I can understand that. However, given that maphack doesn't work at the
moment and half the time, we have to walk down, I find it quite
enjoyable, as we get some really intense battles there. Nothing I like
better than having pygmies and souls around at the same time. In
general, I have always loved killing pygmies, which is why I spent so
much time in the jungles, and having them around in the keep really
adds to the drama :)

Yup, the guest monsters in the keep have really made it FAR more
interesting. Other than the fact that OKs kill my merc, I really have
had a LOAD of fun there, as you can get some combinations that, after
it is all over and all the corpses have been recovered, can be quite
funny and very enjoyable in the killing/surviving.

Cool!

Well, once you leave to start work again, I could probably get us back on
there for a while if I focused on just one character (my own necromancer,
mostly likely, given my current state of lag), but once I hit level 92, that
would stop as that seems to be around the point that focus has to shift
entirely to fast minion runs, which is about where my interest runs out. I
like running the keep, just not all the time, and I don't really like public
games that much. I also like to level up a character, but once the game
reaches that level of repetition (just minion runs) I no longer consider there
to be much "point" to it.

Hehe. We got an interesting little surprise waiting for Demi and I around
the first corner by the keep level 2 wp yesterday. It was a cold enchanted
gloam boss pack with another pack right beside it, which was a fanatic,
cursed, PI beetle boss. I was playing the barb, so I had taunt to help me
try to separate the herd, but it was still touch and go there for a bit. The
Halls of Pain in that same game really lived up its name also. :)

I'm quite enjoying playing my barb down there, at the moment. I like being
able to bring max BO and Shout, since we don't have too many barbs around yet,
being able to Taunt really helps us a lot at times, and since I have him
geared more towards zerk damage than concentrate damage (I decided on the fly
to make a bit of a hybrid build than a more generic concentrate guy), I'm
mostly free to focus on using my war cries to help us get through. Demi's
paladin has a gimmershred on switch now, I think, so he's got some options as
well. :)

I'm not sure if you've all caught up on post reading yet (and there's been a
lot to read lately), but I'm interested in more feedback on the whole +2 all
necro skills/+3 RS/+3 SM necro head issue from the skeletons thread. It
seemed from my perspective that you'd simply made a typo and hadn't realised
it, or whatever, but if you've actually got such an item (I assume we were
talking about magic or rare items), then we should maybe get some screenshots
and spread the word, as it were. If such an item can occur, then I just got
a heck of a lot more incentive to start IDing every last magic necro head.
:)

'Grats, Mickey. Well done!

'Course with all the different realms and ladders, no doubt other
AGDers have some listings, too. Let's hear about them! (Actually, if
you want to get a ladder listing, just start a zon in CD2: the
youngest chars listed on the HC CD2 zon ladders are still in Normal!)

My windruid rebuild, Call-OfTheWild, is somwehere around #60 on the
USEast HC druid ladder, at level 86. My wife lurks here from time to
time, and her 89 throwbarb, Jeteur, is around #50 on the USEast HC
barb ladder.

The overall standings are just _so_ saturated with sorcs, though...

You should have seen it in the LoD beta. Of the top 196 chars, there were
195 sorcs and a necro. Blizzard's response to such disproportionate
standing? Why they nerfed my necro, of course. Twice.

Update, Jeteur is 90 and 320-something on USEast overall HCL.

Hehe. Just figured it was gimmers as I've always found lacerator harder to
find. :)

Not sure if any survived the Elly-Jabber giveaway, but I think I had about
12 or 15 of them off-ladder :)
