Ahahahahha XD

That's what I'm talking about :) Wiki's no place for racism, clueing people into how all this stuff is playable and how the unlikely looking stuff can work out impossibly well is the way to go.

Btw, that a prepped Codex or not? Because Codex Priests rock socks ^^ Reason I tend to do that particular thing with Halflings is because EM sinergizes with the Codex due to entanglement and covers the mana part, so what you're looking for in that combo is health refills, otherwise yeah. Dat Screenshot!

Also - thanks for the TT thing, I was trying to remember how exactly that works today and couldn't :)

Btw, holy Hesus that's some health pool you've got there. Troll Heart always been underrated IMO.

Dear Diary,

Today I defeated the dreaded lich Namtar. I pledged to do so in the ancient way, without relying on the fancy glyph-based magicks of the new generations. I enlisted the help of a "whurgarbl-o-mancer", an Orcish sage following the ancient traditions, whose magical prowess is extremely physical in nature. The whurgarbl-o-mancer follows an ancient form of martial art, and relies on a holy relic of acidic properties to defeat its foes.

Perhaps my enamourment with the shiny glyph-thingies dulled my instincts, and made this challenge a bit more challenging than it should have been. Nevertheless, on the second try (plus further three unsuccessful tries with the Taurog Half-Dragon), I managed to accomplish this feat:

It warms my heart greatly, because there is only one last challenge of this limiting nature that stands between my army of Gnomes ransacking the place... 8-)

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. The reason I'd love the Dagger tweaked is that it flat out makes things possible (like playing screwy things on tight maps), but it's layed out like an optional trinket instead of a hardcore engine of doom it is. I'd love it making me pay an opportuinity cost for having it in my inventory, but still have the effect around so I could do positively epic things like this.

Venom Dager, late game Binlor Swap for dmg and Res Removal (also map decloging, was a huge deal) had a lot to do with it, but the dagger kinda made it even get off the ground at all. And it gets this off the ground, you can imagine what it does to any more sinergistic build in a less tight map.

Okay, so at this point I think every one else and their dog has managed this, but I finally got around to tackling VT Vicious dungeons and had a nice, smooth victory in VT Naga City on my first try using Waldo0's good old Binlor Paladin:

Image

I think the image already says quite a lot on how lucky the draw was. Boss-wise, I was able to knockback Jörmungandr and Aequitas into Tormented One, Frank and Meatman into Tomithy, and Iron Man and Gobb into Goo (who nevertheless had quite a lot of leftover health to work through). I think going into the arena at level 8-into-9 was the right choice, since at 9 with max magic resists and 53% physical resists I could regenfight every boss (except those I killed via indirect knockback). The biggest deal, overal, was not having to touch Tomithy even once, thanks to the two huge punchbags he spawned with. Otherwise, even though I had converted ENDISWAL and PISORF before descending to the Arena, I used Consensus and an EM desecration to buy some Stone Hearts so I could open up large amounts of blackspace (and activate Stone Form) when I needed it.

Funny enough, it was finally succeeding with the Vampire in Naga City that made me want to try the VT version... but honestly, I thought the Vampire run was significantly harder. Of course, there are few things which compare favourably with the Binlor Paladin... (Well, the Vampire arguably does... just not in Naga City or VHoS!)

Oh my! What happened here?

Hint: Gnomes :)

It was very tight game, I only had 5 Mana Potions left in the end. Not counting the ones I would have gotten for converting my equipment, of course (that's the reserve). :roll:
