guys, just post here what time you're playing & the name of the game. i'll just check on the forum from time to time today and see if can join you.

thanks.

K.

Started a sorc today. She's gonna have (sigh) frozen orb (?) and hydra, so I don't think she will be overkill (a decent hurricane druid in normal is overkill though. As soon as anyone gets near you, it dies...). But she won't be screwed when she runs into a fire or cold immune either (this waqs the regular pain in the a$$ when you played a sorc). She's currentlly lvl 15, and was disconected from a superb game where I discussed skellynecrotactics with someone who called himself elite. And I was allso disconected JUST when we'd killed radarment, so I did not get quest nor book of skill. There's some problem with my connection... As soon as I exit a game D2 hangs up, and I get a message saying I can't play on this CD-key since Erik Westholm (yes' that's my name) is currentlly playing on another computer. Very annoying.

And I've allso started my bowazon. She's lvl 1.

Back tomorrow with time and game. I think we will play US east (unless Womble feels like changeing to Europe. He could just as well do that as I change to US east.).

Übereil

i think you have to wait for some time after you get disconnected. there's a lag between the server and the computer. then you can re-log.

well then, i may have to start a new char if we're playing on us east since i play on asia server mostly. besides, my chars have been probably deleted by now since it's been quite sometime i last played on b.net.

ube, do you know what char womble is playing? i'm thinking of playing a pally, either holy freeze (so we i can slow down monsters while you guys dispose them at your leisure) or fanaticism (so we'll be attacking faster). but since you're playing a sorc, i don't think a pally can be of big help there. maybe a necro can do a better job. i'll focus on summoning so we'll all feel very, very safe behind the skellies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

btw, what time is it now in your place ube? it's almost 10am here, saturday.

Ok, from now on use this thread - post yours msn for easy comunication, for who are interested in play too, and enter the game with yours original forum names:

krysnamurt@hotmail.com

If possible i would like to start this sunday.

Guess what will be my char? TrowBarb of course.


I'll go to shopping tomorrow and buy another version for me. So we'll can play together, all of us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

What will be the realm?

ok but i don't use msn, not even yahoo msngr. at any rate, just post your preferred schedule here on this thread and see how we all can fit to the schedule.

now we're growing as a party. hope we can translate this into reality.

just don't forget to bring beer so we can have a real party.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I was planning to start my Bowazon with you guys. I allso have plans on starting a skellynecro somtime in the future (they're soft).

It will be pretty straightforward:
Raise skelleton 20
skelleton mastery 20
raise skelleton mage 20
(clay) golem 20 (for slow, might take something else here...)
Desreptify 20 (other curse possible)
and one skillpoint in all the skillsa I need (will have one in summon resist and revive, with +points I will be able to summon a decent ammount of revives (will focus on my skellies anywhay) and summonresistance will be decent too).

We can allso discuss my bowazon. Womble pointed out that a bowazon with guided arrow/strafe needs a good bow (hopefully I'll find one), but I THINK (I've played one, but I don't remember how far I got) I will be allright anywhay... Don't know though (played a cold ama too, can't remember how far I got with THAT one, don't think it was too far. It was the one who were supposed to have Mavinas, couln't find the armor (or was it the bow?) though).

Edit: I forgot my adress. But hey, you can just check my profile, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Here we go:

ne_det_kanner_jag_inte_till@hotmail.com

And don't try and send me any e-mails on that adress, I only use it for msn.

So, I'm sitting here in my small room, feeling lonelly. Anyone here who would like to play?

Übereil

Edit: *dead...*

My advice would be to create a session : invite people, ask when they have time to meet, and then go ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@shyon & ube: i played a little last night while checking your msgs here at the forum. i didn't see any new posts so i just continued on playing. got my overlord necro to lvl 9, took the black marsh wp and stopped playing because my gf called.

anyway, if you have free time today, pls post at what time you're available. i can start a new game and post the name of the game here so you can join. or it can be the other way around: you can start the game and post it here and i'll join. thing is, i don't know what characters you're playing and at what level. maybe better if we can start new chars altogether. anything goes.

i can start playing at about 4 hrs from now. it's 8:30 a.m. here sunday so i have to hear mass first this morning. whole afternoon i'll play some more. hope you guys can join.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I want to know something:

We'll play at ladder mod?
Cause there have more special itens.

yes ladder. there are runewords specific for ladder chars only.

shyon, when are you free to play?

Tomorrow at afternoon. Here now is 01:6 AM

feeling sleepy already, shyon? why don't we play right now, even for just a while? so we can test our chars.

i can start a game if you want.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Time set to 16.00 here. That's 13.00 for Shyon. If it suits everybody else. That's 8 hours and 20 minutes from now.

As said I'm going to play a Bowazon, but I feel like I'm starting to chick out... Feel like playing a necro instead (overlord style). Allready mentioned the build. Might modify it...

So, one necro with support trops.

Übereil

that's fine ube. as shyon's gonna play a throw barb and you a necro, i'll play a pally to help out the party. going to make him a fanatic zealot, unless you want me to get another aura (holy freeze, conviction, among others). fana aura works best for your skellies, i think; they will chop everyone in their path. however, fanat is a lvl 30 aura, so we'll have to make do with concentration until then. still, i think it will be enough. hope we can have more play sessions so we can get to nightmare and hire the better mercs.

by way of a reminder, max out raise skeleton and skelly mastery first before golem. skellies are so much better now in 1.10 and more meatshields for us. my suggestion is to focus on summoning tree first & amplify damage.

i've already indicated to shyon that we communicate/post (via pm/msn) an hour or two before actual playing so we have ample lead time. if my estimation's correct, we should be playing around 4 to 5 hours from now, depending on how soon shyon wakes up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

btw also, we agreed to play ladder chars (for ladder-only runewords) and that we'll start as brand-new chars. i think it's more rewarding that way.

see ya later & hope you can join. others too.

Yes, I allways play ladder. It's crossed in when you create the char you know...

Decreptify, clay golem, holy freeze= monsters not being very fast... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

But I allso think Fanaticism will really do the trick for my skellies. But why amplify and not Decreptify? And the other way around...

I was thinking this: Get curse and golem up to something decent (not much, but decent. I whant them to be able to do SOMETHING), and then max skellys out (should I go for raise or mastery first? I've allways been taught quality before number, but number is the main thins with skelletons, isn't it?)

Übereil (was allso about to check some items, but battle.net could not be found (this is seriouslly starting to piss me off. Hope it won't affect our gameing))

Edit: Can't connect to Battle.net for the moment, hope this will solve by itself before we're supposed to start playing.

1 pt into decrep will be enough. +skills equipment will take care of the rest. decrep is good only for single bosses (meph, andy, diablo, baal, dury, lister, etc.) amp & attract is so much better against crowds of monsters. amp damage will take away 100% of the monsters' physical resist; thus, your skellies will do double damage, and if you have noticed in your playing, the skellies will almost always hit. they have no attack rating problems. combine that with amp damage and we will not have any problem with any monsters at all, save for the physical immune ones (it's easy to get elemental dmg weapons anyway) and the act bosses. besides, if you use decrep often, you'll run out of mana quickly. you won't run out fast w/ amp.

go for raise skeleton first. 1.10 has changed a lot. you won't be getting 1 skelly per point anymore, and we have to have as many skellies running around as fast as we can. don't worry about skeleton mastery. we can max it later. the skellies will be sturdy enough, and we can hire the prayer merc in act ii normal to help keep them alive. if we can get at least 5 skellies by the time we finish act 1, we'll mow everything in our path, except for the act bosses of course. they require a bit of a strategy. trust me, i've played 2 overlord necros in 1.10. it's vital to pump skill pts into raise skeleton initially.

for example, my lvl 10 necro (new char i started yesterday) has 9 pts in raise skelly (found a wand in act 1 that has +2 to raise skelly & skel mastery), 3 in mastery, 1 in clay golem, and 1 in amp dmg. i've had no problems w/ him. the skellies (think i have 4), clay golem & the rouge merc kill so fast before i even get to cast amp. and the skellies hardly die at all.

also, put only 1 pt into raise skeletal mage. they won't do our army any good, since we'll focus on dealing massive physical damage. they drop like flies and i hate babysitting them. moreover, they block passageways so often that it gets to be very annoying. 1 pt. will be enough; let +skills gear do the rest. imho, it's more important to divert your pts into golem of your choice (clay is good) & golem mastery.

good luck!

I've only played 1.10... And 1.00 and 1.07 singleplayer... But that's it. I've played an overlord online btw...

You'll have 5 skellies on lvl 9 (8 if you put every skillpoint you have ito it). 2 points into skelletonmastery will HEAVILLY increase them.

Late, 1 point in revive can give you some edge if you need it. You hardly ever do though...

Never noticed mages being in the way... But you're the boss... How does summon resist work btw? I meen 75 res in norm isn't 75 in hell... And how usefull is it? Anywhay, one point in it can't hurt...

And if I only put one point into mages, I have 19 points to invest in something else... (a direct dmg skill, prehaps? Lvl 20 bonespear sin't very impressing though... At least not by itself... Maybe teeth <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />).

The dream would be to have 42 skelletons in the end. I've met a guy who had this. I don't know what kind of überkokko-equipment he had (I DO know he had his inventory FILLED with summonskill-charms though, and he had full trang oul's). You can allways dream...

Übereil (charactebuild. The best part about D2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

Edit: Poison nova migh be an idea agaist those physicalimmune bastards. One point in lower resist and we can kill EVERYTHING... Sooner or later...

2:nd edit: Maybe we can convice Womble that a druid with heart of the wolverine is the way to go... Better dmg, better attack (not needed, but still nice). And then have dire wolves... With maxed out grizly bear they'll have quite solid dmg... And then he puts points into BOTH hurricane AND armageddon, and then he can walk around and look ugly or something... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

yeah you're right. it's 5 skellies. i checked my necro on b.net.

on mages, it's ok if you want to pump it if you have a lot of spare pts. i won't hinder your playing style; just stated my own experience and i'm not imposing in any way my preference. play it the way you want it. after all, this is a game and we all want to have fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

just max raise skeleton & skel mastery first.

revives can be a lot of help against act bosses. skellies die so fast, especially against diablo & baal, that we need revives.

summon resist is very handy. put as much pts into it as you can until diminishing returns set in.

i'm not sure about other offensive spells/curses. you might be strapped for pts as synergies are needed to boost their damage. amp, decrep, & attract will be your staple curses.

If I recieve a (fairlly reasonable) bonus of 10 bonuspoints, puting one point into these three curses will make them quite decent. And who knows what to do after lvl 71... I'm pretty much out of skills then... Don't really need anymore, so I can just as well start investing into mgaes then...

PS We should play US east, right? In that case, I need a new account... DS

yes, useast. i've already made a new account there. account name is asian_pally, just in case you have to whisper. though me myself didn't use that whisper feature often before. in fact, i've already forgotten the command for it.

hope shyon wakes up a bit early today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

thanks for that. sent you a pm already. just waiting for shyon now. i hope it still won't be too late for you.

Shyon seems to be three hours before me in time. Maybe Womble (six hours before me in time) can join us too.

Übereil

@shyon: here's a list of our accounts for your (& the others who'd like to join) reference:

us east (ladder):

(1) crusader - account name: asian_pally
char name : brother_tobin (pally)

(2) Ubereil - account name: Ubereil
char name : Andrew_Eldrich (necro)

shyon, i've already started a game so me & ube can play. we can do quests later for your char.

game name: larian (as you might have noticed, i'm very creative when it comes to names <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

password: crusader

just pm me or post in this thread if you have problems joining the game.

see ya!

i,m already here to join you, just making some repairs in my installation in few minutes i'll be there.

shoots, you just missed us. we're done w/ the session now. it was really a lot of fun. we played for 3 straight hours & finished act 1 in 1 sitting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />my pally is lvl 15 now, as well as ube's necro. fine little army we have now: 6 skellies, golem, mage & two mercs. i wanted to play some more but i still have work tomorrow. we have to set a new play session again if ube enjoyed the one we had earlier.

i committed to help you out w/ your brand new char, so next time you're free, post it here or pm us so we can help you level up your char. you have to start the game though. i can play again tomorrow. think you're available?

Shyon, where do you play? What region? I was wondering, since I need a boost from act 3 norm/ladder in europe...

Übereil

Man i was buying all the game again, now i''ve finished the installation and now i''m really ready to start.
I had to buy the d2 original cause my stupid friend used cheat with my old key.

i''m playing now useast
game: vmnessa
pass: jesjes

I stoped. Sorry i couldn't join you at time guys, maybe at the next game. I''ll be available only next saturday and sunday.

OK, maybe then. Maybe you could do some exping... WE're in act 2, going to do the cube, and we're level 15.

Übereil

PS and where has Womble been? DS

it's ok shyon. we were waiting for you to join the game. i'm hoping we can play next saturday & sunday, depending on your & ube's availability. as for me, i'm free on both days. as what we've done, just pm us or post in advance your schedule so we can get the game up & running. i think we can go a long way in normal, if not finish it altogether, in 2 playing sessions. that'd be so we can get the better mercs in act 2 nightmare.

been really a lot of fun and we were hoping you and others who are interested can join. it'd be great to see a big party. eventually, we'll try & fill out the 8-person party hopefully. that would be awesome.

too bad about your cd-key. next time, don't share it with someone, even if it's your friend.

until then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

it's been very easy so far. andariel & blood raven didn't last very long to amp + might. the minions are doing most of the dirty work. though ube & i almost died when we crashed into a pack of archers in radament sewers. i almost died too because of that poison by radament. good i had an antidote ready in my backpack. nonetheless, the troops are performing up to par. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah with sure crusader i learned my lesson.
i'm at lvl 10 in 40 minutes game, i believe with one session of 1:30 hour max i reach your lvl.

great job shyon. i think you an easily reach lvl 15 and we can party up soon enough in act ii to get the cube.

btw, what merc are you using? i've already hired the defiance merc and ube will hire the prayer merc. you can hire the blessed aim (act ii offensive) or, if you have the rogue merc from act 1, you can keep her. it all depends on you.

i'll contract the blessed aim, so the minions can hit more easy the beasts.
Auras are better than arrows. I'm already a missile trower.
do you know if the rune words for missile weapons work on trowing axes or javellins or just for bows?

the call is out for adventurers of all sorts to help us defeat the three prime evils and send them back into the abyss from where they came. thus far, our party is made up of ube (summoner necro), crusader (fana pally), and shyon (throw barb).

we need more chars from those who can join us in our weekend games. we don't mind some company from chars such as:

(1) big, hairy, smelly barb - whirlwind, frenzy, berserker, concentrate, any build. doesn't matter as long as you have massive hit points and can tank for the weaker chars.

(2) scantily-clad zon - who will rain arrows/javelins from afar. your butt may distract the other males of the party, but who cares? as long as you can help kill. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

(3) assy - martial arts, trapper. again, doesn't matter. another one of those butt-naked females and with dual fly swatters (to whack the flies swarming on the barb maybe? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />).

(4) sorc - at last, a female who's decently dressed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> our party needs someone who can call in the elements of massive destruction.

(5) druid - werewolf, werebear, wind druid. any will do, as long as your dire wolves don't eat the corpses that the party's necro badly needs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

(6) hammerdin - the cheesiest char in 1.10. after all, we need someone who can provide the party w/ some cheese. and a little wine, maybe?

(7) another necro who can specialize in poison/bone spells - high-level bone spear/spirit with max synergies can do a lot of damage.

but really, any char that you enjoy playing will do. heck, even someone with a broken sword and a cracked sash will do. i'm not sure how we'll survive hell with someone like that in a party, but still, it's worth a try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

after all, the fun is in playing with others, and not in powergaming.

see you all!

If anyone want to try, i read about a very good strategie of druid using rabies, i tesed it ni single player with players 8 - the druid is an assassin, the poison is strong a lot, kill many in one second or two, after the trowbarb, this is my next char.

come on people join us

last time i checked, throwing weapons can't be socketed unfortunately. so no runewords. they have good throwing uniques, by the way. and the rare thrown weapons i found w/ my throw barb before were very good. rares are much improved in 1.10.

i'm ok with your blessed aim merc. hehe, 4 auras all in all (blessed aim, prayer, defiance, plus might from my pally). i doubt if ube's skellie minions will ever die. can't wait to play with you guys this weekend.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

shyon, if you have any problems w/ andariel, pls inform me. i can help you out later.

I can't wait too, when i played single player the only problem what i have was Duriel with his cold aura in normal mode only, the others was only dead meat in my hands.

Yeah, Duriel on norm is a pure pain in the... well, she's a pure pain... I hate her...

Yeah, a sorc would be nice... Or how about MY (very serious) druidguide?

Currentlly trying to find the coolest build I've ever seen... It's hard though... Anywhay, it's called the firepaladin from hell, and ti's supposed to have conviction (compensate for fire mastery), Fist of the Heavens (for fireimmune), holy shield (of chorse...). And for fire skills, he needs Trang Oul's (all but the shiled). REALLY cool build.

Maybe an IK-barb? At least he'd look nice... Another pally with anothr aura (like a hammerdin with conc...). A howler? No, whait, we have Shyons trowing barb... Well, if someone decides to join us, pick whatever build you'd like (I've got first take on Trang Oul's though), as long as it don't require corpses...

PS

Hey guys, I missed you over the weekend. My accounts are *gimpy1 and *gimpy2 for the purposes of whispering. Sounds like you could use a trapsin. (I don't have the quipment for a barb)

My hammerdin is lvl 84 and just made patriarch so I've no desire to make another. I love cheese though. Hell is hard man... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

So try and grab me whenever you are online. I'm on quite a bit too. I'll add you all to my friends list.

I have here the link for the rabies/fireclaw druid build

womble! where you'd been? did you spend the entire weekend sleeping? or drunk off your [nocando]? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

we sure could use a trapsin. i presume it's new char you're going to build. we're all starting off from scratch. much better that way, i think.

see you this weekend. check this thread and/or pm for schedule of game.

as you may have already read, me & ube are lvl 15 now in act ii. just finished radament quest and are about to get the cube. you can catch up like what shyon is doing, or we can help you thru act i, i.e., get all the wp's and do the necessary quests. keep us updated.

I'm not getting all waypoints to catch you in time, if you guys can take me there to catch it later i would like it.
Thanks Uber for the guide.

I'll continue our search for the Pally.

ok shyon. in how many hours from now can you play? i can take you to all the wp's in act 1 (& help you kill andariel if you haven't yet) & the sewers lvl 2 (on the way to radament) in act 2.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll try to play a bit after tomorrow, i'll let you know some hours before, but i believe in this day i'll reach you guys.

A bit of both... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />



Just shopping around for the claws I want for her now. Have a trap ammy I think. She should be pretty funky.



I'll take her to lvl 15, shouldn't take long with good old tristy runs.

I'm actually on most evenings after 6pm EST, whisper me anytime...

Anyone think of any good trapper names? Best I could think of was frazzle but I'm sure that's taken.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Backstabbin' [nocando]? I allways tried to name my assassins Charlotte the Harlot...

Tristy runes? QUE???

Übereil

Get together 8 people in a game (preferably with one higher level char) and dive through the portal to tristram. Kill everything in sight (or let the lvl 20 ish char do it) and level like crazy. Do it about 10 times and you'll go from level 1-12 in about 30 mins. Makes the rest of act one a little easier. After level 12 you can slowly go to level 14 and kill Andy. Should get to level 14 in the catacombs.

Just a bit less tedious if you've completed the game zillions of times... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

@womble: stay sober next weekend, then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Today i'll play at 13:00 or 14:00 pm here, do your calculations to see if you'll get me in time.

The name will be:
larian
Pass: crusader

ok shyon. in how many hours from now will that be?

pls pm or post in this thread when you're about to play or have started the game already.

see you.

Seems like I have to do my homework early... If I don't remember it wrong, that will be 16.00-17.00 sometime here, and that's soon...

Übereil

I''m starting now 14:00 here, if there is no message here of finish go there to join.

Well no one showed up, i`ll leave now and back in 30min, i have to install a printer here. If someone go there to play post here first name pass, i'll back soon.

Lvl 13 and killed Andariel.


I''m back there now, same game and pass.

I''m finished for today lvl 16.
Ube continue there.

Now i don't know if has anyone there.

shyon, i showed up yesterday, but couldn't get in the game. i think you forgot to turn off the level restrictions. i was denied access because of that. i tried to whisper you but i don't think my msg got thru. i'm not really familiar with that feature yet.

anyway, next time please don't forget to remove the level restrictions. hope we get to play later. as always, pls post a bit in advance before you play.

cheers!

turn off level restrictions? But ubereil entered the game without problems and he was level 16 if i'm not wrong. What is your lvl? So lets make a point here to create games:
No lvl restrictions from now on.

Btw this is our minor problem now - we "have" to kill the prime evil. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I see you next time - can be saturday? 13:00 pm for me 16:00 for Ube and for you i believe will be something about 3:00 am?
here now is 06:23 AM. Going to bed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

if i not come in time you two start the game and later i reach you. probabily i'll have a delay of 1 hour like the other days. So i believe if we start one hour later will be more easy even for you to wake or no?
14:00 would be better add one hour for you.
Post here so i can know what you think or pm, i have a litle problem, i have only high speed connection at my mom's office, so i still have some restrictions with hours cause i have some other things to do.

You guys are playing at 3am our time? No wonder I don't see you!

Well, my trapper is lvl 16 now with a few nice things waiting for her when she levels up. (Bartucs, nats set <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

The prime evil? You onto Diablo now?

No, I'm doing an overlord! A necro! With skelletons! (And if you happened to have full Trang Oul's set... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

What bow is it (Winforce? BotD?)? If it's good enought for a strafe/guided arrow archer, I might change... But on the other hand... Overlords ARE sweet...

Übereil

Nah, nothing like that. Just a riphook I picked up in a giveaway game. Stick with your overlord. I can give you a few things for that. I have a spare umes, rare +2 nec circlet, summoning ammy. Get a few perfect gems and you can pick up some decent stuff.

What level is everyone?

17 I think... And I've got cube!

@ womble: it's 3 am in my local time. i think it's sometime in the afternoon for you, depending on which coast you live.

hey guys great fun last night. duriel didn't stand a chance.

hope we can play again today. i think we can easily finish acts 3 & 4. diablo is going to be a major pain in the ***, though. at the rate we're going, i think we can hit act v and do baal runs for rapid levelling.

& womble, we need your trapper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

guys, have a party to attend tonight. my uncle's birthday. if you're playing, i'll just join you as soon as i get home, if it's still not too late yet.

as usual, pls post here before you start a game.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was in the larian/crusader game for a short while. Nobody seemed to be around. Played for a bit solo, collected the staff. I hate the maggot lair.

I'll try to get on later or sunday. I'll have a bit of spare time then. Blame my wife.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Shyon = man. No doubt about this. I'm going there right now, same name same pass.

About the name maybe is because how the words sound in english.

anyone up for a game later? i'll be on in about 30 min or so. i'll make a game larian password crusader. or if you can play ahead of me, just make the game and i'll join. post here please before you log on to b.net.

see you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Crusader we found a nice belt for you - btw the party was good?
When is the next game?

We found a shield as well.

Origin of the name "Radamant"

Sorry guys, i couldn't join you yesterday btw the next final weekend i'm free to play - i'm thinking about change my barb - a new strategie what i'm creating. I believe it'll be a monster.

@Alrik - nice text about the Radamant name.

One more thing, today i was playing solo a litle and decided to kill Baal - for my surprise he dropped the Shadow Killer(Battle Cestus) Elite for Assassins.

And in the blizzard website said that this weapon is only dropped in ladder games. Now this isn't completely true. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />

Good for me now i have the final weapon for assassin.

Yo Ube, i have some links here what maybe is of your interest:

This one is in japanese if you can translate it or someone around here

Here you can try to find the trang sorc paladin

Fire Paladin strategie

This post of a guy make the mention about the moonfall(weapon) used in the japanese guide is a bug to increase the fire damage:


Hey i remember a guide on this forum for a trang pally, what ever happened to it?
Anyway i made a trang pally and he deals 2500 or so per fireball not counting convictions increase- i decided to only use trangs helm and belt because with meteor and firewall id have to jump to conviction. The secret to so much damage was in that guide, by using the synergy bug you can use a moonfall mace for its lvl 11 meteor syn. which greatly boosts fireball damage along with a ring with firebolt charges. I really have had fun with him and when i left off i think he was lvl 80 or so, and can kill in Hell. The killings a little slow but because your in a conviction pally people in parties love you and using FOH as back up works great.

I believe if we can get the right equipment we can do a nice build here.

Sounds like a great build shyon. I love wacky stuff like this! Maybe I can get the gear together on USeast. I have some decent stuff. A moonfall should be no more than a few pgems to trade for. Equip a 'spirit' shield in the other slot and you should have a powerful fireball.

I'll get back to you.... This sounds like a fun build.

Working on an enchant sorc atm too if you find any extra info on that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Nice Womble if i found some info about enchantress(enchant sorc) i'll let you know.

Spirit shield would be a good one.

I was think about to get too the Dragon armor(at the max lvl give massive strength so we can use a better shield) and Delirium or Dream Helm and get the trang claws and belt(cannot be frozen).

What you think?

Well the runes for those armours are a little out of my reach atm. My set-up to start with would be:

Helm: harlequin crest
Armour: skin of the vipermagi (fast cast, resists)
Gloves and belt: trang for fireball
rings: hopefully could trade for a few cheap BK rings for +1 skills (3% life leach is worth an UM) but raven frost+dwarf star atm.
Boots: silkweave
shield: 'Spirit' protector shield. I have a beauty I made with about 76% resist all except poison (or something)
Weapon: Moonfall of course. I could get this for a pgem I'm sure.

Sounds fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

You forgot something - the ring of firebolts - complement the bug for the fireball power. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I'll have to find one of those.

You can do a similar thing to make a fireclaws/rabies druid. The runeword 'stone' has charges of molten bolder. There's a ring which charges up rabies too but I forget the name.....

Maybe you don't need much to find one - if i'm not wrong the ring is crafted. I just don't had the time to read again but i'm following my memory what isn't bad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

You still have your throwbarb Shyon? I found a gimmershred last night. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Wow a gimmershred(this will make me kill a lot), yes i still have it. Btw when is the next game? Ube - Crusader - Womble? Someone else?
This final weekend i can't play, only at the next week.

It's a pit that my best equipment is only with my single player chars.
I found things like.
Blackhand key.
Gladiators Bane.
Shadow Killer.
and others.

congratz on 1000 posts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />arty:

Hehe, Lews don't know the smiliecodes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />.

Congratz Shyon, you're member 386, I'm member 6259, and I've got more than twice your post account...

And I'm free anytime, more or less...

Übereil

We should definately try to get together this weekend. I carried on with my trapper though. She's level 66 now, retired. I got bored and frustrated with her. I think I made her wrong. Lightning immunes thrash me too. I have an idea for remaking her however.

Where the hell is crusader anyway? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, where is he?

And I'm still lvl 40 or something...

Übereil

Thanks for the 1000 post congratulations, now is 1001. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Where is Crusader, Womble you'll start from 0 right? I'm thinking about this too, cause my barb is not so killer with more than 3 or 4 players together.
___________

I'm thinking about get a solid strategie so we can kill more fast in hell.
Next final weekend is good for me.

Maybe a rabies/fire druid - or fire phisical(volcano).

Or maybe a solid Sword barb - concentrate - or Mace(Maul).


Today i don't know, people you could let your msn active only for us, to don't waste time during the game - after we start we close it.

For who don't have my msn:
krysnamurt@hotmail.com

Anybody here is up to play today?(saturday) - the same time of the other games - 14:00 PM for me, 18:00PM for ubereil i believe, 2:00 am for crusader i believe too, Womble i don't know your time.

Possible source of the smith's name : "Griswold".

Further information : Edgar Allan Poe

Well, nobody here is playing?
If yes let me know when so we can play together, btw someone have itens for paladin?

I started yesterday an holy-freeze paladin - lvl 47 today - very nice play with 8 people at all those cow runs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Shyon: Baalruns is more gaining (I think...)...

Übereil

I know, still making nwm cows and baal runs, i´m lvl 65 today with great cold and phisical damage - got these itens:

Black Hades Chaos Armor
Heavens Light
Lem and Ko runes - for my runeword voice of reason
RatleCage armor
Lidless Walls Shield

and some things more, i dont remember all now.

Great fun today too.

Well as i can see, i'm playing alone at battle.net, no one more want to play?

I think people have been very busy lately.

Yes, maybe is this, btw lvl81 now - i have been cheated yesterday - a tip from me - never fall in soft talk or unbelievible things, or even try to trade itens if isnt by the trade window of the game - many hacks and cheaters around there - btw i made some new friends - real nice friends what i can trust my items. Is fun ppl thats what i can say.-
