Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

I can do Thursday.

EDIT: Damn, sorry for the double-post.
I would like to do this again soon; I really want to improve on that paladin build (I like builds that don't need twinking :)). Plus, playing with a co-op group of eight people = super fast leveling, which is always fantastic.
Apparently to you.. "Soon" = Thursday :tongue:

So far we haven't had anybody disagree with Thursday so I am hoping they are all fine with the date.

Thursday works for me! BTW, do any of you play HC other than with the group we made, I've been playing solo in private games and it's pretty boring. *jtaporco

Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

thursday sounds good to me.

i'd like to also discuss what we'll be needing here so that we can cut back on idle chit chat in game and focus on getting things done.

my end game goal is to provide a good source of crowd control (howl, taunt, warcry) while being able to dish out damage to single targets (bosses). what personally i'd like to see is high damage from our sin/conviction combo as well as a bit more crowd control from a decent level of dim vision from the summoner. i havent myself played a rabies wolf so i dont know what to expect from one, but arent they a good source of damage to crowds? i forget what the other pally is and i'm not sure still what the other barb is doing skill wise. i tried on a couple occasions to say that i would most likely be getting a high level of shout so that he may be able to skimp on it and get other useful skills, but i'm not sure if he 'heard' me.

what curse should the nec be using for the front lines? i'd like something that could help the meleer's out the most. the two i'd like to see are decrep (for slowing and better damage from skellies and ww barb) and/or lifetap. beyond that i'd love to see him be able to blind things that were off screen (highish level of dim for bigger radius).

i forgot about our frost maiden. she'll provide some great crowd control up until we hit the 'cannot be frozen' frenzytaurs. maybe i'm just being over cautious, i've only ever played solo HC so it's a bit new to me to be in this big of a group.

these are just some random thoughts i've had. also the other melee should start thinking now about what they're going to do when they're under iron maiden. i wont have a problem unless i get mana burned mid swing.

i think our team skills will either improve dramatically or we'll die...pretty much what has to happen, lol.

so what does everyone want to see for themselves and from our teamates?

ps. so has everyone been refamiliarizing themselves with their builds? i've been re-reading this guide.

Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

We have two paladins with myself as one.
We came across a small problem as both paladins require conviction but since he is foh and requires less skills to max out, I had him to go conviction. You suggested that I go salvation avenger. With that said, we won't have to worry about our resist as we will be at +50 at hell without any +res gear or +80 single resist.

What i will be doing with my avenger is
1point vengeance (level 18 now), 10 resist lightning, 10 resist fire, 16 salvation, pump vegeance to 20, finish off resist lightning and fire.

My friend, the druid, will be providing us with oak though I still find the whole rabies thing to be somewhat of a bad idea as conviction does not lower poison resist.

I've never seen howl to be more useful than that game :p


I am hoping that we will be doing untwink more as I will sooner or later lose interest if we continue to do 1 act per week.

Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

act 2 and 3 are going to suck (as usual) but 4 and 5 are my favorite and should be breezed through.

is he going to go fury/rabies, or flaming/rabies? i've never gone in depth with those versions of the shape tree. i have some experience w/ fury but it's been a long time.

Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

well, so far the only pt that ive put into curses is 1 in amp damage. ive always found that fishys have a hard time w/ durial n diablo in normal, and i wanted to get my skelles as strong as i can b4 we get to those bosses. but, is there any other curses that u would like besides life tap n dim vision, i dont want to use any more pts then ness. since were untwinked. also, i don't think that ill get decrep since i feel that amp is better unless everyone feels we need it.

also, w/ the druid i think that fury is better build for pvm since i use amp damage, and ive heard that rabies in pvm crashes games. but, i guess it depends on how far into the build he is.


oh, and thursday works great for me. is that what were going for?

Please do get one decrip! It will help GREATLY against future bosses.
Decrip removes 50%DR and slows while amp is 100%dr.
Our only source of physical damage are skeles and the ww barb. Everybody else does elemental or magic I believe.

Attract. It's the ultimate in crowd control - you basically direct where the monsters go.

When I had my fishymancer I would cast amp dmg on a group and then use attract on one monster among the pack. Oh, and it does work on bosses; they will attack their minions.

Re: [East Ladder] Cause We Own Like That: Untwink Adventure

i say that one point in decrep is good, but you can easily shop/find a wand with it, so maybe dont put all the points in the prereqs.

i'm also having no luck getting to this forum from home for some reason so i'll be easier to reach in game on thursday.
