Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / December 2005ChillBill-II Does UT
Well, I'd had some luck with Chill-Bill in UT last ladder and figured a Freezealot was a viable build for UT so I made CB-II this ladder. I've had an organ set for a while now, thanks to my Necro killing the lessers. I'd intended to try UT when I had a few people on my friends list around, just in case but, tonight, I needed the challenge, I needed to kill some nasty bastards. Nobody on my friends list was around but I thought "What the hell?". I'd have liked to have had a Stormlash but I figured an Azurewrath (Shaeled, albeit a low-stats one) would do. Drac's, (of course), Duress Archon Plate (Bad roll, low ED), GoreRiders upgraded to Myrmidon's, HoZ upgraded to Zakarum Shield, 3% LL Bul-Kathos Wedding Band, average Raven Frost, Highlords Wrath and this Pally hat: http://test.internet-webmaster.de/upload/1134824486.jpg (I put the 15% IAS jewel in to reach the last breakpoint for zeal) Would've been nice if the Ciclet has +2 Pally skills but you can't have everything right? Might merc with ethereal Obedience Thresher, Tal's Fugly and upgraded Shaftstop. Started a game called 'do-it' and killed Coutess, Shenk and Eldritch. It seemed stable so I cubed the organs and went in the portal and then back out again, to 'seed' it at players 1. Here's where I cheated. I bough in a barb with a level 35 BO and an Enchantess with a level 34 enchant and parked them at the Frigid Highlands WP. I'm sure that the purists will be disgusted but, hey, <shrug> it works for me. I peoceeded to the WP, shouted and then enchanted, went back to Harrogath and headed north, then widdershins to the west. Once I got to the bottom left corner I started to move in a little, then back, then in a bit furtherm then back again... until sudenlt Uber Meph came screaming after me like a psycho-killer on crack. Now, here's where I made my mistake. :-( I'd forgotten to have Salvation aura on, I had Holy Freeze. I died in about 3 seconds. (It's ok folks, this is SC). Much forehead slapping later I exited and rejoined the game and consloed myself with the fact that, A) I'd just leveled up to 86 so didn't lose much and, B) Meph was parked where I could get to him easilly. I ressurected the merc, went through the pre-fight buffing procedure again, checked I had 16 purples and... Once more into the breech. Meph was where I left him and was dispatched with alacrity. I needed one purple until Drac's Life Tap kicked in, then it was a matter of 20 seconds tops. Hmm, what to do next? I continued widdershins, along the river, until I came to the gap in the buildings. I figured I'd best try to lure one of the others out there. Probably not my greatest idea as it didn't leave me much room to manouvre when they both came rushing out at me, festering apendages, pig-lords and vampires everywhere. I was mobbed gentle people, completelty surrounded. I was going through my supply of purples faster than I would have liked. My merc was doing OK as long as he stayed within the sphere of the Life Tap. However, he wandered a little, as is his wont. I went through my purples, about two for him for every one for me. Originally I concentrated on Baal as he was the one who came at me first. However, I didn't seem to be taking him down very fast and was concerned that my half-stash of purples wasn't going to be enough at that rate. Accordingly I switched my attack to Diablo, I had around 11 of my belt-load of purples left at this stage. I Zealed that big dog until he only had a sliver of life left and I had one purple. My merc's life-bar was down in the yellow but I really didn't want to use my last purp on him in case I didn't manage to finish off Big D and he regenerated life. However, he had fought valiantly so I gave it to him. Fortuneately Big D went down jst as my life was dropping and I made a dash for the red portal. <whew> Made it. Ok, refill the belt, revisit my friends on the hill and back for Baal. It was rather uneventful, truth be told. Harder than normal Baal in a players 8 game but not by much. The minions were a distraction as Zeal likes to hit all around instead of focusing on the primary target. However, my trusty merc helped considerably with that little problem. After a few minutes there it was! A unique large charm and three Standards of Heroes. (I must admit a little foible of mine here, after making many runewords and wishing for the best stats I've adopted a policy of doing the opposite. When I made my HotO for my necro I said, aloud, "30 res all" and it came out as 40. As that had worked so well, just as Baal died I said "Barb torch, 10/10" as I pretty much have no use for such a thing). I cleared out the rest of the minions so that the barb and the sorc could come collect their Standards, all the while putting off the moment when I'd have to talk to Cain and find what the torch was. Once the other two had their Standards and all the minions were dead I went to talk to Cain and then opened my inventory. This is what I saw: http://test.internet-webmaster.de/upload/1134826606.jpg I'm rather happy with that. About the best possible outcome as far as I'm concerned. A 20/20 Pally torch, far better than I'd hoped for. I'd had visions of having to start a druid or an assasin if the torch was one of those. I don't play either characters at all so don't know how that would have gone. So, yeah, W00T!!!!!11!! I just hope that the firestorm doesn't lag my games too much. Oh well, off to test my Pally, maybe look for some more keys.... Cheers,  Signature~misfit~ Hey Mate!! Way to go!! You are an honor to all of us. Great story too. keep it up.

A bloody 20/20 Pally torch first go. (Other times have been off-ladder, assisting others so no torch for misfit) Oh, realised after I'd sent it, I didn't say what my belt was. It's a 15% damage reduction SoE. Signature~misfit~ > Once the other two had >their Standards and all the minions were dead I went to talk to Cain and >then opened my inventory.

That is probably the most valuable item in the game I'm guessing. Torches seem to be falling (from what I'm told/seen/have read) at a ratio of 3:2:1 in favour of druid, amazon, and barb, then necro, then sorc and pally being the rarest. Then to get perfect stats... I've not heard of that before. However, after being burnt once trying to trade a torch I wouldn't do it again, also, it's nice to have. It'll make his next trip to UT easier and I can replace a lot of resist charms with damage/life/defence charms. Maybe skillers too when I find a few. I seem to have found them for every other class. Now I just need more Nilly keys. My freezealot runs The Countess in about 1 minute if I don't stop to kill monsters on the way (unless they're blocking doorways) and, as he's currently using an Azurewrath that has the aura that pushes the undead back, the Arcane is easy too (It's just picking the correct arm that's a PITA). In the Arcane I only kill about 5% of the creatures, mainly goats that I can't get past. Otherwise I just run. The combination of FR/W and slows monsters by ~60% (High-level Holy Freeze) is great. I've even ran right through the WSK straight to the throneroom without killing anything. Lost the merc though. :-( My necro has been pretty good at killing Nilly, (around 5 minutes or less on average, depending on what monsters are down there) however, he just seems to be out of keys at the moment. I do all three in each key game I run and I have 4 Countess, 2 Summoner and only 1 Nilly keys saved up.

I've been hitting the Countess rather hard recently and have gleaned 6 terror keys but the highest rune was an Io. How do you do it? I always start the game with a mule who hasn't done the quest as the rune drops are better and run in a players 3 game. What else do I need to do?

I did have one super drop, where she parked a VEX, LEM and key all at once. Well, at least that's what was on the floor after the battle was done, but something there MAY have been dropped by the random boss I killed along with La Contessa and her crew.

I do the [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > after the battle was done, but something there MAY have been dropped > by the random boss I killed along with La Contessa and her crew. I'll keep trying. I only did a couple runs tonight. I took the necro into the Pit for a change and the died! Twice! This necro may as well have been HC, he hadn't died yet. However, the roll of the dice saw five boss packs all at once, two of which were archers, multishot bosses. At least two of the bosses had fanaticism auras and one had conviction. Another had amp damage. All in one area. I died once, then again getting the body back. :-( LOL, on a trip to the cold plains to get an army up to go back for the body a 49% Tarnhelm dropped. I swear that, with this ladder, MF over about 50 - 100% is actually detrimental. My Pally (<40%MF) found a +3 skills, 2 socket Heaven's Light a couple days ago as well as a Highlord's Wrath a few days before. Only one key tonight, a Hate key. Nilly dropped me a GC I might roll a few times though.

I also found 3 more DOL runes on Countess runs. The one who has yet to pay me off (other than a 5%LL ring with a few resists) is Andariel, who is being somewhat cheap with the jewelry.

You just have to jump in there and give it a go. It ain't HC, as you say. Just try to do it after you've leveled so you don't have much to lose. Oh, and, as soon as you get the torch, exit the game and re-enter. So that it's saved on the server.

Oh. > Never mind. :P Yeah, that's the real fun for me, seeing if I can get everything frozen with GS before it kills me. Then again, playing no melee chars with uncontrolled aggression is my personal peculiarity. This is never more obvious than when I do pubbie Baal walks with my necro. I am usually running out in front of the barbs, dogs and paladins. I think I play a necro more aggressively than I do any other char. I suspect this is due to the fact that I have a certain sense of godliness with a necro, given all the tools at his disposal :) Mickey "~misfit~" wrote... > Well, I'd had some luck with Chill-Bill in UT last ladder and figured a > Freezealot was a viable build for UT so I made CB-II this ladder.

Now I use Sygate. I'm told it's not free naymore or won't be soon as Symantec (?) have bought it. However, I have the install file I downloaded a few months ago. I have XP's firewall on (which is very much a "firewall lite") and also my router has an embedded Linux HW firewall.DHCP server so I'm probably overdoing it. The main reason I use Sygate is so that IE doesn't connect to the net without permission (I have it set to ask) as a lot of malware use IE as a portal. Firefox is set as my default browser anyway. >> Merry Christmas buddy, I intend to play a bit in a while and see if >> Blizz is going to give me any presents.

Also, "merry" doesn't exactly apply to my Christmas either. However, I did just find the VIVO (Video In/Video Out) lead for my graphics card that has been 'lost' for ages, presumed gone for ever. That made my day. I paid $100 extra for that feature (VIVO) when I bought the card, (nVidia GF4 ti4200) then went to price the cable when I'd lost it and was quoted $120. The days of having that sort of money spare are gone. Now to cook myself an omelette for dinner and then have another bash at finding some keys. It's strange, I do Countess, Summoner and Nilly in every game (with 3 characers in) and I have 3/5/1 keys in that order. Last time it was 3/3/5. ("Traded" away the spare Nilly ones to a friend). I wanted to run UT tonight but I doubt I'm going to find 2 Nilly keys in time. Take care, Signature~misfit~ >> "~misfit~" wrote... >>>> "~misfit~" wrote... [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > connect to the net without permission (I have it set to ask) as a lot of > malware use IE as a portal. Firefox is set as my default browser anyway. Of all the reasons that I HATE anything Microsoft and LOVE my Merlin server, the best of the best is the Gatekeeper. It acts as both firewall and cyber-nanny. A quick story: I have a friend who works for a department of the federal government which does not exist (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), a group dedicated to locating and infiltrating terrorist cyber activities. One day, while talking, I mentioned that he and his crew would find it somewhat less easy to get into my system. The usual testosterone tantrum ensued, and ended up with me giving him the IP to my server and betting he could not get past my protection. The bet ($5) was that he could do it in 24 hours, with me adding $5 for every hour he beat it by and him adding $5 for every hour he missed it by, with a cap of $1200 either way. The next day he called me saying that the IP was invalid, so I sent him an email so he could see the point of origination. Three hours later he was actually able to see the machine online. Three DAYS later, he called and surrendered, and then asked what the hell I was running for an OS, as he had tried all flavors of Windows, Unix and Linux methods of gaining entry. I told him it was Merlin Server 4.5.3. He said "Gatekeeper? You PRICK!!!!". He then told me that it is a good thing that IBM does not ship that out to non-commercial users, as it is, to their knowledge, not possible to beat.

I like the idea of being un-crackable. I'm afraid I'm rather easy pickings for anyone with a few skills. I don't like that. :-( Signature~misfit~ > "~misfit~" wrote... >>> "~misfit~" wrote...

A concept I cannot wrap me brain around, as it would seem to have wasted the best years. Between 17 and 25.... ah yes, fond memories of a perpetual sex drive, and the vigor (level 42, with items) to use it 7-12 times a day. Oddly, in retrospect, I don't recall doing much of anything else worthwhile at the time :o) Mickey |
