Re: Tournament: The Single-Tree Tournament
Darkness the curse necro is currently sitting at the dark woods waypoint, having just rescued cain. This update is just going to be gear based, the story will wait until act 1 is done.
I started out in hell using this:
Gemmed Dimensional Blade
'Eth'
One-Hand Damage: 13 to 35
Durability: 20 of 20
Required Dexterity: 60
Required Strength: 85
Required Level: 25
Sword Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 44
Fingerprint: 0x43391e67
Fire Resist +12%
Cold Resist +24%
Poison Resist +21%
-25% Target Defense
Socketed (4: 4 used)
and goblin toes for cb. I actually didn't need the fire and cold res jewels because my resists were maxed but I did some poor arithmatic and shoved them in instead of extra eths. I think I was at about a 30% chance to hit monsters, less against boss monsters, so my plan of using cb and becoming a meleemancer were starting to go down hill. That all changed when a 3 os phase blase dropped in the crypt. I stored it for a while as I finished clearing this area, thinking the whole time man ITD would be sweet. It was at this point that I remembered, I have an um stashed from the HF. It + the phase blade created something that has revitalized my interest in Darkness.
Crescent Moon
Phase Blade
'ShaelUmTir'
One-Hand Damage: 94 to 107

Level 18 Summon Spirit Wolf (30/30 Charges)
-35% to Enemy Lightning Resistance
Socketed (3: 3 used)
ITD, its fast, OW, static, and decent physical damage combined with might and decrep :jig: I full cleared up to the darkwood that session just enjoying life. While this weapon won't really help me when fighting bosses, they are usually not the biggest problems. Decrep and cold damage make everything just stop. I also tried my hand at crafting some blood gloves and belts. I wanted to crank the CB and OW up for total dominance. These are in use right now:
Glyph Claw
Vampirebone Gloves
Defense: 92
Durability: 9 of 14
Required Strength: 50
Required Level: 69
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 77

Required Strength: 106
Required Level: 56

+51 to Life
+87% Enhanced Defense
1% Life stolen per hit
Poison Length Reduced by 25%
9% Chance of Open Wounds
Repairs 1 durability in 20 seconds
The gloves are sweet; in combo with my circlet I can now remove my Lionheart and still wear my Gerkes, so I can put a MF armor on for bosses. The belt could be better but I don't have any other magic belts to use and I really needed the life bonus.
Emilio the Might merc is wielding his eth Duriels and:
Demon Stake
Great Poleaxe
Two-Hand Damage: 97 to 270
Durability: 36 of 55
Required Dexterity: 99
Required Strength: 179
Required Level: 63
Polearm Class - Very Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 85
Fingerprint: 0xe3b5a85a
+113% Enhanced Damage
+272 to Attack Rating
Adds 4-12 cold damage over 4 seconds
5% Life stolen per hit
40% Increased Attack Speed
I found this inside the Mausoleum, replacing the Husoldal Evo. With might and decrep Emilio can lay the smack down pretty solidly. I decided to finally get rid of the merc's circlet which had been in use since act3 normal. He now wears this:
Viper Brow
Helm
Defense: 42
Durability: 23 of 24
Required Strength: 26
Required Level: 65
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 72
Fingerprint: 0x9e74fa71
+29 to Life
+123% Enhanced Defense
Poison Resist +15%
3% Life stolen per hit
10% Faster Hit Recovery
7% Deadly Strike
Its not great but its nice to know that sometimes he will do double damage.

Poison: 39
Emilio the might merc:
60 fire and light res, cold and poison maxed. CBF
Life: 1512
Damage with might: 637 - 1518
PS: 37 PDR/19MDR, good res, 800 life, and decrep + cold damge = very, very sturdy char. I tank for Emilio now. Expect a completion of act 1 report soon unless something terrible happens.
PSS: It sucks going from almost 400MF per kill to 0. I haven't seen a s/u at all in hell; I'm seeing tons of blue and grey instead. Also, I am having copy/paste problems, so let me know if I've done something stupid in this post. Also, I have equipped and used my staff of teleport, so I forfeit those 10 bonus points.
