I need the scope on TKing!!!!

[rev129]

Come Monday and the reset I'll be going back to HC. I recently came out of a 15 month retirement and have been playing SC of late. I hear that the hackers have managed to TK now. Well, they were able to in 1.10 anyway. Please give me any info on what TKers are doing and how I might avoid this.


My last HC player:
02-28-2004, 03:05 AM
Death Certificate

Character name: Mrs_Trapper
Character level: 90
Character class: Assassin
Character build: Trapper
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 5
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvMany monsters


Cause of demise: I was teleporting to baal. It was the 20th game in our run. Got a BO and bounced right into a swarm of ever monster known to man. I saw 4200 life drop off in about .001 of a second. She was the best trapper I had ever built, just made the top 100 list. Lev 46 Traps, over 9k damage and 395%MF to go along with it. Well, I'm pretty sure that will do it for a while. Summer is coming and my sex life has gone in the crapper of late. If I'm not around someone PM me when the new ladder season starts. I had fun, take care and God bless.

Well, I assume tk still works.

It doesn't involve any hacks, just using the fact that a1 rogue mercs can shoot into town. Therefore, it typically involves a very high dam merc (chant +fanat usually) and usually a druid who is hostile to the merc user spamming bears in front of town, that way the merc shoots for the bear, the arrows will pass into town and hit whoever the merc user is hostile to (only if you stand where they can shoot).

So.. generally its a team effort, and it truly is easy to avoid, just don't stand by town entrance if a likely character is hostile to you.
