I'll roll out a hammerdin for group two. Have to get a new xpac cd though for some reason the old one i have is not working. I saw one at a gaming store for like 15 bucks. Just post the time and place we are meeting and I am in.

Jay

Tree said he's going to play in group 2 to be with his lover, dacy.

Ok, I've got D2 installed again and I'm ready to go.

If Insomniac is going to make a javazon, then I'm not quite sure what I'm going to make. Maybe a trapsin? I'm just trying to plug any empty holes the group might have

ill be a necro with thorns merc, ty for making my life easier in deciding!

I guess if you're going to go conc, I'll go for the resists aura, because we will definitely need it.

If tree is playing in group 2, I'll make a necro. I never really liked assassins

*ActWithViolence MightedPute most likely a paladin or what ever we need

Someone's gotta get the bump for gheki (bobdoleporn)- he's been with us for the last few runs as a pally. Everyone but pressure and strife have been with us before. One of you guys will need to move to the 2nd group =(

1. Sully - csullivan - cold/tele sorc
2. Acxel - acxel - hammerdin/concentration
3. maximusdm - maximusdm - leap/bo barb
4. maximus`s friend - alejandro1p - wind? druid
5. insomniac - indo - javazon
6. Mainer - Mainer[GoGo] - summoner necro
7. Gheki (bobdoleporn)- ??? - ???

Strife - xstrifex - hammerdin/fanatacism and/or salvation?
pressure - DuckManParkey - fire sorc

If acx does conc, does that leave pally #2 to use fanat/salvation?

Is everyone still good to go?

Making a seperate thread for group 2, post if you are still in.

I got dibs on the A team, and I will go salvation if acx goes conc.

acc is Gheki_Man what channel we meeeting in? dzone?

yes channel dzone

group 2 has to watch out: tree dies alot

1. Sully - csullivan - cold/tele sorc
2. Acxel - acxel - hammerdin/concentration
3. maximusdm - maximusdm - leap/bo barb
4. alejandro1p - fobaby - wind? druid
5. insomniac - indo - javazon
6. Mainer - Mainer[GoGo] - summoner necro
7. Gheki (bobdoleporn)- ??? - ???

Strife - xstrifex - hammerdin/fanatacism and/or salvation?

If acx does conc, does that leave pally #2 to use fanat/salvation?

Is everyone still good to go?

Ok first, Alejandro1p doesn't want to play a druid. He wants to play a Hammerdin. So if Gheki(bobdoleporn) can be the Wind Druid that would be a very nice favor.

Second, I say keep strife with the hammerdin to have 3, lvl20 if possible-conv, max conc, and ~lvl.10 salv.
Because in my opinion, since we have the javazon it replaces a sorceress because we just need another element for immunities.
The only reason why I'd rather have 2 sorcs is, god forbid sully dies. We wouldn't be totally screwed out of a teleporter.

This is not to imply that I doubt your teleporting skills. I think Blizzard should send you a medal and a plaque for your amazing teleport skills. But I just like having a semi-safety net.
3 hammerdins=GG. Do it. You know you want to.

ill play wahtever, but i must say ive enver played a druid before, so on vent just help me with my synergies, they cant be hard or anything lol

well guess I'm out of group 1. So be it. Don't waste points on conviction if you only have 2 elemental characters. That is just a waste. 3 hammerdins will be fun. Especially when it comes to items lol.

I completely agree with the 2nd sorc sentiment, which is why I was pleased that Pressure was in initially. The run is definitely fucked if I die and anything is possible, especially as we get into Hell and it starts to get very late. And I'd very much like to have a druid for oak sage, but I know ZERO about playing them so I can't give any advice.

lol not sure if ill plug in any micro, my english is better then before but i guess the whole dzone will be mocking when it come to pute to speak.

I can be the second sorc and we can go 2 hammers + 2 sorcs. I guess I'll be fire since lightning and cold are taken care of.

We need to be sure to vary the mercs, too. I'll be getting Prayer (combat) in normal and holy freeze (defensive) in Nightmare. Here's the breakdown:

Combat (Normal): Prayer
Combat (Nightmare): Thorns
Combat (Hell): Prayer
Defense (Normal): Defiance
Defense (Nightmare): Holy Freeze
Defense (Hell): Defiance
Offense (Normal): Blessed Aim
Offense (Nightmare): Might
Offense (Hell): Blessed Aim

Only half of us need to upgrade in NM- Blessed Aim, Defiance, and Prayer might seem worthless but it's definitely better than nothing. Nec definitely gets might merc. Let's get this sorted out so we're not confused on tuesday.

Also, try to get your build planned in advance. You don't want to waste skill/stat points once the run has started.

a good chunk of us are online in channel dzone

1- Cold tele sorc - holy freeze merc
2- hammerdin - holy freeze merc
3- leap bo barb - defense merc
4- hammerdin - AR merc
5- fire sorc - holy freeze merc
6- hammerdin - Prayer Merc
7- oak whore wind druid - Might Merc
8- Necro - Thorns merc

Necro should get thorns. Druid gets Might since druid does physical damage with tornado. Not sure if it effects it because it is a spell though.
Necro should get thorns because Necro is usually the first to go into a room. I think thorn will be more helpful than might in situations like that. And that is the only point where the necro will be alone and that is for a split second. For the most part we will be together the whole game sharing the auras.

might wont help wind druids
