I have all 10 tickets and am looking for more players; post here with class preferences if you'd like to join! Cost is $128 each.

This will be an Epic difficulty run with COMBAT path choices.

1. David Zych: Cleric (CoA x8, CoS x5, HHL x2)
2. Zinniz: Barbarian {paid}
3. Alex: Monk {paid:Zinniz}
4. Dave G: Elf/Wizard (CoA x2, CoAS x2, HHL x2) {paid}
5. Picc: Rogue (CoA, CoAS, HHL) {paid}
6. Picc+1: Bard (CoA, CoAS, HHL) {paid:Picc}
7. Picc+2: Dwarf (CoA, CoAS, HHL) {paid:Picc}

10. LentSautePan: Fighter {paid}

Party synergy totals (so far): CoA x10+, CoAS x8 + CoS x2+, HHL x9

Epic-curious players welcome: if you're not sure your Nightmare build can handle Epic but want to find out, come join us!

• You don't necessarily need legendaries to play Epic; aside from CoA I didn't own any when I started.
• What you do need is enough max HP to not die before we can get around to healing you, and (for sliding classes) enough +hit for monster ACs in the 30-40 range.
• You can generally plan on +4 bardsong and +2 prayer, so e.g. base +18 with +6 buffs will hit AC 40 on a natural 16 slide. Part of playing Epic is that it's okay to miss sometimes!
• High saves (20+) are good too, but another part of playing Epic is that it's okay to fail saves sometimes. And if we die in room 7 but have a lot of fun, that's okay too!

bump!

I'll join as Druid or Paladin - CoAx3, CoASx2, CoSx2, HHLx2

bump!

Hooray, we have a full party!

Dave G: both Wizards are still available, take your pick
Bryan: both Druid and Paladin are still available, take your pick

Our Fighter is a friend of a friend who has never played TD before (hooray and welcome!), so I'm putting together a loaner build for him.

It's in pretty decent shape now (see below), but could be further improved if by chance anybody happens to have spares of the following to lend:

- Eldritch Bo4W and/or Skull (to go with my extra Kilt)
- failing that, Totem of Heroism
- a better neck item (Viv's, AoNM, Folkvangr, Valhalla, Stu-pendous)
- Charm of Glory
- Lucky Charm
- Safehold + useful minions to boost melee and/or saves

Notes: I'm intentionally building all-out melee and ignoring ranged attack stats; DK Cloak gives one cheat per room, and I carry a Potion of Leaping Attack for emergencies (i.e. if we encounter a room that would be zero fun for him to play otherwise). At the moment I'm also ignoring AC because Defender set doesn't reach high enough to make much difference on Epic, and my other DK pieces (armor/helm/shield/gauntlets) are already on my Cleric build, but I'm happy to reconsider that if somebody has fancy armor to lend.

Whether you have any of these things or not, thanks in advance for helping welcome a new player and show him a good time!
