[mwille]

My usual tactics probably won't work on Diablo, & a merc will just die against him, so I'll have to think about how to proceed.

I've done a little countess running, enough to make an "OrtOrtOrt" bow after rescuing the barbarians. Now I can almost kill as fast as my merc with his newly acquired Battlebranch. But my AR is horrible for normal; I think I need to hire a new merc with Blessed Aim aura.

So SelliksNozawob is gathering courage and praying to the gods she'll triumph over the Ancients tomorrow. If all goes well, we might start running Baal to get some basic items... I'd love to find the Angelic set sans the weapon, and soon.

I wasn't sure what this pally would be, but hoped to find some useful pally weapons and shields, with skills on them. This didn't really happen, but I did find a good bow he could use, so at the moment, he's more of a ranger. The merc tends to draw the monsters and the charatcter stands out of harms way firing arrows. Hardest fight was Duriel, but after a while, I got the tactic down and after that it was just a matter of time.

Uh, not trying to be a jerk, but do these numbers seem off to anyone else?
(quests + WPs) - (lvl + merc) = score
(24 + 23) - (22 + 15) = score
47 - 37 = 10

Anyone else confirm this? Believe me, I want more people high on the leaderboard to give me a sense of urgency and make me want to play more, but I don't think you're there just yet. Keep going, you're doing well!

You're not being a jerk - I was. God , this is soooo embarrassing ...
seemed a bit high to me as well, but I looked at it several times and didn't see anything wrong Must have been having a 'senior moment'.

Sorry again - no bad intentions - just plain stupidity. The next update will be correct (I hope)

Sir Frederick the Pure has reached the Arcane Sanctuary in Act 2. His lack of skills is not a problem yet. He and his Act 2 merc are killing very quickly and without taking undue damage. We shall see how long this lasts. Oh, the one thing that he has is a scepter with +3 to might. That does give a little boost to damage, but no big deal. He found another scepter with 3 sockets. There is a definite temptation to fill them with Tal runes. But I only have two for now. Since he is not desperate yet, that will have to wait.

The battle with Duriel was very difficult on "Players 8". The merc was resurrected several times. Frederick better get some crushing blow quick! The drop was lousy. Two of the five rares were ethereal. None of them were of any use.

This looks like a lot of fun, im definately gonna join.
I'll decide all my stuff when I start my char (in about an hour) and post the progress once I'm done for the night.

Oh, I just thought of a question, are we allowed to use skills from items either from charges or +oskills?

Another, what about chance to cast? (and anything else I've forgotten)

+skills are most certainly allowed, you just can't put any hard points into skills.

I believe the only other rules are don't use the RWM in-game and don't die. That should about cover it. Welcome to the game, hope you can keep up! :grin:

Started my char, just killed the countess a few times, looking for some useful runes. I made a barb, though I wished I did a sorc like five minutes into it.

Hooboy, I've had an adventurous afternoon indeed. Starting at the Ancients' Way, I quickly learned that this was going to be a long session, even at /p1. The Ancients took about four minutes, mostly me running circles and firing between leap attacks, with a crazy outta nowhere NDE from the axe thrower. Running the WSK was a breeze, surprisingly. The Throne Room was easy to clear, but 3/5 waves of minions was a grind, even the first ones with the wimpy devilkins. But SelliksNozawob stood her ground and finally she entered the lair of Baal himself.

Baal was tough, no doubt. At level 32, I had about 53 fire resist and 35 cold... not so hot. Every attack hurt. The only way I was able to beat him was to kind of shoot around corners. I'd park right next to a pillar or a rock and fire at an angle where I could hit him, but he couldn't hit me. Well... his fireballs still got through, but the cold wave would be blocked so I took what I could. Plus, my attack power was like chopping down a redwood with a... an arrow, I could say. About 15 minutes and 13 TPs later, with about 100%MF I got my first green drop from a boss, sigon's helm.

So now she's Slayer SelliksNozawob! w00t!! Only five or six people made it this far in the last tournament, so I'm pretty psyched. AND I did it pretty wasted, so that's even cooler.

I haven't yet gone to Nightmare so I can keep my maps, which is why the table says I'm still in A5 and the last WP was WSK2. Now... how in the world will I find some decent weapons if I can't run the bosses? I might have to do crazy Diablo MF runs... say, what do Diablo and Baal have for resists in normal?

 

[mwille]

I went ahead & tried the Chaos Santuary & died before getting the first seal.
Good luck to all.

RIP mwille.

Been playing a lot today. I found a helm with a few points in double throw, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I absolutely love it. I've gambled a bunch of good rare throwing weapons and I rip through stuff on p1. I've done a few meph and andy runs, but they were only good for gold. I can't wait to get on to act 4 and see what diablo brings.

R.I.P Red-Shirt.

...R.I.P SelliksNozawob... :cry:

It all came down to a lack of resists and too much MF gear. She had her future planned out ahead of her, too. Run Meph for mediocre gear and a high-ish physical damage bow, then run NM Countess to get the runes for Peace, and then try to tear up a specific act boss for itamz. Never made it past the "run Meph" part. I'm not blaming my merc, but he ran away for no reason and I got comboed by a wave of CBs and an ice ball simultaneously... deeds.

So I don't know what I want to do with this character (I went SP, btw). I could make her a normal character from here on out (meaning twink and add skills), or I could keep playing as is to see how far I can get. I'm more interested in the latter since I always twink and never try to challenge myself, but I'm also thinking of recreating a 'zon to run Pindle (my main MFer, a bowazon, lost the red portal).

Blah blah blah. To all of you, she's dead now, so I'll shut up. Unless, that is, people would be interested in seeing how far I can take her skill-less. Let me know what you think; it'd kind of be a thread hijack anyway.

Good luck, all! I'll keep checking in periodically to see who's going to take the lead over me. :thumbsup:

Technically this is a move up but my last update was blown away.

Progress wise, usually I find a decent rare scepter or two but not this time. Not so much as a magical scepter on the ground. So far I've had to settle for this:

Superior Scepter
One-Hand Damage: 6 to 12
Durability: 55 of 56
Required Strength: 25
Mace Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 6
Fingerprint: 0x64e1c81a
+10% Enhanced Damage
Increase Maximum Durability 11%
+1 to Might (Paladin Only)
+1 to Sacrifice (Paladin Only)
150% Damage to Undead

Of course Might is convienent. It requires no mana and helps my merc too. Countess dropped my a Tir and two Els which would normally make me groan but Steel should be a good fit, especially if I can find a decent 2os secpter.

Bump.

Just want to remind those who are still in this tourney. You all had better keep interested, or I'll win by default!

*twiddling thumbs, waiting for trophy*

Alas, SmilingAssassin is smiling no longer (well at least in the tourney, she was softcore) http://www.badongo.com/pic/198315

I was kinda rushing, was going to finish after andy do an update etc, and then do some other stuff - had my merc in a great spot shooting at her - all i had to do was tank (of course there was the problem) I had a lvl obtainable if i stopped to kill about 3 monsters and had a lot (20+) stat points i could have put into vit etc

Many thanks to Docturnal for hosting and good luck to those who remain skill-less and standing :thumbsup:

iirc, you don't have to use your imbue reward to get credit for the quest. If that's the case, then I lose points for my imbue, my socket, and personalizing an item quests... and don't even THINK I'm going to take points off of my score... :evil:

Unless someone objects, I think your true score is -12.
