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.
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.

Is this statement supposed to be some cruel joke?Originally Posted by Nominus Experse
In a way, yes, Tav.
How many mules do you have again?

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.

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.
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.
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
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.

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.
I ought to be around level 80 by then, so I can rush/power-level you by doing Uber Duiel runs.
...
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?
Many thanks Christmas!
Horniest Member, 2007! Gimme a little unf unf!
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.
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
