Wait, I remember that. Aren't they elementary school kids?
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.
O_o But right now she's a kid.
You're calling a kid hot, Tav.
xD
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.
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
Cardcaptors is the American version. Tsubasa is something completely different, even though it features some CCS characters. I originally watched the American version, also.
It's crap.
But the hotness of Tomoyo and Sakura more than make up for it.
My summoner can now Uber
That made me chuckle. :)Quote:

I'll not be playing for a while. My computer exploded.
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.
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)
Ooo! Thanks, Nom. When I get access to a computer and can log on, what do you want for it?
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 smurf 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.
I've a Harmony you can use. I'll see if Giga has time to get it to you. :C)
I have a Harmony?! I don't recall this.
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)
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.
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.

Jess stickers aren't that great. I would go for the M'avina's Set.
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:
I have at least 3 Mavina Belts xD

It's strange to think that 8k life is what I would consider fragile...
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.
When you're thirty I'll be the one reminding you.
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:.
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?
I might, but I don't get on alot. Ask SRL for a loan. He is currently overseeing my accounts.
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 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....
And thus, I was worried about you using a Pride for an Iron Golem. I felt something like that was going to happen sometime.
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!

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.
I'm sure one of us has the Immortal King boots, I'll try to find them.
Must... not place... points... in STR until.... lvl 75...
Do iiiit....Do iiiit....you know you want to, Nom.
I want to carry VietNom and his Lower Resist in my pocket at all times :(
I have the helm, belt, and maul for IK if you need them, Lunar.
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!
YOUR CONNECTION HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED

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.
I'll thumb through the mules tomorrow.
I definitely know that I have a spare IK Helm with two PTopaz in them, as well as several IK Mauls.
My helms are all open sockets xD
I want the game so badly. I can't find my old install disks though. Woe is me. :(
4 expanion disks
check
5 expansion CD-Keys
check
1 set of Diablo II instal/play discs
check
1 person that needs what I don't have
check
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.
Cim has a HoZ, though I don't know what he plans to do with it.
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.
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.Quote:

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.
I might try to ask too borrow my friends copy. He doesn't play it anymore.
Remember to get the CD-Key, if he knows it. For both games, the CD-Key is only on the CD-case/sash.
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.

Tell Tav to use something like ATMA for Single Player transfers.
I say no one helps him. :cP
I surprisingly don't have the mod installed. *shrug*
I've never played Median.
I refuse to play Jewish games any longer. I will not* be returning to Diablo II any time soon.

That's why there's such a thing called SoJ duping.
I'll be on tomorrow for sure.
Ah, the days of dealing 5 to 65000 damage are once more upon me.
Something tells me you have a very strong Lightning Sorceress.
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.
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.
I see. I just said that because I know Nom has been working on a trapsin for the last week. *shrug*
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.
I'm going to go play! xD
Blargag Tav. Blargag.
Fine.
Nom hates this game. :c(
I hate everything
Fair enough.
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.Quote:

I still want that Median xfer.
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?
So I'm assuing you're back playing, eh, Cim? :p
For a bit. :c)
Because B&C is annoying.
How so? Bow and Crossbow. Poison and Bone. Both have two letters. I'm not sure I see the annoying thing here.
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.
So it's really only annoying to you and no one else here? Perhaps, you should just not worry about it then?
It's still annoying as hell, and I'll complain as much as I damn well want.
I see, well, Crybaby, I hope that you enjoy it. :c)
B&C
PnB
B&C
PnB
Like, OMG LOL
First:
LOL
Second:
I've compiled a list of items I need. If they've been lent out to someone I hate to do it, but if you're not using them I'd really like them back. :c)
If you have them and they're yours, I'll gladly trade for them.
Fort
Draculs gloves or whatever.
Seraphs or some form of +skills and res etc
A pair of wartravs, I care not for MF, just for the Def capable on upped wartravs
That's it really. I had assumed that I'd be needing more. But I guess not. Thanks in advanced.
I have your Fortitude
I'm picking this game up tomorrow. :monster:
Yay, or something. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. Someone tell me what it is.
And Tav, if you want that xfer on Median, you need to PM me a SPECIFIC time as to when you want to xfer.
First: LOL you're an idiot, you had no idea how to build your Smiter, therefore, my acronyms are priority.Quote:

Helm: anything goes; CoA, Shako, any unique with Crushing Blow, possibly Guillaume's of Orphan's Call

Shield: Exile
Amulet: Seraph's Hymn or Rare with attributes lacking (res, life, w/e)

Boots: Gore Riders (for the Crushing Blow)
Gloves: Dracul's (for Life Tap stack with Exile), or any Unique/Set with Crushing Blow or IAS, possibly Magnus' of Orphan's Call, Dracul's is preferred (simply because Exile doesn't have a high chance)

Second Set:
Weapon: CtA

Hot damn that was awesome! My fire sorceress hit level 30 and I equipped Telling of Beads and put a point into Fire Mastery, which took my Fireball damage from an average of 600 to 1,000. :D
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.

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.
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,
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.
xD I'll be making a Javazon soon, so you and I can BLOW through everything in Nightmare and Hell! :cD
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?
I have no idea. I haven't even thought of what equip besides weapon, belt and shield to put on her. xD
Just equip a Titan's and shoot Lightning Fury you dirty conformist.
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 smurf Baal runs up.
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:
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...
I like you because you're a genius. And because you smell nice when you sleep. But mostly the genius thing.
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.
Yay!
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.

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.

For skills I maxed Guided, Strafe, Valk (If you are glass, you need a meat shield), and spread some out over the Passive skills. about 3-5 since gear brings them up to the point where they start to pooter out. Stats, Ive put nearly everything in to Dex, ending up with somewhere near 450 dex (at level 86)
I use BOTD Crusader Bow, Umed Shako, Enigma, Chanceguards, Wartravs, Goldwrap, Ravenfrost, Lifeleech/Ressie Rare ring, Crecent Moon Ammy (for lleech and mleech goodness), a Perfect Gheeds, 17/18 anni, 18/20 torch, 15 all ressie 6 dex GC, mondo Poison scs (about 900 dmg worth), and a couple mf scs as well.
My damage is only about 2000-4000, but if I swapped out my gear for +skills stuff Im certain it would be much more grand. Either way, with all the lleech and mleech I refill both anytime I hit something so I rarely die under non-lag induced circumstances.
I'll be remaking my Zon soon. xD
I was thinking of this following set-up:
Skills:
Magic Arrow = 1
Cold Arrow = 1
Multiple Shot = 13
Ice Arrow = 1
Guided Arrow = 20
Strafe = 20
Inner Sight = 1
Critical Strike (passive) = 20
Dodge (passive) = 1
Slow Missiles = 1
Avoid (passive) = 1
Penetrate (passive) = 1
Decoy = 1
Evade (passive) = 1
Valkyrie = 8
Pierce (passive) = 20
Mulit-Shot seems a waste after you hit the 24 arrow mark, as it never increases damage output - only mana expenditure.
Guided Arrow is a lovely skill, and so I shall max it so as to gain a respectable increase in damage and reduce the mana cost to 1. Shooting around corners was incredibly fun in Single Player.
Strafe will be maxed for obvious reasons.
Pierce and Critical Strike will maxed only if I somehow have this character reach level 99. Basically, I plan to dump 10 points in each at first, and then filling them in as I level past 89.
I thought of increasing the Valkyrie, since one could simply max her completely and simply tag along throughout the game - watching as the Valk beat the game in your stead.
But even at level 8, she ought to reach level 17 from my +skill items, which is the point when she spawns with all Rare equipment. She also has a large amount of life at this point, allowing her to tank Baal or Diablo easily.
Really, she's meant to tank, while I kill. So 8 points seems perfect.
Armour: Fortitude Dusk Shroud (or Wire Fleece since it makes the Zon damn sexy)
Weapon: Faith Grand Matron Bow
Rings: Ravenfrost
A rare or crafted ring with LL and ML
Gloves: The +skills/20%IAS pair I found, or a crafted Hit power gloves in order to get Knockback (which may also grant the very desirable +skill/20%IAS/LL/ML mods as well)
And then the rest of the gear is difficult for me to chose...
Helms:
Giant Skull
Defense: 350-477 (varies)(Base Defense: 100-157)
Required Level: 65
Required Strength: 106
Durability: 40
+250-320 Defense (varies)
10% Chance Of Crushing Blow
Knockback
+25-35 to Strength (varies)
Socketed (1-2) (varies)
Knockback is a lovely mod to have as a Glass Cannon, and the fact that it may spawn with 2 open sockets gives me the option of placing a Shael or Um rune(s), or select Jewels that raise my attack speed, max/min damage, resists, defense, etc...
However, other than the Knockback and 2 open sockets, there is nothing great about this helm. Additionally, it offers no LL or ML, and the sockets are used in order to achieve IAS% or some less useful mod.
Andariel's Visage
Defense: 310-387 (varies)(Base Defense: 101-154)
Required Level: 83
Required Strength: 102
Durability: 20
+100-150% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+2 To All Skills
20% Increased Attack Speed
8-10% Life Stolen Per Hit (varies)
+25-30 To Strength (varies)
+10% To Maximum Poison Resist
Fire Resist -30%
Poison Resist +70%
15% Chance To Cast Level 15 Poison Nova When Struck
Level 3 Venom (20 charges)
This helm is terribly appealing, as it has 20% IAS, +skills, a huge poison resist, and a high LL. However, it has a penalty of -30% Fire resistances, and with little +resistances equipment available to a Bowazon, this may hurt. But I have 2 meat shields twenty metres in front of me at all times, so it ought not be much of an issue - at least on paper it seems that way.
Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest
Defense: 99-131 (varies)(Base Defense: 54-86)
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 55
Durability: 20
10% Life Stolen Per Hit
10% Mana Stolen Per Hit
All Resistances +15
+45 Defense
+30 To Mana
+60 To Life
Someone explain to me why something designated for the Sorceress is so damn close to perfect for a Bowazon? The huge LL and ML, coupled with resistances, is too difficult to ignore. The only thing this helm is missing is an IAS modifier, which can be added via a socketing quest and placing a select Jewel in the newly formed socket. This helm is also missing a +skill modifier, but it seems as though +skill items don't quite make such a big difference in non-mage builds.
This helm is also ass-ugly.
M'avina's True Sight Diadem
Defense: 200-210(varies) (Base Defense: 50-60)
Required Level: 64
Durability: 20
+150 Defense
Replenish Life +10
+25 To Mana
+30% Increased Attack Speed
Other than the very large IAS modifier, I don't see any reason to use this helm but with the belt, which would grant a +1skills mod and 20 strength. But I don't need strength, and I believe I can find IAS elsewhere.
It does look nice on the Amazon though, seeing as it's a circlet.
Ultimately, I think I'll likely use either Tal Rasha's or Andy's, unless I find a orgasmic rare/crafted circlet with IAS/skills/LL & ML, etc...
Belts:
Vosferatu's Coil
Defense: 56-63 (varies)
Required Level: 51
Required Strength: 50
Durability: 14
16 Boxes
Slows Target By 10%
+2 To Mana After Each Kill
5-7% Life Stolen Per Hit (varies)
+15 To Strength
10% Increased Attack Speed
-3 To Light Radius
Honestly, this seems to be the perfect choice. There is nothing I can't complain about in this belt. It has LL, Slow, +Str mods. The only thing missing is ML, which can easily be found in rings/helms/amulets.
Wilhelm's Pride
Defense: 75 (Base Defense: 37-42)
Required Level: 42
Required Strength: 88
Durability: 18
16 boxes
+75% Enhanced Defense
5% Life Stolen Per Hit
5% Mana Stolen Per Hit
Cold Resist +10%
OR
M'avina's Tenet
Defense: 81-86 (varies)(Base Defense: 31-36)
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 20
Durability: 14
16 boxes
+50 Defense
+20% Faster Run/Walk
+5 To Light Radius
5% Mana Stolen Per Hit
All Resistances +25 (4 Items)
Basically, these belts will be used simply if I cannot get my hands on the Vosferatu's Coil. Wilhem's is the only belt I know of that grants duel leech, and M'avina's isn't bad at all with the FR/W and ML.
Boots:
War Traveler
Defense: 120-139 (varies)(Base Defense: 39-47)
Required Level: 42
Required Strength: 95
Durability: 48
Assassin Kick Damage: 37-64
+150-190% Enhanced Defense (varies)
25% Faster Run/Walk
+10 To Vitality
+10 To Strength
Adds 15-25 Damage
40% Slower Stamina Drain
Attacker Takes Damage Of 5-10 (varies)
30-50% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (varies)
For one reason or another, when I equipped these boots in Single Player, they raised my damage output by around 300-400 points. My guess is that somehow the 15-25 added damage modifier is being ran through the unique formula of finding her damage, and so it's given extra enhanced damage privileges, though I may be incorrect. Whatever the reason, there is a noticeable jump in damage output. I wish the FR/W speed was higher, and that there was a bonus given to Dexterity instead of Strength and Vitality, but overall, these boots seem best.
I imagine that there are rare/crafted boots that would most definitely be termed as godly for a Bowazon floating around out there. A nice increase in Dex and resistances would be perfect.
Amulets:
Crescent Moon
Required Level: 50
10% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+45 To Mana
3-6% Life Stolen Per Hit (varies)
11-15% Mana Stolen Per Hit (varies)
Magic Damage Reduced By 10
-2 To Light Radius
This amulet boasts a marvelous ML and a very nice LL as well. However wonderful this amulet may be in that respect, it's the only thing about it that will benefit me. If I am short on ML items, I think I'll simply wear this amulet.
Highlord's Wrath
Required Level: 65
+1 To All Skills
+20% Increased Attack Speed
+ (0.375 Per Character Level) 0-37 % Deadly Strike (Based On Character Level)
Lightning Resist +35%
Adds 1-30 Lightning Damage
Attacker Takes Lightning Damage Of 15
The Lightning resistances and 20% IAS are quite nice, as is the Critical Stike modifier. The only issue with the Critical Strike mod is that my inherent Critical Strike ability is calculated first, and then run through a calculation that makes wearing this amulet less appealing than it first appears. The +skill aspect is negligible.
Atma's Scarab
Required Level: 60
5% Chance To Cast Level 2 Amplify Damage On Striking
20% Bonus To Attack Rating
+40 Poison Damage over 4 seconds
Poison Resist +75%
+3 To Light Radius
Attacker Takes Damage of 5
As a Bowazon, I will already have a huge amount of AR, and so the 20% AR boost won't be of any real use to me. knowing that a Bowazon emplioys Strafe religiously, the chance to cast Amp modifier looks like sex on hot sauce. The poison resistances is also nice, though poison doesn't seem to be a very damaging element.
The Cat's Eye
Required Level: 50
+30% Faster Run/Walk
+20% Increased Attack Speed
+100 Defense Vs. Missile
+100 Defense
+25 To Dexterity
There is nothing I can complain about in this amulet. IAS and FR/W, with an ample boost in dexterity. If I find that the chance to cast Amp is deceptively low, or that I have enough ML and LL elsewhere, I will likely use this amulet.
===============================================================
So, any suggestions as to what looks best? What looks wonderful on paper, but is wonderfully effective in-game? Or visa versa?
Damn Nom, you must have a lot of time on your hands to do all of this research on new builds all the time. :p
IT KEEPS ME AWAKE MULLEY!
I CANNOT SLEEP WITHOUT ANALYZING THIS GAME TO ITS CORE!
...someone save me...
I can..."save" you. But it requires that I take your accounts from you and transfer everything to accounts you cannot access. :cP
Most Bowazons I know of maximize Valkyrie as much as possible, for Strafe automatically aims, and hits targets off-screen. The only problem with a Bowazon is Physical immunes, which can be dealt with, in various fashions.
The thing about Guided Arrow is that it doesn't save on arrow economy, and while fun in single player to shoot past corners, a Valkyrie and a Mercenary should be able to absorb the one or two hits that are required before you shoot the living daylights out of that enemy. If a Valkyrie is maxed out, then it should be able to take the enemy by itself.
Here's what I once used:
20 Strafe
20 Valkyrie
20 Penetrate (or which ever one increases AR)
20 Decoy (Valkyrie life synergy)
1 in requisites
1-5 in passives (Critical Strike, etc)
This build puts less of a strain on +skills, and emphasizes the meat tank more. Strafe is more than enough.
Helm: I would agree with Bone Visage (if resistance is what you need, stick one of the low runes, and rotate it as necessary) or Andy's. The lack of fire resistance can easily be overturned by a simple Ral rune. It brings the resistance up by 30, nulling it out. I'm not sure if Dream's Holy Shock would help with the Physical Immunes, nor provide what you're looking for, but is also an option. M'avina's Helm is also an option. If you REALLY, and I mean REALLY need the resistance, use Kira's Unique Circlet (which I also have).
Armor: Chains of Honor. In so many ways is this the perfect armor for a Bowazon. Great resistance (+65 static), increased damage to both Undead and Demons, Lifesteal, reduces damage by 8%. This makes up for the increased damage and defense of Fortitude.
Bow: Grand Matron Faith. Right on the dot. Alternatively, you could also try wearing CtA and Spirit on the alternative set. However, you could try Titan's on the other set for an alternative attack, when combined with TGod's.
Amulet: Cat's Eye, Mara's. The usual, or a Rare with +skills, res, whatever you need. You could also use Highlord's Wrath, which has IAS and a +skills.
Rings: Ravenfrost and Rare. You could also double up on the Ravens for the +Dex. BK's also provide Lifesteal.
Boots: Uhh, Gores (for the CB)? You don't really have too many options here, unless you are lacking in some certain department. If Res, Nat's (Cold/Lite), Aldur's (Fire), or IK (it's got some okay mods, but its true beauty is when mixed with IK Gloves and Belt). I'm not very comfortable with the War Traveler's damage mods (remember that you can't trust the character screen).
Belt: I have a Nosferatu's Coil. I might be online later today, PM for details. IK would also suffice for the Fire/Lite res. M'avina's Tenet also works fairly well. Alternatively, you could also throw on Thundergod's Vigor, which has a 5% chance to heal (casts FoH on strike). The Lightning skills are useless, unless you want a Lightning skill as a backup. In which case, I also have a Titan's for you.
Gloves: Magnus' Skin. +IAS is all that you need, and it comes with Cold res. Alternatively, you can go with IK Gloves/Boots for the synergized IAS, or M'avina's Gloves/Belt, for whatever synergy you happen to get. Lava Gout Uniques also bear 20% IAS and fire res. Soul Drainer Uniques have both Life and Manasteal, but no other spectacular mods.
Charms: I have 2 Passives GCs. I would be more than happy to lend them to you. If you are on later tonight, PM me for details.
Beforewarned that in order to get any +resistance out of M'avina's you need 4 parts. These mods appear only on M'avina's Belt and Helm, for a total of +50 resistance to all. Depending on your items, you should be able to hit maxed, or close to it, as that CoH is a huge boost.
Hmm, I didn't look too closely at the idea of wearing Chains of Honour, but due to the LL, Res, and IAS, and huge increased damage to Undead and Demons, it may be better.
The Bowazon seemed spectacular in The Chaos Santuary, which is littered with Demon-type enemies. I think I will experiment in Single Player a bit more.
I'm still very conflicted on what helm to use. None of them seem to really shine and scream "CHOSE ME".
Wearing a Giantskull with appropriate Jewels/Runes would allow me to have Knockback without crafting gloves. Andy's grants IAS and a large LL and PRes. And Tal Rasha's grants a very large duel leech.
I think they all require around the same amount of strength, so I could switch them out on command wihtout any fuss.
As for boots, I think survival is better than damage output at this point. So whatever res I am lacking in, I will opt to wear a pair that will cover the weak res.
The gloves I have are already better than Magnus'. They grant 20% IAS, +2Passive, Enhanced Defense, and ML. The only thing they're missing is res. I've never had an issue with achieving a respectable Cold Resistance, but I suppose we'll see.
Yeah, I need to redo my zon! xD
CoH is your best bet, armorwise. Since in Hell mode, you only need approximately 150 resistance for full, you have instantly reduced your requirements to 85, all. Chaos Sanctuary is littered with Demons and Undead; there are no Animal type enemies until right before you get there, and even then, they are easily dispatched. Iron Maiden is no problem, since it only works at melee range.
Depending on which helm you want to use, any of them could be possible. Remember that IAS maxes out at around 95%. With a high Dex rating, it's more like 75%. PvM only really requires around 5000 Defense, total, and 7000 AR.
If you want res, so that you don't have to worry about it on other equipment, go with Kira's (I believe that mine is 57% all), and can be socketed (with Larzuk). Andy's +100% Poison is also a boon to choose. Skull Visage seems to have the best ideal for customization: two 15% IAS jewels are 30% IAS, but runes could also be used to increase resistance. Two Um runes is an additional 19%, bringing your total to 38% all in Visage. Tal's Helm is also another option with 15% all res, static boost to Life, Mana, and Life/Manasteal. It is also by far the cheapest.
However, if you go with my suggested build, your only real problem would be Mana. Therefore, Manasteal would be of a higher priority, putting preference toward Tal's. IAS has a cap on an Amazon, as well.
There are very few outstanding boots that should be used in all situations. Same for Gloves, but since you have some with good stats, treat your boots like Rings. I'll assume you know which Rings, Amulet, and Belt to use.
Do you even have a Grand Matron Bow? Because I sure as hell don't. Fortunately for you, Faith covers many other weak points. I have a 4Os Blade Bow as of the moment, but not a GM bow.
Have you given any thought to what Mercenary you will use? I'm not sure that Might works on a Bowazon, but it sure as hell boosts your Valkyrie. You shouldn't need Blessed Aim. However, I might think that Concentration (Pride) would work wonders. Thorns would be pretty useless.
However, you could simply not worry about Lifesteal nor Manasteal if you slipped on a Prayer with Insight. That might free up room for resistance (Kira's). A regular Mercenary build would suffice (any helm, Fortitude, Insight if mana boost, Pride for Concentration)
I tried a Pride NM Offensive Mercenary in Single Player, and it seemed to be the best option as it raises your damage to a very respectable amount.
I liked the Giant Skull most when I tested the equipment. The ability to customize without losing Knockback is ever so lovely. There are jewels that grant 40% Enhanced damage as well, so that could be an option (albeit an expensive one).
I actually like this build quite a bit. Unlike many other builds, you can easily switch items in and out without smurfing your main skill over.
As my Necromancer traverses the Nightmare difficulty, he faces many woes of curses. I need me some Lower Resist, so why must they override it with everything but? When did Decrepify get so popular? How is Iron Maiden helping the Amazon and me? Who in their right mind uses Weaken? I do not have the answers to these questions. No, I can only muse the matter and wonder...and wonder....
I also need to remake my Bowie hardcore, 'coz I screwed up big with mine. Don't you just hate when that happens.
Edit: And Hammerdins are fail and everybody that has one is fail. *Looks at Koast and Chimney*
Who is Koast?Quote:

BadKarm
Also, 3-4 cds and I can't find one.
I don't get it.
Anyways, Cim, when you get home, I'll be online with that Grief in eoff/trout.
I only post at home, school or library xD
When we all have our Zons reworked, we should rape Baal runs by lagging them all out.
No Torches, please. They tend to instantly drop people, dude to the graphics demnd.
Um, that's the point of raping Baal runs. Pissing people off via dropping the game.
Glitching Baal is fun as well. Everyone stands around like idiots.
I'll be remaking my zon this weekend. xD
But first, do my points go into vit as I have done? Or do they go into dex? Or can I split them, dex-vit-dex-vit?
No points go into Vitality until Str and Dex requirements for equipment have been met. A few points here and there is okay, so long as you can equip your median equipment before your end-game build. By level 50, your points should look like this:
Str: < 100 unless equipment demands require it, or +Str equipment is had
Dex: < 100 if not base; if higher, then higher
Vita: ~ 100-120
Eng: none
At level 80:
Str: enough to equip, within 10 points of highest equipment
Dex: enough to equip, within 5 points of highest equipment
Vit: everything else
Eng: base
I'm going full glass cannon myself. My plan is to have more than 500 points in Dex by the time I hit 90.
I graduated :D
About smurfing time, son. Now you get to play with the big kids, in the real world.
It only took me two extra days! xD
Anyway, I'll be on in 45 minutes to school you bitches. :cP
You are all idiots.
Tav now feels better about himself
I love you too Tav.Quote:

I'm forced to resort to DotA and n00bish public games! Uggh! Plus, I haven't quite gotten to Act 5, nor have I found anything worth using. I did find a Sacred Polearm, but it's useless without big Str and Dex boosters! WAAH
OMFG Frost Maidens are so much damn fun.
I'm now torn between which one I wish to complete first; my classic Glass Cannon, or the cold, nova-popping Frost Maiden?
If I chose to first complete my Frost Maiden, I will soon be seeking out a Razortail Sharkskin
I believe I have razortail... I am currently looking for an Arachnid Mesh (Mine's Ethereal, so it's not going to last long :(.)
I am now going to try and collect every single smurfing piece of equipment in this game.
Check back on me within a decade.
Including Magic mods and Rare mods?
Oh dear lord no... I would be dead before that was achieved.
So perhaps I ought to have said that I wish to collect every Unique possible, along with every Runeword
Yeah, I'm just going to ignore that and not really listen, because I don't remember stuff from the thread.
I'll send you :skull::skull::skull::skull: via PM, Tav.
Also, an interesting thing I discovered today:
I learned how to make it so that your character will indefinitely run while in the Rogue Camp. I don't know if this is news to anyone, but to me it was. For those of whom are interested, here are some shots in order to achieve such a thing:
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/227...shot005ho6.jpg
When you begin as a new character, Akara bears an exclamation mark, meaning she wishes to bother you. Characters with an exclamation mark will move towards you if within a certain distance.
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4...shot007ah5.jpg
Lure Akara to around this location. Once here, quickly click Akara and then click somewhere else. DO NOT SPEAK TO AKARA. When you click Akara, she will sop moving, effectively anchoring her in place.
Once she is anchored, move to around this location:
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8...shot008vg6.jpg
And then click Akara. You're character will now indefinitely run as it vainly attempts to engage Akara.
This is nice for when perming a mule, or giving yourself a seizure if you sit and watch the shaking screen.
You could also use a mule-bot, but meh... basically, for those that don't wish to use any bots whatsoever, this method seems to work mighty well.
I prefer to afk in a game and do other stuff.
I'm so glad none of us have any real lives.
Well, most of us anyway. Life is finally pulling me from DII... granted not that much, but it is nonetheless.
ZOMG SOmEONE GET ON AND GRAB MY GEMS xD
Game's dead. Nom, I'll also need an xfer on Median soon. I'm PM you a preferred time.
I got Diablo 2:LOD today. I'll probably make a fire sorc. as my first.
