Pull up a headstone and sit by the fire, it's time to recollect some of the more...humorous...experiences that we Priests of Rathma have witnessed throughout the demon-plagued world of Sanctuary.
One of my fondest memories was lagging out Cow Games with the help of a zon in 1.09. I'd create a bonewall field in one part of a level and the zon would shoot multishot into that field with her Goldstrike. The FoHs resulting from this were amazing, and the games always lagged out in an absolute snowstorm of holy bolt fireworks. Good times.
Funniest thing is that it never lagged out me or the zon, but everyone else did probably due to positioning or something.
XXX:LAG LAG LAGGGG
XXX: OMG WTFFF????
XXX was slain by Hell Bovine
sorcykiltu was slain by Hell Bovine
XXX dropped due to timeout
barbie dropped due to timout
sorcykiltu dropped due to timeout
Some of my favorite good times came from PVP with my venomancer in 1.10. I've killed a sorc with one pnova before, quite funny. She got hit by one side of the pnova, which brought her to one and teleported across (evading, mind you) and got hit by the other side, killing her. I was ROFL. I did the same thing to another necro as well, and it was as funny as the first time.
I was also using gumby versus a trapper, and when she was at one before I could summon beatboxer I got stunlocked in mindblasts. I thought all was lost, but gumby walked up to her and somehow hit her, showing the world what a real killer the clay man can be. I was LMAO.
Ah, this is all I can think of at the moment

Some of the weird stuff in 1.09...
I had a Necro summoner build which was much better than the then 'state of the art' (well, for PvM anyway). So I'm just tootling around, levelling the merc in act 4, and join up with a zon a couple of levels lower than me. After about five minutes of me tootling around, just clearing up the monsters, he's like "omg, thats the most powerful mid level build I've ever seen" (or something like that).
So I thank him, but as I sit there, something is bugging me... a nagging feeling that I could be killing a lot faster than I am right now... what could it be...?
Oh yes, thats it, I have Corpse Explosion in the low double digits... *which I'm not using*.
So I reply "hey, thats nothing, watch *this*", and I start ripping out the CEs left right and centre...
About 30 seconds later he's like: "you are a god".
---=---
Of course, back in 1.09 Bloody Runs were very popular ways to level up. (Ie take the first act 5 wp to shenk and then just kill everything in your path till you get back to town).
Also, in 1.09 the necro was everyone's favourite whipping boy, barbs, sorcs, amas, they'd all diss us. They'd complain about all the cowardly necros leeching in the Bloody Foothills and how the only thing we were good for was stealing everyone elses drops and tossing in the occassional curse.
So I found it *particularly* galling, when (with the same Necro from above) I'd have multiple barbs, all like 10 levels higher than me, following me around and trying to steal my drops in Bloody Runs.

NB: the 1.10 patch nerfed this 'secret tech' of mine (not that I'm *bitter* or anything)

One of my favorite laggy moments was again in 1.09.
I was in a cow game with a few too many characters that couldn't kill anything. Soon the red portal was covered with everyones corpses except mine. I managed to get my Blood Golem into the middle of the group of cows and Iron Maidened the group.
My invincibility was insured.
After a few of the cows fell to thier own power, I started using my Max CE on the group. Nearly every cow in the level's corpse was in that one screen area.
The lag was great.
*starts to spam*
I remember having a PK attempt on the old school blood golem/IM mancer in 1.09 on Bnet. As i fled screaming from the scary WW PK Barb i noticed that he used WW to get through the bone walls i was hurling at him. So up goes IM, then he kept WW'ing through bone walls and i could see his HP bar dropping when i hovered. So i started running in circles until he killed himself. then when he came to get his corpse he popped. I was going to swipe his Grandfather but i didnt have a use for one.
Luring cows to the red portal, fondest memories of all those bugged nova sorcs and glass cannon zons stepping out the portal to ge ttrounced.

Luring cows to the red portal
That reminds me of how useful terror was in .09
a few days ago using my lvl 73 bonemancer in a pub duel game, a lvl 83 windy came to me. without using tele the bonewall and spear was the star. after a few deaths he suddenly put one something slowing my missle...... ha, I was standing there then and my spears and spirits was even slower than my walk---really, not even run, walk. i swich to teeth and it goes so slow too, but I kept casting till the whole screen was covered by my little white dots. he walked toward me and (i don't know what he was thinking???) drop dead right in front of me. he he he, funniest pub duel so far.

I have another cow story;
Back in .09 I had about 40 some cows all bunched up by doing the confused thing when the baba (Of course) insists that I amp for him while he WW saying my way was too slow. After politely declining the Baba just had the lower level Summoner Cast amp for him.
As He carelessly WW into the cowhorde I just bid a hasty retreat to see the entire sction of the map converge on the Baba. Naturally he panicked and tried to WW his way out of the converging mess not realizing the size of my herd.
After about 5 attempts to reclaim his body. He just cursed me out and left.

Well...
The funniest thing around the campfire?.. Oh! I know... After dueling a Sorceress and easily killing her with my minions... I got very famished and I decided to see what a Sorceress tasted like. She was very tasty. And, when I were done chowing down on the delicacy, one of my mages offered me a finger bone so I could pick my teeth. I thought that was kind of humorous. My minions and I laughed about that, all night.
I wished my minions had a tongue and a stomach so that they could've enjoyed the meal... although, my merc didn't have the stomach for it, even though he had one.

I don't think i'll ever get sick of hearing about/seeing big strong barbs being completely overwhelmed by underestimating the power of a simple one point wonder curse.
one day me and a couple of friends were bored, so we made a normal "free enigma" game and said it was in trist, then hostiled everyone and killed em all. (i was using summoner). This soon got boring, we were all pretty good, so we thought we'd try it in nightmare. Surprisingly, people with their own enigmas started joining, one of my friends started getting his arse kciked and the other had to go. so it was me vs 4 enigma using players +2 noobs. without using revive bug i started owning everyone, quite fun really, just tele on em and amp. luckily there were no fire ballers or windys. allthough there was a low lvl trapsin.
- lvl 4x. gave me more trouble than all the 7x's combined.allthough i still didnt die (merc died about 10x >< luckily i was stealing the noobs gold so i still gained half a mill). good times.

I once killed a man just to watch him die
then revived him just to watch him die again because I got distracted the first time
yesterday:
1. open wound onto a barb, watch him WW to me and die infront of me.
2. a lvl 67 sin can't kill my clayman. for two minutes, they were fighting.
3. then a FOHdin wracked me 3X. he said, omd you suck.

for #3, you bring a lvl 9 char and use throwing pots at same pally and he dies and you say, "you have been trouted. good day"

All the funny moments come from duelling moments or from being an ***. Nobody did something in PvM that made them LOL?

i saw a praying mantis in a3 and was about to squish it, but had a 2nd thought: what if it was mad mantis or a relative? so i decided to walk away.
too bad one of my skels inadvertantly stepped on it when i turned around :(
in pvm, i found a crystal sword named death scythe, which is the name of the godly rare phase; i put it on a char named deathscythe :)

I was playing hardcore classic and a hammerdin pally tried to trigger pk me.
None of my minions or myself got hit by his hammers, and I was standing right next to him.
Hmmm...pvm funny moments....
I forget what patch but I once found a perfect diamond in act1 norm SP. For some reason super pots dropped in early norm too :confused:
Back in whatever pre-expansion patch I remember when fire golem could kill the hell out of meph. He was my favorite golem for a long time. I remember downloading a patch at some point and my killing power of my char went to like...zilch... (not 1.10) :mad:
I remember when poison explosion was useful (as it's radius and cloud duration got bigger with levels) but I still looked over it. *kicks self*
OH, for pvp I was dueling another venomancer and he told me he didn't like my gear. He was using a shako and some dagger (I don't use MH, but I know it wasn't blackbogs or wiz. It was like a black dagger) and I had a 2/20/+18str/+40-50ish mana circ and a 2/2/49 dweb with a 5/5 die facet. He had a 5k pnova and I had an 8k...I'm not trying to be cocky about my setup vs. his (I know from experience that having "UBER LEETS" doesn't mean your a good player) but he asked to see mine and wouldn't even show me his ... and he's all "I don't like your gear".
Funniest moment lately, a wind druid goes hostile in a baal run game and teleports right into the midst of us...onto a blessed hammer. ROFL
The other day I was playing with a couple guys. We had just started hardcore untwinked and were playing through the game together. I was making a bonemancer. Well, I was essentially the curse ***** for the group and was starting to get tired of it. Things like "Omg nerco amp!!1" and "Stpd Ncero TAP!!!1!"
I put up with it and we hit act 2. Well. i finally had enough when an idea came to me. The group ran up to a bunch of those beattles and I bonewalled behind them. Then i shot about 12 teeth into the beetles, doing almost *no*damage. However, each beatle got hit at about the same time, and charged bolts hit all over. The guys couldn't run anywhere, and i just kept spamming teeth till everybody but 1 sorc died. I gave up hardcore, but i did laugh for about ten minutes straight.

If you want sum fun with your skelliemancer, go to travincal and revive nothing but blood lords, council members and sextons. With lower resist theyre a hell-a-fun and pretty effective (SM lvl 40+). Youll see blizzards, fire balls, meteors, lightning and hydras all over the place ^^

Thats a really early one, maybe pre 1.03

Hmm... a patch where necros got nerfed that wasn't 1.10... well *that* narrows it down. :rollseyes:
I remember when poison explosion was useful (as it's radius and cloud duration got bigger with levels) but I still looked over it. *kicks self*
Don't kick yourself! Remember that it wouldn't have had synergies, and also that Corpse Explosion would probably have been much better way back then. (I *think* it gets more and more nerfed with every patch... not sure if it ever reversed the trend and got better for a patch or two) Also monster regen is more of an issue now, also that the way poison works changes in strange and incomprehensible ways (and so you might have ruined it for other people in your party using po)
... He had a 5k pnova and I had an 8k... and he's all "I don't like your gear".
Size does matter :D

True, CE will probably always be better than PE, but I just wish I had that huge radius/cloud duration NOW, especially in baal runs. I could let a p explosion fly and not cast a single thing for the rest of the run, besides turn on the boob tube and grab a coke, and still do much of the killing.
Size does matter :D
lol ;)
My fav. moment with a necromancer was when i was leveling up my below 50 summoner in 1.09.
In comes some random 90+ hexer ith barb hostiling everyone in the game and starts dropping random goodies outside the gate for everyone to try and get to.
Out comes my iron golem...
Baba gets amped...
Down goes the barb....
I get new gear, although its all hacked crap. Sold it all within 1 hour.
I did the same thing with my hunter in 1.09 with spirit of barbs & a dire or spirit wolf, cant remember which one. But i didnt get anything special for it.

Oh yeah, also the Plague Javelin, the whole expanding cloud thing, monsters poisoning themselves multiple times... sweet.
According to the *really freaking out of date* FAQqy type thing the duration would have only been 2 seconds, and the poison damage would have been only 250ish at lvl 20. (Actually, I guess its pretty much the same damage per second if you don't include synergies - of course with lower hps, I guess the old one would have been a lot better until you put a significant chunk of points into the synergies (which, of course, you're going to do anyways))
Blizzard give, and blizzard taketh away.
A couple of weeks ago, i joined a trade game (i cant remember what the trade was actually). There was a necro who after a rejected offer started flaming me as only 12 year olds can do.
Anyway, this guy definitely wanted to duel me. I just made soulesschild bonemancer which was not completed but i was pretty annoied by this guy so i accepted the duel. He said: wait a few secs, and he went into a wp, coming back a couple of moments later with a huge army of skellies.
I was a bit down at that time, but i could recall a little sentence in the guide saying something about terror... ^^
And when my lousy 3 k bonespear hit the little soul necro omg it was like making the winning goal in Camp Nou, Barcelona.
I really loved my 1.09 witchy zon, and all the maphackers going, "OHMIGODZ EZ DAT THA NEW ITHZ?". Go go pure dex + max/min j00ls in almost every socket. :worship:
It was so fun to kill faster than the bugged zons. Heh.

If this is a competition, my vote's on this one. BWAHAAAHAAAA! Awesome. Twisted and evil, but awesome. And it's technically PvM.
Somebody Nk'd me once in a mid level pub duel. I just ran back out, hit 'im with bone prison and said, "That was rude." They just sat there running around like a rat in a maze. I should have BS'd him to death but I enjoyed watching him squirm. Eveybody else laughed. We might not get as many whirly barb deaths due to IM, but bonemancers have the most fun.
A new one; metal grid + idiot pubby traders trying to con you with dropping items half way accross the screen with pickit. Its funny to see some barb cry about loosing his crappy kingslayer...

So there i was minding my own busines studying the black arts, when a barb asked if i wanted to die in a deul. All the other players in town (about4, dont really remember) said that i would loose because a poison/bone necro has no chance against him. So being a summoner necro (dont know why they thought i was a poison/bone??? little weird) I agree to his challenge. As soon as we leave town i run as far and fast away as i can. Stupidly he sits there at the bridge (actI) and types curses at me to get me back there. So after raising my hord of undead minions, i run back at him (raising only took a few secs). HAHAHAHAHAHAH. After I ironmaiden him he does a WW into a mass of minions, dont know what he was thinking, oh well slow I guess. That was his first and last attack. i can just think of the exresion on his face. One of the most memorable deuling moments I have.

back in 09, i remember after getting my nerco to lvl 18
decided to do hell cows solo with him,
he used infernals set, eye of elitch, and i think sigons sheild.
had maxed iron maiden, 1 bg and was working on maxing out golem mastry
anyway he did it solo, im cow, throw bg infront.
he killed all the cow except for king, and made it to over lvl 30, not bad for one game. don`t recall anything decent dropping tho.
it took about 30mins to do tho lol
it is the lowest lvl char in 09 that i recall that can solo hell cows.
