How I did? A little luck with the gens, plus a new staff just a little better than the before one, and most important, lots of experience in normal IW with a borrowed magnificent item (each mob deal +300 dmg around level 150, like they were weakened RL, ouch), that made me realize a new tactic.


Well now appears I entered 1st class maging (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Exile Cleared

4 Great Mana Draughts used (this is starting to become little harder)

(IMG:[i40.tinypic.com] http://i40.tinypic.com/vryotz.jpg)

Well my gear fall 10 levels below and I let proficiency lag a while, but that's ok since I've beaten FSM (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Here I was... Oh yes our little competition Sayo you did DreamFall without items before, now look what I did today:

DreamFall Cleared

(Without Items this time)

(IMG:[i42.tinypic.com] http://i42.tinypic.com/2ppg9d3.jpg)

So were even again (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I also tried Exile, but I missed. Good luck, it might not be to long until I beat it as well, and you don't want me on the lead don't you (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Of course the fighting style I used was the freaking overpowered maging, I can't do it with 1HS yet (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Suddenly the bosses are just free mana and channeling makers, I can even kill them only with magic missile if I bother to.

@other players: Start to post here please, I don't want to 5-6-7th post here.

Edit: Exile cleared without items now, but I won't show a picture of it for now (it's saved anyway).
I'm in the lead for now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

That's what you think. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I've done Exile without items two or three times now. Maybe not at level 133 though.

Using a piece of Spirit-Ward gear allows me to survive high damage rolls (not crits) from Time Quake and Data Re-Write. That means I shouldn't need Spark of Life to survive End of Days which means I should be able to beat it at 220 (assuming I can survive the boredom of 70 legendaries).

You didn't show it so my mistake, oh well that means were even for a while until you got the next challenge, and that's not so bad, for the contrary it's very good (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Do it maging appears to be easy you just need to get channeling in the earlier rounds, so you cast arcane focus for free, just use ET to recover mana, and manage to take the damage per round. Once you get the final round you only need enough mana to cast the usual stuff until all is killed except the boss and magic missile do your trick (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Why can't you use silence and slow instead? You should be able to recover the mana spent on slow easy.

I haven't tried it. And I doubt it would be nearly as mana efficient. I'd be taking full strength physical attacks. The odds of me not needing to use Cure seem fairly low.

It's true, but as far as I know, you have Nerf which decreases their attack rating, and don't forget that by using 1 piece of dark mitigation gear it's not only that your playing be a little worse, which is something you can overcome with the muscle you have from other bonus, but you still have to deal with Ryouko in theory 1/4 of the 75 rounds.

Bdw why you can't survive to Time Quake and Data Re-Write with bewilder alone in the first place? I survived when I tried in RoB with ~23% dark mitigation in the 80s, and you have +82% HP pool now, plus 12.5% dark mitigation.

If it does, it doesn't do it enough for it to be noticeable.

, and don't forget that by using 1 piece of dark mitigation gear it's not only that your playing be a little worse

Let me worry about my gear set-up.

but you still have to deal with Ryouko in theory 1/4 of the 75 rounds.

Why would I worry about Ryouko? I can survive Impaler easily. Once I get the last 5% mitigation from cold rating, it will be even simpler.

Bdw why you can't survive to Time Quake and Data Re-Write with bewilder alone in the first place?

It's not that I can't survive it. It is that I can't always survive it. At the high end, they were doing 6500 damage with Bewilder in effect. That is more than my total HP.

It's not that I can't survive it. It is that I can't always survive it. At the high end, they were doing 6500 damage with Bewilder in effect. That is more than my total HP.

Ok now I'm very confused.
Left clarify some things first:
-Legends do the same damage whatever round it is, and it's the same damage in RoB.
-You tested several times, and verified that even with +82% HP pool more than a regular 80s player, plus 12.5% dark mitigation sometimes they were doing damage above your total HP
-80s players don't have spark of life, so basically they beat them using +50% magical mitigation for a scroll of avatar or using mitigation gear.
-Probably until now in the arenas with legends you used spark of life to protect against their attacks so that weren't a problem for you.

-This leads in 1 of 2 conclusions:
-Every simple player that defeated the legends in RoB without silence or spark of life were lucky because they didn't got hit with the high end damage they can do.
-Their Attack Rating grows faster than our Barrier Rating.

Were did I made a mistake?

PS:Sorry if I'm bothering with insisting on this, but I'm also thinking when I need to deal with them in To Kill a God, and it would be a bad surprise if I lose in the last round just because I didn't use spark of life.

Yes (assuming you are talking about arenas)

Yes.

-80s players don't have spark of life, so basically they beat them using +50% magical mitigation for a scroll of avatar or using mitigation gear.

They could also be using scrolls of life/gods.

-Probably until now in the arenas with legends you used spark of life to protect against their attacks so that weren't a problem for you.

Yes.

-This leads in 1 of 2 conclusions:
-Every simple player that defeated the legends in RoB without silence or spark of life were lucky because they didn't got hit with the high end damage they can do.

I'd say they generally got lucky because they managed to avoid/resist/parry the attacks or they were using a scroll that gave spark of life.

-Their Attack Rating grows faster than our Barrier Rating.

I doubt it. I wonder if anyone was ever able to survive the high end of their spirit attacks. Note, when I'm saying the high end, it is equivalent in damage to the low end of a crit.

And really, those kinds of rolls are fairly rare. I'd say they are only an issue when you are going to be fighting 70 legendaries in a row in fights that are going to be protracted because the need to proc ether theft. I can't afford to have spark triggering except in the rarest of circumstances and to insure that, I want to be able to survive without spark ever triggering.

PS:Sorry if I'm bothering with insisting on this, but I'm also thinking when I need to deal with them in To Kill a God, and it would be a bad surprise if I lose in the last round just because I didn't use spark of life.

And why can't you just use spark of life?

Ok now I understand, case closed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And why can't you just use spark of life?

I can, but don't think I'm gonna engage them several times in RoB till then, and from my experience I didn't need it, that's why I said it would be a bad surprise to lose because of that.

Longest Journey Cleared!

Mikuru Failed

First Try - DW + 4 Heaven-sent armor. PA+Banish.

4 Time Quakes minus 3 Sparks = death. Cruel thing was, I thought I won when the Result Pop-Up thingie appeared, as she was one shot away from defeat herself. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I should have used my Earth-walker Phase Robe for extra turns of Bewilder/Weaken/Slow/Shadow Veil. I think I spent more than twice as much time casting support/depreciating spells then actually fighting her. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'd get PA and have to cast 2-3 S/D spells instead of Banish. Just one or two more 3000+ HP PA+Banish would have gotten her.

I was using my normal Item Inventory so, the worst I lost was 1 Godly Mana Potion. Next time I am bring a little higher grade of mana pots, and Scrolls of the Gods, Avatar, and Life now that I know I have room for them. Plus, this was an under-prepared whim of the moment.

It's good to know there's still people that fights legends in the old fashion way (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
You have absorb? Time Quake is a magical attack so if you cast bewilder to prevent eventual crits, and cast absorb, in theory Time Quake is catch 75% of the time, so 4 Time Quakes = +- 1 Spark (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Konata cleared on first try!

Here's the situation shortly before she died:
(IMG:[i258.photobucket.com] http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/Flint1999/TheHentaiVerse_1272664184905.png)

And here she succumbs to me:
(IMG:[i258.photobucket.com] http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/Flint1999/TheHentaiVerse_1272664201391.png)

Items used:
1 Superior Mana Draught, 1 Superior Mana Potion, 1 Greater Mana Potion, 1 Godly Health Potion, 1 Shield Scroll, 1 Barrier Scroll, 1 Scroll of the Gods.

May have gotten through it without using some of these as my resist/evade/parry quota and accuracy were surprisingly high. Oh, and these three cuties helped me a lot, too.
