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

Hi everyone,

Managed to finish act II with my sorc yesterday, clearing the arcane sanctuary and just the true tomb. So only one level gained, and little loot.
But i am looking forward to act II and blasting away little annoying twerps with Frozen Orb. NOT.
Oh well, hopefully a nice meph running map for Persephone and some new goodies for Morpheus.

A quick update, to match the quick effort with Sara. I had about 40 minutes to spare, so I thought I'd get Sara closer to the end of Normal. I was expecting to be able to reach the Ancient's Way waypoint from the Frozen Tundra waypoint.

What actually happened was that I found the exit to the Arreat Summit first, with plenty of time left, so I decided to give the Ancients a go, and then try to find the WSK2 waypoint. It went perfectly. The Ancients were a breeze at players 1, and didn't require any potions, despite Sara fighting one at a time in melee (she started with Korlic to stop him from leaping, and was tanking Talic at the time). The WSK was easily traversed, and she got to the waypoint in time (and it's close to the WSK3 stairs.

So a couple of levels, one more point, and she should be taking on Baal soon (and then we'll have the 100 points up).

Mich - Necro (Bone/Curse) – lvl 36 – Act V Nml - 24 points
Theres - Sorc (Fire/Ice) – lvl 40 – Act V Nml - 24 points

Franz - WP: Harrogath - Last Quest: Killed Diablo
Mich - WP: Crystalline Passage - Last Quest: Rescued Anya
Theres - WP: Frozen Tundra - Last Quest: Rescued Anya

First some progress for Mich: I took him up the Bloody Foothills. Killed Shenk and rescued the Barbarians to get the runes. Then I hired a new Barbarian Merc. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a mistake.
I then took my new merc through Arreat Plateau and into the Crystalline Passage. From there we went without much in the way to slow us down into the Frozen River to rescue Anya. After rescuing here I stopped for the moment.

Next up I started out with Theres for more monster mass destruction. The outdoor areas didn't hold me up for long. The underground passages had the first monsters that had enough cold resistance to slow down my killing speed. But some Meteor and Fireball action took care of those too. Anya was rescued without much trouble. On the way I found a circlet with 26% MF which got socket with 2 prefect topazes. She now runs around with slightly over 100% MF. I begin to see more rare items but only find crappy uniques.

Franz - WP: Harrogath - Last Quest: Killed Diablo
Mich - WP: Crystalline Passage - Last Quest: Rescued Anya
Theres - WP: Cold Plains - Last Quest: Killed Bloodraven

Theres started of the session with a quick visit to the Ancients. Quick, because they died very quick (even on players 4, as I forgot to turn it down to 1). Then she went on into the WSK. No problems or surprises here. I found the WP and the stairs to the throne.
The Throne had flying witches and Blood Lords. The Lords could not be frozen by my orbs, but they died to them. Then came the throne room. The first wave was quickly dispatched, the second died to some meteors. The third wave of Council Members managed to kill the merc, but otherwise died after a quick trip to town to get him back. The forth wave was dispatched faster than I had expected after my encounter with the Infector.
Then came the fifth wave and I was surprised to see them falling without any problems at all (I never had such a save fight against them, expect maybe with my Skellimancer in the last run of this tourney).
Baal took some time to kill, he killed my merc twice after he cloned himself. But everytime I went to town to get the merc back, the clone disapeared. He dropped only yellow items that weren't much use.
After that surprising simple fight against Baal I went after Nihlathak. Oh come on, not even the halls were a challenge for Theres. And Nihlathak died after a few Meteors onto his platform.
The only thing that's left in Normal to do was to kill the Cow King. Theres made huge amounts of frozen beef in a very short time. So no more challenges left in Normal. It was now time to start into Nightmare and begin the Countess running routine.

Ok, I see others have just begun, so I will join them. I am completely out of ideas, and this is one of the most interesting tournaments I've ever seen.

Team Fatneck

Fatneck_Bone
Necro (summon,curse)Destroyer weapon, conqueror hat

Fatneck_Zappa
Zon (Jav/spear,passive)Destroyer weapon, conqueror merc weapon

Fatneck_Freezer
Sorc (cold,lightning)Destroyer weapon, conqueror armor

It starts tonight. I might change the reward slots, but it will be before I actually start playing tonight. I need to plan a little more.

Edit: switched my reward slots.
 
Ron, I'm afraid that the tournament close date was several months ago. If you wish, you may enter this team as an exhibition team, however the actual proper tournament is already under way...

Apologies. When this tournament is complete however, there should be another one.

Heh, yeah I saw that the actual tournament signup cutoff was 13 Sept.

I didn't mean that I was actually competing. I should have made that more clear to avoid looking like a knucklehead:P

I am very much looking forward to the start of the next one, I figured this one would be a good way to iron out some strategies and get back into the swing of HC play. I also understand that the rules my change for the TWDIII.

Fatneck_Bone beat andy last night at level 16. I found a few decent rares to use, and one of my most hated uniques Leadcrow the lame crossbow. I am already dreading the fact that I won't have CE later in the game.

Faneck_Zappa took the Stony WP before I went to bed last night.

Fatneck_Freezer is still hanging in the rogue camp hoping one of the others finds a few fcr rings to help her along. I did snag a nice orb with +3 CB +1 FA.
 
Just checking in to save this thread from page 4.

Nice to see everyone is progressing well. Hope to see more Guardians in this tourney.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update, with news from persephone, my sorc. She cleared a lot of forests and swamp, and after that a bunch of kurast boroughs. In contrast to the last few runs she found a Pul rune, first step towards a lovely gloom or stone armor for my barb. Been finding a lot of low level runes as well, so i now have 5 amn's cubed up, which i don't want to cube further because they can be usefull.
After the kurast area's she easily killed the council, and found the waypoint in the durance. She did progress towards meph, but the map is as usual very bad. Unfortunately i got disturbed by a phone call while engaging Meph, so the game is now paused with meph at about half life. Hopefully my GF won't close it, but we'll see. It shouldn't be too difficult to find him again.

Plan for this week: work a lot of hours, to make up for missing friday (it was snowing very badly in the Netherlands so i didn't feel like leaving the house)
Finish of Meph with Persephone, an drunning Meph a few more times afterwards. Hiopefully I'll find a good map, but otherwise i'll quit after about 10 runs. I am also considering a few lower kurast runs, for runes mostly.

Not much to update. February's Meph runs have been slow and haven't yeilded anything useful to me yet. March has only completed one more quest. Both chars are currently in a if-I-go-farther-without-better-eq-I'll-die kind of holding pattern...
 
Considering the slow pace of the tournament at the moment, would anybody have any objections to scoreboard updates being present every 5 pages instead of every 10? Just to keep things moving a little.

I don't know how, but you always seem to do this just before I update, Psycho. Great to see anyway. Personally, I'd be happy to see more frequent updates.

The 100 points has been reached (and surpassed). Sara has defeated Baal, and continued through the start of NM. She has now reached the stony field waypoint, having cleared the Den of Evil and slain Blood Raven.

Seeing how Mage is slowly creeping closer, i played a bit yesterday to defend my 24th position (if i counted right).
So Persephone finished act III, killing Meph a couple of times. again no good maps, but a few decent runes dropped from random monsters and chests along the way. A Sheal and a Lum were the highest ones. Other than that another bonesnap dropped by meph and a few random green items. My sorc doesn't have much MF, so not much was expected.
After that a few tries for a good map by the Merovingian, but that got me nothing, except for another level.

Have fun, don't die,

Gouda :cool:

edit: yes, more frequent updates would be good!
 
Hey hey! Forgive me brothers for I have sinned, it has been something like 4 months since my last update, but I'm still in the race. Good to see you crazy fools have been scooting ahead through hell on underlevelled characters. I'm still leveling, on Meph, Pit, Countess and Mausoleum runs, and it looks like I've still got the highest character average.

Team Tolkien (CraZySorc) – 234 points
Conqueror Arwen - (Assassin - Shadow/MA) – lvl 86 – Act II Hell
Conqueror Boromir - (Barb - Warcries/Com.Skills) – lvl 82 – Act II Hell
Conqueror Galadriel - (Sorc - Light./Fire) – lvl 84 – Act IV Hell

Give or take a point...I don't have long here, so I just threw on the extra 6 from the Barbarian completing Act II. Arwen's done Radament, and Galadriel's Meph running but is waiting for Arwen before she tackles Izual. Feel free to correct my Math, it's been a bit off lately (as Psycho will testify from our recent Blackjack games...).

Mostly item updates...and its sad to say, but I haven't found all that much considering my gametime. Just an hour here and there, sometimes no more than an hour a week, but I've done the math and it adds up. On a bright note, Boromir is using Doombringer, with Windhammer as a swap for bosses. Arwen has both Natalya's Mark and a Shadow Killer, and Galadriel finally has her Skin of Vipermagi and Magefist.

Items of note donated to the prize mule are:
Horizon's Tornado (which Doombringer replaced)
Jade Talon
Darksight Helm
Death Cleaver
Eschuta's Temper
Nord's Tenderizer
Verdungo's Hearty Cord

I have found several very nice rare circlets, with +2 to skills, resists, lifeleech and such, but nothing for the classes I play. Most of them get palmed off to a seperate mule, which Psycho may claim as prizes if he wants, and which will otherwise go the the local ATMA dump and perhaps one day used in a non-tourney HC character. Many low to mid level sets, and several interesting rare gloves and rings.

I also found a 3-socket Ethereal Giant Thresher for Cresent Moon. Diabloii.net advertised this runeword as 220-260% ED, so I felt ripped off when I only got 183%! Should have checked against the Arreat Summit, or maybe my downloaded pages are just old. Anyway, it still does over 100-400 damage, so I'm not complaining. With a life-leach circlet to swap around, my mercs are now surviving even the toughest fights.

I also grabbed 3-socket Shadow Plate, into which went Lionheart, upgrading from my old Lionhearted Tigulated Mail. The difference in defence is really noticable on Boromir, despite the lack of ED% mods on Lionheart.
I am searching for one more Um rune (or one more Pul...I have 2, so with one more I can craft up and still have a leftover Pul) to create either Gloom or Stone. I haven't decided which yet. Gloom gives a +45 to resistances compared to Stone's +15, but Stone has a much larger defence bonus, a big bonus to hit recovery, better stat bonuses, yadda yadda.
I have a 4-socket Superior Ornate Plate with 495 defense, and here's what I really don't get...that's more defense than I found on Sacred Armour! Even the Shadow Plate only had 528 base defense. What's the point of waiting so long for an elite armour for a measly 30 to base defense, when Ornate Plate is so easily obtainable? The explaination, of course, is the random setting of base defense, but damn it looks weird when I find Ornate Plate with more defense than Sacred Armour...oh well. Now Arwen won't need her strength charms.

One other thing I'm missing is a good rare low-damage claw with big elemental damage stats. I used two such claws in the Chaos Sanctuary and WSK in nightmare, and didn't have to worry about Iron Maiden so much, which was a huge relief and perhaps a life-saving decision on several occasions. But I don't see the damage I currently have on them working in Hell, even with maxed Venom - 1-160 lightning damage on one, 85-165 fire on the other. I really need cold damage for the CS, though the current setup will at least allow me to kill off the Oblivion Mages themselves. How much damage can you get off a charm? Something to think on.

Galadriel is ready to tackle just about anything, with over 6k damage on meteor and 600-800 odd on Nova, with decent cast-rate and well-rounded resists. Boromir has maxed shout, BO, beserk and concentrate, and now places points into Bash - he'll likely max that before he's done. Arwen's skill placement is something of a nightmare in itself, but it works - thanks to the one-point wonders, Cloak of Shadows and Mind Blast, she's still the safest of my characters to play. Lister will be the biggest test for all three characters.
But for now, I'm content with my hour a day, plugging through the Mausoleum and Black Tower and seeking that elusive Pul rune, Arreat's Face and Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band that will round out my two combat characters.

Congrats to those who have made Guardian already, and commiserations to those who missed out...the standard has really been high this tourney, and we're seeing people who would have won another tourney with their performance just barely miss out on this one. We'll have to come up with some crazy challenge for the next Three-Way to thin out the ranks some more, without killing people off too early. Perhaps one skill tree only, or a grading system that gives more points to crazy builds? We'll see.

Until next time, slow down, stay alive. Don't Drink and D2.

Again, correct my math if I'm wrong, but I see only 5 melee characters left alive in hell.

Sepp, by AndiDi, a Paly who has finished
Steel_Sword, Act IV Hell Barb, steelsixtyIV
March, a Paly by tenaka
eViL-GoDzHobo, Paly by eViL-GoDz
Ormus by SuperSavage, a Druid - shape/summon.

Make it 7, with Arwen and Boromir. But compare even that number to the huge number of participants in Hell right now. Or just compare those who have finished - one melee character from AndiDi, compared to 7 others completed.

Just another interesting stat.
On a related note, Psycho, perhaps we could get an update on exactly what we're now playing for? Everyone would have to post what elite uniques are in their stashes, and one of us could add them all up. It would be interesting to see the ratio of melee items donated to other items.
 
Haha, good to see you posting again :)

Well...the stash has been filling up quite a lot with Elite goodies. It only takes a few pages of searching to find everybody's list of lovely stuff that has been added to the pile. I haven't actually combined all the stashes into one giant stash yet (which takes a long bloody time, I can assure you)...but some items off the top of my head include:

Doombringer
The Cranium Basher
The Widowmaker
Eschuta's Temper
Flamebellow
Leviathan
Stoneraven
Alma Negra
Reaper's Toll

And I also remember an Aldur's Armour in there somewhere, although I can't find it right now in whomever's prize stash it was. But I'm pretty certain there was one.

That's what everybody's playing for :)

Click to expand...

I played for the honor and the fun, but I would certainly take some prices if I get an offer to take some :D .

I think the reason that there are not that many melee chars in hell is, that it is a hell of a place for a melee char. Slow going and you have to like living on the edge (of death).

And an update:

[highlight]Exhibition Team Bavarian Forest II[/highlight] - 84 points
Franz - Barb (Warcries/Combat Skills) – lvl 37 – Act V Nml - 25 points
Mich - Necro (Bone/Curse) – lvl 36 – Act V Nml - 24 points
Theres - Sorc (Fire/Ice) – lvl 50 – Act I NM - 35 points

Franz - WP: Crystalline Passage - Last Quest: Killed Nili
Mich - WP: Crystalline Passage - Last Quest: Rescued Anya
Theres - WP: Black Marsh - Last Quest: Killed the Countess

Theres did some Countess runs and Franz has rescued Anya and killed the old corpse exploder.
 
Just trying to keep the thread near the frontpage, so another update:

Having more or less finished act III with my firts two chars it was time for Morpheus to strat his (probably long) way to Meph. He had already donne the sewers quest, so out into the deserts he went. With the maggot lair being a perfect environment for a iron barb, always fighting 1 to 1 he had no problems at all. The viper temple was alos easy, engaging enemies two at a time, and plenty of doorways to turn the odds to my side even better.
So with both the staff and amulet in hand, he is now ready to explore the palace, and maybe find the arcane sanctuary in his next session. Again plenty of (low level) runes, but hardly any green or gold item.
And that with a whopping 5 % MF, from my probably best small charm ever :)
+13 to Attack Rating
+3 to Maximum Damage
5% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

anyway, two levels and one point further:

Team the Matrix II (Gouda) – 135 points
Destroyer Morpheus - (Barb – Warcries/Com.Skills) – lvl 54 – Act II NM
Destroyer Merovingian - (Necro - Summon/Curse) – lvl 64 – Act III NM
Destroyer Persephone - (Sorc Fire/Cold) – lvl 64 – Act III NM

Have fun, don't die,

Gouda :cool:
