The "It Takes All Kinds" Tournament

[Sint Nikolaas]

Not using a switch doesn't make it any easier on your equipment. Choosing a 2 hand or one-hand/shield combo on switch will just be randomly rolled seperate from your gear.

1-8 (All armor and jewelry spots)
9 (2 handed weapon)
10 (if you wanted one-hand/shield this would be the shield and 9 would be the one-handed weapon instead of the 2 handed if you choose that way)
11 (2 handed on switch randomly selected by someone or can be a WILDCARD)
12 (just like 9&10, 12 would be shield and 11 would be one-hand weapon for your switch)

* (If you went 2(2 handed weapons) you would only have a total of 10 slots.
* (If you went 1(2 handed weapon) and 1(one-handed/shield combo) you would have a total of 11 slots.
* (If you went 2(one-hand/shield combos) you would have a total of 12 slots.

*1-9 (2 handed weapon) *1-10 (one-hand/shield) *11-12 (your switch spots)

Probably already know most of this but making sure you know. I will roll your character when you have told me if you want your switch to be:
1. one-hand/shield
2. 2 handed
3. no switch to make it harder

I'm sorry but.. duh. Everything you mentioned is explained in the rules. If I do not pick a switch you will only have to roll once and not twice, making it easier. ~sigh~
Allthough noone has rolled yet for me... I'll just hold on for a bit :smiley:

Reggie has finished off Duriel on /p 8!

Once I made it to the Arcane Sanctuary I wanted to find the summoner as few of the 4 arms that there is. But of course it takes me EVERY one, that was a really long time watching my merc kill things and tp when he got stuck. :azn:

After that, everything was smooth as butter. Found the real tomb on the first one and found orfice very fast. I thought I was strong enough at level 25 to take him at /p 8 so I did. Made sure the thawing potions were streaming through my merc, didn't have to heal him a whole bunch with the 75 cold resist and around 550 life. Had to summon wolves a bit and I spammed my level 2 Tornado I don't know how many times. It took some time, never in real danger and he dropped two uniques in the end(6% Manald Heal ring and BloodFist heavy gloves). I can use the ring if I take my third perk and bring my crafted ring down to unique... we will see when I get there. Only new items was my new magic ring: 20%FR/25% Posion Reduce.

Time for the jungle which should be a piece of cake, but time consuming. :grin:

Act 3 done now.

The wolves are doing an excellent job, aided by 2 stray ravens that decided to join us in our quest, a wolverine spirit, I feel, is also with us.
The trip through the kurast jungle was as always hindered by dead ends, detours and countless evil critters.
Apart from it taking quite a lot of time there were no real problems. Upon arrival at travincal I used my 3rd perk to upgrade, again, my bow. I had found a 2 socketed superior long bow as well as some decent +max damage jewels that fit perfectly into the sockets.
The council was interupted when my wolves quickly spread out in attack formation, and the ravens started picking at heir eyes, they were quickly disposed of. Mephisto died quite easily to the wolves.


Act 4 awaits..


Equipment and score.

rare helmet - Used the imbue quest on a pelt to get something to wear, 27 cold res +1 fissure, 10 fhr and 2! sockets
Low quality weapon - perk 1 upgraded to normal - perk 3 upgraded to superior - 2 sock superior long bow
magic amulet - alternating between +7% res all and +1 elemental to boost my +1 fissure from the pelt. It actually still does a decent amount of damage, even in late act 3 on /p8
socketed armor - Stealth chain mail
unique ring - none (duh!)
crafted ring - none
superior belt - superior light belt 9% ed for a whooping 4 def.
ethereal boots - ethereal 5% ed superior boots
set items gloves - perk 2 downgraded to rare - 16 fire res, 18 cold res, ar, +2 str, half freeze, 8 mf heavy gloves
Weapon switch: low quality - crude dagger
Shield switch: socketed - 3 sock kite shield

Well, I started Frostbyte and got him to level 3, when I realised I forget to set him to hardcore =/ So, I started over with a new char, this time called Frostbite. We went through the den, bloodraven, and cain easily. His first NDE happened from a unique group of skely mages with cold. Anway, he is now level 16 at the outer cloister. I am basically using holy fire to get some extra damage, until I can pump up holy freeze.

Wp's(6)=6 points
quests(4)=8 points
Level(16)=-16 points
Total= -2 points

Equipment:
Belt: I am using a low defense 2 belt
Boots: Nothing yet =/
Shield:I regular targe with 5 to all resists
Armor: superior armor piece with about 30 defense
Weapon: Magical Scepter with about 5 leech life
Helm: Helm socketed with 2 rubies
Rings: none =/
Amulet: none=/
gloves: none =/
Weapon/shield switch: none....yet =/

P.S: I decided that I would use my perk to upgrade socketed shield on weapon switch into a rare, so I can use the Imbue later on with purpose.

P.S2: I may have missed something....but what does it mean when it says like...*8 belt (3 backed) *Scratches head* when I was asigned my equipment list.

 

[Vang]

As I'm new to the SPF, a real quick question. We allowed to re-enter this one? Or it a one time shot? If we are, real quick question concerning your rule on no "switching" Little lost on the exact details of that, for instance, I can't be a Barb with a S/S and a Two-hander and freely switch between the two depending on "threat level of area." Or is it mainly to discourge pre-buffing, or was it intended for if you use the same Switches, to only use your primary?

Then my follow-up would be, does the -10points from lightning trapper include a point in pre-req and in DeathSentry?

And lastly, if you have an ethereal Item that breaks, are you allowed to replace it with a low-quality item? (I kept my belt on previously even though it was busted, as it still allows the additional slot usage)

I take back my question =) I figured it out all by myself. because im a big boy. =/

Completed act1. Catacombs were incredibly scary, as I had hardly any armor. Andy wasn't so bad however, my 5% LL, heal pots, and zeal were enough to keep me alive and only running away once. I got Bloodfist as a drop there. Want to wear them, but can't =/

I used the Imbue on a targe and recieved nice results,

Sparky has found the Lost City WP and thus has achieved a second perk. For this one the Gloves were updated from Superior to Magic.

She's really cruising at the moment, I'd forgotten how powerful Charged Strike is early in the game. With the requirement for an even spread of stats, I think later in the game life will be invaluable as my Vit will be WAY lower than it would normally be because of all the points in Energy.

Update:
Level: 23 (-23)

Waypoints: 15 (15)
Total: 4

Perks:
1. Shield: Ethereal->Normal
2. Gloves: Superior->Magic

Hoorah, I've split all the druids in the table.

The big bug got splattered, and Sparky headed out into and through the jungle. The Council of Travincal were seen to and Sparky decided to overnight in Kurast Docks having found the waypoint in Mephisto's Durance.

All is still going ok, had one or two dicey situations, wouldn't quite call them NDE's though, mostly through overconfidence, and yet in each case, it was the overwhelming power of Charged Strike at this stage of the game that got her out of trouble. Even on players 8, boss-packs are annihilated in moments! I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

She's just worked out the talent to summon a valkyrie to aid her, so that will help even more.

Update:
Level: 30 (-30)
Quests: 16 (32) - Not imbued yet
Waypoints: 27 (27)
Total: 29

Perks:
1. Shield: Ethereal->Normal
2. Gloves: Superior->Magic
3. Gloves: Magic->(bypass Socketed)->Rare

Butz. :dunce:

Thanks zat :smiley: it's a decent roll I guess, I can't try it untill after the weekend though.

 

[skunkbelly]

As I'm new to the SPF, a real quick question. We allowed to re-enter this one? Or it a one time shot? If we are, real quick question concerning your rule on no "switching" Little lost on the exact details of that, for instance, I can't be a Barb with a S/S and a Two-hander and freely switch between the two depending on "threat level of area." Or is it mainly to discourge pre-buffing, or was it intended for if you use the same Switches, to only use your primary?

Then my follow-up would be, does the -10points from lightning trapper include a point in pre-req and in DeathSentry?

And lastly, if you have an ethereal Item that breaks, are you allowed to replace it with a low-quality item? (I kept my belt on previously even though it was busted, as it still allows the additional slot usage)

1. Yes, you can re-enter.

2. Weapon switching (by using the W key) is permitted. What you cannot do is change the type of weapon you use in the SAME SLOT repeatedly. Once you've committed one of your two weapon slots to be either one-hand or two-hand, it must remain that way. But you can switch back and forth from your primary weapon choice to your secondary weapon choice as often as you like. Prebuffing isn't a problem at all.

3. For the skills with the -10 penalty, you can put a point in as a prerequisite. You cannot use the skill however, and if it is a synergy, you cannot put points into it beyond the first point.

4. Yes, if an ethereal item breaks, you can replace it with a low-quality item until you find another ethereal item. But say you're wearing an ethereal rare gothic plate, and it breaks... you have to equip the next ethereal item you find, even if it is an etheral quilt armor. You can't keep a low-quality item in the slot until you find something good.

 

[Vang]

Cool, then I'll be playing a dual claw and claw/shield Assassin MA/Shadow Assassin/Fire Trap to avoid the -10 penalty. Roll me up please.

Quick update, as not much changed after the last one except my act and points. I had many NDE's this time. I got surounded by many skelys once, with the radament guys(forget their names) bashing me. Fortunatly my merc saved me. The same thing happened with the summoner, my merc saved me again. I had about a dozen close to deaths happen during Duriel. I have never fought him and have it that difficult before. Im guessing it had something to do with my 6 cold resist. =/

Btw, I finally found a rare ring to use.

 

[SuperSavage]

Heres where a lot of people forget about thawing potions, you should have had 56 cold resist against him at all times :thumbsup: Next time and forever make sure you use thawing potions against him... so much easier

LightningFury reaches Kurast Docks

LightningFury has defeated Duriel. She is currently at Level 28, so she will soon be putting skill points into her namesake skill and trying to find a way to develop a Valkarie at the same time.

Equipment has improved considerably. At the Lost City, she upgraded her gloves from magic to rare. Then she found a Gem shrine and put her flawless ruby in her backpack before touching it. That gave her the perfect ruby needed to craft a pair of blood boots. Finally, she found a nice splint mail with two sockets to turn into a stealth armor. Progress is slow, but it is relentless!

Now on to Kurast. I hate spiders.:undecided:
