Curse

Just got my SS ettin farmer build working right, thought I'd share a little video of it. Shouldn't take too long to download, ~2.12mb.

Taking down two Ettins:

Taking down two Tengu:

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing the attributes for all of us.

Well, I didn't want to give it all away for nothing, this is pretty lucrative farming with the way Superior Absorptions drop now. If you really want to know the attribute distribution I'm using you can probably figure it out in about 10 seconds.

Let's see, I'm using:
Life Siphon, Vampiric Gaze, Spiteful Spirit, Arcane Echo, Parasitic Bond, Desecrate Enchantments, Ilusion of Weakness, Physical Resistance

So what attribute do you think is maxed? Do you think I'm doing all the damage with life siphon and vampiric gaze? There are only 4 different attributes in those skills, I'm sure your smart enough to figure out where the points go.

Why don't you just nt be a smartass and post the Attributes?

B Ephekt · May 01, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

Nice, I usually do this as a 55 necro but this looks more fun. (the 55 thing gets boring fast) I LIKE the fact that you're making people THINK before using your build.

You can always tell the people who actually play a necro from those who only play builds they found on the internet.

I think more people should do this.

Guys, the attributes aren't hard to figure out... if you have any knowledge of N/Me, give it 5 seconds thought and you will understand.

Haha you made me laugh there for a sec, because a necro was my first character, and I do think and make my own builds. I also think that he should post the Attributes for the people that do just get builds off of the internet, though. I mean c'mon it's not that hard to think, but it's even easier if the poster would just say the attributes so you wouldnt have to think for yourself.

I don't want to support the people who just get builds off the internet. I would rather make them think at least a little bit about how the build works before trying to use it. I think that them thinking about the attribute distribution will actually help them understand why each skill is there and how to use it.

I put some work into figuring out which skills to use for this and how to use them, anyone who wants to try it can put some thought in as well

The meta-game is understanding skills and how they work together, then creating builds. To me, that in itself is a lot of fun. Granted, I've made some retarded builds before, but all the same.

I understood what this build was doing before I even saw the video, it's not that hard. I'm not certain I even have his exact attributes either, but after testing I found something that works for me. Maybe better, maybe worse, but it works and it wasn't a huge deal to figure it out on my own.

And if people can't download the video?

Slocketman · May 02, 2006, 03:13 AM // 03:13

Then they either suck at the intarweb or they have problems with FileFront. In which case they can get it here:

Solange · May 02, 2006, 04:05 AM // 04:05

^ And you figured out the 55 necro build all by yourself did you??

Right, you looked at the guide here or elsewhere like everyone else did

Ecksor · May 02, 2006, 04:15 AM // 04:15

lol once people figured out the 55 monk build they just implemented it to other classes. All classes can be 55 hp and live , except for warrior(not enough energy regen) oh and a person does not suck at the "intarweb" or w/e you called it, just because they cannot download something. i tried downloading your video, and filefront was not working for me

Did I say I did? Good job putting words in my mouth in an attempt to make a feeble point.

Hey! Don't whine, this was good build

What you do with the Tengus? How you can get past them?

yeah, personally I don't feel like downloading his video to check this out... I'd rather try it first hand.

necr0mancer · May 02, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

omg people... try this:

16 curse
10 soul reaping
4 blood
9 illusion

-_-

oh... and about the tengus... just kill them

edit: first drop was sup vigor :P

AscalonWarrior · May 02, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

How the heck you can kill tengus? Tengu Wild is using Conjure Phantasm --> I died in 20 secs

EDIT: killed them, then got mega lagg and ettins killed me

Slocketman · May 02, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

Tengu do hurt, you need to make sure that you get your first SS on the Tengu Wild, and then remember that if he's in range now he will interrupt your next spell that takes more than a second. Personally I just cast Life Siphon on one of them now, which he cancels with Cry. Then cast SS on the Tengu Scout, and put Life Siphon on the scout as well. Put Parasitic Bond on the Wild before he dies to get some health back while you wait for the Scout to die.

(EDIT)
Real quick vid to show you what I'm talking about. I could've done this better, but at least I didn't die ;-)

Nice, I should use that distribution..... For some reason I thought I had to have Blood at 9 to get Life Siphon to 2 regen >_<
