Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

[CimminyCricket]

I'll be on late tonight :cD

[Nominus Experse]

Cim and I are going to race each other through the Blood Moor

[Tavrobel]

Teleport hack? I'm intrigued.

And yes, I realize it would be in 6 second bursts, but my god are they fast during those 6 seconds!

EDIT: Holy :skull::skull::skull::skull:, i just found out that Khalim's Will is just pure sex for starting characters.

It's part of a all-in-one item pick, teleport speed booster, and maphack. Quite ingenious.

Velocity maxes out at 146% of normal movespeed (base equipment).

Median?

[CimminyCricket]

Ok, I'll be on late tonight and I'm apparently going to race Mr. Nom.

[CimminyCricket]

DEAR GOD, DOUBLE POST I DEMAND AN XFER!

[Tavrobel]

How about not?

[Nominus Experse]

I won the footrace
SRL got second, and Cim just sucked got third.

Also, note that Infinity is now my favourite runeword. Skeletons hit more often, corpse explosion does 100% more damage when Amp is on; the enchantress is unstoppable; and traps are wicked, terrible things.

Mara can't seem to leave me alone. I found my third perfect Mara's today.

EDIT: WTF! I defeated the Ancients and I didn't level up?

If you're trading those perf mara's I hope you're selling them for the right price, 90%(guess) of perf mara's are duped, and legit ones are worth alot more.

Oh, and, by the way, I've duped before, so I know how dupers work. :rolleyes2

[Tavrobel]

Mara can't seem to leave me alone. I found my third perfect Mara's today.

EDIT: WTF! I defeated the Ancients and I didn't level up?

Don't let those go if on Ladder.

Median gives you the level, too. You won't level up if you're underlevel (glitch rush, which doesn't involve defeating the Ancients anyways).


If you're trading those perf mara's I hope you're selling them for the right price, 90%(guess) of perf mara's are duped, and legit ones are worth alot more.

If he trades them, I'll kill him myself.

[CimminyCricket]

I will also murder him, although I will do so with much more cunning and skill than the rest of you.

[Nominus Experse]

I love Mara. We're not going to end our relationship due to greed. I am hurt that you guys think I would be so base concerning my relationship with her.

I found an Arreat's Face and Ormus' Robes in one drop. This seems to have made B.net very upset and so it kicked me out...

EDIT: Yay, just one horn away from facing the Ubers!

[CimminyCricket]

I rule so much. With less than 170 mf I have found another SOJ, but this time it was much more satisfying. It dropped after I killed Diablo. In normal.

[Nominus Experse]

Fuck you

[CimminyCricket]

Coming from Mr. Three Perfect Mara's?
I can't believe you'd say such a thing, Nom, what's happened to our friendship?

[Nominus Experse]

The ring will destroy us!

[Flying Mullet]

Yes, the only answer is to destroy it by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom. Mount Doom also happens to be my stash. ;)

[Khaotic]

LoTR nerds!

[Tavrobel]

I found an Arreat's Face and Ormus' Robes in one drop. This seems to have made B.net very upset and so it kicked me out...

Did you get them both before the disconnect? Ifso, then don't tell us about it.


I rule so much. With less than 170 mf I have found another SOJ, but this time it was much more satisfying. It dropped after I killed Diablo. In normal.

And your point is? Normal Diablo drops SoJs because of his level.


LoTR nerds!

I am a Silmarillion nerd. Sue me.

[Nominus Experse]

It booted me out before I could pick them up. Apparently Mephisto doesn't want Ormus to know who stole his robes...

What teleport-hack do you use, Tav? If it's hush-hush, then simply PM me - if even you want to give it up.

[Tavrobel]

I couldn't even if I tried. The Google gods are holding me.

[Nominus Experse]

And the lurking viruses are keeping my search at bay.

Who wants to uber with me?

[Tavrobel]

I guarantee you that no one here can actually successfully Uber.

[Nominus Experse]

We'll see

[Tavrobel]

Solo, without dying? No one here can do that.

If killa's on, have him help you, and make sure you make all of your portals away from the stash.

[CimminyCricket]

As soon as I have my necro at a high enough level say 80 Nom and I are going to try :cD

[Nominus Experse]

I need to delete an entire account.

I will need a massive xfer.

EDIT:SRL helped me xfer about a 1/3 of my stuff before I mysteriously lost connection. I wasn't even given a realm down, so I don't know what exactly it means.

EDITRA: It is now complete. Thank you SRL.

The rest of B.net can go fuck itself.



You know - now that I have cooled down a bit, and am better able to take things in a much more controlled, appropriate manner - I am really quick thankful for being able to play and trade with you guys. I've yet to meet any of you, much less even see you, and yet... I trust you with what is sometimes hours of work/chance. Time and time again.

I don't know, maybe this isn't actually that rare, but I do realize now that what we have here - this little group of us - is something I've come to enjoy and cherish in some ways. It's a game, yes, but being able to trust and relate to other people I've never formally met... Well, it's nice.


I just want to say thanks - for everything.

[Giga Guess]

Y'know, I got thinking about that very fact a ways back myself. I've trusted each person in this thread to xfers where I've unloaded dozens of items I've never seen before, trusting you guys implicitly. I'm happy I'm able to do that.

[Flying Mullet]

And I love this group because no one misses any missing items when they xfer... :p

[Giga Guess]

And the fact that Mullet still hasn't discovered the program I embedded in an item that gives me access to all his banking information. Thanks for the new Bentley, man!

[Flying Mullet]

Just as long as you don't forget that B&B tour in it that you promised me.

[CimminyCricket]

While I am equally grateful that I can transfer without worry, I am even more grateful for the fun times I've had playing with everyone.
Even if I lost my entire account to the gods only know what, I'd still play, I'd start an entirely new account just to play with you all.

[Nominus Experse]

I was thinking that it may be beneficial if we had a list that was updated weekly of our "loan" inventory. What I mean by this is that we would have all have a list saying what items we have that we're not currently using, and so are perfectly able to be borrowed or had.

However, some people here have far too many items, and so this may simply be impossible, but it's a thought. I would be willing to do it, if anyone wants it.

I'm taking inventory of my mules and the like, so it's really no difficulty to me. Simply time-consuming, and I happen to have far too much time at the moment.

[Tavrobel]

However, some people here have far too many items.

Is this statement supposed to be some cruel joke?

[Nominus Experse]

In a way, yes, Tav.

How many mules do you have again?

[Tavrobel]

6

46+?

[Nominus Experse]

Good heavens...
We do love you for it though :P

Cim, what is your planned Skill layout for your summoner? I need to know whether or not to make a summoner that will invest in Clay Golem or Iggy. If you go with a Clay, I'll make a Pride Iggy.

I'll also see if I can get us some Summoning Charms. Having 72 Skellies between us might make the Ubers groan.

[CimminyCricket]

I was simply going to use a fire golem
I like when they explode xD
I really won't make a list of what I have, if you want it ask here.
If it's a rune word, I probably have the high runes available to just let you make it.
Whenever I trade, I trade for high runes, unless I'm trading hrs for other items.
And as for my summoner, it's just going to be skels mostly, and then a bad ass fire golem. I'll see what skills I have left when I get that far. I should know by 75 what other things I'm going to invest in.

[Flying Mullet]

If you want to see how badly you can lag the game, my summoner can join up sometime too. He has 26 skeletons and skeleton mages.

[CimminyCricket]

Right now I only have 17 but I'm still only 45
But just wait until he can wear all the gear I've set out for him xD

I'll also work on summoning charms

[Nominus Experse]

We need at least one Clay Golem to absorb damage and slow the Ubers down. Having a 48000 Life, 25% Physical Immunity, and a 72% Slow effect Clay Golem tanking is rather beneficial - if not outright required.

A Fire Golem will attract the enemy, which will destroy us in Uber Tristram. Additionally, the explosion of the Fire Golem does not inflict enough damage to be useful - unless you're a helpless, frantic Poisonmancer with nothing left.


Basically, here is a list of what we need when going to the Ubers:

Urdar/Gorebelly/Mauler revives
Terror Curse
Decrepify Curse
Clay Golem
Infinity
Guillaume's Face Winged Helm and a VERY high resist helm (Such as Kira's Guardian
Tiara) for mercenary
HOTO and Homonculus
CtA
Max resists on us
Teleport


When we plan to make our Uber game, we need to check both the River of Flame, Frigid Highlands, and Durance areas to see if they have a number of Gorebellies/Urdars/Maulers. We wish to revive these creatures since they house a 25% chance of Crushing Blow, along with a Smite attack. The size of these Revives also allow us to blob very effectively.

We need Terror in order to drive whatever minions the Ubers spawn away from our summons. If the summons focus on each Uber, it ought to drop quickly; however, they are easily distracted, and so this often over-looked curse comes into play.

Decrepify is an obvious curse. It does everything we want it to do: slow them by 50% - which when coupled with the Clay Goelm, ought to have us reach the 95% breakpoint - make them more vulnerable to physical attacks, and evens weakens their melee attacks. The Ubers will be at a standstill.

The Clay Golem is needed in order to slow the Ubers. It also has a gargantuan amount of life. Given that this golem also has a 25% physical immunity, it can tank for eons. It is not uncommon to see Clay Golems with upwards of 48000 life.

Infinity is needed on the mercenary because it does two things: it lowers the enemy's defense, allowing our minions to make connecting hits 50% more often, but also houses a very large amount of Crushing Blow. The secret to slaying the Ubers in an effective manner lies in Crushing Blow.

Guillaume's Face Winged Helm and a VERY high resist helm (Such as Kira's Guardian
Tiara) are needed to reach incredible resists on our mercs for when facing Mephisto, and to also come as close as we can to reaching the 90% chance of Crushing Blow breakpoint.

In essence, we want to make our merc invincible. So bring on the etheral-bugged armour and let us make some mad Forts/Duresses/CoHs!

HOTO and Homo are needed in order for us to achieve a respectable amount of resists. With a few charms, we ought to be maxed.

CtA is needed so that our minions and mercs won't die, but most importantly, so that we don't die ourselves.

Teleport is a given. It controls our minions, and lets us blob effectively.

[CimminyCricket]

I like fire golem xD Not to worry, I shall only have one point in all of the golems and I shall invest a few points into golem mastery.

As for you questions from the game:
Homonc=58
Don't bother with strength points, I have rings that give 10, 15 and 20 strength for you to use.

A dusk shroud has 118 or so as its strength requirement.
I have decided that we should use a pincer effect when the time comes versus simple attacking from the same side. But, keep in mind, running through the middle is not advisable as it summons the enemies. They'll come at my golem and when he's about to die I'll resummon him in the middle of the largest group of enemies and then again immediately after. This has worked for me on countless occasions. Of course, not during Ubers. I have only been present for 2 uber runs. One was my own with the help of Killa. The other I don't remember much because I was just sitting there in town.
Anyway, we will deal with all that as the time comes. I am still only 47 and will be that way for at least until next weekend. Or Sunday when I get back, I'm not sure the condition I will be in at that point.

[Nominus Experse]

I ought to be around level 80 by then, so I can rush/power-level you by doing Uber Duiel runs.

[Giga Guess]

I'd say I'm in, but I don't know if I have the power to pull it off...

Do the Ubers have that ungodly regeneration that Uber Diablo did?

[VorpalCyberWolf]

I'd join, though the only char I have at a decent level is my Necro and that might be just too many Skellys since mine would add another 26ish... then again, that might be half the fun. :p

[Flying Mullet]

We should make a game of all summoners. With an average of 26 skellys per character, 8 golems, 8 mercs and the characters themselves we would have 224 bodies on the screen. Add in god knows how many summons and we could get close to 400 bodies on the screen. xD

[VorpalCyberWolf]

We should get 7 necros and a fanata pally, because with all of the merc auras plus fanata would be joyous.

[Nominus Experse]

OMFG that would be so much fun.

8 players
8 Mercs
8 Golems
26-36 x 8 Skeletons (If every Skeleton hits, that's around 259200 damage "per swing")
20 - 25 x 8 Revives
8 Oak Sages

It wouldn't be impossible to get 500 bodies on the screen - just between us.


We would get a c/i so swiftly it wouldn't even be funny.

[Tavrobel]

...

Anyways, I have found numerous holes in your plan.

Urdar class enemies don't always spawn.

Ubers are resistant to slow and Decrepify, so it's not worth considering. Stun is reduced to a very minimal amount, so you need repeated stuns.

Infinity doesn't do crap so long as their resistances are above 100%, and the key to killing Ubers isn't CB, which is minimalized against the Ubers, but rather, Stun. All Conviction Auras are nullified as long as Mephisto's remains intact, unless yours is of a higher level.

The only armor your Mercenary should use is Fortitude.

I will agree that your resistances will suck without Hoto.

CtA should only be used by one person, and that is the person who has the highest total skills bonus, and a +6 BO CtA.

Teleport may be good, but beware all AoE attacks. of which the Ubers have plenty of.

Dusk Shrouds have a 77 Strength requirement. Archon Plates are 103.

A pincer attack won't work, unless you have a target that can move at will, and lure everyone away. In essence, you really wanna get one of the Ubers alone from the others, and run.

Ubers do not have regeneration. They do, however, have HP.

Do not use multiple Oak Sages. You only need one. Same with Auras: deversify, and let only the strongest be active, unless you have two of comparable strength.

also, for damage per swing, I do beleve that you forgetting a very vital piece of the puzzle: defense. Defense factors in per hit. Also, difficulty scales per player in game; if you have eight summoners, much less one, that will cause a very major occasion of lag, where every second spent alive is crucial, not that you can react.

So really, the most effective party would be:
Zealadin (for Fanatcism) or Avenger (for Conviction)
BO Barbarian
Smiter (you need stun, DESPERATELY)
Druid (Oak Sage)
Trapsin (no, really?)
3 Summoners

Oddly enough, I have three characters on three accounts capable of fulfilling that role. However, should I choose to develop my second Frenzy Barbarian, it would be even MORE effective, but nah. If I ever feel like telling SRL to develop my Frenzy Barbarian on Rothinzil, I'll let him know.

[CimminyCricket]

BAH! Who cares, if things get really out of hand, we'll call killa, or we'll just play for a while in that game racing and dueling and what not.
Two Summon necros guaranteed, come now, tell me that won't make a wonderful duel.

[Flying Mullet]

I would say it would be a glorious bloodbath, but there's no blood. :(

[CimminyCricket]

There could be, I propose that we all get together in any city, bringing a variety of Middle Age weaponry and lay waste to the city.

[Flying Mullet]

It would be fun to try and battle the NPCs, just like other MMORPGs.

[SeeDRankLou]

A Smiter is not the only source of stun. With a few more levels to my Singing Barb and the last few items I want for him, I will be able to cast a 7+ second stun, and he already has enough fcr to hit the 8 frames per second cast rate. Even if the Ubers reduce stun length substantially, if the stun will last for longer than 8 frames I cause a stun lock (or I will be able to). Also, my barb currently has a level 33 BO on weapon switch.

But can the Ubers be stunned? Their act boss counterparts cannot be stunned (doesn't mean they can't, I'm just saying).

[Tavrobel]

But can the Ubers be stunned? Their act boss counterparts cannot be stunned (doesn't mean they can't, I'm just saying).

Yes, they can be Stunned, otherwise, Smiters would be useless, and Zealers or Frenzy would rule Uber.

Smite Stun does normal damage and Stun to all, but War Cry affects Champions and Uniques at a reduced rate of 33%. Uber usually reduce things even further, but I don't think anyone has bothered to bring a Singing Barb to an Uber fight. Barbarians hold the longest Stun possible coming from their Stun attack.

Recant. Check chart. War Cry is reduced versus Uniques and Champions, but Smite is not. Or maybe it is, but due to Fanatcism, the cooldown on each attack is < one second. Killa's Smite is quicker than Vanwa's Frenzy speed. FCR would likely be harder to fix versus IAS.

Stun does a 4.5 second Stun at level 20. (Barb)
Smite does 4.4 second Stun at level 20. (Pally)
War Cry does a 4.8 second Stun at level 20. (Barb)
Werebear; Maul does a 3.4 second Stun at level 20. (Druid)
Werebear; Shockwave does a 13 second Stun at level 20. (Druid)
Twister does .4 second Stun at all levels. (Druid)

After research, as it seems, a Werebear is the best idea to bring to a fight.

[Nominus Experse]

The Ubers only have around 3k Defense. You seem to be missing my intentions for Infinity, Tav. A summoner does not use Infinity in order to lower resists. He uses it to lower the enemy's Defense, which will allow his minions to strike that much more often.

Decrepify is effective against the Ubers. It also removes their 50% Physical Immunity.

No, Urdars and the like do not always spawn, which is why we will have to scout out the areas I mentioned in my previous post. If there are not any of these creatures in said areas, then we shall remake.

Having 8 Summoners would be suicide, and having 8 Sages would be pointless, as would having auras of the same type - the number of sages was only mentioned as a hypothetical number of bodies that could possibly be summoned between all of us. You know that Tav.

We're not so stupid to think having us all have the same aura would be effective.




I consider your lack of belief that a summoner necro can solo an ultimatum.

We shall see. I'll record my venture and post the link here when the time comes.

[Nominus Experse]

Eldritch forgot his Orb in the Worldstone Keep, apparently.... I'll keep it until he wants it back.

[Giga Guess]

Stats?

[Nominus Experse]

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2593/26757141iw0.jpg

[Tavrobel]

Wow, that's actually a very good Eschuta's (15% Lightning).

Ohh, by the way, Eschuta is a female, as the weapon is Sorceress only, and Sorceresses are clearly female. Therefore, Eschuta has to be a female, according to DII, not DI.

Infinity, for the Prevent Heal? Still needless, as HP regen isn't quite nearly as high as Lilith's. Also, the -55% Lightning doesn't work until their Convictions are both overridden and resistance broken.

Also, I do highly doubt a Summoner can do it. If you want to do it on 1-player and record it, be my guest. You'll need a mod. No ITH items, Ogre Rings, Ogre Gloves, Ogre Amulets, please; regular Uniques and Runewords. Ladder-only are acceptable.

[Nominus Experse]

Hmm, never knew that about Eschuta. A shame it wasn't the 20% that it's capable of being....

[SeeDRankLou]

Also, I do highly doubt a Summoner can do it. If you want to do it on 1-player and record it, be my guest. You'll need a mod. No ITH items, Ogre Rings, Ogre Gloves, Ogre Amulets, please; regular Uniques and Runewords. Ladder-only are acceptable.
Such little faith you have. Why would he need a mod? What is ITH, and what are Ogre items (maybe if I knew I would understand your restriction)?

YouTube - Fast Necro Tristram Run (http://youtube.com/watch?v=B1tPFaNJDZI)

And that's just one, there are several.

[Nominus Experse]

So I am right - it can be done with a summoner. The player in that video used almost an identical strategy I am planning.

Diablo looks like he'll be the worst of the 3.

[Tavrobel]

I like how there were no spawned enemies the entire time until Baal and Diablo. I remain skeptical.

I also like how the Necro in the game had what, 8 GCs? You've got approximatly the same items, so I'll give you that. But what you don't have is a pre-owned Annihulus, NTorch, and Arach's. Skills matter.

Ogre items are white items in one player that are hacked items from the Realms, containing superior mods, such as +all skills, +resistance, +walk/run speed, +FCR, +IAS, and others all at the same time. ITH items are also bugged items, involving messed up runewords, and the rune Ith (how ironic?). They make you invincible.

[CimminyCricket]

Dear me, people can actually do that?

[Tavrobel]

I thought you had played Diablo II online before, Cim.

[CimminyCricket]

Never

[Tavrobel]

Obviously not.

[CimminyCricket]

I'll get Nom and myself a Necro torch this weekend, my plans have been canceled.

[Nominus Experse]

Why were they canceled?

[CimminyCricket]

Because my job refused to give me the day I required off so that I may attend the MANDATORY Marine function for the weekend. So to say the least, I'm afraid my recruiter may be in for some trouble on my part. Before you suggest that I quit my job, let me say this: I need it for extra credits. Not for classes, but for graduation credits. I played around too much tenth and eleventh grade and am short two credits. Credits I will have if I keep this job until June 8th.

[CimminyCricket]

Wow, wtf:

Error 22: A critical error has occurred while initializing DirectDraw.

WTF

[Tavrobel]

There seem to be alot of errors.

[CimminyCricket]

Haha, that is the only error I've seen so far.

[Nominus Experse]

My copy of Diablo will randomly close sometimes, with no error message(s) to even mark its sudden suicide.

At first I thought it might be due to a safety feature in Map Hack, but it performs a phantom Alt+F4 without MH on - and even in Single Player.

Hasn't happened for a while, but when it does, it's rather difficult to take in without a little bit of WTF?



Also, is there a mod that allows one to reach Uber Tristram in Single Player? I've checked Google and the Phrozen Keep, but I can't seem to find one. I'm sure there's one out there.

It'd be nice to emulate the necromancer I have now - to see if it's actually possible for me to make a run yet.


I HATE ANYA. She had a claw with +3 Traps, but it had other, crap mods on it... Worse than the HOTO I'm currently using.

Drognan was nicer to me....

EDIT:
I now officially want to have sex with Nihilthak...

[CimminyCricket]

Why? Cause you suck?

[Tavrobel]

Is that real, and was it on the realms?

BTW I hate you.

[Nominus Experse]

I found it last night while doing key runs.

I promptly orgasmed and then died, but my body continued to flail about in a frantic frenzy of joy and incomprehension.

And yes, I would hate myself if in your position. 158 MF FTMFW!

[Tavrobel]

At least I can take solace in the fact that without my help you would be nowhere.

[CimminyCricket]

You suck.

[Tavrobel]

It seems as though every time I claim that Nom does not have an item, it will magically appear to him.

So you don't have a Crown of Ages. Any good character needs one of those.

[Nominus Experse]

LAWL, it does seem that way. Yes, keep saying I don't have a Crown of Ages. I've yet to even see one of those.

And yes, Tav, I believe it all started with Enigma....

[Tavrobel]

Enigma is one of them overpowered Runewords.

[CimminyCricket]

SOMEONE PLEASE GET ON, I NEED TO TRANSFER!!

[Nominus Experse]

Enigma...

It transformed me from a nubcake to a lucky bastard.

What can Enigma do for YOU?

[CimminyCricket]

Well, what am I supposed to do now? :c\
Apparently every good char needs one.

[Nominus Experse]

The REAL CROWN OF AGES will not suffer such ignorance, Cim!

http://www.ggd2.com/coa.jpg

[Tavrobel]

Nom, did you find that CoA or is that a screenshot of someone else's?

If you did, then dear God, man.

[CimminyCricket]

xD Oh, crown of ages. oops
I saw "crown of" and thought oh! this is it.
And yes, Tav, that's a screen shot.That's why it's got a regular buckler and nothing else.

[CimminyCricket]

LOL

[Nominus Experse]

I need to redo my Enchantress...

This makes three now...

[CimminyCricket]

Why?

[Nominus Experse]

I placed too many points in Strength and Dexterity

[SeeDRankLou]

How many is too many?

[CimminyCricket]

Enough to star over it would seem.

[Tavrobel]

For a Sorceress, Life matter, so if it's probably more than five above where it should be for either one, that's enough.

[LunarWeaver]

Well, I'm back into playing this game. I'm running under the account LunarWeaver because I'm an inventive person and I like to outdo the last name I used. Sir Taffy forced me with threats of anal-hamsters asked me to give my info, and I did, so when he puts it up that will be that.

Since I'm just getting around again, I have a few builds I'd like to play around with. So if anybody is ever looking for a person to start from scratch with I'd be game for that.

Oh, Battle.net, how I've missed thee. I'd forgotten just how incredibly depressing all of earth's human population is without you *snuggle*

[CimminyCricket]

xD

I'm so excited!


New account, RebellionSoul

[Tavrobel]

I know I promised to update this stuff iwthin the week, but that's not going to happen. School and all that, and I am currently rekindling my love for Sakura and Tomoyo of Cardcaptor Sakura. They are both smurfing hot, and I don't care what any of you have to say about it, because they are hot, and therefore, own you.

[CimminyCricket]

Wait, I remember that. Aren't they elementary school kids?

[Tavrobel]

But they are hot. Remember, that schoolkids turn into teenagers, and then college co-eds.

Technically, I am more enamoured of their Tsubasa counterparts, but the person is the person.

[CimminyCricket]

O_o But right now she's a kid.
You're calling a kid hot, Tav.
xD

[Tavrobel]

Have you even seen Cardcaptor Sakura? Good lord man, at least know the source! Only those two. And they are fictional and drawn. Therefore, it's okay. But, their Tsubasa counterparts are adults.

[CimminyCricket]

I haven't watched it from what I'm assuming is the first season.
Or I've seen something completely different known as Card Captors

[Tavrobel]

Cardcaptors is the American version. Tsubasa is something completely different, even though it features some CCS characters. I originally watched the American version, also.

[CimminyCricket]

It's crap.

[Tavrobel]

My feelings on that Jerhynashasndhashasdh dumb ass
That made me chuckle. :)

My summoner can now Uber
How many skeles/mages are you up to now Nom?

[Nominus Experse]

15 Skels and 15 Mages, with Lvl 20 Concentration, ~18-20 Might, 9 Fanaticism, and 12 Conviction auras.

If I went with HOTO instead of Beast, I would be able to achieve 17 skels, I believe, but they wouldn't be inflicting as much damage.

[CimminyCricket]

I'll not be playing for a while. My computer exploded.

[SeeDRankLou]

I haven't been playing much lately. I started a new character, on a new account (louisw). She is SRLmagiTek, she's an enchantress who will be sporting two dreams w/ max lightning mastery by the end of her build. That with a tricked out act 3 cold merc, and she'll be good to go. (that reminds me, I should have Taco Bell for lunch). I'll try to play more, but with finals having taken up a lot of my time, celebrating the semester being over, and celebrating my friend getting her Ph.D, I've been busy and now have become used to having a life again, now that I can.

And despite your worrying Tav, you stuff is fine. Except for that mule that hasn't been permed yet, didn't have time to do anything with it. I did trade one of your high runes with one of Cim's, and used a Lem, but that's it.

But now that I have used your Lem, my Singing Barb now has a level 18 Sanctuary (undead PI's no longer PI) and Berserk with one of the synergies maxed for the non-unead PI's, which covers everything. He can now solo hell. Exciting stuff.

[Nominus Experse]

I found a Bow & Crossbow Skiller for you Cim

OMG... I did Baal runs for two and a half hours... I found two skillers in the middle of it though (Traps)

[CimminyCricket]

Ooo! Thanks, Nom. When I get access to a computer and can log on, what do you want for it?

[LunarWeaver]

Chimney's compy went splody? :cry: That really sucks, mate. I hope you can fix it soon <3.

I found my own Earthshaker, so you can have yours back now if you want. And Sir Taffy, you can have all the stuff you lent me back if you'd like as well. I know you both said it was mine to keep, but we say a lot of things. I mean, I say I brush my teeth everyday, but that doesn't make it the truth, so if you do want anything back I will gladly hand it over.

On the note of being a leech the size of Rosie O' Donnell's vocal chords, I don't suppose somebody has some awesome bow sitting around and they're just dying to hock it over to me. Although a complete stranger did give me Lycander's, and that's been getting me through Nightmare just fine. In return, I gave him an oreo cookie. It had the center licked out already, but the point is the gesture, so y'all can just fuck yourselves. Now I've forgotten what this paragraph is even about.

Edit: Also, what's with the uber thing. I know they drop the Torches, and I know what they are, but what are they? Are they in hell somewhere? Do they smell of peaches and play the banjo? If not they're rubbish.

[CimminyCricket]

I've a Harmony you can use. I'll see if Giga has time to get it to you. :C)

[Giga Guess]

I have a Harmony?! I don't recall this.

[CimminyCricket]

I do, and you have the passwords to my accounts. xD
And since I'm computerless I was going to ask you to log on and give it to him! :c)

[LunarWeaver]

Harmony, saucy! Well, don't worry about that for the moment, just focus on your compy. :heart: And you dun have to bother with it if you don't want to Giga :( I feel troublesome now. I feel TROUBLED. Note I gave you a real heart instead of the less than three kind, so feel special.

A RANT COMETH:
I'd like to take this time to say that I hate the Sorceress. Nay, I do not hate her, but I hate Blizzard and the people who use her. Sure, I'll make my own every now and then, but they're overpowered and they sicken me.

Alright, the real problem is that she attracts the people that annoy me. The ones who say everything a minimum of three times in a row because The Great Jubbah knows I can't read the letters "pp" unless my entire screen is plastered with it. These are the people who say "Ur week and retarted". Why, just today a sorceress told me she was doing all the work and the rest of us were useless because she's so UBER POWAHFUL1!!11!!! To which I chortled and demanded he calm his goddamn soggy pants down and inject a lethal dose of shut the hell up.

If I ran the show, teleport would require 50% of your maximum MP at level 300 and she'd get one hit point per 30 vitality. But that's because I'm a communist and that's how business is done in Soviet Russia. Considering the sorc gets to do 4785924574293k damage from across the screen, it only seems fair to me. Excuse me while I use my martial Assassin to do less than half the damage in twice the time of a sorceress spell while being in danger's way to boot *goes*.
END RANT.

[CimminyCricket]

xD
More RANTS!
Oh, and there's no way I'm fixing that computer. Seven years old and only 128 ram isn't worth it. I'll be getting one soon, I hope.

[Tavrobel]

Edit: Also, what's with the uber thing. I know they drop the Torches, and I know what they are, but what are they? Are they in hell somewhere? Do they smell of peaches and play the banjo? If not they're rubbish.

Get SRL to get my stuff. He can give you some low level stuff, as well.

You need to get nine Keys, three from Countess, Summoner, and Nihlathak. Synth a set of keys to get to the Organ bearers. Synth three different organs and get to Uber Tristram. Hell only.

[Giga Guess]

Where are you Lunar? And can you resend Exiled's pass? The one I have doesn't work.

[CimminyCricket]

K will do.
Harmony is on Craft on CimBow :cD

[Giga Guess]

K will do.

Okay...I wasn't sure.

[LunarWeaver]

Wheeeee~ Thanks for the Harmony, Chimney! And gratitude to Giga for taking the time to give it to me. You're both worth 10 cents in my book. And I'm cheap, so that's a lot. Rejoice for all!

My zon's so cute with vigor :jess: I want to put her in my pocket and cover her in jess stickers.

[Tavrobel]

Jess stickers aren't that great. I would go for the M'avina's Set.

[LunarWeaver]

Then I would be shiny and I could fry eggs upon my ass just as I dreamed of since the beginning of time. BEAUTY TEAR :cry:

[CimminyCricket]

I have at least 3 Mavina Belts xD

[Tavrobel]

I have at least 3 Mavina Belts xD

I have at least three accounts.

[CimminyCricket]

So do I, lol xD

[Tavrobel]

But my characters own and don't blow up cans.

[Flying Mullet]

Why could your characters possibly blow up butts? :confused:

[Tavrobel]

It's called a fire spell, Mulley.

[Nominus Experse]

It's strange to think that 8k life is what I would consider fragile...

[LunarWeaver]

My 430 HP feels sad :hahaha:.

I have mav's belt and mav's gloves, but I'm not even going to bother trying to get the rest. Some stranger gave me the gloves when he gave me the Lycander's bow. And yesterday somebody gave me a Gull Dagger, Chance Guards, 24% rare MF boots, a +1 sorc with 35% mf ammy, and a Gheed's Fortune. Then late somebody gave me a Viscawhatever +1 sorc shield, then later still somebody gave me Frostburns. Strangers keep giving me things. I must have a severe aura of desperation :jess:.

And Nom gave me a Lidless and now I <3 him.

Last night, some 14-year-old kid named kornnn told me and my friend Yummie that we were too old to be playing games and we should get a life. I considered pointing out to him that the game is rated M and he's not legally old enough to play it yet, but I figured it wouldn't be worth it. The game-age stigma still isn't dead? Christ, I was getting told this by children when I was, like, 17. When I'm 30, I'm never going to hear the end of it.

[CimminyCricket]

When you're thirty I'll be the one reminding you.

[LunarWeaver]

What's wrong with 30-year-olds playing games D: I plan to play them for as long as they continue to hold my interest :jess:.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Good for you, that's the way it should be. Does anyone have any decent medium level pally gear I might possibly be able to loan?

[Tavrobel]

I might, but I don't get on alot. Ask SRL for a loan. He is currently overseeing my accounts.

[Giga Guess]

I think I saw a Mav armor on one of Cim's mules...but I wouldn't feel comfortable shuffling it off without his confirmation.

[Nominus Experse]

I hate this game: I just lost my Perfect Pride Iron Golem to a useless curse cast by an Oblivion Knight...

8k life, how you have failed me....

[SeeDRankLou]

And thus, I was worried about you using a Pride for an Iron Golem. I felt something like that was going to happen sometime.

[Nominus Experse]

It was a risky decision, but I wanted to do it all the same. There was something about being welcomed with a creaky Iggy every time I entered a game...

I miss my Poisonmancer. I believe it is high time that I make a better one.

Back to spamming Lower Resist and Poison Novas!

[CimminyCricket]

I think I saw a Mav armor on one of Cim's mules...but I wouldn't feel comfortable shuffling it off without his confirmation.


I dont remember if I do, but go ahead and look. Plus there's a Guardian Angel on one of them for BadKarm. I'm currently unable to play so if someone needs something and they ask, give it too them, just write down or tell me what it was so I'm not wondering.


Made a stupid decision

xD

[LunarWeaver]

I don't know if this will help much, but I have a rare +1 Paladin amulet with all four resists and 24% magic find you can have, Karm. That's all the Pally gear I've found so far =/

Nom, I made a grave for your Iron Golem. He helped me with many Ancients and many Baal runs in his day. Goodbye, Pride :cry:

[Flying Mullet]

Good for you, that's the way it should be. Does anyone have any decent medium level pally gear I might possibly be able to loan?
Is there any type of gear you are in greater need of?

[Khaotic]

Who would like to have my account?

[Nominus Experse]

If you really wish to give it away, I'll take. Though, I have to ask:

Why?

[LunarWeaver]

Does anybody have some Immortal King boots? I don't have much to give for them, but I have collected like 15 pgems that I will trade. I'm trying to make a WhirliBarb, and the man needs some equipment. I have the gloves and belt already, and I think those three together give great green bonuses and natural bonuses <3.

Also, Meph is epic fail. I ran him in NM half the day yesterday with 363% MF on and I didn't keep a single thing he dropped me because it was all awful. Then my friend Yummie comes on with 0% MF and does that stupid stat quest in act-3 for fun and he finds a Herald of Zakuram and an Ali Baba in the same game within 10 minutes. This is why all of Act III is the devil.

[SeeDRankLou]

I'm sure one of us has the Immortal King boots, I'll try to find them.

[Nominus Experse]

Must... not place... points... in STR until.... lvl 75...

[Giga Guess]

Do iiiit....Do iiiit....you know you want to, Nom.

[LunarWeaver]

I want to carry VietNom and his Lower Resist in my pocket at all times :(

[CimminyCricket]

I have the helm, belt, and maul for IK if you need them, Lunar.

[Nominus Experse]

The only time my Necro is ever shown any love is from Sorceresses (Lower Resist) or noobs who die incessantly from Black Souls (Dim Vision)...

Woe is me, for I am but a curse bearing machine in multi player games, nothing more.


LOL, not really, though those with big heads/slow internet connections/just plain idiots/George Lucas tend to try and make me nothing more than just that.

Swarm the infidel, my minions! Make his payment terrible!

[LunarWeaver]

That's not true, Vietnom! I love the man behind the curses too :jess:. Alright, I just like your Lower Resist and not you. There, I said it. I SAID IT.

Chimney! I really do need the maul and helmet if you don't mind letting me borrow them. I have the belts, boots, and gloves already, and my sexy maul barb is coming along nicely. He goes RAWR and the demons are like "zomg" and I'm PEWPEWSPIN and they're all like "blargh I'm ded." Okay, I'm done now.

[Giga Guess]

I'll thumb through the mules tomorrow.

[Tavrobel]

I definitely know that I have a spare IK Helm with two PTopaz in them, as well as several IK Mauls.

[CimminyCricket]

My helms are all open sockets xD

[Fonzie]

I want the game so badly. I can't find my old install disks though. Woe is me. :(

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Sorry I havent been on here.... well I've been on D2 plenty but not on EoFF. Eitherway, the gear I need in particular are a HoZ and an arachnid belt and possibly a Seraph ammy. IF anyone has any I could borrow/buy I would be greatful.

[Nominus Experse]

Cim has a HoZ, though I don't know what he plans to do with it.

[CimminyCricket]

Was going to turn it into hrs at a later time.
So long as I get it back when I need it, Karm can use it.

[Tavrobel]

My helms are all open sockets xD

Socketing an IK Helm with anything other than PTopaz is a waste of the Gems and of the Hel rune and Scroll of Town Portal you're going to use to unsocket it.


I want the game so badly. I can't find my old install disks though. Woe is me. :(

Cim can send you a set. He seems to have multiple sets of the game, and has done this once before.

By the way, I have come to the conclusion that HoZ sucks for anything besides trade value. There are much better equipment options for any of the Paladin builds to use.

Hammerdin - Spirit
Zealadin - Exile

Fonz, you can ignore the post above mine, since it's useless, and I can say whatever I want, because in terms of DII salvation, I am infallible. Like the Pope, but with a not-as-heavy hat. And it's green. Not red.

Alternatively, Cim can also find a way to procure a Diablo II set before I rage out on him for not having one.

[CimminyCricket]

Must I do everything?

[Tavrobel]

Yes.

[CimminyCricket]

Oh, ok then.
I'll see what I can dig up CD wise.
If need be I can find CDs and a CD-Key for you.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Was going to turn it into hrs at a later time.
So long as I get it back when I need it, Karm can use it.

You can turn it into hrs now if you want (Or when you can get on again). I have plenty, just let me know how many and which you prefer.

[Fonzie]

Cim is their a way you send me the files too install through the internet? Like upload onto filefront maybe?

[CimminyCricket]

I know nothing of files.
Tavrobel, it seems you are the man for the job.

Prolly, 9-10, I'll be on saturday.

[Tavrobel]

I tried to send the requisite files once before, but they don't seem to work. I have a strong feeling that Diablo II is copy-protected, so a legitimate CD is required for installation; not sure about online play.

I would've bought a fresh copy of both games over the weekend, but I had no money with which to do my purchase. If you happen to live near Philadelphia, and are familiar with Willow Grove or Montgomery Malls, the Gamestops there have a 50% off offer on both games, totalling a cost of twenty dollars.

Alternatively, you could find a way to illegally install DII, a CD-crack to play, and a CD-key-generator for both games. It might be easier just to buy the game. Less illegal and time-consuming, too.

[Fonzie]

I might try to ask too borrow my friends copy. He doesn't play it anymore.

[Tavrobel]

Remember to get the CD-Key, if he knows it. For both games, the CD-Key is only on the CD-case/sash.

[Fonzie]

I know, I once had the game. I might try this weekend if I can find another CD number of one of my old accounts.

Poor Giga... You seem to be lent SoJs periodically, only to have us taking them back...



...lol

[Tavrobel]

That's why there's such a thing called SoJ duping.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

I'll be on tomorrow for sure.

[Nominus Experse]

Ah, the days of dealing 5 to 65000 damage are once more upon me.

[Tavrobel]

Something tells me you have a very strong Lightning Sorceress.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Or you finally got your Trappasin to a significant level.

BTW, Giga and Cim. I am on now to reclaim my SoJ and purchase your HoZ.

[Tavrobel]

Trapsins can't do as much damage, and they do not have such a low limit. Also, only the Sorceress is capable of doing so much damage, due to the number of +skills and +% damage that are readily available. Though Traps have many synergies, Light Sorceress still do more (the correct damage is under-advertised by the character screen, while a Trapsin's damage is within range). Sorceress damage also accelerates faster.

[VorpalCyberWolf]

I see. I just said that because I know Nom has been working on a trapsin for the last week. *shrug*

[Tavrobel]

Possibly, since I haven't been on in forever.

By the way, cancel my recant on the transfer. Nom, you're still going to help me, whether you like it or not.

Whenever someone has a chance, I'd LOVE a cow game.

Cim, I made 35 of those runs, and an additional 15 Nightmare ones...
Remind me to never do that again.

However, if you need more runs made tomorrow, and/or a Nightmare rush, I can do so easily. Simply post here or PM me.

And as a reminder, Lunar has the B&C Skiller

Baka. Never do more than 4 cow runs while leveling a character. Once you get to 20, find an 8 player game, and keep doing that until 24. At 24, do Ancients, for 25, and then Baal. Baal is far more competent than Cows. You shouldn't need to even touch a Nightmare Cows.

Don't use B&C as an acronym for an Amazon skillset. It's already got one by the name of "bow gc." It's too confusing with pb, which is the Necromancer Poison and Bone skillset, and people take Amazon for granted when Bows or Crossbows are mentioned.

I still want that Median xfer.

[CimminyCricket]

Tav, we only did 3-4 games of cows whilst leveling my character. Nightmare cows tends to have a large amount of gems, perhaps Nom is in that mood. I understood what he meant by "B&C", so what's the problem?

[Giga Guess]

So I'm assuing you're back playing, eh, Cim? :p

[CimminyCricket]

For a bit. :c)

[Tavrobel]

Because B&C is annoying.

[CimminyCricket]

How so? Bow and Crossbow. Poison and Bone. Both have two letters. I'm not sure I see the annoying thing here.

[Tavrobel]

B&C is harder to type, it's easily confused with P&B (remember that in Blizzard games, you don't exactly have the luxury of time), and "bow" is already the used acronym. I see the & and I instantly say P/B, but if someone sees "bow" then it's also a given. I already explained this.

[CimminyCricket]

So it's really only annoying to you and no one else here? Perhaps, you should just not worry about it then?

[Tavrobel]

It's still annoying as hell, and I'll complain as much as I damn well want.

SRL is going to get an earful. I explicitly told him that I had created a new Druid, and that it should be logged in every week, and he told me that it was all done and good, but NO, it expired.

Someone remind me that my Grief is on Mule 43.

Tavs_Bitch made Tav feel much lighter today

If you need another xfer sometime, simply PM when I'm online, Tav. More likely than not, I'll be able to send in Tavs_Bitch.

[Tavrobel]

I doubt that I'll need my bitch for awhile. All I need now is for Maxx Power to play, simply because we both have high level characters,

[LunarWeaver]

I think I have the Median mod somewhere, oddly enough. But who knows what I'm doing or saying or thinking at all anymore, so maybe not.

I hate when my characters reach Hell :(. Nobody actually plays the game, so you have no choice but to go through with friends or get rushed, and then it's just watching Hammerdins during baal games. It's so bleh. I want to make "non-textbook" chars like a Spearazon or Healer Pally, but when each difficulty is completely revolved around Baal runs, there's no point =/

Spirit ftw.

[CimminyCricket]

xD I'll be making a Javazon soon, so you and I can BLOW through everything in Nightmare and Hell! :cD

[LunarWeaver]

I want to make a poison necro <3. And they come with Lower Resist. And Lower Resist with your javazon will be teh godleh, si?

[CimminyCricket]

I have no idea. I haven't even thought of what equip besides weapon, belt and shield to put on her. xD

[LunarWeaver]

Just equip a Titan's and shoot Lightning Fury you dirty conformist.

[Nominus Experse]

Lunar, I have all the equipment a Poisonmancer could ever want, so if you want some equipment, tell me. Just realize I also love PMancers, and so I may randomly take it all back someday.

If you want opinions/advice on where to place skills and stats, I can also provide such a thing.


Some interesting builds are FoH pallys, Bowsins and Blade Fury 'sins, Singer Barbs are insanely fun, Dreamer Sorcs and Pallys, Meleemancers, or you could make a suicide-oriented character by placing tons of facets on him/her.


To annoy b.net, I'm considering making a Terror-oriented character to fuck Baal runs up.

[LunarWeaver]

I've made poison and bone necros before, so I'm comfortable with the build, but any equipment would be delicious.

All of those would be fun, but without anybody to play with, it's just blah. It's BLAH. Which is why one day I will get you, Koast, and Chimney together and the four of us will make 'original' chars and play them. And none of you have a choice.

Make a barb that maxes out the Totem thing :bigsmile:.

Edit: I'd also like to say that I think Attract is an underrated skill. It's not as good as having lots of summons, but it can take the place of summons well enough if you don't have the points and you use it right. Attract is love, y'all. :smash:

[Nominus Experse]

There's a bunch of equipment that has chance to cast Terror on hitting, striking, and being struck also. So I could simply jack my Life up to huge degrees and stand there will I get pummeled and cast Terror automatically.

Then they would never know it was me.

Or I could jack Mindblast up to around lvl 51 and watch as the enemy waltzed about until suddenly attacking a noob. The Conversion Pally skill would work as well.


Hmmm... A real interesting, delicate build would be to make a build that focused on having mounters kill each other. You could call the build The Convictor or something...

[LunarWeaver]

I like you because you're a genius. And because you smell nice when you sleep. But mostly the genius thing.

[Flying Mullet]

To add on to your suicide build Nom, I always thought it would be fun to make an Iron Maiden Necromancer or Thorns Paladin, equip them with a lot of Thorns-related equipment, pump up life and sit back and watch the enemy kill itself without lifting a finger.

[CimminyCricket]

Yay!

[Nominus Experse]

The suicidal-thorns pally doesn't quite work, unless you feel particularly great only living in Normal difficulty. In Hell difficulty, even with a lvl 42 Thorns aura and almost 5k life, I was only able to kill two of Eldritch's horde before my Life bulb ran dry.

I tried employing a suicidal mercenary, which sort of worked, though the process was tedious and long. There was some humour in reviving a lvl 12 merc to act as a Lvl 40-50 Fire/Cold/Lightning/Poison bomb, however...


I have decided to make a Glass Cannon, though I'm not sure which skills to chose. Whoever has made a Bowazon before, please enlighten me.

EDIT (after hours of experimentation via SP):

OMFG, a Bowazon's AR is disgusting.

And when under the influence of a Combat Shrine, it's astronomical...

Attention:

Now that I have your attention, please PM all update information for characters. Since I refuse to come online for anything whatsoever, I will not actually have information on characters, nor will I make an effort to learn information based on AIM conversations. Please PM me any new information. Thank you.

Now for the good stuff: attachments.

[LunarWeaver]

My bowazons have crappy AR for some odd reason, despite getting a passive skill that boosts it. The only thing that hits anybody is Guided Arrow, and that's only because it always hits. I'm cursed or some such.
