I was trying to die to the scimitar (for my lamest HC death ever), but the Tomb Reaver got me instead...
When I was a b.net kiddie I remember being rushed once on hardcore, my friend who was very experienced was also very carefull, making sure I was in safe spots, no monsters would harm me, etc.Originally Posted by EmperorMoo
Well he had made a road for me and I remember that I played it like softcore, not really thinking about what I did, somewhere along the way he suddenly saw the following message:
<Insert forgotten name> was slain by a trap
Or something like that, don't really remember, oh man he got mad at me, and it was actually him doing me a favor, but I follow, I mean we had gotten to some place in hell at that time IIRC, though it's very vague by now.
I was looking through my characters and realized that I never seriously played a WW barb. Now you cant call yourself a diablo 2 player unless youve played a ww barb so I guess I have to do it. This tournament complements the simplified playstyle of the WW barb enough for me to try it. Ill update whenever I get through act 1 (I hate act1normal)

GudrunII will hopefully get a bit further...
I think you made a mistake to place GudrunII on both lists, where it sohuld probably have been Gudrun on the lower list and not GudrunII
R.I.P. to the fallen
the pace is a little bit slower in classic, but i like it. Mercs are reduced to mere sidekicks and in the end it all depends on your char. It takes the desert merc ages to kill anything on P5 even with support of concentration aura. The damage output of blessed hammer is slowly increasing (and so is my mana-potion addiction).
@ EmperorMoo: I renamed GudrunII in the "deeds table" to Gudrun. I hope GudrunII is still alive and killing.

Bump
So how is everyone doing?
Team 1.00 is still on a break here, though I suppose, unless 1.13 comes out, that we'll continue in between now and the next 2 months.
I've got caught up in playing WCIII recently, as I've only played through that game once before. Probably start up my character soon though, so I don't burn out on WCIII before I finish (like last time).

When I started the game, the first thing I did was hit /p 8 lol...
So far so good, savin' my skill points for when I get to some higher levels, although it may take a while to get up there... I will get some more playtime tomorrow though.
So apparently there wasn't all that much interest, since I had to go back to page 11 to find this.
Either way decided to finally take Mirax for a spin. She didn't have too much of an issue with the first act. Started off whacking everything in sight, then switched over to a single point Fire bolt after finding a staff that gave +3 to that skill.
This worked well until level 12 when Fireball became available, and then Mirax simply mowed everything down. She does drink mana pots on a constant basis. I'm looking at getting an IV setup for her.
As expected, her rogue mercenary was pretty much useless. She did an ok job as a distraction, but not able to significantly damage even a Fallen. What I didn't realize at first was that in Classic one is not able to give potions to the mercenary. So Mirax was happily drinking potions while the merc died constantly. Since I normally don't play with the DII music on, it took quite a while to figure out that Mirax was using the potion and not the mercenary. This will definitely be an issue later on.
Another thing that came as a suprise, no weapon switch. Not that this is such a huge issue, but I normally like to have a weapon with the plus Static Field mod on it to increase range when fighting bosses. Apparently going to have to do without this time around.
Also haven't found a single orb yet. Don't know if that's a Classic issue or just my bad luck.
