TOPIC: Beneath Castle Altus - Saturday 3:48PM - 1 Open

I've got the 10th ticket to this run, got a moderately decent hardcore fighter build (running redoubt set). Not particularly comfortable at nightmare. Have to see if my build can hold up for it.

What's still open class wise? I don't want to drag down difficulty but i'm severely limited depending on what's open at hardcore/nightmare.

You should be fine for Nightmare if you've got the Reboubt set and an UR weapon I would think.

We currently have Bard, Rogue and *Fighter or Dwarven Fighter* open (if Kakitahkan chooses to play Rogue)

If you aren't comfortable with Nightmare we can roll down to Hardcore but I'm rocking a Druid build with +15 or so to healing and dual healing glasses so if people can hit the enemy I can keep them alive.

It'd probably be a good place to test out your build in a one off run?

Good idea to test a build, just don't want to take a known non nightmare ready build (ie mixed reds/greens if i have to play non fighter/pally/cleric).

UR weapon on my wish list from Santa this year i hope. Spent this year's budget finishing up redoubt set.

My dwarf fighter build for reference, anything else would be red or lower unless i outright borrow a complete build. I think i've got the ac for nightmare my to hit #'s are what's on the low side.

I can't comment on melee hit but I think you're fairly good at +10

If Kakitakhan is good with playing Rogue and you run Dwarf Fighter I think you would be fine for Nightmare.

FYI - the 2nd Trent is "Deron - Fighter" (but of course can be Dwarven Fighter if need be).

I will send a PM this weekend listing tokens you can borrow. I will put your character into the spreadsheet and see what I have that help with your ac attack damage or saves.

For starters I have a spare charm of heroism, scepter and orb of might and some others that may help.

Sounds like we are doing Nightmare, so I'll play bard (as long as you guys can pardon my horrid singing or dance moves if need be~).

Deciding between scroll slinging bard (need to borrow a token or two - lenses of sage speed to name one)
or 'other' bard builds (melee, defensive, etc..)

let me think about it, that is half the fun!


Will provide build sometime 'soon'.

I can provide a loan of the Widseth's for the run if you need

Here is the bard build v1.

only tokens i'm missing are the Viper Strike Belt & transmuting a Pharacus' Greater Cloak of Destiny. Attempting to locate a Viper Strike Belt and should have the cloak by TDC runs...

borrowing a couple of tokens for this build.

Ok so we are a few weeks out from TDC. Just want to see about getting all the builds setup.

According to my info our group is

Difficulty - NIGHTMARE

Arcanist Kolixela - Druid
Cenobian Kai - Monk
Edwin - Ranger
Mugsi - Paladin
Mugsi #2 - Unlisted
Mugsi #3 - Cleric
Trent - Barbarian
Deron - Dwarf Fighter
Kakitahan - Bard
OPEN SLOT

I need builds from Mugsi Trent and Deron.

Kakitahan and Matt have posted, just let me know if you have any changes.

I'll have to look up my Barbarian build, it's been a while.

But for Deron, this will be his first run. Does anyone have any good high level Dwarf Fighter builds?

If you do, please post them here or email them to trentemail at yahoo dot com - thanks!

Regret I must turn like the rogue and duck out of this run in search of other treasure. Good luck to rest of you and see others on different timeslots.
