Curse

Like Ripskin, I'll have to say challenge more than loot for this run. And I might even go normal/hard, as even the smallest mistake at certain places can cost you your life.

Moone · Feb 19, 2007, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Well its a bit challange and profit also, the fact is that you won t loose that much money, u usually get ur 1p with the graspings

The way to the Chaos Planes would get a normal from me, its mostly luck if you get through there, or not, depends on the spawns..

Another point is that if you meet Blacknesses in the Mountains than there might be 4 reasons:
1. You didn t let the first group go down and up again
2. You were to fast, so you met the Blacknesses at Pic9 or you were to slow
3. You took so much time that the Blacknesses from Pic 9 went back to the Gate to Chaos Planes, there you can still pass them, put regeneration up, vow and run through
4. Some group of Blacknesses is linked with a Dying that spawns random and they attack you ( happens rarely, but already happened to me )

Profit is quite decent in my opinion, well there is a big luck factor, golds don t drop often, but they might be pretty good, there are also many chest on the way ( 2-4 ) usually, also the number of the ectos variate

If you wanna make profit only then go for the bone pits + 1st group of the poolz, the challenge beginns with fighting the Blacknesses, its not easy though, but at the end of the pools there are just many many terrorwebs and very less Blacknesses ( the bridge at the bone pits might also be quite challanging if your new to this build)

btw: i did this more for the reason of taking the challange, not for making that much money( than i wouldn t have shared it :P)

If anyone get to clear the Poolz let me now plz, i m interested on your opinions how hard it is ( same for pits )
- with screenshot :P

Oh man im drunk of this carnaval in holland, but in 2 days im back on GW AND lvl my derv to lvl 20. guess you have to run past those blacknesses cause they have indirect fire (shock, wirlhwind)

Moone · Feb 19, 2007, 06:52 PM // 18:52

u can manage to past them without even aggroing them
( I hope I discribed it will enough how to run )

This looks like it'll be a lot of fun to try out, I like playing my dervish but she doesn't seem t o be wanted in most PUG's in the advanced areas. Any chance you'll be stirring up a video of this in action?

Anarion Silverhand · Feb 19, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

I guess I can help out making a video if needed.

Moone · Feb 19, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09

i hope you are on euro server then^^
I would be quite happy about anyone filming me^^

Evilsod · Feb 20, 2007, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Yeah i came across that mob that stops in front of the Chaos Planes exit...luckily i got through after only 1 Shock.

I messed up a bit though in the Bone Pits. The mobs patrolling the bridged area are extremely awkward... that and i didn't realise how much damage Bone Horrors did. Then when i tried to run i rubber banded back, to be stuck behind an enemy that wasn't even there when i ran! Started to really piss me off now...

I guess Dwaynas Grace would be the ideal scythe, i didn't seem too far off with an ebon 17% enchantments 1 i've modded.

Also, is health that high really necessary? I mean i can see how a sup wouldn't be very useful when running to places, but you can unequip it for that. Seemed to be a much better attributes mix at 15 Scythe (with a sup) and 12 Mysticism for the energy breakpoint and Mystic Vigours 6 health break.

I am indeed

I'll talk to you in-game about setting things up.

To answer Evilsod's question, high health is extremely useful, as you're living off your Victorious Sweeps against the Dead Collectors and Thresers, and it's useful to have high health when engaging them so you can afford to loose Mystic Regen, because you can keep yourself alive with just Victorious Sweep.

Evilsod · Feb 20, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Oh yeah... forgot about the health part of Victorious ^^

I guess that does help a fair bit...

Is it possible to kill 2 Charged Blackness at the same time? The constant Shock/Whirling spam is basically tearing me apart... Least a Dryder dropped me a glob before i was killed anyway. They didn't seem to want to split either.

max_rulez · Feb 20, 2007, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Awesome build its great. I always get stuck at a bit and its kinda hard to explain. So just wondering if you could gimme a demo run for some money. If possible contact me ig at darnius thakius.

Other than that Awesome build, well done for making a non smite soloer

PS your on euro server right?

its possible, but hard - they often don t attack both and its hard to find a working VoS rythem against 2 shocks

Tingi · Feb 20, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

very impressive...

and i'm not usually impressed :P

Evilsod · Feb 20, 2007, 08:19 PM // 20:19

Nah i didn't seem to have a problem avoiding the Shocks with VoS. It was mainly the Whirlwind spam. Constantly interrupting my Victorious Sweep and no real time to cast any useful enchantments before they'd spike me. Eventually just whittled my health down.

Moone · Feb 20, 2007, 08:45 PM // 20:45

Well then fight them seperated, sometimes it might happen, that both Blacknesses cast Whirlwinds when the other Blackness casts shock, so only 2 kd

I had a similar problem with W/Rt

There is a point where you can take a right turn as you head up towards twin serpents, I always found if you did you beat the charged blackness to the top.

you can activate the traps without getting damage. you have to run (with pious haste) straight to the bermoths and shortly before you reach them press x so that you run away into the opposite direction. then you should be able to pass them.

@moone: have u tried this build in fow yet? i guess u could also kill the skales at the beach.

Moone · Feb 26, 2007, 11:23 AM // 11:23

havent tried, but I think Grenth Balance > VoS

Anarion Silverhand · Feb 26, 2007, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Just a heads up, a video is being set up as we speak, and should be available for all to see in a little while.
