Yep, me and Tresa faced the Diablo clone tonight, and sent him back to the
pits that spawned him. We were using sorcs, till we found out that didn't do
sh.t, so I came back with my ranger. Bolts were worthless, so I figured what
the hell, switched over the the BStar and Zak shield, and went toe to toe
with him(while Tresa, still using sorc), Orbed away from a safer distance.
It took a full belt of rejuvs, but in the end, the clone fell to our holy
might. Now I gotta do it again to help her get a charm, sucks that he only
drops 1!

Awesome!

Yeah, I need to do some refitting and get one of these semi-retired
mules into a fit state to be taking on the clone without having to
call on a third party.

By the way, I'm loving the new Holy Shield. I took the zealot out
for a wander around acts 2,4,5 today and just loved cleaving away
without nary a blocking animation in sight. It's great having 9K
defense while wearing a wealth armour.

The Diablo Clone is supposedly 95% resistant to everything. That is pretty
close to one hundred if you ask me. How did you decide who should get the
charm? :-)

Yep, a sorc taking him on 1 on 1 is flat out screwed. A firewall/orb sorc
that can tank may be able to, but most sorcs? Nope, you're out of luck.

I was there so I got it. Plus, we couldn't beat him until I got my pally;-)

Hammerdins should take him down fast. BH and FoTH ignore immunities.

Has that changed? Cause in .09 FotH is lightning damage, and most certainly
does not ignore immunities.

Since Shiflet has the sweetest, most selfless and giving best friend
ever (modest, too), there was no need for such decision-making. ;-)

Okay, so he snatched it up, but I *would* have given it to him. He
did all the work. My sorc was all but useless against the clone. The
next one is MINE, though, D. ;-)

I still remember an incident many years ago when a bunch of us AGDers
were playing classic, when a rare ring dropped, and we all just
gathered around looking at it sitting on the ground and waiting for
someone else to pick it up.

If I'm playing with one of my regular groups, I use the 3 second rule.

Once I see an item drop, I count off 3 seconds. If noone elese takes
it, I grab it. If it isn't something I can use, I hand it off ASAP.

I've probably given away a lot more stuff than I've kept on the ladder.
It does come back to me as well. I gave this one sorc in some random
coop game a Ral she needed in A3 to make Leaf. Later after Ormus handed
out his crap, she gave me the 4LL/AR/FCR/Res ring she got from him
without me even asking.
