Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

The fight with Duriel was freakin' difficult. I think there were at least 2 NDEs during that fight alone. He was hitting at 72%, and taking about a fifth of my health in each hit or more.

I'm concerned about the ongoing health of my character. Hit Rate is now at 76%. I think I may have to start investing in Zeal for AR, or perhaps just invest in Dex. Either way, I can't rely on gear to help me.

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Naturally, I took down Duriel on /p1. Thank god for thawing potions... and OMG, he actually dropped something good! Rare heavy gloves with fire res, lightning res, and 18% mf! Thank you, you big ugly... slug... thing...

i totally know what you mean. i got rare chain mail from him, and a hawk mail. probably the best drop i ever got from him besides gheeds and facets on bnet ladder.

at any rate i had killed duriel on /players8 after forgetting to drop down. took about 30 minutes and 40 thawing/health pots, but none-the-less crisendon entered act 3.

midway through the stupid great marsh i got a phone call and forgot to tp out...when i came back, he was lying dead with pygmys giggling over him. oops.

good bye Crisendon, enter Bladestone.

Bladestone is going to be a frost zealer, i think. hes done q1-3 in a1, and has a fire arrow merc. i think she is rather fitting. will be on my way to the dark tower after softball tonight, besides hes a little tired after running from the camp all the way to the dark wood, so he could use a little rest in town.

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Nice update sorcerorbob. Anyway again i will not repost the table with my update. Mainly because i wanna update from being last on the table to about 3rd and im slightly lazy(dont hold it agaisnt me)(also if i die thats not gonna happen) Anyway my zealot charger is going pretty well. I got holy freeze(not my main aura) and its a blast to use until fanat. I mostly play on /p8 and i rush through all the boring areas using holy freeze as my back up. I left Fiona in act 1(my bow merc) and decided on a new pal for my journey. I found a rare polearm type weapon. and he was equipped with it plus some mundane clothes.

I on the other hand have all my gear rare including my sword. Except for one empty ring slot and gloves. I found a nice ammy and with everytime i find something i wish i was a sorceress. This plus my ring have 10 fcr on each. What a bummer for my paladin. But they are still good. I also found out that i wanted holyshield later on at level 24 when i just noticed that i couldnt wear a shield. I have one point wasted in holy bolt but i dont mind that much atm. So right now i got 4 points in zeal for a minunum of 5 hits. Its kinda my main skill atm and it will be for crowd control. Charge is just a boss killer and pack killer. Still a great skill with all the damage its gonna have. I ran andy about 3 times and found nothing but a bunch a rares. Was quite lucky to get so much. My andy map is kinda large and far away but i run through a couple boss packs on the way which is an up IMO. All is good and no NDE's with Andy. My merc on the other hand had a poisinos death 2 times. Anyway i am now found at Lut Gholein at level 19. Good luck to all.
 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

So I did a bit of thinking as to how I can optimise my character for the time being. Found a crude pike and decided to try out a defiance merc (my chance to be hit by threshers was a dangerous 56%). I used the chippie + eld (I'm hoarding runes) to convert the item into a normal pike and gave it to my new merc friend. He does about 5 times as much damage as the rogue did (I hadn't upgraded her bow since early act 2 - it was a rare long bow) and takes some blows for me too. Certainly a good investment. Edit: Chance to be hit by threshers dropped to 37%.

I've been thinking about how I'm going to deal with Meph. I've pretty much decided to shop Charsi for another 3 socket claymore and this time go EthEthEmerald and then switch to my ethereal claymore for the kill. This was mainly due to my chance to hit on Duriel being around 72% - I'd like 90%+.

Against meph I may have to switch back to the rogue merc and run in circles while she takes him down - and probably occasionally hit him with an emerald-jeweled sword of destiny to stop him regenerating.

... I don't think I'm breaking the rules by switching swords like this, but I guess it kinda goes against the idea of having a single sword of destiny...

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Entering myswordisbigger, a self-concious Barbarian who was teased his young life for the short length of his sword. Now he's on a quest to find the biggest and baddest sword out there.

Almost finished with Act 1, playing on /p 8 with barely any problems. I found a nice rare Hunters bow for my merc and a pair of rare leather gloves with dual 10% res to fire and lightning. I'll have more to say in future updates when the game starts to get interesting.

PS: Two questions. One, are we allowed to stash items on ATMA? Two, is there any easier way to update this chart or does everyone just align their information manually?
 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Yes. I copy and paste the table into Notepad. It is very easy to align the columns because it displays the table the same as it does when it's posted.

One: yes, it's allowed. Two: I use the "Preview Post" button + trial and error.

Anywhom... Dorcas has made it to Act IV, after a bit of /p8 exploiting of super chests in Lower Kurast, of course. ;) Found a nice rare Poleaxe with life leech for Jemali. We took on the Council on /p8 as well, but only because I picked them off one by one. I love how Council Members and those horrifying Dolls run right past my merc and throw themselves at my face. It's lovely. Just lovely. Meph dropped nothing of note. I don't think I'll be running him at all, as I don't have teleport yet. Will I ever? I don't know...

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

I've made it to the inner cloister, having rescued cain and done the tower quest since my last update (countess dropped 2x eld and a tir :yuck:). Crafted myself some blood gloves and got 8% crushing blow also got 18 lr on them which is helpful. Will probably try an amulet next as i still haven't found a rare one!?

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

@sorcererbob: You can switch swords as much as you like until you find your unique SoD or make a runesword. BTW where do you get all these to hit and to be hit %'s?
 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

This looks like fun, and my other tourny character is going slow, so this will be a fun change of pace. I'm going to enter with Lancelot the Paladin. Right now I'm thinking Holy Shock. Will be interesting without holy shield..
 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

@JayeM: pull up your character stats by pressing A. Then hover your mouse over attack rating and defense. Keep in mind that they have an upper bound of 95 and a lower bound of 5.

It's always tricky without HS, but think of it this way: that's a lot of points you can put other places. As I've written, I'm trying a dual prayer aura, which I probably never would have done outside tournament play. I usually feel bound to invest in HS. Forcing unusual character decisions is one of the reasons I've learned to love tournaments.

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

If you change playersetting before a monster is spawned then it will have the new p-setting when it spawns. However since you already spawned Duriel he will keep the old p-setting (so still p8 in your case). So changing to p1 after spawning him does nothing for you.
What i usually do is when i reach the place where you put the staff in, immediately change to p1 so i don't forget. Only after that i actually place the staff and enter Duriel's layer. That way the game is at p1 when he spawns and will be easier to defeat.

Ah thanks for clearing that up Cyrax :)

Off to help Paul through Act 3 now!


 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

I finished Act 1 with little to no difficulties. I found a powerful longbow for my merc who quickly surpassed me in DPS. On my way through the catacombs, I found a rare amulet with no modes of note save some % gold find, but it will fill the space for now. Even on /p8, Andy died quickly and left me with quite a few nice but useless items, including uniques Dimoak and Bloodcrescent.

Act 2 was a little more difficult as I could no longer run headlong into a crowd of enemies, sword blazing. Immediately entering the act, I sold my white Two-handed sword and bought a 3os Claymore, socketing it with some nice jewels and a chipped sapphire. The closest I came to dying was in the Lost City, where I was immediately swarmed by many enemies. My health potions were negated by the poison from Hell Slingers and I had to take refuge on a set of stairs where I could fight the horde a few monsters at a time. Right before taking the tombs, I decided to gamble away my life savings for a chance at some better gear. Near the bottom of my wallet, I gambled this BAMF and some nice rare boots. Duriel went down on /p1 without a hitch, dropping nothing interesting.

Upon entering Act 3, myswordisbigger parted ways with his faithful companion in exchange for a Cold Iron Wolf, aptly named Scorch.

I'm finding that Barbarians really own this tournament. Though other classes definately have their coup de grace skills, the Barbarian can make up for all the restrictions this tournament has in place. For a while, I was worried about the AR situation my character would face in later difficulties, when I remembered that Battle Cry (usually a one-point wonder) reduces defense by a whopping 88%, not to mention cutting enemies' damage by 44%. Find Potion will keep his belt full, and other skills like Battle Orders and Natural Resistance will keep him safe. The only difficulties I see now are damage output and some possible instant kills from Fire Enchanteds in later difficulties (I'm looking at you Nightmare Geleb).

Pretty sure you're not supposed to gamble Nogan.

Right now my pally is working his way through the Black Marsh.
 
Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

Act 3 was... act 3. Paul, Emilio, and wolfy ventured forth and took out the hordes of flayers without problem on /p8. Ormus gave him a nice rare ring for taking out a particularly nasty one. 13mf and close to 30 lite resist has definitely been a help. Found a rare light belt I'll think about upgrading if only for the 17fhr... we'll see what Paul can find through Act 4.

The council went down all right, had to portal to town a couple times to get rid of amp. damage curse. After the first council member went down, Paul dinged 30! So wolfy was promptly dismissed for a nice big brown grizzly bear.

Finally took Paul into the Durance where things got a bit tougher on /p8. On the second level the fire damage was getting too much to handle, influencing my decision to drop down to /p1 for level 3 and meph. After dropping to /p1 the Durance Level 3 seemed like a cake walk. Meph seemed to think attacking the grizzly bear with 1.6k life was the right strategy to take me down - he was wrong :). He dropped sig's gauntlets and a rare claymore which unfortunately wasn't any better than my gemmed sup. claymore.

Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny

[highlight]Well, that was fast.[/highlight]:banghead:

I'd been having some trouble with my hotkey layout for this toon. (a=normal attack; s=tiger strike; d=cobra strike; f=dragon tail; g=CoS; q-t and 1-4 other skills (largely unused) and town portal; potions on z-v. Pretty much my usual keyboard setup, but I put some skills in different spots than normal for tourney sinners).

So when I got down in the Palace, it took me a minute to remember where everything was. And there were cold horror mages, and I would cast CoS and then forget where I had TS hotkeyed and when I finally remembered CoS would have elapsed and she'd be getting pelted.

So she ran out of potions on 'z' slot, but I didn't realize it at first. Then I began frantically hitting the 'command' key (thinking it was the 'x') and poof = DEEDS. GRRRR. :steam:

Oh well.

I may be back with another one, but I may not. I need to see if I want to fool around with a friggen Barbarian or Pally or something, or if I want to try another Sinner. If I want to advance very far, I should probably go Barb (or Pally), but I just love the Sinners way too much. :scratchchin:

Edit: Ok. I'm Back. (Say: "that was fast".) Feast your eyes on OrangeJuice, the Concentrator Barb, who is currently chilling in the Rogue Encampment.
