General-Purpose bragging topic!

Warlord Silver is a funny place. Last time I was there I had no idea what the dungeon was about, went in with an Orc, and joined EM early. All I have done was killing a slowed lv2 and bricking it's revenant. Found Bleaty, a MW and since I was swimming in blackspace I figured why not accumulate corrosion on him while I look for a better target.

And that's how I cleared the board at lvl 2 with only 8 EM piety and 6 plants. Eventually I racked up 33 corrosion, and with Pm's Alchemist Pact I could ding during the fight too. Have I been a Goblin I could have won Parched, even this way I only drank a few potions.

Ah, right, well, great job, I gotta say. Is it doable with a fatter boss? EDIT: Wait, that's just Alch Pact? Wow, I need to get all the other stuff out of my PQI so it sets me up w more Gnomes, that looks silly I just don't want to go scumming it up.

I'm sorry about posting that in the brag thread anyway, I didn't scum for bossess or PM, that was complete coincidence. I knew it would confuse people.

Still, it confused you into a pretty cool run it seems ^^

EDIT: The reason I posted the PoS thing, before anyone jump to conclusions is because I didn't see Pissorff listed on the wiki among the solutions to Hex, and well, turns out it is. A bunch of us thought Stheno would just wipe the map if you pissorf something into her, turns out she doesn't which was quite a bit of a surpise. You can ding kill her that way, and the big deal with the map isn't just dealing with revenants or her resists, it's that you don't have popcorn for that fight. Unless you use PoS, it seems, so it's not about power or anything, but interactions and stuff. Reason we didn't know (those of us who didn't) is that it makes so little sense that noone probably tried before or something. - And that meant I had an end screen screenshot people don't see often.

Whoo, am I gonna have fun once the Gnomes start showing up.

And yeah, whole deal with this Pos nonsense is that it was never really on the players radar because for the longest time you couldn't prep it, so we never even considered it as a "strat", really, more like something you occasionally run into. Which is why Darvin, say, thought only the Wizard could be serious about it, as he was the only guy who didn't have to scum hard to find it. And then it got added to Binlor as a nerf to the way we were using Binlor, so we never kinda feedbacked properly on it or even explored it help polish all the kinks out of it.

Btw, I just found a guy you can't PoS easily simply because he has a built in protection - VT Getanadafix reacts properly to it, spawns mana burn plants all over the place. It's still doable, it's just not doable from the moment you walk into the place regarless of almost anything. EDIT: He even spawns them between him and you when you push him into a wall, it's quite startling. It's actually interesting to play against something that resists goin down to it, it just needs working counters like fireballs have. If blink guys blinked away, cowardly guys ran away, phys res guys actually resisted it and it had a clear tooltip I'd probably never talk about it at all.

And, right, now, so brags. If I manage to PoS down this damned Druid with the Orc Wizard PQI set me up with in there I'll certainly brag about it.

Tinker you are a genious and the fact that you exist is a great blessing upon the world:



This is both an homage to the latest lvl1 bosskill escapade, as well as that glorious Gnome Crusader report. PQI finally started sending Gnomes my way ^^

Fun fact: Pact cost payments count as punishments, and thus trigger indulgences. This is VERY handy to know.

A at me fact: Slayer Wand? Really? No Dodge? Really? No alchemist? Really? - I'm a doofus ocasionally.

That is a very interesting little tidbit
