TDC-StayClassy is currently lvl 9, got up to the Dark Wood wp. I completed the first 3 quests of act 1. So that would give me a nice 9 points minus 8 points from my lvl up, which gives me an awesome total of 1 point

Man my weapons rolls are really worst then what I expected. And having to work with no belt until I find a set one is also a pain in the *** But this char is lots of fun!

Remember, you can wear a low-quality (cracked, etc.) version of any item until you find a suitable replacement.

@Skunk: thank god for that rule I didn't know about that but being able to fill my empty slots (gloves, boots, helm, belts, shield ) with at least cracked stuff will help me a lot!

 

[RonBurgundy]

Question. on my switch shield, I am allowed superior items. I just found a superior targe that has 2 sockets. I can still use the shield right? And since my slot is for superior item, can i still put stuff in the 2 sockets?

EDIT: I've reached the Outer Cloister WP and I will use my 1st Perk to upgrade my SWITCH weapon from normal to superior. I decided my switch slots will be my primaries since upgrading my regular weapon spot from low quality to a decent level will take forever.

You can use the shield as long as it reads superior (it could have been ethereal and socketed as well and still be usable in a 'superior' slot)

Joe is making slow progress through act 3, he's had more NDE's than I care to think about, I fear for his further progress. Right now he's standing at the flayer jungle waypoint. He's level 25.

I was able to work all the way up to the catacombs and defeat Andariel. Suprisingly she wasn't my toughess fight. Getting past the 3 jail level was very hard since most monsters we're ranged attacker and thorn was simply useless.

**I suppose we do not count the 1st wp in each act (rogue encampement, lut gholein, etc.)?

*Should be -17 not -16, every level even when u start at level 1 counts -1.

**All town WP's count even rouge camp.

@kramph R.I.P, a very good run :thumbsup:

Haven't played Wyclef in a while so I decided to get his butt moving, busy in scavenger hunt mostly. His fireclaws continue to get stronger with no mana increase which helps every level. Me, my merc, 3 dire wolves, and oak sage took care of act II easily except those beetles really hurt me with the charged bolt due to 0% lightning resist. Arcane sanctuary was awesome, finding summoner on the first branch which saved me plenty of time. Found steelclash like my last druid in tal rashas tomb, my shield slot on main switch is socketed so I guess I will wait until the barbarian quest to make a ancients pledge because its much better than steelclash. Still using my weapon switch and upgraded my axe to a morning star with more damage as well as a nice cold attack. At the lost city WP, I once again moved my main weapon slot up and is now standing at "normal" after having the first two perks from low quality. My goal is too get it to rare or so with the socketed shield slot and not have to worry about my switch at all. Took Duriel on /p 4 and didn't have to go back to town once stocking up on lots of potions for my merc mostly. Merc was strong enough and dire wolves distracted enough that merc didn't die while deeding him potions, duriel didn't hit me at all really... I just attacked him the whole time doing decent damage. Lots of re-summoning wolves and oak sage, he dropped all rares and nothing was of use and sold.

Can't just stop there. Must play another character.

Can someone roll me an assassin. Will use 1H shield on both main and switch. Random everything.

 

[RonBurgundy]

I managed to get all the way up to arcanne sanc. Unfortunatly, I don't know how much further I'll be able to get with this paladin. Thorn isn't very effective and useless in most situations. The balanced stats are really hurting my plan since my low amount of HP doesn't allow me to tank as much as I wanted making Thorn even more useless. Duriel will be the ultimate test

@Zat : I tried using the roll form but I don't really understand how to assign the results. Could someone explain to me how to ''roll for someone'' so I may be able to do it in the futur. Thx!

 

[RonBurgundy]

Well .... Duriel was just too much for this build. After putting up a good fight in Arcanne, I had finally enjoyed the goods of Thorns as the Tal Rasha tombs was filled with melee monsters who fell pretty quick to my aura. But Duriel was very hard, I had to run to town 3 times to refill pots/rez merc and after the 3rd time, I pushed my luck and stayed down a bit too long ...

Oh well, it was a fun run. If anyone has a suggestion for my next build, i'm open to everything!

CryoMixalot is now level 54 at the Spider Forest WP in A3NM, with score
-54 + 24 (12 NM quests) + 20 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 83

Before doing questing in Act 2, I ran the Countess for a while, and had almost nothing to show for it. After about ten "ok, this is the last time" runs and still nothing, I accidentally started in normal and lost my map. So then it was back to questing and there NM Act 2 went pretty well, although I am being more cautious and played at players 1 for the Viper Temple, the Maggot Lair and Duriel. All these recent tourney deaths weigh heavily on CryoMixalot. As usual, it seems, I found the summoner on the fourth direction I tried. Duriel took a while and had a few pulse-raising moments, getting knocked around with a few hard hits, but the merc helped whittle him down (love those thawing pots) and then onto Act 3, for a quick trip out to get the statue quest.

I ran the countess a bit more, with this time a little more to show for it- two Amns. I'd like an Io for Black and Sols to do Blood Ring crafts, although I think it will be a few crafts before I get one that is better than my current Safety craft. One more Amn and I can cube it to a Sol for the Blood craft, but that will wait until later. I am thinking about perking my unique ring to a crafted one at some point- I don't need the mana leech from my Manald, and hopefully I can get a good craft. But I think the next perk will be rare belt so I can go gambling for that.

No equipment changes to report since last time- Duriel dropped a nice pair of rare demonhide gloves: IAS, mana leech, FR and LR that I am five perks away from being able to use, so those were sold. I did buy a +3 Holy Freeze 2 socket scepter from Drognan in normal and made Strength in that, so that crushing blow may come in handy at some point. For now, I'm still using my old 3-socketed flail and the divine scepter on switch for more physical damage. I've had the Diggler and Crushflange drop but sold them with some reluctance- I've had Classic Frost Zealots and Tesladins who did very well with the Diggler for normal monsters and Crushflange for bosses. I may go for a fast multiple- Eth weapon for the same ITD effect if I find something appropriate.

@Zat : I tried using the roll form but I don't really understand how to assign the results. Could someone explain to me how to ''roll for someone'' so I may be able to do it in the futur. Thx!

Here's my effort to explain what I did, hopefully it's what is meant:

there are 10 item qualities, listed as such in the rules post:

1. low-quality items (“cracked,†“damaged,†etc.)
2. ethereal items
3. normal “white†items
4. superior items
5. magic items
6. socketed items
7. rare items
8. set items
9. unique items
10. crafted items

and there are either 10, 11 or 12 slots to allocate. So if there are exactly 10, you want one of each. So you get 10 numbers from 1-10 from http://www.random.org/sform.html and then assign them to the 10 slots, using the listing from the rules post:

1. ring 1
2. ring 2
3. amulet
4. helm
5. armor
6. gloves
7. boots
8. belt
9. weapon
10. shield

For example, the roll I just did for zatlaren was 7-8-5-4-6-10-3-9-1-2

So the first item quality, "low quality" is item #7, boots.
The second item quality is "ethereal", is item #8, belt and so on, moving down the list of rolls.

If the are impossiblities (socketed belt, for example) then the next position on the list is used and that item number is saved to the end. If there are several ones saved, they are used in order at the end. This example had no impossible rolls so that didn't happen here.

For the leftovers, which everyone has been opting to choose randomly (and not take the wildcard penalty) I do another 1-10 roll and use them to select item quality. For zatlaren, that was 2 and 8, so the first extra (switch weapon) was item quality #2, ethereal, and the second one (switch shield) was item quality #8, set.

Note that since there are many impossibilities for jewelry (no low q, no ethereal, no normal, no superior, no socketed) jewelry rolls tend to get bumped to the end, which is why there are a lot of people with unique and crafted jewelry rolls.

Robyn Kills Andariel and moves on to Lut Gholein

Robyn was sent to eliminate the demoness "Andariel". She took along a novice rogue bowyer and used her Shadow Warrior for back up. The battle was intense, but the fists of fire on double claws did the trick with one trip back to town to get more potions. Her next assignment is in Lut Gholein. The target's name is Radament. The customer is a woman named ATMA who is out to revenge her late husband. Typical grist for the assassin's grinder.

CryoMixalot is now level 57 at the Travincal WP in A3 NM, with a score of
-57 + 32 (16 NM quests) + 26 (NM WP) + 93 (normal) = 94

Not too many problems getting the eye, heart and brain. The Ruined Temple had the nasty "T" map but there wasn't a mob at the entrance, so besides a sudden raising of pulse, that was OK. Travincal took quite a while and involved luring the council members out slowly, many trips to town, and letting the merc tank the death explostions. I had hoped to get to the Durance WP but it was clear that would be a big struggle- I had real problems with doll packs in Durance 1 and used half of a belt of full rejuvs with a conviction enhanced extrafast encounter. It's clear that CryoMixalot will need to be stronger before going through there. That was the first genuine NDE and as much as I didn't want to have to kill the council again in a later game, discretion is the better part of valor and I will level for a while, and accumulate gold and hopefully some runes/items. I'd like to find or cube a socketed knout but have found nothing useful yet. I have practically no MF but that isn't a problem as I'm really just on the lookout for plain items, socketed items, runes and ethereal helms of any kind. A fast rare weapon or another rare scepter would be nice but I'm ok for now on my rares. The rares I need I can mostly gamble. I used my Trav WP perk to upgrade my belt from magic to rare and I have an OK rare belt, better than the magic one it replaced, but there is a lot of room for improvement there and I expect spend to spend piles of gold gambling for something good there. I did find a Sol and craft a terrible ring, sold to Ormus. Finding a 4-socket scepter I could make Holy Thunder with a Sol, so if I find a good 4-socket scepter I may end up regretting that craft. I found a rare cutlass, and was hoping for some IAS on it as that is a great weapon for a Frostalot, but it had no IAS and nothing except cold damage, which I already have a great deal of, so it was sold.

Well act 1 progressed pretty well. Didn't have any real problems apart from crashing 3 times when using Cloak of Shadows. I did a reinstall and I am hoping its fixed the problems as I didn't crash again since. Found 2 set shields amazingly enough. With my weapon being set I was forced to use my starting weapon until level 18 when I could switch to an etheral katar I had found with 2 sockets. Things sped up then with much higher damage. I must say that CoS seems almost overpowered. The pack in level 2 jail was trivial with it. I put a few points in fade and used it against Andy. She wasn't too hard and I tanked her leaving my rogue to pump arrows into her. She dropped a bunch of rares naturally nothing I can use.
