[Tournament] The first and probably only truly untwinked tournament

**Grisu** · 01-06-2012, 20:29

Congrats on finishing Normal first, Horobi! I barely managed to play the last few days, that's why I'm still at the beginning of Act II Normal with Sally. But I like the DH - much more my type of character than Witch Doctor.

Good luck for NM!

Died because my router restarted midgame...Guess I have to start over again. A monk again this time. She is called Merope.

I'm very sorry to hear it Griso :( But, good luck with your next char. Monks Rule !

Quick update once again. Mary made it past Act 2, but not without skipping her first bosspack. I cant remember their affixes, only that they were dune dervishes.

There were some sufficiently nasty packs as well. Personally, I find Fire Chains + Anything almost reason enough to run away, but Teleport is always a nice addition to that. Ah well, in any case, the fun stuff is starting to appear.

Thankfully, I've at least gotten my build to a place I'm very comfortable with, ( http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#adYiQg!ZXY!abaZba ). If I make it to 55 I might switch my blind rune to Faith in The Light. Also Boooh on Blizz for not updating their skill planner. Mantra Rune is now 70 or so Life on Hit.

Next Up: Azmodan, or at least, hopefully :P

Well, Azmodan was killed, as was diablo. But I'm afraid to say the skeleton king was not.

A group of burrowing scavengers with Inv minions electrified vortex did me in. So, this happened : http://i.imgur.com/K7mh9.jpg . Which means the end of Mary. :(

I will be back, but not sure as what yet.

Sorry to hear that, Horobi! A1 Hell - quite the run there! Hope you have better luck next time!

Merope defeated the Siege Beast in Normal and found a cool legendary shortly after, Odyn Son, which I'm currently using at level 30. Somehow, my HC Monk seems to be more difficult than my SC one, but maybe that's just because I care more if I die...

I decided to give my SC WD a break and start on a HC career with another WD. I did die quite a lot in SC but hopefully all wasn't in vain and I did learn a couple survival tricks =).

So Envy the female WD enters the tourney. She just rescued Cain at lvl5. She started with a lucky find, the named blue item Griswold's Worn Edge. Its not super but quite better than all others she found along the way and it was a nice surprise to find it for the first time.

Just started my first HC character, so I figure why not join this tourny. He's current resting in New Tristram after having killed the SK. The king took quite a while to kill, mostly because I was being super cautious about dying and haven't figure out how to properly dispose of large numbers of weak characters yet.

Just killed Belial for the first time. That was a battle I was afraid of but went pretty smoothly. I was at lvl25, 2.2k HP and about 180 DPS when I killed him. I am looking forward to lvl 30 so that I can get spirit vessel passive and another chance when killed =).

During my SC play, I was trying to stash lots of crap to twink my other chars at various levels. Now that I am playing self-found in HC, it feels great to be able to sell everything =).
