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

Greetings everybody!

I know how hard it can be to come back from a single death, Porius, but just remain focused on your goals and don't let yourself go on till you have made up for the loss in gear. It is important to send characters out with the best gear possible in this situation to search for replacements for what they've lost. In the last tournament I sent a very ill-equipped Necromancer out to his death. It's best not to make the same mistake :drink:

I am also glad to see people who have not updated in a while making their return. It just goes to show that this tournament is here to stay and that its members do not forget too easily that they are participants...welcome back, Online :)

Not too much to report from my characters except that I've decided to hit Hell at lvl 75 with Martabian, the Druid. All things considered, he's doing quite well and more surprisingly, the Merc and Bear are handling the situation better than I expected. The Den of Evil quest has been completed, along with a very annoying albeit easy Blood Raven and Deckard Cain has also been rescued, making this entrance into Hell quite easy. But I know worse is yet to come. I cannot wait to find the Tower to start doing some Countess runs.

@Porius: That sucks. I've had chars get "stuck" before. The way to unstick if you're clicking & turning but not moving is to cast a TP and click on that. *poof* You're unstuck! Or save & exit.

Be Afraid, we are back !

So Diablo is going to fight Diablo. bad stage for the merc, he can't survive with stupid spell from monster. same from walkirie but I can summon her without cost of monney.

A big problem with diablo, I can't break he's bone prison, only one way is to make a tp and return to town. off course I must take the wp becose he make a bone prison also on the tp ! I must do it 3 times.
after the guided arrow and some cold arrow make the victory mine.

act V is not the more difficult for a bowazon, the slow missile is a fantastic small spell here. the merc and the walkyrie open the way with the barbars !
2 quests done and 2 wp founded.
 
@nemar: Good luck, hope you don't get FE on the Ancients!

@everyone else surviving: Keep posting, don't get sucked into the other tourneys!
 
Good luck, Nemar! The Guardian's Circle is lonely, and Team Eddings could use some company!

I know that Liselle didn't have any trouble in Act V until the ancients. They were the toughest part of my entire journey (and I couldn't have done it without Plague Javelin due to an LI ancient), but it was smooth clean sailing after they fell!

Hahahah...
No joke. This thing keeps falling to page 4 and 5. I'm thinking about creating a new triumvirate to regale readers with, even if they're not available to win the prize.

A Windy/Trapper/Magezon trio would probably do nicely.

That sounds interesting to me, actually. If you're serious, Hiedran, I'd enjoy taking a second trip too (and if I make it far enough, will pass along the goodies I win to the ultimate winner anyway)... and it'd be nice to have someone to swap stories with.

With that, I'd like to present (for exhibition purposes only... as I already have a set in the Circle), and because I want 7 Guardians...:

Don't worry I'm not in another tourney. However, I moved this weekend and right now I couldn't even tell you which box D2 is packed in.
 
Hello all!

Just your regular scoreboard update happening now that we've hit page 120. Things are starting to slow down as we hit exam and holiday periods, but never fear, things will get rolling again in the next few months. It's a cycle that continues everywhere.

Damn,

just too late for the scoreboard.
Oh well, progress updat anyway. Had some time last weekend, but a lot of it was spend MFing. But after running hell andariel about 30 - 40 times (trying to find some nice jewelry), i decided to start up my TWD chars.

First up was Persephone, since she was badly lagging. All went very well, allthough after the MFing i couldn't get into the full clear spirit, so just killed whatever i encountered, and proceeded. At top speed Andariel was reached and killed by ~3 meteors, because i tuned it down to players 1 for security. Rather dissappointing to be honest. She got herself a new merc and then retired into Atma's for a refreshing drink.

After that the Merovingian cleared the palace cellars in quick time, 3 of the wings of the arcane sanctuary (With merc and flying revives). After that one false tomb, but i got bored with those. So I splattered the big bug on players three, without a single skellie dying.
Bolstered by my easy progress i went out hunting for the golden bird quest, but ended up finding the first bodypart as well. Not a bad day all in all, as meph is coming closer by the day.

[highlight]Team Anti-Melee (Hiedran)[/highlight] - 3 points
Zephyr - L14 Dr00d (Elem/Summ) - Act I - 3 points: Forgotten Tower
Electra - L1 Assassin (Trap/Shadow) - Act I - 0 points: Den of Evil
Shiva - L1 Amazon (B&A/Passive) - Act I - 0 points: Den of Evil

Zephyr had fun blowing through the first portion of Act I. (Zephyr, blowing, get it? Ah, nevermind.) The sad thing is Aliza, the fire rogue, does more damage than he does. Then again, she's got a long bow with a ruby, sapphire, and a poison jewel. (Those are chipped gems.) I'm glad I found a PMH short sword, 'cause I wouldn't have found Aliza without it. Blood Raven is a pain on /p8, and I had to return to town quite a bit to restock after killing all the zombies. It probably would have been a little easier if I had remembered I'm going after 1 point in Grizzly and then could spend the skill point in Spirit Wolf.

CRAP! I forgot to go through the mausoleum and crypt!

We now return to your regularly scheduled update.

Arctic Blast is doing decent damage for now, but I have to drain the mana pool to kill one enemy. (I remember my naked Battle.Net Druid in the 1.08/1.09 days, pure Arctic Blast. I was pked as I was "offered" the Durance 2 WP in nightmare. *grumble*)

Cain was awed by the archery skills of the rogue as we cleared out the monsters in Tristram. (He didn't have much else to do, hanging in the cage.) He was underwhelmed by the abilities of the druid, though, as all Zephyr seemed good for was playing tag with Griswold. Ah, the joys of Tempting Fate. Made much easier when Aliza was sticking him full of cold enchanted fire arrows. And a Spirit Wolf to take the heat as Zephyr "strategically reverse advanced" from the slow punches of Griswold.

Thinking about the awe inspiring skills of Aliza, she was the first merc I've ever had stand toe to toe with Treehead Woodfist and take him down without any help from me. Is Zephyr the one with the quest to stop Diablo, or is it Aliza? Maybe I'll ditch her for one of the Iron Wolves so I don't feel so inferior.
 
@erimatbrad and Hiedran: This is a very good idea.

I was still searching for another thing to do in me free time.

The items that I find while playing with this second team will be donated into the price stash for all the other winners. This time I will only put duplicate exceptional or elite items into the stash.

So here I present:

[highlight]Exhibition Team Bavarian Forest II[/highlight] - 0 points
Franz - Barb (Warcries/Combat) – lvl 1 – Act I Nml - 0 points
Mich - Necro (Bone/Curse) – lvl 1 – Act I Nml - 0 points
Theres - Sorc (Fire/Ice) – lvl 1 – Act I Nml - 0 points

Rewards:
Franz: D: Jewlery C: Glove
Mich: D: Jewlery C: Armor
Theres: D: Jewlery C: Weapon

I like playing Barbarians very much and I am now trying my hands on a hardcore one. I am still undecided if I should do a berserker with double handed axes and Warcry as a secondary skill (for Stun) or if I should do a Concentrator.
Mich will be a Necro with Bone Spear, Bone Spirit, Bone Prison and Bone Wall. Theres will be a Meteorb sorceress. I will try to gamble or buy something with teleport charges.

I would advice you to play a berserker, as my concentrator is not the best in defense, lacking a very good armor (and they are too expensive to gamble)
and very very slow in killing stuff. this is only early nightmare and he's already having serious troubles. So not the best choice for semi - untwinked play. Still if you like a challenge, you can try to catch me (also a meteorb, concentrator, but a skellymancer)

[highlight]Exhibition Team Eddings II (erimatbrad) -- 4 points[/highlight]

Belgarath (Elemental / Summoning) - lvl 11 - Act I - 4 pts
Eriond (Offensive / Defensive) - lvl 1 - Act I - 0 pts
Cyradis (Traps / Shadow) - lvl 1 - Act I - 0 pts

Belgarath has whacked his way through the Den of Evil, knocked Blood Raven square on her bow-wielding behind, cut Cain from his gibbet, and defeated the nefarious Countess (several times).

Part of me loves a new character, because it's usually care-free and easy going, but part of me always hates it too because you never get your skills until late in the game.

Only 1 NDE so far, and that's thanks to a boss archer and his minions... and the archer was packing Holy Freeze. Yech.

Part of me wishes I had picked helm as a prize for Belg, but I doubt I'll find a unique druid helm. Anyway, as you can see, I learned from last time, and will be making a lot of crafted rings and amulets with these characters this time...

Will (exhibition) Team Eddings II be triumphant again? I don't know the answer to that. But I'm feeling lucky.... :)
 
Thanks for the update, Psycho. I can't believe you had to split it into two posts. I'll have to try to get on the first page now!

I'm not sure if I like this restarting one - you'll probably catch me before I'm through NM. I can see it now - how many Guardians can you make before Mage11 finishes the tourney! :rolleyes:

Starm has progressed well through Act V, having rescued Anya and blasted Nihlathak. Nihlathak was quite rewarding, dropping a nice unique wand and one of his minions gave me an amulet. A Mahim-Oak Curio, but still OK.

Current Status:

[highlight]Team Mage1 (Mage11) [/highlight] – 83 points

Starm – (Sorc - Cold/Light.) – lvl 41 – Act V Nml - 25 points
 
Team Blackadder are still making their VERY slow way through the tourney. Edmund is slogging it out in Act III having made it to Kurast and found the Tome. Next up is the Council, but I don't want to face them until level 30 when I'll have my bear as back-up.
