Actually, as far as I’m concerned, you could have the Herald that the team paladin is currently using. Unless other folks play him differently than I do, all he ever uses it for is to prebuff his Holy Shield (even without prebuffing, it’s still enough for max blocking). And what’re the automods on your ethereal protector shield? If it’s decent, you definitely want to save it for Exile: If not for yourself, then it should still bring in a very nice trade value. Might be enough to earn you that Chains of Honor you want (depending on how close you are right now, of course…).
If you want MF, then you could put a topaz in any armor at all (well, anything non-runeword). And you could get a 3topaz helm or a Tarnhelm or Stealskull without giving up much, either, for three times as much MF as you’re getting from that Goldskin.
Also be advised that Conviction completely maxes out at level 25, so if that’s not enough, it’s not going to be. I presume that you have 20 “real” points in it?
No posts in 4 days? What’s happening to us? Are we just too busy playing the game?
I have some questions that I was wondering, first, I’ve been trying to level my might merc on my zon, he’s level 57 now, and my zon is 71. I’ve been leving him in act 3 nightmare, mainly the spider forest so far. Is it better to level him somewhere he can make all the kills without dieing, or somewhere I can kill more monsters myself? How much experiance does he get when he makes the kill, or when I make the kill?
Also, do we have an extra Tal Rasha’s armor around anywhere? My zon already has the helm and belt, and she could really use the mf. Do we have an extra burizan (sp?) that she could use in hell?
I currently have 6 imdue quests that I haven’t used, along with 4 socket quests. If anyone would like me to imdue something for them let me know, otherwise, what is a good item to imdue? And what level should I imdue at?
I am still looking for a 3 socket phase blade so I can make myself a crescent moon weapon. Once I get the weapon, I will also need the runes to make it, I know we have plenty of Shaels and Tir (I know I’ve put acouple of each on the rune mule), but do we have a Um rune I could borrow from someone? I don’t think I saw one on the mule.
If you can handle soloing NM Baal runs (bonus points if others are in the game doing something else), do those. Just keep money around for when the merc gets wasted by IM.
I don’t know where our one buriza is or who’s using it. If nobody is, have at it. As for Tal’s armor … one does not have an extra of those unless one is about 5X as rich as we are.
In other news, the account sd-team6 now contains class mules. That is to say, one mule for each class, with class-specific items on it. For instance, the barbarian mule has barb-only helms, echo weapons, Immortal King set pieces, and our Heart Carvers. punha and Who_me?, did we finish reorganizing the mules yet?
Also, a question: How does upgrading a unique item affect the level requirement? More specifically, what would the level requirement on a War Club Bonesnap be? The normal version of the weapon is 24, and War Clubs have a base of 25.
Also, Hirka, if we don’t have a spare Buriza, I know we do have some Kukos, some Witchwilds, and at least one each Cliffkiller, Goldstrike Arch, Widowmaker, and Blood Raven’s Charge. You’re free to have any of those, too.
Whenever we get around to mulerunning again, I have 2 zons to get us through norm and nm, one for each. I have a 42 bowazon for normal and a 76 javazon for NM. I figure this way we’ll have a second rusher in NM with the javazon and she can also help the rusher in hell or I can just bring in my barb or necro and help with one of them.
OK, then, that’s consistent with what I found. Bonesnap is 24, but war clubs in general are 25, so if I’m understanding you correctly, 25 is the level to use. And an upgraded Bonesnap is, indeed, level 30 (I went ahead and tried it). Also, my old paladin used an upgraded Boneflesh, which went from 26 to 31 (ordinary Templar Coats are 25, so the Boneflesh level was relevant).
May I add, by the way, that an upgraded Bonesnap is an awful lot of hitting power for a level 30 char: It does in the neighborhood of 200-300 damage, more to undead, plus crushing blow and resistances. I imagine that it’ll start feeling inadequate when I’m still using it at level 75, but for now, it’s more than enough.
Thanks for the formulae, Talic (any relation to Madawc, btw?).
So, it turns out that the person who started this thread has now confessed to multiple identities.
The consequence is that this thread is now CLOSED.
One of the consequences of a very long thread is that I can’t split off the offending posts. Live and learn. It means that excessively long threads will not be permitted in the future.
Meanwhile, all posts by Madawc and Talic will be deleted.
Does this cause some confusion for someone reading the back threads? Yes. Whose fault is that? Madawc and Talic. If/when that jerk next tries to appear, I trust the rest of you will make him very uncomfortable… and the sure knowledge that whatever he posts will be deleted.
