The quest for level 99- progress thread

[grogs]

Actually, if I run 11 hours a day, according to the calculator I can be 99 in 3 weeks... :shocked: so I'm gonna try to manage it by September!

iirc, it took me just on 5 months from 98 - 99. I played pretty solidly, about 4 hours a day weeknights and 8ish weekends. Then again I did die 4 times in that level..... something you don't have the luxury of doing:cool:

Looking forward to you being the first to get a 99 HC char!!!!!!!!

@jjscud, that was a good little struggle there for a while, I always thought it a shame you didn't keep going, as it was that competitive motivation that was lacking in my run (I just kept going because I was stubborn, but I didn't enjoy it much after you dropped out).

11 hours a day, and this being summer

As if I didn't play more than 12 hours a day all year before I quit WoW :rolleyes:

@jjscud , could you please post your setup for your amazon

[jjscud]

Ok, here's my gear, its a bit odd but it works quite well. Basically I have an offensive switch and a defensive switch.

Helm: Shako (-5/+4 lit res jewel)
Armor: Tals Armor (ias/lit res jewel)
Gloves: Lancers gauntlets of Alacicity (sp??)
boots: Silkweave
belt: TGods/Razortail
Amulet: Mara's (27%)
Ring 1: Ravenfrost
Ring 2: rare (6%ml, 14%fire res, 27% Lit res, 24% Poison res)

Defensive switch:
Demon's Arch
Stormshield (Um'ed)

Offensive switch:
Titan's (up'ed, 199 ED)
Trollnest (2x ias jewel, 5/5 lit facet)

Charms:
3x Harpoonist of Inertia
3x Harpoonist of Vita
2x Harpooist of Balance
5x Shimmering SC
11% poison res SC
11% fire res all CS
(several of the SC also have life)


I use the defensive switch down until I clear the throne room (Demon's Arch is great for Gloams) then I switch to the offensive setup and quickly replace the TGods with the Razortail.

Also that is how my gear stands as of my last run, I just tradeed for a nice 3os Head Hunters Glory that will give me the ability to max my resists in the offensive setup. I will probably put CtA on switch if I do that.

@corrupted: I just realized, I never use Stormshield while fighting the minions so I change what I said yesterday, I don't think its really all that important.

One last question i think :rolleyes:

I assume you run there on players 1 , do you do the first 2 waves on p1 also ?

[jjscud]

Definately run there on p1, but I do all waves on p8. Everything dies to lightning except when Bartuc and Lister spawn with specific mods. I still kill Bartuc when he's LI but I park Lister if he's LI.
