Meet the Olympians

[jjscud]

With some amazing results I know there are several of us that would really like to see what builds/chars they were accomplished with.

Please feel free to post you own Olympians and/or request to see others.


To kick things off, I'll post mine. I know it was for 11th place but she's an awesome runner, my luck was just wasn't there.

a bunch of other random charms


A few interesting notes. First, when she was only level 3 or 4 I found a cap, put it on her head and said ewww, that's ugly. I took it off she's stuck to circlet types ever since. Second, while she's not untwinked, she is one of my vanilla chars and as such has a very limited item pool, this is the best gear I've got for her.

[Jaedhann]

Well, this is my olympian.

Matriarch Lucky
level 96(,5) pure blizzer

Made for running Mephy and tunnels. I think she made about 10k tunnels by now.

Skills, pure blizzard route, with one point in frozen armor.

Gear:
Tal's armour, belt and ammy.
Ptopas Harleys.
chance guards (40%)
wartravelers (50%)
two rare rings with various mods, most important +str. to wear
Spirit monarch.
Death fantom as weapon
Harmony bow on switch

about 1k life and 800 mana. One coldkiller with 38 life, one shimmering gc with 15% allres. and 27 to life, one gheeds. Various sc's with res and/or MF. Total MF 486%

Merc is wearing Eth. upped skulders, Eth. upped stealskull and Eth. 1.07 insight thresher. With his defiance aura he has 10k+ defence. And thanks to some jewels in the armors he has max res. He adds about 200%MF if he gets a kill in.

-Jae

p.s. I'm building a lucky_markII to overcome the need for strenght on the rings. She could wear two nagel's, so she will have 500%+ MF and more life.

[Jingizu]

When I decided to play with Baal this MFO, first I though I will level my hammerdin a bit, but Krovak, our team member from last MFO, went on holiday, so I borrowed his Infinity and played with my lightning sorc:

Name: Agony
Char: most beautiful from d2 womans (that means NO amazon!)
Lvl: 91-96

Skills:
charged bolt 20
lightning 20
chain lightning 20
nova 20
mastery 20
thunderstorm 1
teleport 1
static 1
warmth 1
frozen armor 1
unused 1

Stats:
str: 80
dex: 201 (max block)
vit: 234
ene: none

Equipment (I changed it a lot during MFO, trying to find most survivable setup):
HotO (40)
Skullders PTopaz
Shako PTopaz
Sanctuary tower shield
Magefist
Arach
War Traveller (49)
Wisp, SoJ, Mara's

Switch:
CtA (+1 BO)
Lidless Wall

Stash:
6 skillers (3 borrowed from sequana - thanks :flowers: )
Gheeds 134/38/15
several small charms adding missing resists, a little bit MF and life
tome of identify and tp

That gives me max block, 80 fcr, max resists. MF ~300%.
Life/mana with BO: 1300/some number I really don't care, I don't have mana problems.

Merc:
Infinity in 1.07 Tresher I think (I dont't remember, I've already sent it back to Krovak)
upped Shaftstop
Vampire gaze


My playstyle was... let's say not very good first, I died several times, on my first MFO day I played at p1-p3 and I died even on p1 once (that was extremely horrible and degrading experience), but after some time I started to be really good (sorry, I need some praise), I played on P8/P3 then without deaths and quite easily. In fact I realized that this sorc could be surely Baalrunner for high exp (after some minor changes).
In fact this sorc was started loooong time ago and was played by my girlfriend with me in MP until lvl 80+. Before MFO I leveled her to 91 because before that I had to wear rings for str (had only 60 str and couldn't use wartravs and skullders). And now she is my "biggest" char.

Next time I will play with my hammerdin, beware :evil:

[Corrupted]

Champion Noble
Level: 94

Stats: Screenshot (http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5549/screenshot003fs6.jpg)

[Cattleya]

Matriarch Deborah (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=552502)

Level 88 Blizz Sorc

Her Meph Setup:
Harlequin Crest (PTopaz)
Glacial Amulet of Luck (29MF)
Skulder's (PTopaz)
Chance Guards (40% MF)
Uped Goldwrap
War Travellers (30%/40%/45% MF — She upgraded a few times during the MFO. :grin: )
Naglering x2 (Both 30% MF — All those NM Andy runs had to have some advantage.)
Teleporting Switch: Suicide Branch and Lidless Wall
Killing Switch: Gull and Rhyme Bone Shield

Charms: Mostly MF and Mana charms, one charm of Balance

Total MF: 569%

If I can ever find an Occy, that will replace the Gull, but what I've got works for now. I could probably kill a bit faster if I left the "teleporting" switch up while killing him (for the extra +skills) but I found it was easier not to, since I could use the weapon switch to change from Teleport to Blizzard, cutting down on the "wrong hotkey" errors.

Merc kill MF: he didn't get the chance, but the Ist in his pole should count for 30% in case he managed to poke something to death by accident. And a few LI Lister kills.

Tactics: Waves at /P1, Baal at /P3. Infinity and lightning do the rest. Nearing the end of the competition, I got my average run time down to 3'10". If I were wise and S&E'd at the first sight of dolls, I might have hit 95.

Upd Kelpie Snare
Progression

The Moron had a lot of changes to his gear. He started off with my Moron-standard set up of Tals Mask, Duriels Shell and Insight. I switched to a Kelpie for Baal. The switching was annoying me, so I tried Reapers Toll on him for a while. Hated that; Baal still moved. Decided to keep the Kelpie on him all the time. I didn't require many pots after the BO boost.

I decided early on not to go for Rhyme/Ali Baba on switch rather than the CtA. I'm not a confident Baaler so I prefered the safety.

At the beginning of the MFO I had 8 squares free in the inventory plus the cube. By the end, I was running with just the cube space. I'm terrible for picking up stuff and I know it slows me down.

Most of the time I ran p1. Far too lazy to change the player settings. I experimented early on with p1/p8/p3 but the p8 was OK for wave 4/5 but a pain for the others. I decided quickness was better but regret not going p3 for Baal most of the time.

I knew I wouldn't have much time for the MFO between work and my sheer dislike of running. :grin: In the end, I actually put more effort into it than the other MFO's combined. Running alongside Mungo (who was in the Memph category) really helped; shouting find over to each other and bemoaning monster spawns made it more interesting.

[Mursilis]

Matriarch Malice the Meteorb (no the illiteration was not intentional :rolleyes: )

Level 89.9 (gained 1.9 levels during MFO)

Helm: Harelquin Crest
Armor: Skin of Vipermagi (pTopaz)
Weapon: Oculus
Shield: Spirit (28% FCR)
Belt: Goldwrap
Rings: 29% Nagelrings
Amulet: +3 Fire Skills
Gloves: Chance Guards (40% MF)
Boots: War Traveler (48% MF)
Switch: Gull Dagger and Mil's Orb

Helm and boots found during MFO. Shield, Oculus and Gheeds (39%MF) just before.

Frozen Orb: 20 (28)
Cold Mastery: 7 (15)
Static Field: 1 (9)
Fireball: 20 (32)
Meteor: 20 (32)
Fire Mastery: 20 (32)

Resistances
Fire: 12
Cold: 13
Lightning: 41
Poison: 50

Act II Holy Freeze Mercenary: Vampire Gaze, Kelpie Snare, Gemmed Griswold Heart(for max resistance)

426% MF when I remember to switch to Gull/Mil Orb before killing Mephisto.

Strategy: Let mercenary tank Mephisto while Malice statics him down to 1/2 life. Then fireball/meteor till finished. Problem is that each run requires 4-8 health potions for the mercenary to survive so a trip to Ormus is required each run.

She's one tough cookie. I've taken her out to the Pits, RoF and even CS, she can handle them all. Not the fastest MFer, but she knows a thing or two about survival. Gloves/boots are not the best, but better than chancies/war travs -- the little extra MF won't make much of a difference with diminishing returns.

Pindle Tactics: What tactics? Throw LF and pick up items :) Seriously, if Pindle wasn't dead after the first two javelins, it was because he was LI. Drop the decoy right in front of him, move past him and let the moron clean him up.

[krovak]

It's always nice to see others' favourite gear setup - it's a good occasion to learn something new:thumbsup:

@Jingizu: Why shako? Souls are easy with infinity/griffon's combo, while without griffon's they still have considerable light resistance. Have you S&Eed instead of clearing the throne room when souls were present?

@Jrlafrance: I am surprised you use CtA in combination with a HoZ. Is there any reason why you chose HoZ over spirit?

[LazySlothman]

Name: Victoria_Bitter
- 'Magic on Ice' (she was made in the cricket season of 2004 (january) when an Australian beer (Victoria Bitter) were running an awesome add campaign with the aformentioned tagline.. thinking of rebuilding a new blizzardess and this time use a premium beer name to match her more planned and perfected status)

level 93.6 -> 94.4

Pure Blizz Sorc, 1 in the first cold armour, static, teleport

I basically just left the gear she was wearing for MP Baaling on her and the merc and changed the charms..

Full Tals set with an Ist in the orb (slight regret.. yet that was done ages ago with my first MF character 'Scorch' who personalised it too)
helm and armour with Ptopaz's..
2x29% nagel's (found my first 30% one day after mfo finished hehe)
47% travs
magefist gloves (i think it was for a casting BP)
Ryme bone shield
perfect gheeds
originally the rest of her inventory was smfc's (7-5%) but after a big wednesday dry spell I chucked in approx 10+ small charms of inertia (not even sure if she ran faster (maybe a lil bit).. it was more a mental thing)
oh and i didnt have tome of TP but i kept a tome of ID's (which i normally wouldnt do)
harmony on switch..

558% MF - after charm switch approx 530%

merc had: insight, guill face, duress (as mentioned straight from MP baals)

All runs on players 1, very quick runs with the extra faster run equipment - if pindle wasnt CI and i was concentrating as soon as i click blizzard - splat - check loot - S&E.. a lot less than 20 seconds probably even less than 15 (fast computer, windowed mode so next to no load time).. If he was CI pretty much two blizzards and some GS and the merc would take him down in a few hits at the most aided by static and tk...
I guess everyone pretty much knows that whole last paragraph.. which is the beauty of running pindle, super easy (and yeah boring but I had only just come back from a break so generally still had the heart beating with anticipation whilst running just waiting for that uber item) you know that he WILL drop good stuff eventually, its just down to the speed of the runs and your luck on the point value of that good item thats just around the corner..
Anyway enough rambling from me :rolleyes:

Well, with Griffons it's faster, but you will loose MF, life and mana, I realized that Shako is much safer, and I haven't much items that gave me MF (only Shako, Skullders, boots, wisp and charms)...

[krovak]

You are right about the MF, but taking griffon's not only grants you killing power, but also some safety. With listed gear, this change would bring you from 80 to 105 FCR. I believe teleporting through WSK(if any) and clearing the throne would be much safer with this breakpoint reached.

Currently in the midst of a 500 run Pindle-Meph Loop (build army at Pindle, take him down, go get meph, pick up the good stuff, rinse and repeat).

she mostly uses a 2x ist ali baba for pindling and tunnels but for the recent mmo i knew id have to clear the tunnels faster so she borrowed a hoto from my hammerdin. she liked it so much she kept it for the meph mfo.

lawbringer in an eth balrog blade.

several years ago he killed a very nasty cold immune boss in the tunnels and at his feet dropped an azurewrath. it belonged to ulf after that. then came rwm...
--
his resists are all maxed
--
i recommend a barb merc with a sanctury aura for tunnels, pindle and meph running.

once meph is decrep'd he is a ***** cat.

several times he has tanked meph whilst cursed and again when meph picks up might from a boss pack Ulf almost never dies, providing i am watching with a heal pot.

sometimes i tele him away for a second to let the pot and his regen work.

my only gripe with him is in the tunnels he is often brave to the point of bravado, he could use a chill pill now and again.
--
tactics for meph... tele straight down the middle stopping just past the portal. Ulf runs forward to face meph who glides through my first blizzard to greet him. a few glacial spikes hit him as the decrep fires off and the next blizz or 2 kill him.
if meph stops on the steps i tele Ulf away so meph moves forward because for some reason if meph is standing on those steps the blizz seems to miss him and it takes much longer to kill him.
