KTA Kill Bill rules in NM act 3,4,5

[det]

What can I say? We are awesome. We want to play at lv 60 in hell. Nothing stands in our way. No Dolls, no Gloams, no Oblivian Knights and certainly not Mephisto or Diablo.

Sure, there are a few moments where your life drops a slither, but when monsters res and def are lowered by 145%/92% and you deal CB on all sides and tons and tons of elemental damage while they are also stunned by warcries, its just a sorry sight.

After we just walzed through the second half of act 3, all of act 4 and act 5 to the rescue of Anya, we gave the sorry monsters a rest and called it a night, not without muling even better gear in.

We sure can't wait for Monday..but I hear Baal sobbing and crying on his Throne :lol:

Ohh man! The story about tonight and not a word on that amazing barb "Zangerknaab". Det man, your doing it on purpose right? :lol:

[Aerath]

We have a barb ?? :scratch:

Anyway... some screenies, from various monster deaths.

Boring as always. Everything died within seconds, noone got seriously hurt.

I didn't even have to use a single pot...

Hey Ham, my man..read the post...

To quote myself: ".......and tons and tons of elemental damage while they are also stunned by warcries, its just a sorry sight...."

You are right there in the story. We all love you :)

Cool pics, Aerath..I love the blue-fryed Diablo :clap:

[Aerath]

Quote of the day :

"I thought we were going to rush to Hell ?"
"Isn't that what we're doing now ?"

[Dire_Wulf]

I hope you don't mean it is boring to play the game Aerath. I myself am enjoying immensley the fully twinked all out oblitathon that is KTA 5.0.

Obviously with it being twinked it can all seem a bit too easy and no fun for some, but these twinked KTA outings are just meant as a bit of a break from the gruelling hard work that is Untwinked hardcore action.

Anyway, as for last night, you people who said there were no close calls.......wrong. Obviously you forgot (or didn't see) the time that my life dropped to less than 100 (from 2000+). I forgot to switch to a normal attack to activate phoenix and DTalon'ed an OK with IM above my head. 3 kicks later and it was nearly deeds time.

Apart from that little pulse quickener everything else went smoothly. Looking forward to Monday when we should gain the levels necessary to equip our end-game gear.

Those carvers in act1 hell won't know what hit em.

[Chiller_babe]

Well it definitely looks like you guys are having a blast :lol:

Great screenies too - I hope you waltz through hell with the greatest of ease (BUT ALSO A BIT MORE OF A CHALLENGE)

Nice to know there is nothing that can stand in the way of a well organised party

Chill

[Aerath]

Oh, I'm having a blast, baroni =]

Just that so far we've encountered nothing really challenging =]

I mean, even that IMed Kick-experience (be glad it wasn't me, cos I would've been dead ;)) was not caused by anything the game flung at us, but more because of your own mistake.

(It's the main reason I put one point in Blade Fury... ;))

Speaking of end gear :
Anyone manage to get that 3 socket archon ?
Or, the runes to upgrade Duriel's ?

It'll be time to start using some better jewelry as well... That, and it's nearing the time I can use credendum and laying of hands (and then on to Dracul's Grasp... *w00t!*)

// BTW - any got some ideas as to what to socket my stuff with ?

If I upgrade Duriel's I could probably put some Res in there...
G.Face could use a socket, as well as Ribcracker. Keep in mind that I'll be sorely lacking in the resistance department unless I seriously work to counter that.

Items with loads of res springing to mind:

Tals mask or Nats Helm, Nats boots, Thundergods with Raven and Dwarf take care of the 3 major elementals. If not that, gambling for rares :) .. or just some magical all res ammy.

Of course, once we enter certain areas like Maggots and WSK in Hell, its Salvation time for all ;)

I just saw that Nords Tenderizer is lv 68 req..so I might as well skip on that and wait 2 more levels for the awesome Gimmershed: Melee and ranged attack on one weapon..and elemental damage that will be increased by my passive auras :clap:

I am putting off to invest in Redemption right now btw. I did not invest at all in that defensive tree so far, so its gonna cost me 5 points to get there. Guess once we are in act 5 hell its early enough.

[Aerath]

Tal Mask, Rockstopper or Nat Mask are no-no's -> Guilleaume's Face
Nat Boots are no-no's -> Gore rider *need upgrade probably*

Thundergods is good, but adds no res. Credendum = 15 res all
Raven and Star probably would help.. would have to think on Mana leech then, but CS would help with that I suppose.

Currently using Mahim-Oak w/ 10% Res all

BTW... Anyone ever encounter +2 Martial Arts gloves w/ good res or other good mods ?
I found some on sc, but they had crappy secondary mods.

[det]

Oh..too late..I had gloves with +2 MA and IIRC 20 IAS and res..but another sin wears them in our team.

Looks like you decked out pretty well..just need to decide if the lightning absorb from TG is > or < to the 15 res all from Credendum. Since only your amulet seems open for change..and a Maras is out of the question (too expensive?), maybe a Saracens chance is an affordable middle ground?

Would Fade help in certain situations? Otherwise, its possible to get 15 res all rings (gambling) or res all charms...they make up 20% res all on my M'avina zon..but I need them all unfortunately.

....and if you have a couple og MALs lying around, you could still trade for an Anni :innocent:

[Aerath]

Hadn't thought of the gloves earlier... I'll live ;)

I'd sooner take an Atma's than a Saracen's I think.

I -am- pumping Fade atm, but I doubt I'll be able to get it higher than the -75 penalty from Hell soon ;) We'll see. Rings and a Rare Amu, as well as some better charms probably will go a long way.
