Challenge Tuesday, Naked Belial Kill on Inferno Monster Power 1 (Enchantress is OP)

Posted by DHAdmin on November 6th, 2012 at 2:17 am

Welcome to the first Challenge Tuesday, where I run around naked as my Enchantress lays the smack down on Inferno Belial. Unfortunately like I stated in the video this was not possible on MP2 or higher as the enrage timer would hit before the boss was even half health. Therefore I was forced to do it on MP1, which honestly was not all that easy. Any attempt where my enchantress died even once meant the fight was over.

Quick summary of the fight:

  • I tried to stay a decent distance from the enchantress so that the 3-hit combo would mostly avoid her. However Belial decided not to play fair at the start of the fight.
  • Seven Sided Strikes was used for dodging his breath attack.
  • I would only use Serenity if I felt I would 100% die otherwise. I think I only used it twice the entire fight.
  • During the massive explosion phase the Enchantress is mostly fine as followers take reduced damage from area of effect spells.
  • Proper management of health globes to ensure the Enchantress does not die is extremely important.
  • It took me 10 attempts to get the routine down perfectly.

Next week's Challenge Tuesday will be a "Destructible Chain Combo Challenge". This basically means seeing how many destructible objects I can break without stopping. I welcome anyone to take part in next week's challenge, just send me the link to your video or screenshot before next Tuesday! In case you aren't exactly sure what I mean by Destructible Chain Combo, check out this video of the record I want to beat.

If you have any ideas for future Challenge Tuesdays, I would love to hear them.

I love Mondays, 15 Million Gold up for Grabs

Posted by DHAdmin on November 5th, 2012 at 3:02 am

@Inevitable610, @euggie and @DIABLOFARMER are this weeks winners. Next weeks prize is 2 Leoric's Signets, good luck everyone!

In all honesty the title is a bit of a lie, not unlike the cake a certain Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System promised me. (GLaDOS) But back on topic, today is practically everyones least favorite day and I hope to make it slightly better by doing small giveaways each monday.

Before we get to the giveaway I need to go over some of my new plans. This is the first of daily blog updates where each day will have it's own theme. Of course this all may change depending on user input, so please share your feedback. The main goal is having daily content on the website, but that only works if the content is worthwhile. The current plan is as follows:

  • I love Mondays - Giveaways and plans for the week.
  • Challenge Tuesday - I will go over this more tomorrow, but it is a weekly challenge where users can take part in and share videos of them attempting the challenge if they wish. Something to do other than endlessly killing demons... unless the challenge involves killing demons.
  • Wednesday Market Watch - Discussion of how the market has been doing the past week, following the prices of certain set items and general discussion about all things to do with the auction house.
  • Thursday Build Discussion - Discussing a chosen build and experimenting with new build ideas.
  • Friday Week in Review - A summary and discussion of any news or events that happened during the week.
  • Saturday Morning Articles - A new article each week either by me or highlighted from the community.
  • Sunday Scripture! I mean lore! - Honestly the Diablo story may not be the greatest thing ever but I really do enjoy reading it and discussing the world. Therefor every sunday I will discuss some nerdy part of the Diablo universe.

About that 15 million gold... every week is a different prize. They will never be as big as the monthly contests, but they are intended to reward regular visitors of the website. This week we have 3 prizes of 5 million gold each to be given away.

Rules: You can only win one prize, so do not answer all 3 questions. The first three people to give correct answers (to my liking) will be the winners. After that I will update the post with the winners names.

Leave your answer in the comments of this post

    This weeks questions (you only need to answer one to win)
  • (1) Who are the three Prime Evils?
  • (2) How long does the unruned Monk skill Serenity last for?
  • (3) What Legendary has a "Chance to summon a Demonic Slave when attacking."?

Well that concludes blog entry #12, see you guys tomorrow.
