I just too bored to explain how I did it, if anyone is interested free to ask later.

In short it's mkonji's method refined, and I could clear in less 3000 rounds if I:
-Didn't wasted 500-700 rounds in the beginning.
-Used this staff (ignore the 3rd turn I don't have yet) instead of this one.
-Didn't have so low divine prof. (~77/78 before, now is 83)

I can clear in hard setting without items as well, and probably I can clear in heroic (but with items, and better prof)

The End (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

New day, time for posting statistics/tactic. (not that anyone cares)

+32,5% magic attack
+22,9% evade
+6,9% parry
8,5 interference
32 burden
+70,7% dark mitigation (+2,5% from black aura)

Staff
Cap
Breasplate
Gloves
Leggings
Shoes

What was my idea here? Pretty simple, instead of relying on +46% evade which save me 46% of FSM damage, I preferred using +70,7% dark mitigation, plus +22,9% evade which save me ~77,4% of FSM damage (ignoring misses and parry), quite the difference heh?

I as quite surprised with the performance, because it became too damn easy, still I made some mistakes here because of my inexperience with regen II.
-First I didn't need a +40% ET, +32% is already good, and if the staff is like my katalox, it's the best option to use by far.
-Second I used 2 pieces of light gear, make me losing +8,5% magic attack, especial because of my low light prof, but I don't had good mitigation cotton, expect this one, but I wasn't expecting to have a so overpowered protection.
-Third I probably could use this cap for better attack power (I still can get +5% dark mitigation from the dark spell)
-Fourth my divine prof is too low, it even leveled up ~5 levels, and yea that hurt.

Tactic:
Very simple, silence, nerf, and poison on FSM (the 2 last ones only remembered at +1600 turn), haste, SV, AF, Regen II on me, banish, mini-spirit attacks, cure and hits sometimes.

Magic missile to get coalesced mana, hit to get ET, and banish, use the channellings for getting free supportive spells, if I had one free channeling, and all supportive spells had still lots of turns left, just banish with 50% extra power, the deprecating one didn't need to be free.
When OC full, I release a mini-spirit attack (only remembered at +2000 turn)
Cure when HP below 1/3, and switch banish with magic missile when MP below 1/2, because of the bad rolls made me cast regen II, haste, and SV without channeling sometimes.

This was much more easier than weaken, bewilder, absorb, spark of life method, because the mitigation gear provided me the option of using silence instead.

Oh, and saving items, which make me the 2nd person (hito probably the 1st) to beat FSM without items (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

FSM is beatable in hard or heroic settings by anyone above L150, since having better mitigation gear than mine is normal, but I let that challenge for others, since I won't do it, unless someone give me lots of credits first (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

You should have tried this Staff. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Ahh, someone else who has learned the value of high mitigation in Ring battles.

Oh, and Endgame Final Round Cleared in 6 Turns. Infusion+5 Loki. It was very risky. Super Serial on turn 5, dropped me into the Red Zone, and if I was resisted/missed my last attack, I'd probably would have lost.

Endgame cleared... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Nothing special. First try, using DW melee, Almost no items as shown above (1 sup mana draught used, I need to cast weaken, didn't want to risk it, as seen in the over-paranoid items I bring with me) Here's what happen afterward.. after the PA proc

I accidentally did EoD with a full set of heaven-sent gear rather than using my spirit cap. Spark triggered more often, but I was still over 3/4 spirit by the end of the arena.

Yep, 2H Eths are totally [i47.tinypic.com] worthless (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

11 godly mana draughts used, but the last one was 99.999999999% wasted (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

84.3% holy mitigation
73 2H proficiency (before the match)

Strategic:
Very simple, regen II, silence and poison 100% time, haste to bring HP up again, and just hitting till death.
99% time IPU was bledding (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Being pure melle, and 2H proficiency close to my level, I bet I could do it with only 4-5 godlys, and that's not bad, not bad at all. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The funny moment was when I was about to kill IPU in a few hits, silence needed to be recasted, but I need 1 MP more. I didn't want to wait for another turn hopping for a MP regen tick (because I need 1 turn for the item and silence could be resisted), so I cast the item, and what happens? The MP regen tick came, and I killed IPU next 5-6 turns (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Cleared New Wings.
I love this exp modifier (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't see anything there that makes me change my opinion.

I'm not sure that that is very impressive.

There's a difference between worthless and not effective. I still need to prove with my usual anti-God DW if it's more effective.

I'm not sure that that is very impressive.

Well unless you could do better at my level, my only reference it's yours 20 levels above, with 8 Godly Mana draughts spent.

I'm pretty sure that the shield/barrier ratings for the bosses/legendaries were decreased after that, so, there is no point of reference. (Creating a timeline would be decently hard)

Ok, this is IPU, and you used a normal Axe, so different shield/barrier ratings don't affect bleeding.
The only thing it could help is with mini-spirit attacks, but they occur much less often, so they can't reduce 8 items to 4-5. (Plus you I don't have Rainbow aura, and IA like you)

No, but it would effect poison which now does almost the same damage that my bleed does. You just can't compare things from two different times.

You're right, I have to try out now to see, but you're sure in this release the RoB shield/barrier ratings were decreased? I didn't noticed nothing different, and I engaged the legends before and after this release.

They were reduced some time in the past though it wasn't announced. That they are no longer physical immune is evidence of that.

That happened in 0.4.5( Jan 28 2010), I remember because I started to defeat the legends right after.
You killed IPU in March long after that.
Look 4-5 items isn't a record or something, it just means that in theory it's very easy to defeat IPU already, it even make me gain little credits with it.
