i would be happier if you take the bonecharmer CDR route, then complete the challenge  8)

that's fine and all but where's the boss pics? i thought that was what's required

On the first post it mentions it only is required when we hit Epic.

Also, I don't know what the CDR Bonecharmer is but eh whatever works is good ^^

Updated and well done.  :)

botebote77, it was changed partly to help save on bandwidth/disk space which screenshots can use up quickly and also because originally the challenge only required boss screenshots once you reached Epic and higher.

Leeroy Jenkins - Twinked L63 spellbreaker - Helos

Got my first close call in the swamps after Jotunheim. All was going well until an encounter with a plant hero. I didn't have time to take a pic, it was a sudden damage. Not sure what it was, my res were high enough. Apart from that, Land's end is a juicy zone for Xp.

just a small update

king goldtooth



temple of the hidden sun


eiko chan is now lvl 54.. last rebirth fountain is Glauberg



btw for those interested, just to be sure i tested if shield block procs with thrown weapons.. answer is yes
test is done using koderkrazy's show damade mod then having 1 archer satyr to hit me.. only 1 and should be archer so DA wouldnt matter..
with shield, it's easy to see some hits don't do damage.. and without shield, all attacks does damage

edit: and ensuring i don't have any CtaP

This time a small update. I have finished Ragnarok maybe 2-3 times so it is almost blind compared to the rest of the game :D Don't remember its bosses nor their skills so almost died 2 times. Once against some very strong skeletons on the snowing map at which we travel to Scandia and once against the boar boss some time later.

They almost killed me, later I saw that one of their skills is almost the same as the Yaoguai's kicking so it was enough to avoid it.

Here the battlefield after fighting the 3FPS Boss - took like 5 min to lure and kill everything.

Atleast got 3 new items today - a weapon, a shield and greaves. I think the thing I'm the most afraid of is losing FPS. The game have always liked losing frames no matter how strong pc but the 5th act is at another level :D I play on the minimum graphics but I think it doesn't matter if it is low or high quality, it loses frames the same so I instantly pause and run away :D

update for eiko-chan

i think i accidentally opened 1 orb on the ancient of the wild? quest and golden boar so they both show only 2 orbs.. but it's full xmax

ancient of the wild? (is that the correct name? the four ancients)



golden boar



the great shroom



mimer



nidhoggr



loki



surtr



i had a lot of crashes on act 5.. just crash to desktop without any error messages.. when i put the ichthian relic on that something, then the hundred mini undeads spawned, it just froze.. i just clicked and clicked and then after a while, all mobs dead.. it's ok in normal but what about epic and legendary? tsk

onto epic
satyr shaman boss?



the most unspent stat points i had was 44.. now it's just 5.. but eiko-chan looks better now :)



lvl 61.. helos.. epic

Leeroy Jenkins - Twinked L65 Spellbreaker - Rhakotis

Epic - act1 is the good time to make tests on build and gear. Therefore, i changed the setup so that i could pile up attack speed and wear the strange Nidbow. There was a thread here on the good use of this bow in a knife thrower rogue build. All was centered on the splash skill trigger of the bow by knives. With the spellbreaker i attempted to use it as a regular bow and was disappointed. Although the recharge skill is 0s, the chances to trigger the skill must be well below 1 over to 10 i guess. My attack speed was nearly 180% but my resistances were not good and monsters in xmax were rushing to me. The killing speed was correct but my DW-spellbreaker does the job better and is much more safe. Therefore i stopped the test. Hunting mastery is needed imo to make a good use of this bow.

update for eiko-chan:

ancient limos



alastor



undead tyrant



master automatoi



minotaur lord



telkine




eiko-chan is now lvl 64.. last rebirth fountain is rhakotis

against minotaur lord, i changed gear setup.. sacrificing elem resist in favor of high less damage from beastmen.. this greaves alone gives 50% less damage from beastmen.. scale of the black dragon gives an additional 25%

Spoiler for Hiden:

edit: arrggh stupid.. of the glade is just less damage from beasts.. not beastmen.. oh well  ;D

i think i'll take a short break from the challenge.. won't be too long though.. don't want to get too rusty
