@euggie, @khan - thanks! I'm going to add both of you as well then the next time I log on... ;)

sounds good!

@euggie Well it certainly wasn't fast. Most packs took around 3-4 minutes (more for extra health, less if the mobs clumped together).

I can take a pass of arcane or a molten explosion without dying, but I'm concerned that I might have trouble with magdha's bugs or ZK's falling rocks. I'm not too sure how they compare damage wise. If we get someone using warcry, or a 3rd CM wiz, there might not be any need to worry.

I kited a champ pack to the KW so I was able to keep him still for the most part until about 50% life when the champs died. He still wasn't dangerous, just took a long time.

icic... i think your APS is higher than mine... but i just bought a chant's force (couldn't afford the apoc one) but it upped my aps quite a bit! lets test it out :)

I assume you also have the wand- If you keep using the storm crow you'll be fine APoC-wise with 19, so the no AP on source is fine. I have 19 while and it would help to have more vs single targets, but the huge eHP and IAS from the mempo is much more useful. I got my chant's source with only 162 avg damage b/c I wanted the high APoC and 9% IAS for cheap(though, the set bonus and IAS actually made it a big DPS increase over the 215 damage occulus).

@khan, @ammostiel, @nightcrawler9

You guys rocked it last night. Much respect to my freezing friends. MP 10 arcane beams FTW! lol I'm looking forward to seeing the video @khan. That was weird Diablo crashing on me like that.

BTW anyone who wants to do uber runs can just FR me. I almost always have a machine on me and no I would never even think to charge for a run. Who actually does that? lol

you make a good point about the lower avg dmg vs the apoc... i should've thought of that :/ oh well
and yes i have a wand... show me yours and i'll show you mine? :D

I'd just like to explain to everyone that we failed at it for three reasons.

1. Me in party, I don't have uber good gear.

2. It was late as hell.

3. Khan was at a little drunk.

I think that given a second chance in a better situation, our team would have slain that shit.

@buzzell, you should have stoped at :

Damn Mo, harsh...

@mowuffe though you're right, I'd like to not take all the blame. Also, I did a bunch of sick resurrection saves. =)

I'm always drunk. I'm a banker and therefore I'm either drunk on the tears of the suffering or drunk on vodka. Either way its a clear liquid that I live on.

Thanks Ma!

agreed, ima have to apologise here, it sounded like a fun thing to say to tease a friend... and a forum post is not appropriate for that at all

@Buzzell, i like you you know. even if i did let u die a few time while power leveling you

@mowuffe It wasn't taken as harshly by me as it was by others. I mean we do play all the time.

@buzzell

Doesn't everyone play better when their drunk? No? Hmmm. Might have to rethink that. BTW nice Weapons throw build your running there, just find a place for hammer of the ancients to finish the elites and you got something.

@mowuffe, @baldy, @Anuiran

Yeah, some times we say things that get taken out of context or misconstrued but in the end we are all one big RMT family that is willing to forget our other family member's mistakes and faults. Oh and if you disagree with this you can kiss may ass. :)

For some reason, this statement makes me like you even more. ;-)

Not in a gay way, not that there is anything wrong with that!!

@baldy

I appreciate the sentiment (no [filtered]) rofl

Just realized I said "may ass" haha

@baldy @euggie @StukThrtl nice late night effort last night, guys. It was a fun attempt.

To give folks an idea what kind of DPS your group might want to avoid enrage timers- We were able to take out ZK/SB, but SB enraged at the end and took out 3 of us. We had 2 CM WZ I think around 60k and 80k DPS, and a monk and barb around 100k DPS. Obviously skill choices will affect this, but you may want to get a bit higher group DPS before attempting them.

Both WZs were using stretch time (which does stack) for better freezing, but maybe the 20% damage rune would have done the trick.

so @baldy, @sabin, @Stukthrtl and I attempted mp10 as well last night and we did not fare well either...
we had 2 cm/ww wiz, barb and monk... we killed sb and kulle fairly easily... although sb enraged at the end
we couldn't make much head wind against maghda and SK

HOWEVER, @sabin discovered that slow time stacks!
normally 1 wiz would use IAS and the other would use dmg, but if both use IAS, then you get double the boost
the little hourglass buff icon you will see a little 2 if you're getting booth buffs

Nice try guys. And yes, that bubble does stack!
