Right in time for Farmathon too ^_^


Yeeeee!

I've realised using Lacerator vs non boss/unique types (i.e. clearing Pits and Tunnels) is actually quite irksome, especially in open areas, due to the flee spreading out mobs as as well as interrupting curses of course.

In light of that, a second pair of Warshrikes is now on the list of "stuff left to find," as well as Wraith Flight. A higher ED and/or eth Reaper's would be cool too but entirely optional, the current one works just fine!

Perhaps I'll get lucky and one such item may drop in farmathon.

Flynn makes me sick with how much better he is than Gaindalf...



Good job and congrats.... once again <_<

But seriously, excellent progress. When is Flynn gonna retire and hang his jersey in the rafters? Feel like he has already reached his pinnacle. He can't get too much better.. can he?

Thanks man, yeah you make a good point! He's ticked off all goals and more; the purpose of the WT is fulfilled. Any stuff he has left to find is more like optional or "QoL" gear.

DPS could still be improved with finding Wraith Flight - ghost glaives are the hardest hitting throwing weapons, plus they're eth, and a very slow base. The WSM glitch means bigger disparity between the two base weapon speeds = faster attack rate. So ghost glaives at base 20 and winged knives at -20 will give a pretty hilarious throwing speed :p

But yeah, I'll be posting here way less now, unless something very rare and/or cool drops.

Just a brief update here :) Couple of cool finds, and some more footage!

This was the nastiest pack I've seen in Pits for some time... Vikhyat tanks like a champ!


Thought this was a very cool find, I don't see many eth zerkers in SP!


Of course any of y'all following the Farmathon would've seen this already, but posting here for posterity, I was very chuffed with it!

I didn't include Chaos Sanctuary in my Farmathon areas, so unfortunately this drop doesn't count toward it, but a sick find! Lacerator number two!


... until I saw the ID :rofl: 1ED away from anti-perf! I stashed them, but not sure I'll keep!



Video on the way in the next post, the upload is very slow tonight :)

So here we go, an average run of Ancient Tunnels!

I've been fiddling with weapon combos so that Flynn can do the entire run without having to go to repair in town, and looks like it worked with this run! It is still a little dependent on the number of packs that spawn with stone skin ;)

Any of the flying axes combined with Warshrike is best for general mobs due to the attack speed and extra Pierce. Lacerator presents some issues with stragglers in open areas, but it's brilliant for taking down champions and uniques.

Anyways, enjoy! :D

I'm glad! ^_^

Highest rune from Farmathon so far, don't think I'll be matching Lii somehow :lol:


Nicest ED jewel so far, going in Arreat's right after Farmathon...


... doing this first though, no other use for Ist and these dry runs suck :lol: MF now at 206 with Wisp, as I found another 7MF SC!


Let's see if it pays off! Rerolling my maps this eve and firing up for some more runs!

Thanks much! :D

Time for some updates on this guy!

I switched PC a few months ago and lost a bunch of screenshots I never posted here; I don't think much interesting happened besides a Lo from LK and hitting level 95 :)

Rules - updated

  • Build restriction lifted. Think I've shown Double Throw works, and I wanna try something new :)
  • Flynn now has access to a single mule (not using PlugY)


Found an eth ettin axe recently and made Death, as I'd quite like to see how Death + Beast would work as Frenzy! Which of course means back to LK :D

Goals - updated

  • Ber rune
  • Beast base (zerker or ettin, dunno which is better)
  • String of Ears (never kept any, d'oh)
  • Nice dual leech ring
  • IAS/all res jewel to go in Guliman's


Alright, let's do this! The road to "Flynn the Frenzy"!

The drop that started it all!


Cube success :thumbsup:


Was hunting for Vex I think? Creepers doing some line-dancing practice ^_^
