Yes, give me the details when you start again so I can add it to the leaderboard TheBonobo4.  The more the merrier as they say.
If I do start again. It might be awhile. But I'm pretty sure I had sweet items like teucers bow. :)

Side note, I miss my Throwing Knife penetration chance  :'(


but the rebalance is needed.. throwing knife has been buffed enough.. we don't need another buff or we'll get those broken OP toons again

Honestly, I just want some form of wave-like AoE. Gas Bomb is all that's left, and the projectile can pass clear over the heads of incoming hordes.



Twinkle is level 24, halfway through the Minoan Labyrinth, very twinked (I think only 2 of her items are self-found so far) and playing AE:R

Swapped all points into Traps, leaving 1 in Envenom, 1 in Nightshade for the fun of it. Traps are maxed, working on Warfare, War Horn, and Battle Standard now at level 31, Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Fun fact, using the version of the mod found on Steam Workshop, I was in fact able to finish the Sphinx quest with all multiplied statues and shrines.

Whoops, forgot to screenshot Aktaios :|

I think it's in the AE version of the mod period no matter which one you use.  Iirc there was a discussion about this on TQ.net pointing that out, but defboy99 also pointed out that although they'd sort of fixed the "Protect the Flag" side quest in Act 4 as well (which you had to switch back to normal game to complete), some foes could still spawn in unreachable areas unless you're a ranged/caster toon.

Even my ranger had to complete that quest on normal I believe. That and the honour guards I believe.

So I took a break from the other one, and started ThirdDegree, who was initially meant to be just an attempt at finishing Normal with the Freddy Krueger build, but started Xmax and will officially put her ticket in for this challenge, since she just got past Triton's Ridge, and is moving onto the Minos Labyrinth, without any deaths!
Have to say, the real difference this time trying it, is a single point in Distortion Field, it gives me 8 seconds of basically immortality since the trash hordes cant really get past the flat absorption protection. 8 seconds is long enough to have maxed ToW sprint in and level the field, and using 1-0-12 Distortion Wave clears the stronger heroes in 1-2 hits. (Shadowmaw was 4 or 5, i dont remember)
Level 24 and ready to push onward!

Oh and very twinked, but only the Skyfire Pendant is really abnormal. The rest were just Tainted/Poisonous rings that made early levels faster, and self-found ____ of Recovery items.

Hello guys, i wanted to ask if i can add my runesmith into this challenge, i've played through x max until now, but i wasnt aware of this topic so the only bosses i have recorded are the mage in act 1, the huge yeti and the peng boss in the wall. Also wanted to ask what is an accomplished hero?
Corsair Carbide Air 540 - Asus Maximus VI Hero - Pentium G3258 5Ghz - Thermalright TS 140 Power - Samsung EVO 850 250GB - Corsair Dual Airflow Fan - Corsair Vengeance 8gb - Nvidia GTX 750Ti.

did it pre-AE, re-ran it but failed horribly on AE. Going to run them and park them at Legendary, while I farm out Ragnarok Uniques. Spotted out interesting gear options that addresses certain weaknesses of my previous gear setup.

We had problems exceeding our limits on the free hosting so we've switched to a paid one.  That was why it was down for a few days.

Updated and well done as usual gasconron.  :)
