18 seconds in normal, 9 seconds in NM and 4.5 seconds in Hell!!! For example, imagine frozen statues of Lister’s Pack, you’ll get the point.
Bosses are a bit harder, however no one can kill level 29 Valkyrie or stand long enough against crushing blows of Strength Lochaber Axe.
As conqueror she now use Wizendraw bow (-33% to enemy cold res) usually and Witchwild String against CI.
She is pumping all her dodge skills for herself, Valkyrie and Decoy. She will pump them till the end.

Rose, The Lightning Traps Assassin, starting to love players1 mode, where no one can stand against corpse explosions of level 28 Death Sentry. In battles without corpses she relies on 2k damage Lightning Sentry, level 29 Shadow Master and crushing blows of Strength Partizan of her mercenary.
She rewarded the merc, who helped her to achieve nice conqueror status, with Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest.
Now she will be pumping synergies of LS all the time.

Next task: level the girls on Baal.

Total Normal set/unique items in my prize stash: 356.
Total Exceptional set/unique items in my prize stash: 127.
Total Elite set/unique items in my prize stash: 1.
 
Hi everyone,

Had a little bit of time last night, and hit a straight run of incredible maps.
Starting out in lower Kurast, I hit the first templ to find Lam Esen's tomb, sewer entrance next to it, sewer lvl 2 around the corner, straight back up, waypoint next to that. Cross village, next village, cause way and a small side step to get the waypoint.
Beating the council was easy, since i left it on players one, just looking for some nice progress. In the durance the stairs to level 2 took a few minutes searching, but the waypoint and entrance to level 3 were almost next to me when i stepped into lvl 2. So i gave Meph a nice beating, leaping over the moat to avoid councilmembers. Total amount of monsters killed: less than a hundred (well something like that anyway) Total amount of points: 4!
I will need to level morpheus up a little bit though, but meph runs will do fine for that. I may even find a better weapon for him that way.....

Team the Matrix II (Gouda) – 49 points
Morpheus - (Barb – Warcries/Com.Skills) – lvl 28 – Act IV Nml
Merovingian - (Necro - Summon/Curse) – lvl 32 – Act IV Nml

Have fun, don't die

[highlight]Team Bavarian Forest (AndiDi) [/highlight] – 137 points
Resl – (Amazon – Passive/Bow) – lvl 24 – Act II Nml - 11 points - R.I.P. Duriel
Conqueror Hias – (Necro – Summon/Curses) – lvl 76 – Act I HELL - 69 points
Destroyer Sepp – (Paladin – Combat/Offensive) – lvl 70 – Act IV NM - 57 points

Hias: WP: Black Marsh - Last Quest: Rescued Cain
Sepp: WP: Harrogath - Last Quest: Nihlathak

Hias stepped into Hell for the first time. That wasn't as hard as I first expected it to be. I didn't hit the usual brick wall when entering hell. First i cleared the Den of Evil and got that one skill point.
Killing Bloodraven wasn't very difficult either.
Next up was Rescuing Cain. No problem there. It only took like 2 minutes to kill Griswold. He was stone skin. Before finishing this session I explored the whole Black Marsh and found the Waypoint and the entrance to the countess.

Recent Set/Unique Items:
- Iratha's Coil
 
Team Venom (Porius) – 42 points
Adder – (Amazon – Passive/Jav.) – lvl 28 – Act III Nml
Asp – (Assassin – Shadow/Trap) – lvl 29 – Act III Nml
Viper – (Necro – P&B/Curse) – lvl 28 – Act III Nml RIP - Sssark the Burning.

Not much of an update, really. Viper died really to my own stupidity than anything else. I still had potions, I had a lot of things I could have done, but there you go.

The only reason I haven't made more progress was it just took the wind out of me to have him die. I might try to get going again this weekend, but things are looking really busy.

Stay safe out there people.

Porius
 
There are things that you forget when you start playing after a long break. :grrr:

When I took the zealot into the Far Oasis, I managed to find this:

Nagelring
Ring
Required Level: 7
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 16
Fingerprint: 0xb5cea5cc
+57 to Attack Rating
Magic Damage Reduced by 3
Attacker Takes Damage of 3
30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

Instinct made me put it on, which led to me finding another unique and using it, too. So that's the end for me, I'll be sending the stash soon.
