why do you keep bumping this?

Dmanz/Michellegirls old multi trying to get a decent post count?

not too bad odds tbh - thought was worse than this

I took a break from Torch in order to imbue the diadem. I started "Grrrr", a /p8 sword double swing barb.

See the complete walk thus far here: http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/Grrr/

The result:


I'm now purchasing fraps so that I can record more than a 30 sec (huge) avi file...

/p8 all the time, except countess runs. WAY more drops that way, and hammer owns all with only one exception. And that is what merc / holy bolt is for.

Uber trist - yes /p8 I think. But Lillith - mebbe not. I need to run the numbers. Her AR is like 30k, twice as much as others. That's why I'm thinking about prudence in an eth bugged hellforge plate. But w/o dracs I was thinking about using marrowwalk's level 12 life tap charges (~42 secs) , which means duress is a must to make up for the loss of CB and OW on gores.

So, UT gear is still in flux..


An update on the crafts and rolls! I made video of the entire ordeal, but none of the crafts need that level of proof IMO. If you think otherwise I can extract the bit where it was created.

I rolled the diadem but nothing was worthwhile. This is where it ended up:


I did 50 caster amulets and ~ 40 blood rings.
Here are all the crafts that were worth saving (barely):

See all here: http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/torch/crafts/

The video in avi format ended up being ~ 28 Gigs. mp4 encoding will bring that down to ~ 1/10th the size. Still way too big to post.

So, pretty disappointed with the crafts, I turned to the GC.

This one does need video evidence
http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w486/d2thing/?action=view&current=RollTheGc.mp4



The very first roll produced a sounding skiller of sustenance. 32 life

So now I'm ISO more baal GCs. Or, can some one tell me the correct iLevel to maximize the chance for 20 life SCs w/ 11 resists?

The funniest thing about that video is the massive amount of crap in your stash.

Keep up the good work

One last thing... I also have ~ 60 million gold saved up. So I'll be recording some gambling now

I also tried to use gambling to inform what craft / rolls to perform.

Anyone who gambles a lot can sometimes notice streaks in the affixes. Yes, it is just luck. But as mentioned before I think the random number generator in this >10 year old game is quite a bit less than perfectly random. So, I gambled until I noticed a bunch of +skills spawning on circlets, then I ran to roll the diadem.

4/12 had +2 skills
1/12 has +1 skills
1/12 had +2 skill tree
2/12 had +1 skill tree
4/12 had no +skill anything.

According to that german affix calc:
Prefix Group 125 Chance for any +2 all skills on rare diadem: 1260:6731 (18.7193581 %).. So I beat the odds this time, provided I'm reading the affix calc right.

I did the same type of thing on rings looking for +str, fcr & resists, and on amulets looking for +skills and +fcr. This SEEMED to be effective, but I'm not going to run the numbers.

Yea, some MAJOR housecleaning is in order

On b.net I have like five mule accounts.
