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

[highlight]Team Renewal - Points 85[/highlight]
Destroyer Hera - (Ama Javelin/Passives) - Lvl 46 - Act 5 Norm - 31 Points
Hades - (Nec Poison/Curses) - Lvl 37 - Act 5 Norm - 22 Points
Destroyer Fogged_Mirrors - (Sorc Lightning/Cold) - Lvl 51 - Act 1 NM - 32 Points

Hera made destroyer just a few minutes ago, rocking Baal on /p8 with a massive set of charged strike. After that, she cruised the Cow level, finding a bit of green and gold, and now she is resting.

Fogged_Mirrors also untook the task of the cow level. No bovine could withstand her Frozen Orbs.

I will now resume to my regularly scheduled homework.

Nemar: Gratz on the Guardian!

TEAM Archoteuthis update: alls hell that ends hell

Squidonastick (fire druid with summon support): level 77 Hell Act IV
calamari (fishymancer w/out CE): level 80 Hell Act V
ikazushi (cold sorc w/ lightning accents): level 77 Hell Act IV

= 249 points

found quite a few elite uniques. Eshuta’s temper, arioc’s needle, bonehew, nord’s tenderizer come to mind. Im sure there are others I am forgetting besides the doombringer and others mentioned earlier.

How exactly do the prizes in the tournament get distributed? I don’t recall seeing that explained anywhere—obviously that was not my motivation for joining.

Thank you all for your advice re Hell duriel for ikazushi. I took to heart the advice re leveling her before trying again. Ancient Tunnels were a big hit—thanks especially for that tip. Calamari found an Arioc’s needle, which his merc is not allowed to use, but ikazushi’s merc (and squidonastick’s merc) could use it….but it required level 81. so there I am leveling ikazushi when a 308%ED bonehew drops. ACT II mercs can use it as is when they reach level 76, so I slapped 2 amns in, coupled with an 8%LL rare circlet = 22%LL!

What a difference a big weapon with big leach makes! Duriel dropped like a rock to the recommended teleport /blast strategy. I never used blizzard (my main cold spell), just teleport and left click.

She ran act III straight through with half a dozen NDE’s here and there (ruined temple and durance), and got bogged in ACT IV with the stygian hags barfing up dogs faster than merckie could killem. She is by far my most challenging character to play. Nearly dies all the time when I get a little teleport happy. I will finish her up last, and I will be stunned if she survives act V. but I just found an Echuta’s temper, so her skills will all go up (second reward = weapon).

Squidonastick has 2000 life with level 14 oakie. Doesn’t have many NDE, but sure goes slow. Painful slow in act IV, but should be able to complete the game.

Calamari strolls along with his horde, max resists w/ a dwarfstar to boot. (first reward = jewelry). Should complete the game with minimal trouble. Knock on wood.

Thanks again for finding a way to make the game fun.
 
Hi everyone,

congratulations on the progress everyone, I can see quite a few people finishing with Guardians this time.

I played a few hours over the weekend, and decided to advance morpheus to act V, since i got bored of him not getting anywhere. So I first levelled him to 30, to get that point in berserk before the IM curse.
After that i Walked through the chaos sanctuary at players 1, not caring about any XP, since there is plenty of XP to be had in act V. He beat Diablo very quickly, only the firebreathing bats were somewhat dangerous.
In act V he immediately leveled, while finishing the first two quests. I made 8 lvls, with only one partial rerun.
After that i got tired of the slow killing speed, so sunday it was time for run with Persephone, killing Nihlatak and clearing all the hals at players 8. After that I moved on to the next waypoint after the icy way.
A few finds along the way, but i don't remember anything shocking. Did manage to cube/find up to a sol and an amn rune by now, so even that is not really worth it.

Team the Matrix II (Gouda) – 79 points
Morpheus - (Barb – Warcries/Com.Skills) – lvl 38 – Act V Nml (Looking for Anya)
Merovingian - (Necro - Summon/Curse) – lvl 50 – Act V Nml (Finished)
Persephone - (Sorc Fire/Cold) – lvl 44 – Act V Nml (Getting ready for the ancients)

Have fun, don't die

Mmm we'll see. I've had no problems with loading times for this thread and am on dialup, so perhaps things are slow with your ISP today, I do not know. I don't recall the length of a thread having any bearing on the loading time of a single page :)

The first three places shall send a copy of their characters to me for verification (just a safety precaution), and then I shall distribute all prizes to them once I have received all prize packs from participants.

Perhaps I shall make it a top five, depending on how things go :)
 
I have a question about prizes, as well.

Specifically, Runes. At what point do we put those in the prize stashes? The reason I ask is that I have found a dole and an amn rune and I don't know if those are prize worthy or if I am able to keep them.

Porius

edit: Oh, and I'll post my progess once I have some. :thumbsup:
 
Not many runes are handed in as prizes. Most are usually kept and used or stashed on characters (and lost at death). You can hand in runes as a part of prizes, and they will be divided up in the same way as the other prize items.

Hades cruized through a small chunk of Act 5, and is sitting at the Ancients Way wp. He'll make Destroyer tonight, after homework of course.

Raises hand and votes for this, considering the amount of participants.

I second this motion.

No update from me as I'm still plodding along with my Low Level Tourney pally. Hope to come back to Edmund, Queenie and Nursie soon though (but not too soon as it will mean that the pally is dead :( )
 
[highlight]Team Renewal - Points: 102[/highlight]
Destroyer Hera - (Ama Javelin/Passives) - Lvl 50 - Act 1 NM - 35 Points
Destroyer Hades - (Nec Poison/Curses) - Lvl 46 - Normal completed - 31 Points
Destroyer Fogged_Mirrors - (Sorc Lightning/Cold) - Lvl 54 - Act 1 NM - 36 Points

Here's my last update before the holiday:

Hades made Destroyer today and cleared the Cow level as icing on the cake.

Hera is resting at the Outer Cloister.

FM is the farthest of the trio, and is in the Inner Cloister right now. She had one scary (not NDE, mind you) experience. In the Jail, I ran into three boss packs, all archers in the same room. I know for a fact one was MSLE, the other Extra Strong, Extra Fast. The other was just there, and he had minor mods (He died first and I didn't see him go until his drop). Anyway, with only 55ish LR, teleporting through the room, Orbing everything knocked me down a few times. It was not enjoyable, and my heart was pumping.

After that, FM was assigned to Countess running and gambling duty. I was hoping for some shaels, and ended up with plenty of runes Eth-Ort (which were cubed up) and one Dol (my second one). Gambling was much more productive, and each character's resists are higher thanks to Gloves/Belt/Boots gambling.

Have fun over the holidays!

Ooh, that´s ED! Extra Dead enchanted. A boss so powerfully dead, you are amazed by its ability. :lol:

ED roams the Sanctuary and possesses unwary bosses from time to time. There is no way for a boss to avoid ED if that happens.
 
Team Venom (Porius) – 80 points

Destroyer Adder – (Amazon – Passive/Jav.) – lvl 48 – Act I NM
Destroyer Asp – (Assassin – Shadow/Trap) – lvl 44 – Act I NM
Viper – (Necro – P&B/Curse) – lvl 25 – Act III Nml RIP Szark the Burning

Whew! That was cool. Got both Asp and Adder through Baal last night. Adder got nothing of note, but Asp got Bonesnap and a Dark Clan Crusher from Baal.

No real issues. Asp had an easier time of it than Adder, but neither were in any particular danger. I still have to do the cow level, but it was too late to worry about that.

Stay safe!

Hello everybody!
Wow, I didn't post here for quite a while. No progress in this tourney (and D2 generally) either. School is taking up my time, as well as the upcoming DSD (Deutsche Sprachdiplom) exam. In my free time I played mostly NWN.
But I'll be back to playing D2 sooner or later. Congratulations to all of you who've made good progress in this tourney! (ouch, I've lost quite a lot of places)
Anyway I'll check in from time to time, to see how this tourney evolves. There are already 3 Guardians! :clap:
Hope to see more of them next time I log in.
Good luck!

Conqueror Diablo .- Amazon - Passive / bow .......... – lvl 81 - 84 points – actIV - Hell
Be Afraid, we are back !

another try in cow village but with players 1 this time, it's more easy and the king is killed. but it's not the end, some gambling to do, and some run to find some items for the rest of the team.
 
Way to go nemar, one more 110-pointer to the collection! :clap:


BTW, is there a specific reason you named your male contender after a female demon and your females after male demons?
 
no , andariel for the poison ability of the necromancer
baal because it's the more powerful demon and an assassin is the more powerful char (shadow master+blade fury+death centry)

diablo for the distance attack (mephisto should be better but it was better for alphabetic reason) and bone prison for the decoy
