Re: Wow...

A level 1 fire golem might not cut it by the end of Act 1, but it's certainly a godsend early game. There's a neat trick you probably don't know about, being new to the mod. The players setting limit was raised to 127 in this mod, vastly increasing drop quality, drop rate, monster damage, monster li...

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1

I certainly have no objection to you doing so as it will likely take me anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to finish all the remaining characters. Making you wait for me to finish doesn't seem very fun. Okay, so I forgot that the minor Summoner ChoM actually gives you wolf charges. I was under the imp...

Re: Wow...

The documentation was included in my download of the mod. Check the zip folder it's in. If you can't find it, it's probably not a big deal. It doesn't tell you anything the wiki can't (though you miss a bunch of the sweet pictures). I definitely recommend downloading the ZyEl version with the altere...

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1 (Ladder 2)

Amazons are certainly striking me as late bloomers, but once you get multishot to a decent level, some ctc rings will let you quickly dominate high density areas (providing you can accrue sufficient AR). I don't think Reebok will end up at the end of the ladder, but she's going to need some incredib...

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1

I'm willing to bet that classes such as a sorceress are a lot more dependent on luck than a barbarian, leading to the rather prominent gap between scores. It's certainly not possible that the disparities are entirely due to skill, because we're all reasonably skilled ZyEl players. I'm going to play ...

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1

Actually, I know that the brand name is spelled UnderArmour, but I wouldn't be very American if I didn't reject differing spellings as invalid :lol: As I stated, I'm pretty confident that a sorceress is the only class that has a potential to beat my ladder 1 score due to static field. In later ladde...

Re: New version developement

Crafted belt with hp/lvl and some gigantors should solve any health issues. The bone armor charges granted by gigantor should add some tankiness too.

Re: New version developement

What particular issues are you having? Are you having trouble killing things or just surviving? (Or both?)

Some pictures of your gear would be helpful in any case.

If you can find a Shard of Mentats, that could also alleviate some of your mana issues.

I haven't played an amazon in quite some time, but I do recall Multishot having a huge mana cost. The number of arrows seems off, though.

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1

My ZyEl shortcut randomly decided to stop working despite every other mod functioning fine, even after I did a clean reinstall of the mod. I caved and just got D2SE and spent an hour or so setting up all my mods and importing the saves. The ZyEl patch offered in the download doesn't have the altered...

Re: New version developement

I really like that your program has a visual of the runes included. Sure, I don't really need them to create the runeword, but I often times forget which runes have which graphic because I never played Vanilla D2 hard enough to find the higher level runes.

Re: Zy-El Ladder Tournament Season 1

Honestly, I was pretty elated when I discovered that this forum still has tournament activity; I thought that the release of Diablo III would've murdered this place, but it's still chugging along at its own pace. I really like the tournament scene because it adds a social aspect to gaming which real...

Hello! Out of curiosity, would it be too late to enroll in this challenge?

I figure this challenge would be fun to do as I never actually got ...
