Ahh,.,.. I love a good, faithless bashfest. Just what the doctor ordered.

Not much thinking required. Hit, regen, repeat.

But then, I wasn't trying for superlative anything. Middle of the pack on all counts.

Went with the mindless Balanced Dagger on Bandit Camp - you can't not use it, if you clean the place out!

I killed some bandits around 3 or 4 which I probably should've saved for more XP, but it didn't matter too much. I just felt like rushing, so I also go sloppy with potions and blackspace. I just did Martyr Wraps and Witchalok Pendant to burn through the Goo starting around 6 with a level up heal and a couple potions. Did something similar for the berserker boss. All I remember is saving 80 piety for Chaos Avatar but not having to use it.

Anyway, I stuck around long enough to get my Tony Danza before ending the dungeon.

Went a caster approach; JJ fueled mana, B2P to leverage JJ fueled health, and battlemage ring. Lots of wraiths to blast to smitherines. After beating both bosses without ever having to use Chaos Avatar, I decided to see if I could catch up to the "most XP" folks today. I'd forgotten I'd converted IMAWAL right at the beginning, so fat chance of that should have just existed the dungeon and taken my solid time.

This is the first daily where I actually prepped a god. Binlor. Found his altar quickly and joined up then stayed with him the entire game and it went rather easily. Did a mixed basher/caster game and didn't really have problems with anyone. I was finally killing creature many levels higher with a good comfort level. Gee, I might actually be learning something!

Killed the berserker boss with Pisorfs and a couple hits. Then went after Goo with fireballs, mana potions and the purple potion that gives you mana back (haven't learned all the names yet).

I'm really liking the Tinker class. And Binlor isn't so bad as far as gods go. I really hate JJ and GG, though. Dracul is still my go to guy when he's around.

Blovski's pro-level guide to making today's completely absolutely ideal Berserker Camp Tinker setup interesting:

Step 1: Compress FIreball once your inventory starts filling up.
Step 2: Wonder where your Fireball went.
Step 3: Hey, why do I only have one Transmutation Seal?
Step 4: Bollocks.

Tikki and balanced dagger on a map with dozens of same-level enemys? And IMAWAL? Welp, time to max XP.
Used JJ initially to boost my casting powers, used B2P and GETINDARE (I still love that gylph combo) to get high level Wraiths, took down Goo and Björn, and then cleaned up the map, topping XP with a last-ditch CA (otherwise I'd be 3rd or 4th, I suspect). Got lucky on that last conversion.


Regarding IMAWAL, if there are no plants, I usually sacrifice the 1's and maybe 2's on high level-kills, but only if I know that I won't need that popcorn later, and the level 2's tend to be a bit iffy with learning tacked on.

I generally try to brick for valuable kills; if you're going to tear down a level 3 or 4 at level 1, than sacrificing a level 1 is well worth it. Bricking a level 1 for a slowed level 2 - nah, especially with something like TT on the field. High level stuff is also worth bricking if you know you'll never touch it; high level AA'S, VT zombies, curse guys against resist stackers, etc.
For Xp-maxing, I tend to brick more indiscriminately. Early Boss- and high-level kills are usually bricked, afterwards it depends on how much I need my remaining blackspace for something else. If I no longer need blackspace to clear the map, I brick the lowest level stuff until it's no longer worth it.
Didn't use it too much today, since I had pretty much no blackspace after burning down the Goo;
