I didn't once use holy spell garbage. All hail the underpowered dual wield! (just a broad hint, Tenbrobro)

DW isn't underpowered.

Weak-ass reward, as expected.

Yes it was predictable, since on normal, the trio have a higher rate of dropping superior quality junk, unlike the rest of the challenges. (given my LoD level of course)

I'm pretty sure he was talking about my beating of the FSM on Battletoads...

You didn't get it.
What I meant is, that we get exquisite occasionally on battletoads trio, because the arena bonus must have a higher quality multiplier, given what I see with normal Trio vs normal everything else quality drop rates.

Normalfest - Round 2451

(IMG:[i55.tinypic.com] http://i55.tinypic.com/2mxfic9.png)

Broke 2000. I think that's the last time I'm going to bother doing that. Mind-numbingly boring. Also pointless. Hardfest or maybe even Heroicfest would be a better test.

I brought some spirit stuff this time, but after getting to 2000 without using any I made a conscious decision to not bother. So I had half spirit going into that boss encounter. It seems like I could have kept going if I had had a full spirit bar as one more cast should have finished MBP. And god knows how much longer after that if I actually tried to use up all 8 spirit restoratives.

Some notes: Mana is not an issue. I usually had enough Mystic gem drops to maintain Arcane Focus and Spark. Shadowveil on IA. On one dry spell (few mana gems/second winds + some spark of life recasts) I dropped to like 200 mana, but other than that one time, there was no danger of running out of mana. There's no point in doing anything but all out nuking Bosses after a certain point as even weakened, you'll get one-shot. Not sure if Blind would be good though. Depends on how the action speed/turns would work out and how good Blind is. I don't even know.

Well, that was fun. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I've got a stupid question, does it even make sence to grind so many rounds? Do you get like 20 C each round, even after you crossed the 1000th round?
Also (correct me if I am wrong but), there's not much exp to get there...

Nope, there is absolutely no reason to do it, except to be able to say you did it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
It's not really even an accomplishment, since it's not exactly difficult. But I had no itemworlds left, and I was just watching TV anyway, so meh.

And you get 1 C per round after like round 200 something.
I mean it goes quite fast since like 90% of the rounds are 1 turn and the rest are 2 turns or less, so I get a lot of item drops, and that run netted me 40 pieces of equip and 6 artifacts. It's not exactly a waste of time, but it IS really boring.

Ohhh, ok (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) CONGRATS on 2000 Rounds Grindfest then!

I've finished Growing Storm and the first four bosses.
Konata killed me with her special attack (1400 damage, my max HP is 1290). Bitch.

IPU Down!

Fighting style: DW Axe+Rapier

Physical Attack
+41.5 % damage
+61.8 % hit chance
+9 % crit chance

Avoidance
+19.5 % evade
+0 % block
+21.1 % parry
+10.7 % resist
+76.6 % Holy mitigation

Item used: 6x Mana Elixirs, 1x Gum (waste), 1x Scroll of the gods

Easier than RL IMO.

Wow that is impressive! What kind of damage did you do to IPU per turn and how much damage did you take from his special attack and normal attacks on average? You made it look too easy!

I only have a DW rapier + dagger or rapier + rapier. Did you try that combo before?

As you see in the pic, the damage came mostly from bleed (315 per turn) and Poison+PA (100-150 per turn) and that's about it.

You can't melee the Gods (unlike the Legendary), their defense is far too high even if PA...

817 2 Your offhand hits Invisible Pink Unicorn for 11 piercing damage.
817 1 You hit Invisible Pink Unicorn for 25 slashing damage.
816 3 Invisible Pink Unicorn gains the effect Penetrated Armor.

564 1 You crit Invisible Pink Unicorn for 5 slashing damage.
563 1 You hit Invisible Pink Unicorn for 3 slashing damage.

bleed them to dead seem to be the only way if not using magic. That's why I use Axe.

I get hit for about 150-230 and half of that if I use weaken. Their skill are not really that much different than theNormal attack.

Spirit Attack = Dead. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

Yeah you can. That's how I did it. You just can't melee them at that low level.

You mean.. with the eth rapier ... right? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

If not ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) How?

With any decent Eth. I took IPU down with my Eth longsword long time ago.

So you say you killed this thing with just bleed and Poison + PA? Does PA affect bleed? Did you use any magic? I know we don't get Dark magic until lv 150 but does that mean any other spell is useless against it? The only bleed weapon I got is a katana. Should I try Niten Ichiryu on the Gods like IPU? Is that a good idea? Or should I buy an axe to DW with a rapier instead?

PA does not affect bleed damage. If you're at the appropriate level and have access to Dark spells, you CAN use them to speed up the battle, but it's not necessary. I'd recommend Axe/Rapier over Katana/Wakizashi unless you have a ridiculously good set of the latter. You can usually find better bleed on an axe, and PA does help.

Keep in mind that if you're going to try it at as low of a level as Buktore did it, you should go with mitigation gear. I don't know if it'd be possible with a regular equip setup (you'd probably have to go ridiculous with the item usage at the very least, unless you wanted to do it the super slow mage way, but it'd take foreverx10 without Dark spells.
