Just for kicks last night I decided to play a crude IW on easy instead of my normal IWBTH. Damn was it ever easy to go through 109 levels on that item. But what surprised me the most was that I actually got TWO artifact drops on that round. Only got two equp drops one "crued" and the other "fine" quality.
I'm thinking I'll do a single round or so on easy each day on top of my IWBTH rounds just to see if I can farm some more artifacts. I don't think it's possible to even die on that dificulty so it's really easy to boot.

Yes, even after 0.6.4 patch, with 80-90% success rate. Even if ether theft's needed, that would be in the last 5-10 rounds, and I've counted that as a failure.

thanks , i understand here you go Karmic Exhaustion reduces the effect of your imbuement to 82%. Karma Amplification increases the effect of the imbuement by 40%. You have imbued varst with 704.87 points of karma. Your Karma Influence Power has been drained, and is now 1.

Tt takes me 15-20 turns on average per round with legends, which include the rounds for debuffs/strategic planning.
Should take me 4-7 shots to take down a legend.

How come? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If Ether Theft are not involved, what's the extra turn for?

Spam magic missile on legends till CM occurs. 2. Cast nerf on legend. 3. Spam banish/purge till legend dies. Next round. 4. If there's chanelling, cast supportive spells. Basically it's how I deal with EODs. The first step is where most of the turns are spent. This post has been edited by varst: Feb 24 2012, 13:50

about item world. reading the wiki it sais that depending on the difficulty i can gain some levels to my item. this means that if i have a level 38 weapon i have to do hmmm 100 times the IW at IWBTH to get 300 more levels? isn't it possible to find high-lvel stuff? moreover being a melee who can cast only a few spells i shoulg do for healing/ supportive/ deprecative ones or just healing/ deprecative? it's melee a viable way to go? or it's CASTERverse? (instead of hentaiverse)
when i should mind going for ring of blood, creating a monster and IW?

Do you know the translation of "hentai"? Yeah, that's pretty much how it works, you're either "a mage" or "a hentai". Deal_with_it.jpg

imo you will lose a lot of stamina just spamming on IW. It may not worth the artifacts found (if any)

Well, IW is a way to level up your equipments, but now even a mage won't spend the insane time/effort required just to finish that in normal difficulty. Yea there're high-level stuffs, but there're also stuffs that are simply so good that you can't find them anywhere. And IMO melee isn't the best way to go IW, just like it isn't the best way for mages to go IWBTH grinding now. This post has been edited by varst: Feb 24 2012, 15:09

So you're either a mage or a pervert? Wow, this gives me a whole new perspective on those melee weapons I've been using. Probably should have washed my hands.

Every day I do two item worlds on Normal, about 160 rounds each to level two pieces that are significantly behind my level. I hate it. It makes me almost want to cry. Before I enter an IW, I convince myself that I'll just breeze right through, but it never happens. Even though it only takes a couple of turns per round. Item Worlds just seem to make time slow to a crawl. I think I'm crazy for subjecting myself to so much IW. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

it was a twisted game of words with a subtle reference to WoW. once upon a time warlocks were the imb4 class. so the acronymous stood for "World Of Warlocks" in some player's opinion. the same way, i've noticed that here some spell combos are the way to defeat many uber mobs. but does this mean going as caster is the best way? so i changed the first part of the name in caster.
