coo, so your next one is gonna be named Rizzo, right right right?? :flip: :D

[ThePunisher]

Congratulations! It sounds like a fun character.

Cool Patriarch - but what's with the axes? Spearthrower called himself that for a reason you know. :)

I actually remember reading one of Spearie's throw-barb guides. I completed one in an MP group, but the constant trips to town for repairs (every 90 seconds or so at one point) drove me crazy.

Last I heard Spearthrower was teaching in Thailand now. Waimea still keeps in touch with him from time to time.

Is Spearthrower the first of your set of 7? I want to know who you've chosen for all the other characters now. :)

Nice work sunbearie :clap: I hope to get a thrower to Guardian one day. :) Also, nice themed char idea :thumbsup:

I actually remember reading one of Spearie's throw-barb guides.
I think that guide is still out there on Stargaze's site. If I ever get the time (yeah right), I hope to bring all of those classic 1.07-1.09 guides into the Strat Compendium.

[lone_wolf]

good choice for a pat but as we all know it should have been spears :idea:

i think i still have the spearthrower build saved on my mail will look into it later

[Dacar92]

Congrats on the Pat.

[whomhead]

congrats on the Pat! i also want to know what you've got planned for the other "oldies."

oh yeah, and where's your running wolf, L_W? its just not the same without him!

[ThePunisher]

Nevermind, I accidentally posted after the webpage was open for 3 hours or so, and others had mentioned this point already...

[Dodgydave]

Congratulations on the Patriach, good to see someone going old school.

[Silverbolt]

Congrats on the pat! :winner:

[LordDamien]

Congrats on the Pat :thumbsup:

[tweety]

Congratz!!

Good luck with the next one.

[TalkingDonkey]

Excellent work! All that running back and forth to town must of gotten annoying, eh?

[sunbearie]

Yes, yes, I know I should have went with spears but the main thing is spears have a really small quantity. I went with them first but 80 spears disappear in less than a min especially in the beginning with no good equipment. I keep more axes in a stack :)

One thing I forgot to mention abt this char, he's constantly trying to get money. It costs a lot to keep repairing those axes and I never liked to twink money.
I did keep 2 high elemental spears for PIs though :)

Last I heard, Spearthrower was teaching in Thailand too.

So far, I've considered a zealot for Greybeard and a Frenzybarb for Darkness. I'm still open for suggestions for the rest. Oh, a build for Durf would be appreciated. Thought of doing seven chars for seven moderator (including a crazy hardcore build for AE) but those are just future projects :lol:

Maybe an Assasin of some sort - really fast and chaotic. For me, maybe a Druid. That's my favorite class.

[Icebird]

Yep, Frenzybarb using swords for Darkness (I believe his had a Doombringer and Grandpa). For Durf, a Charged Boltress in honour of Sparkys 1 through 8 (or however many hardcore CB sorcs he's managed to kill off). Maybe an Elemental Summoner for AE? That still leaves the assassin, necromancer and amazon slots to fill.

I have a 1.09 Matriarch named (and built) after a forum member: Sapphidia.

She was not around when I signed up here, but her old posts were (there was no forum crash in a long time back then).

Sapphidia is an amazon that wields a two-handed sword, uses no Decoy/Valk and is accompanied by a Fire Rogue. She spent a lot of times moving around to arrange fights she could win. Life steal was crucial for survival.

I deviated from this weapon choice only once, against Hell Ancients. I killed Talic and Madawc with a bow with enormous poison damage and lots of running (you know that was a good method in 1.09!). The poison immune Spectral Hit Lightning Enchanted Korlic, she meleed. I´m very proud that she could stand up to him.

Sapphidia´s weapon of choice (dropped by NM Mephisto) was a Shael-ed Cloudcrack.

Total deaths during her career: about 20. If I had played such a build now, there would have been a lot less deaths, but I seriously doubt I could have made her Guardian, even in this version.

One of my favourite characters of all time. Maybe I should try it in 1.10...

[sunbearie]

Go for it, it'll be hilarious if we have a MP game with SPF chars :lol:

[King's Specter]

sunbearie - did you go by a different nick in the old days or are you just from older days than me :P ?

Cool idea! I've got a lvl94 pally named Ryan_Greybeard. With aura flashing dead, you won't be able to make the classic "tankadin", but I think you should certianly try to finish the game with a baranar's star!

Darkness's sword should be a 1.07 grandpa to be completely accurate. :)

It would be funny to have MP games with "sponsored" characters. GG team MicTar!!!

[Gh0stfac3]

Gratz on the Patriarch, nice weapons aswell :thumbsup:

[lone_wolf]

oh yeah, and where's your running wolf, L_W? its just not the same without him!

my running wolf is gone as i asked for it (think AE did it)

the reason why i wanted it gone is that I as a white user can not change my profile in anyway nor can i send pms but that is old news.

if i would have had the option i would have changed to a better running wolf as a member here once made wolfie much better then the version you saw.

I've been here from the first day of the SPF but I'm not that active a poster so I'm easily forgotten :lol:

I'll need two of them to be exact :lol:

To be honest, I'm not going for complete accuracy simply cos
1) some of the stuff is near-impossible to get
2) I'm working on rough memory here on what they had :lol:

Anyway, I'm going with an untwinked char next so it'll depend on his luck.

[Darkness]

1.07 GF +ohm & Silence CB be precise. :)

Oddly enough I was speaking to a certain Mr Spearthrower today. He is alive, well, still teaching in Thailand. If he doesn't pop in here, I'll send him your regards.:)
