A Quick Tournament 4

[Docturnal]

Damn that fricking maggot. The third char is dead...
I had a few kit items and a unique ready to mule off, but the rules state I shouldn't send them so...

I just can't give up though. There are some character classes left and I am going with the Paladin... a Freezealot to eat them all up and avenge my bear.
(Im starting to get quite annoyed on that no vitality rule)

 

[randy]

Sorry to hear about the death Docturnal.

Just a quick question, do charms, 1-5 lightning damage say, add on to my Chain Lightning damage even though it isn't shown on the character screen or am I dreaming?

No, you have to physically attack or use a ranged weapon for that damage to do anything.

 

[randy]

Thanks skoolbus.

Anyone need a couple of +1-5 lightning dmg small charms?

 

[Quickdeath]

R.I.P Golly the Bonemancer. He died a careless death in the sewers of Lut Gholein. He was a level 20, and died with 12 tounament points.

He is replaced by my 2nd character: GollyMissMolly -another Bonemancer.

GollyMissMolly has made it to the Outer Cloister, 4 quests, 6 WPs, and -10 tank points (for a clay golem) for a total score of 4!

Hey, Cattleya, I just found a sig shield and I was wondering if I was allowed to put it on my cold A3 merc.....

Name: Rusebud
Class: CL/Orb
Level 32
Last WP: Harrogath
Last Quest: Diablo
Max Life: 184
Tank Penalty: 40
Points: 14
Items for pot: Nothing worth mentioning
**********************

Killed Big Red on /p1 which was more then tough enough, each hit from his flaming circle of death would knock off 85% health so it was a classic hit and run affair.

I picked up these:

Sander's Taboo
Heavy Gloves
Defense: 29
Durability: 12 of 14
Required Level: 28
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 26
Fingerprint: 0x8d96cdfc
+40 to Life
+23 Defense
Adds 8-10 poison damage over 3 seconds
20% Increased Attack Speed

At some point if anybody would like them. I'd use them myself but my magic find obsession is so great that even now with 10 Vit I'd rather use the 24% magic find gauntlets I bought off Ashera.

I also saved a +105AR ring if anybody feels they need a boost.

 

[Swivelguy2]

I'm going to hop into this tournament, with an assassin, named Arc.

 

[teh_roy]

Hey Randy, nice job with the clearage of D. I like. I'm actually nearing him, and in half a level, I will put on the beautiful Sander's Gloves my druid found in A2. Hopefully, I won't get killed by IM, but we will see. Meanwhile, I was wondering if you wanted to trade some stuff, I've got a 10% fcr/22 cold res rare ring that you might use, and a Hsarus' belt (20 life 20 cold res 3 rows) and a wand and dagger each with charges of lvl1 lifetap (dangerous for me to wolf out just to cast it, so I stopped trying to do it and took down Meph with my cold merc, 4 ravens, and 11 health pots). Although YOU probably won't find this of any use, I have a +fire skills circlet up for trade as well.

As for my druid, he's in the river of flame headed towards a hellforge (Come on PRuby!) and Diablo's Sanctuary. I'll post stats either after D or when I die, whichever comes first.

EDIT: if anyone wants to trade me, just post what stuff you have (I'm particularly interested in high-end rubies, druid helms of any sort, and mauls, scythes, or axes with IAS on them, FHR charms, and life charms).

 

[shermo]

*************
Destroyer: shermo_iii
Level: 50
WPs: all except halls
Quests: all
score: 75
Mana: 701 <----- :thumbsup: with 65% absorb
**************
Notable finds: skystrike for my merc and dark clan crusher which is waiting for sledgeh if he makes it to lvl 34 :lol:

The levels 21-24 were tough. I didn't have a decent offensive spell so I was still using lvl 4 ice blast which I had way back in the Cold Plains (thanks dahker ) Once I got blizzard and ES though, things became a bit easier.

This was a pretty incredible find at the time:

Blood Clasp
Amulet
Required Level: 16
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 23
Fingerprint: 0x63a3e53b
+12 to Energy
+2 to Dexterity
+11 to Mana
All Resistances +5
Replenish Life +3
+1 to Cold Skills (Sorceress Only)

edit: yeah, it's shermo_iii cause I died twice. Once to the skeleton's CE explosion in the inner cloister. And once due to cursed dark stalker teleporting on top of me (lag related)

 

[Cattleya]

Hey, Cattleya, I just found a sig shield and I was wondering if I was allowed to put it on my cold A3 merc.....

Act 3 mercs can use shields.

And now for an update. As always, let me know if I made any mistakes. A lot has happened since the last update. Shermo has blasted into the lead with our first Destroyer, even after two deaths!

[shermo]

bane ash! that sounds right.

Nice memory

 

[teh_roy]

Diablo is dead. My druid is still alive. OH YEAH! With a bit of care and letting my A3 cold merc take care of almost everything in the Chaos Sanctuary, I made it to D and gave him a clobbering. He dropped me a whole lot of ONE HANDED weapons, one of them being an ethreal crushflange, which my druid will love to take and clobber Baal with, but that will come in due time. I now also have a tarnhelm and death's sword to add to my collection of items. I hope Cattleya doesn't stick a tanking penalty on me because all my druid does now is tank for my merc, who kills most things :lol:

Name: ScytheWolf

Nice job with the sorc, shermo, it looks like me and you will have some tight battles to the finish line. It would be interesting to see if you can make it to Hell without giving in to a tank, likewise for me (although I am a tank, I'm sure my 50% chance to get hit by all monsters will eventually come back to haunt me when I try to tank NM duriel). In any case, good luck to everyone, may all your drops be......life SC's, rubies, and socketed gear......

Shermo_iii
Just defeated Duriel, NM
Level: 55
WPs: all of act 1, all but Halls 2 of act2

Current life: 446
Current mana: 900 (with 72% absorb)

Well, had some crazy drops tonight. This beauty:

Razorswitch
Jo Staff
Two-Hand Damage: 6 to 21
Durability: 13 of 20
Required Strength: 25
Required Level: 28
Staff Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 37
Fingerprint: 0xf3183bdf
+80 to Life
+175 to Mana
Magic Damage Reduced by 15
All Resistances +50
Attacker Takes Damage of 15
30% Faster Cast Rate
150% Damage to Undead
+1 to All Skill Levels

I don't think there is a better staff for this build, period. Kinda funny 'cause I found one of these last time round when I was playing a 'zon.

Two Frosties! I don't have the strength to use them atm, but once I do my mana will be well over 1200.

Angelic armour+ring+ammy combo. It gives 50%mf, 50% fr, +1 skills and most importantly 95 life and 50 mana.

And to top it all off a nightsmoke with the interesting "50% damage goes to mana" mod as well as some mana and resists.

I can't see myself having any problems until CI's start cropping up in act 5.

 

[Gimli]

Given the early death of my poor Assassin in the Melee Blues Tournament, I'm ready to enter this one now!
Welcome Hopeless the Sorceress (exact build still to be decided, I?m going to start tomorrow). Let's try and see if she'll survive the Den of Evil
Bye

 

[teh_roy]

Noooooooooooooooooo, Shermo is so gonna kill us all if he doesn't come up against a mana burn boss of some sorts. In any case, I'm going hiking today (just like yesterday), but I'll be back later to play. I was wondering, Cattleya if you mind us drinking many antidote pots and thawing pots en masse. And sorry for the inconvenience of my asking 10000 questions.

 

[Slartibartfast]

My assassin just completed act1 normal at lvl 18
I also got myself an act2 merc, cheap in game, expensive in points I know but I decided that without one I'll get nowhere as I'll be dual claw so no shadow minion/master

So I won't yet bother putting myself in the table as I'm at -25 points or so :lol:
We'll see how far she gets, there were no near death's in act1, no dangerous situations even, much better than I expected
(she is a kick-sin btw)

 

[Quickdeath]

GollyMissMolly R.I.P.

GollyMissMolly the Bonemancer died. I guess this tourney is just not my thing. Good luck to all

Golly Miss Molly
Level= 17
Died = Monastery (between Outer Cloisterand Hephasto)

So I just finished act 2, still going strong and easy, got a few scary moments with scarabs when they spawned in open area's though.
She took down Duriel without using a single potion and even the merc survived
Got two uniq so far, Dimoak's Hew on my merc and Biggin's Bonnet on the sassin herself.

 

[randy]

At the rate shermo's going there's absolutely no way I can beat him with my merc penalty so I shall just have to play for pride.

Good going all and sorry about the GollyMissMolly Quickdeath.
