@ Xei Win Toh

Don't hold too high hopes, as it will take time before we get through NM.

@ Bard

Actually, I have a few revived succubi there to cheer up my day.

In any case, the only thing my necromancer has to do anymore is to max out his summoning skills. Skeletons first, 10 points to mages, then maxing mastery. I have already enough points in curses and I do not really need bone spells as you can whack down the bosses.

 

@Wirhe: what curses are you specialising in? With myself using LF and Apeman using FA, would Lower Resists be useful? Another one to consider is lifetap.

As we are working closely as a team, we need to consider our Mercs. Currently I have a Barb Merc, but plan to change this in A2 NM (or possibly an A1 merc). I would think either a Cold or Might merc would be best for myself, same for Ape. Unless he's staying with his current merc. Wirhe, you should probably consider going for an A2 combat merc, with all your minions the Thorns effect could work out really sweet - with the monsters killing themselves for us.

I take it from your previous responses that you aren't interested in any of the gear I am offering. I will pass it on or get rid of it before Friday (so if you do want something let me know ASAP) as I will need the room for all the items we will find next session. Imagine if I also had some MF gear

 

Actually I kinda lost my merc during the sessions and he is level 18 or such, so I'll be getting a new one in act 2 NM, I'm thinking blessed aim for extra hits.

No gear needed so far and we'll pick enough up along the way I reckon.

 

Bard, I won't 'specialize' to them; one point plus whatever my stuff grants is enough. I'll be spending those points to summons.

For some reason my merc no longer gained levels, so she still was level 8 when we reached Diablo... Have to hire a new one in act 1, so save some nice bow for her.

 

Xei is lvl 77 and waiting for hell (and possibly a boot/belt change). She kinda rocks.

Should I try to get another char to your field by tonight?

 

Naa; you can twink as much as you want at the later difficulty, but not before. You'd better hope we are about the same level when we complete NM...

Take this as a pessimistic POV.

 

@Apeman: I think you gear is better anyway - it's Sigon's isn't it

The mercs in A2 NM are Cold, Thorns or Might only. A2 Norm/Hell are blessed aim, but you shouldn'y need this as you should be able to hit anyway. I have gone for an A2 cold merc, so might I recommend an A2 might merc?

@Wirhe: yeah, I have a nice bow available for her. Do A1 mercs benefit from +1 Amazon skills, or is it just +1 Skills? You might find that an A2 Thorns merc is better.

The reason the mercs are getting so out of step is because we are advancing quickly through the game and their levels are too out of step with the monsters we are fighting.

I would recommend, that after awhile we go back and level-up the mercs at an appropriate point in the game. A2 Arcane Sanctuary for example.

[edit]
I'm thinking about building a new Barb soon. My current one had died way too much for my liking - and my Zon tends to tank better. I am thinking of an old fashioned Iron Barb, or perhaps a 1.10 version of it

 

@Wirhe: I don't follow your meaning.

@Bard: Always more chars, eh... Drop me a PM or whisper if you want a companion (I do ).

 

You guys should move to USeast, so you can play with me.

 

Why not do it otherway around? Instead the 3-4 of us moving there, you (1) move to Europe.

Finally got a new merc for myself: cold arrows shooting rogue. Also, is 20 the max amount of points you can allocate to skills or do the items take it past that point?

 

@ Wirhe

Yeah, maximum skill points you can put in is 20, you can't put any more in after you reach 20. Only items allow you to take it past 20.

Good luck with your adventures. Good to see the Fellowhip of SP (nearly) back in one piece again.

 

Because I dont feel like re earning my measy gear. Besides half the reason I play is for dueling, and my dueling characters are already made. :-D

 

I and Bard played a bit this Sunday, as Apeman didn't show up. Just the sewers of act 2 (optional quest), two waypoints, and some exp from the Halls of the Dead until Battle.net crashed both of us offline. The next session is still pretty open, as I have been thinking of either Wednesday or Friday. Yay or nay?

 

Sorry I couldn't be there without letting you guy know. Something important came up just before the session. I'll catch up and for me it's a go on wednesday.

 

Good game tonight. Bad lag at the end. So bad that I got thrown out of the game and the program crashed

Weds and Fri are both good for me.

 

Okay, schelude goes like this:

Wed: Arcane Sanctuary wp.
Fri: Act 2 end and four first wp's in act 3.
Sat: Kurast, the High Council, and the next wp.
Sun: End of act 2 and the last wp (before Diablo).

Try to tell now if we should move some of those days.

 

All good for me

I am getting withdrawal symptoms though

 

@ Bard

So am I, and I'm only playing single player!

 

hehe.

It is so addictive this game. I've got 3 characters on the go now.

1. Barb - high level in Hell
2. Javazon - for playing with SP group
3. Burizon - just building for extra fun

oh, what else can I build next ...

 

I'm sorry that I have to say this guys but I'm afraid the followship of SP will have to do without me.

Work has been swarming up to me and I can't rightly say that I'll make the sessions everytime. Weekdays are no good for me anymore (Which are my frequent evening gaming days) and in the weekend I always put RL up front and am mostly booked full.

It's been a blast while it lasted, enjoy and beat the big D in hell for me
