Curse

I really don't think its worth the trouble to farm the imps for their IDSes... I mean, even if you do get an IDS, the other loot they drop sucks, and you probably won't find a buyer for the IDS even IF you get one.

he gots a point

Ima Hob0 · Sep 09, 2006, 02:28 AM // 02:28

i dont think he does. lots of people will still buy IDS's, and also, maybe some people want to do this run just to have one. i know i do

Ima Hob0 · Sep 09, 2006, 04:28 AM // 04:28

Can someone please post a video of this? It was fricking near impossible to get to the ice imps, also, avicaras wouldnt stop chasing me for half the fricking map, then, the ice imps werent hitting 0's like i thought they might as posted by someone on page 1, i forgot the name, but they didnt, and i was nearly dead from those fricking avicara. Area net hates my guts, i hate them so much, that i would tell them to their faces, fix these bad spawns ya stinking morons, and on top of it all, i spent valuable money to be used on my more noobish characters, but now its gone, and im not very good at earning money. So can someone please post a video of a succesful trip? including the run, and the fight. if there is a video posted, can someone direct me to the page?

PS: Screw u Area Net.

Impossible to get to Mineral Springs!!!!

W/e, IDS farming is antiquated. Not enough cash for the time.

Anarion Silverhand · Sep 30, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

Yea, if you can't make it to Mineral Springs, this run is not for you.

I have'nt done one of these runs in a long time but I'll hazzard a guess for you as to why you're taking more damage.

Anet nerfed the global defense bonus you got from having just one piece of Knights armor, so instead of -2+-3 (sup rune) you're getting less damage reduction. As small as this is it did add up.

Also I bet that the current people having issues with this run have lower AL then the OP via his items/armor.

Maybe if you got a suit of the AL100 armor and a sup asorb rune +-3 shield while hexxed you'd be fine, but your strength would need to be 13 to not lose out.

Kintaro Kinslayer · Oct 06, 2006, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Thx for the heads up - Im off to buy 100AL armour - if this dont work im quitting.
Id like to see one of the pro's try the run again just so as i know when to wave the white flag.

Kintaro Kinslayer · Oct 06, 2006, 10:45 PM // 22:45

WAVES the WHITE FLAG

Thanas · Oct 06, 2006, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Errm armour change means that absorption on shield only applies to phys dmg. This post was probably started before the shield mod updates. Also I've never gone to ice cave without watch yourself to cover heal sig. I also tend to use the vim build.

pegasux · Oct 17, 2006, 01:22 PM // 13:22

i have the same prob with the dmg...it's the ab's nerf that has gotten us. we used to have -3 abs rune global, -1 knights global, -2 and -3 shield global. that's a full -9 dmg that was taken away =(.

Does the absorption bonus still work at all against elemental damage?

By the way, if I had a lot of ice imps to fight the first thing I'd think of is Stoneflesh Aura. It should reduce both Malestrom and wand attack damage down to zero. The rest of your build determines whether any Mind Freeze damage gets through.

Kindle Arrows damage is reduced to zero as well, even for non-godly levels of Earth Magic.

That said, finding the energy would be problematic. A Zealous Weapon might be a big help ...

Stoneflesh Aura wouldnt work, as it has a 2 sec cast time and maelstrom interrupts all casting, so it wouldn't get through.

ok yea this is all a nice little fairytale till the big RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing nerf came and changed a.i. now avicara giles and wise FOLLOW u TO the imps regardless of speed effects or terrain. giles strip all enchants so 55 is done, wise hit ineptidue for war 150 dmg + blind, gg. id like to see one of u do a complete run. rofl cuz u cant. ive tried. ign = frenzied killer, nock urself out

Stank Tank · Nov 26, 2006, 05:05 PM // 17:05

I used to do this alot after the armor nerf. Sentinel's armor and a zealous hilt, pull the golems and kill em first. If the Avicaras chase you now, just clear way to cave with heroes/henchies then park em and it should still be very doable.
