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

[Tavrobel]

Crap, didn't I talk about the Fortitude thing? I'm so lazy.

I don't really know why. The best I can figure is the enormous ED of Tiger Strike counts the +20 strength from Chains of Honor as a greater damage multiplier than 300% enhanced damage. Who knows with them. Dragon Flight shows the greatest +% kick damage by far, and without charges it does the most. Yet with three Tiger Strikes on, it doesn't even reach 10k whereas Dragon Tail somehow boosts over 30. The mechanics of kickers are very confusing. ;_;

I'm going to play Median until the Ladder resets. I want to make an Assassin since they're my faviefave, but I feel sort of lost in it. How is it set up? Pretty much choose early on what you want to do and stick to it, or what? Maybe I should make a bunch of high level characters with 999 skill points before converting to the Median patch so I can see everything >;[

It may have been the +Skills boost. 300% of x number might be smaller than the (x+2)*something of CoH. when I mentioned testing, did you actually HIT opponents with it, and check the loss of HP?

Character modifiers do not work with Median (as far as I know). The only thing that works with Median is PlugY, and even then, many options are glitched, disabled, or completely non-functional. The only way to cheat is to function/destination/target to -act5, and go from level 33.

Anyways, Median has a bunch of ways to play. You can max out a single tech tree, or put a few skills into everything. A very popular build is the Lotus Assassin. The guides for Median may be found here, and documentation is here.

There has to be a way to search for specific posts in this damn thread.
Also, it was indeed a gothic plate, because I remember making fun of myself for it. Had 921 def, I gave it Lou because he didn't have one and I had made a Wire Fleece Nigma at that point.

Cimanim, I'll trade you a low Call to Arms for gems!

If it were really that low (the one I remember now), it has 1 BO and 1 BC. Therefore, it was equal to the gems.

But, who had the BP Enigma?

I made the post just above Lunar's, Tav, enjoy. :c)

I noticed.

EDIT: Don't worry, Lunar. Cim is just being an idiot with a bad memory again.

My friend had the breast plate enigma, I provided him the gems as I said I would and told him to get his own socket armour, he chose BP and it's 700 something def. You guys ripped him for that one. The next day he told me how much he hated you two.

Well he should have expected it, especially since it WAS A FRIGGING BREASTPLATE ENIGMA

I did kick things, and it was the same. I turned on Players8 so they would survive and I could see the effects, and both armor seemed to do exactly the same. With 300% ED, you think she'd be doing much more... Blizzard is very strange when it comes to the Assassin. *Points to Dragon Claw's description where it says both claws set off charges when they don't* Fort does help claw damage and un-charged kick damage though, so it's still a good choice.

I meant use Zonfire to get lots of skill points before I switch the patches. Then the character will simply switch to Median but still have tons of skill points sitting there, wouldn't it? I think I did that with some other mod once. I don't know much about Median, so heck if I know if it will work.

Edit: Who made an Enigma out of a breastplate now? Those things are uglier than Chimney's mom =( Who would do such a thing?

/players 8 is too high to be able to see a change in HP, considering that on /players 8, monsters get, what, 1100% more HP?

Zonfire WILL NOT WORK ON MEDIAN. This I am fairly sure about.

Additionally, it is unlikely that Median will work on 1.12, so, uhh, no.

[CimminyCricket]

Remember the guy that came in and played with us in hell for a bit? That was him.

[LunarWeaver]

My Assassin kills things in one hit with players8 on doing that much damage o_O I had to go to act-5 just to get people to live.

I didn't say use Zonfire on Median. You aren't listening to me at all >.<; But nobody ever does /eeyore.

Step 1) Keep Diablo II exactly as it is. Completely the same without any mods on at all.

Step 2) Create a new character.

Step 3) Use Zonfire to make character level 99 and give them lots of skill points. Do not alter character in any other way.

Step 4) Exit out of Diablo II and Zonfire.

Step 5) Switch patches so that Median is installed.

Step 6) Boot up new Median Diablo II and see if character kept the changes during the change.

Normal Diablo characters cannot be "switched" into Median, and visa versa.

Cim and Tav, you humour me immensely, but please take it to PMs rather than this thread.

I am not real sure if I want to make another Bone Necromancer until I have my hands on an Insight, the reason being that Bone Skills ea up so much mana per cast.

I think I'll go with th classic Meteor/Orb or Lightning/Orb Sorceress since then I'll be able to MF very effectively.

[LunarWeaver]

Then it won't work. I said I didn't know if it would! Sheesh it's not like I didn't cop up to the possibility of failure -.-; You people are so HOSTILE.

Don't make me pull rank on you.

BTW lunar, you should expect it. I am the evilest here, after all.

[Nominus Experse]

That wasn't meant to be aggressive or hostile Lunar.

Simply wished to save you the wasted effort/time of attempting such a thing.

What do those numbers mean Tav?

[Tavrobel]

Wild guess.

[Nominus Experse]

The amount of fail attributed to each member

[Tavrobel]

Close, but not quite. My number would be higher than yours, still, but not that much higher.

I believe those are posts for this thread
