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

If not, that's what curses are for!

If this tournament has taught me anything about necro's and playing them, especially in HC, it is how powerful curses are. IMO, the only crowd control measures that even come close to curses are a) Slow missiles, b) Howl, c) Cloak of Shadows (probably the most powerful of the non-necro measures).

However, each ofthe above has their limits. SM only applies to missiles attacks, howl doesn't work on uniques, and CoS doesn't work on bosses.

Curses > Bone Prison > Everything

As I recall you can't slow missiles Act Bosses. I tried about a dozen times fighting Normal Diablo but I could never get the sparklies to show on him.

Slow missiles also has the best "fun factor" of all the crowd control skills. You can get a sort of "Frozen Orb" effect from Achmel's skellie minions. It's really cool. Too bad it doesn't work on Council Member hydras.

NOTE: The above post was made by my non-scientific observations. If I'm wrong I'd like to know about it (unless it's obviously an opinion...) since I love Amazons...

About council hydras: I'll check, but I'm pretty sure SM works for hydras cast when the "curse" is in effect.

It doesn't work with act bosses either (I have tried with Mephy and his FO thingy).

Resl – (Amazon – Passive/Bow) – lvl 24 – Act II Nml - 11 points - R.I.P. Duriel
Conqueror Hias – (Necro – Summon/Curses) – lvl 81 – Act II HELL - 72 points
Conqueror Sepp – (Paladin – Combat/Offensive) – lvl 80 – Act III HELL - 84 points

Hias: WP: Lut Gholein - Last Quest: Killed Andariel
Sepp: WP: Kurast Docks - Last Quest: Killed Mephisto

Sepp fought his way throught Act 3. The jungles were no big problem for Sepp, because I am now going much slower and much more carefully about bosses (FE can be deadly). Found the two bodyparts rather quickly. I went through Kurast quickly just to get through with it. Travincal was fun. I meet Ismail Vilehand which was StoneSkin and Physically Immune. It took some time to kill him. A random Council Member dropped me a Demon's Arch. Sepp will use this to kill stuff in the Chaos Sanctuary. I hope this works.
The first Level of the Durance had these Undead Dolls. One of those gave me a nice NDE (my read bulb was empty). I think the only thing that saved me was 75% block and maxed holy shield. The second level was no problem. I found the Waypoint and the stairs to Level 3 faster than usual. Mephisto was a slow kill. This fight showed me, that I have to improve Sepps attack rating if I want to hit stuff in the coming acts.

Next up: Move Hias through Act 2.

Recent Set/Unique Items:
- Goblin Toe (The second)
- Angelic Halo
- Infernal Sign
- Sigon's Shelter (The third)
- Bloodtree Stump
- Demon's Arch
 
Sepp the Zealot has now maxed all the obvious skills: Sacrifice, Zeal, Holy Shield and Fanaticism.
He is now Level 80 and has 1 skill point saved. Where should I place the next skill points? Is Charge a good idea? Or maybe Vengeance to kill PI monsters?

Thanks for your help.

Conqueror Hera - (Ama Javelin/Passives) - Lvl 73 - Act 5 NM - 66 Points
Conqueror Hades - (Nec Poison/Curses) - Lvl 68 - Act 5 NM - 65 Points
Destroyer Fogged_Mirrors - (Sorc Lightning/Cold) - Lvl 64 - Act 5 NM - 53 Points

I was hoping to update with a trio of Conquerors, but FM is on permanent-"Getting the Party Ready for Hell" duty.

First: Hera

This lady is one fine piece of work. She cruised through Act 5, with no hiccups. The Ancients where a breeze, with no difficult mods and no LI's.

She also ran the entire WSK and Baal on /players8, easily smoking everything. She is by far the most powerful of the characters (except against LI's). Also, I just found a very nice 16x% ED, +18 max 5% LL Hyperion Jav to give to her. For her Conq reward, she now wears Tal's Crest, the most underrated and underused item in the game, IMO.

Also, she is wearing a brand new "Smoke" armor, and her resistances should be excellent in hell. She is also sporting a Kelpie Snare on swap, for smacking LI monsters in Hell.

Psycho: See my question below.

Hades:

This necro is only one quest short (Nilathek...ouch on the spelling) of Hera. He's excellent at killing at /players3, but no more, and is incapable of killing at higher player settings. He still is the safest of the characters, expecially with Spear, Prison and Bone Wall maxed. All that is left is Bone Sprit, which should be maxed by the time I make Guardian.

The ancients were easy, and although my merc died, decrep and some bone prisons helped slow down the ancients and their charged bolts (two were LE).

Res on Hades is questionable right now, but some extra charms and a new armor and helm (hopefully another Vipermagi and Rockstopper, or a nice rar circlet, which I haven't begun gambling for yet) will suit him nicely.

My only worry with him is his lack of mass killing ability. If I can't run on a higher players setting, how will I level effeciently, especially in prep for hell? Any hints from the boner necros before me (erimatbrad...)?

Fogged_Mirrors:

Like I said, she is on permanent "Prepare the party for Hell" duty right now, running countess and Meph in search of the above items and a few runes (namely shael for a Rhyme necro head and an Io for a White wand). I'll push her to Conq later tonight I think, and I'm not worried about the run for Baal, only the ancients, as I always am.

Psycho, here's a rules question:

If my character has "weapons" selected as my reward slot, can I have a unique/set/crafted on each weapon swap since I am only using one at a time, and one does not affect the other?

Good luck everyone!

I would like to introduce my triumvirate, a trio of conquerors!

FM was the last of them, completing Baal on /p8 (minions on 8 except for lister, on /p3)

She cruised through NM Act 5, teleporting most of the outside areas.

The Ancients were easy, the only hard part was that Mawdawc was LI/CI, so I had to tele on top of him and let my merc take him down.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my HC performance. All that is left is to prep for hell, which includes leveling and finding more items.

Hades also cleared out Nihlathek, quite handily.

Not much of an update but CRG is hot on my heels so I need to make every point count :xsmile4:

Steel and Poison defeated Radament. I did find a nice 5-soc Grim Scythe to go along with my 3-soc one. The only problem is waiting for my Merc to meet the Dex requirements (which should be around lvl 80). I also bought a nice pair of boots:

Amber Light Plated Boots of Transportation
Defense: 10
Durability: 18 of 18
Required Strength: 50
Required Level: 57
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 78
Fingerprint: 0xd077f272
Lightning Resist +38%
30% Faster Run/Walk
85% Slower Stamina Drain

I'll be out of town again so game on when I get back CRG!
 
Time for another update, everybody! As I promised many pages back, those who have not bothered updating their team's progress have been taken off the list. If you wish to be added back, please, by all means, tell me and there will be no problem. The only reason I am doing this is to make the scoreboard less of a hassle to scroll through for everybody else. Now to answer a question and then we'll get on with the show!

Yes, that is perfectly within the confines of the rules ;).

At this stage I must remind everybody that there is no time limit in this tournament. People have rushed characters at times but there is no need to hurry like that. This is Hardcore, so treat your characters well. I've noticed a few people playing in other tournaments and neglecting their characters here a little - that is fine also, because they have remembered that this tournament will continue as long as it needs to :) - just don't forget about it altogether is all I ask!

Perfect timing for an update. :thumbsup:
Hias went through Act 2. Except for the Maggot Lair (took a long time to get through, but not dangerous), the journey was rather uneventfull. I didn't find much items for the price stash either.
Now I have cleared the way to play Hias through to Guardian (if he doesn't die on the way). I will have to think about it.

My chars have yet to enter Hell, and are in Act 5 NM.

It is the way I format the scoreboard. People are used to it by now ;)...they know that if there's a 2 Act difference between characters, it is because one has finished a difficulty. It keeps my end of the scoring a little easier to handle (when I double-check scores).
 
As Nemar would say - Be afraid - we are back!

I'm now on a splint that allows me movement, so I'm able to reach my keyboard and play D2 again.

I took Starm for a short spin on the weekend, and she breezed past Hephasto, smashed the Soulstone and had a bit of a look around the rest of the River of Flame (basically to level up). No real problems at this stage, and looking forward to beating Diablo and getting that 50th point.

Current Status:

[highlight]Team Mage1 (Mage11) [/highlight] – 49 points
Sara – (Amazon – Passive/Bow) – lvl 26 – Act III Nml - 12 points
Klaudia – (Assassin - MA/Shadow) – lvl 31 – Act III Nml - 17 points
Starm – (Sorc - Cold/Light.) – lvl 33 – Act IV Nml - 20 points
 
[highlight]Team Renewal - Points: 199[/highlight][/B]
Conqueror Hera - (Ama Javelin/Passives) - Lvl 74 - Act 1 Hell - 67 Points
Conqueror Hades - (Nec Poison/Curses) - Lvl 69 - Act 5 NM - 66 Points
Conqueror Fogged_Mirrors - (Sorc Lightning/Cold) - Lvl 72 - Act 5 NM - 66 Points

Ladies and gentlemen, I have taken my first step into hell. And I kinda liked it.

Hera, being of sound body and equipment, has now completed the first quest in hell on /players3. Once again, I realized how drastic the difference between NM and Hell really is. It is amazing.

I was also rather pleased with her resistences (75/75/75/72).

I now realize just how slow one must go in Hell to not get slaughtered. Even in the Blood Moor, there were at least a few boss packs very close to one another, close enough my LF was targeting them off screen, thus awakening them.

Speaking of LF, the skill is one thing. Complete and total non-LI ranged dominance. Then there is CS. Complete and total melee non-LI dominance. But what am I going to do when I run into packs of LI's? I'm immediately thinkabout the battle with Blood Raven (I think the zombies are LI), and later in the Catacombs with the lightining-ball-of-death spitters. I can't just Jab away at them and hope to live long.

So what do I do? LF, CS and Valk are all maxed out, Pierce is at 49% (or something close) and although my D/A/E are not where I want them to be, I can live with them at their level if I can get in another killing skill? So what do I do? Do I max Plague Jav? Do I go with passives? What about Fend? AHHHH!! I don't know what to do with my further skill points!

Any advice would be appreciated.

As for the other chars, FM dropped the Cow King and Nith, both handily, and is (still) running the Countess for an Io and Shael rune, and Meph for a Vipermagi. With that, I should be able to take the entire crew into hell.

Goo luck everyone!

Well poop: I realized what I did "wrong," if that can be said.

I read through some Ama guides, and lo and behold, there is the answer, right there.

In building my Zon, I failed to realize that getting a synergy for LF only grants 1% damage, yet LF still kills everything. I maxed CS, and LF synergizes nicely, CS is not necessary, and I could kill just fine without it. This leaves me another skill to be able to max.

So I could have gone 20 LF, 20 Plague Jav, 20 Valk and the rest goes to D/A/E, pierce and finally, Poison Jav, for two forms of attack outside of the physical. Great. I'll make due, I guess.

Well...

I'd consider putting points into PJ (take your pick -- the higher level one would be better, imo). I generally let my merc and valk handle LIs, though. I only really had to jump in and assist against the ancients (which is where I figured out the PJ thing, as I had charges of it).

Hera should be able to get a pretty decent level of it, really. Especially with the 4 quest skill points coming your way, along with the 10 or more levels you'll get...

At the very worst, you'll at least be able to slow down (or stop entirely) LI bosses from healing while your merc and valk kill them :)
