Mini-MFO XI (Say MOOOOO)

Aren't rules 6.1 and 10 in conflict with each other? If we can't kill the King, how could his items be the tie-breaker?

EDIT: BTW, I'm in, not sure which character I'll use just yet though.

The cow king set items can be dropped by any cow.

I've decided to try something new (for myself, others swear by it) and run a blizz sorc.

So IceMistress, lvl 92 pure blizz sorc will be on duty again.

Sorry, I misread the rule. I thought you meant items dropped by the cow king.

I think it would read better with the word "set" in there. No problem though, I understand now!

I'll give this a go, although i might not get too much play time :undecided:

Ill be entering a pure blizz sorc lvl 90 "Ice_Cold"
Not sure yet on the MF

I'm afraid we'll all get schooled by the Maidens-Of-The-Sparking-Stick but I'll join too, since cow running might net me some roonz/socketables/a level.

The only Hell cow runner available to me is Olena the Meteorb (edit: she's level 89). I've coded an MF pareto front optimization routine that belched out the following gear combo:

Code:

Gear            | FCR | MF  | Skill |
----------------+-----+-----+-------|
Shako		|     | 74  |   2   |
Tal's trinket   |     |     |   2   |
Suicide branch  | 50  |     |   1   |
Skullder's      |     | 111 |   1   |
Visceratuant    |     |     |   1   |
Chance Guards   |     | 38  |       |
SoJ             |     |     |   1   |
FoF ring        |     | 37  |       |
Arachnid Mesh   | 20  |     |   1   |
Charms		|     | 48  |       |
----------------+-----+-----+-------+
Total           | 70  | 308 |   9   |
----------------+-----+-----+-------+

Merc:

Stealskull 50% MF
'Treachery' Wire fleece (45% IAS! Burger time!)
Reaper's Toll

J/k about the optimization routine, I'm too lazy for that kind of stuff. I just figured out that this would be a nice MF/speed compromise.

Also since your spells are timered isn't it better to use suicide branch on switch only for teleproting? And Occy in the main - killing slot.
Also I wouldn't like to stand near a CELE boss when it dies, your resistances seems to be week.

**AJK** · 15-03-2006, 11:18

Of course I'll be extra-super-duper careful near any LE boss. I've picked the suicide branch because:
- +1 skills for extra power (I could use wizardspike instead to pimp my resists)
- Haven't got an oculus:cry: (my gear might seem to indicate that I do)
- Would use Tal's orb, but only in conjunction with the full set. I lack Tal's plate :cry:
- I really enjoy spamming fireballs, so hitting 63% FCR would be really nice.

I hope I didn't make you weep with my :cry:'s

Edit: Maybe I'll start an ISO thread in the SPTF. I'll keep y'all updated if something changes in my setup.
