My first gf's mom was right--i'm going to hell 8-)

my oh my.

this is a frozen game. i'm not giving details, since i can give the seed. some might like to play it.

this is one of the most exasperating, entertaining, agrivating, whateverating im games i have ever played.

easy levels have nasty ambushes. hard levels have good drops. bosses abound. resources abound, but only when you are about to get crushed.

a great game! you alternate between "i am god" and cold sweat. i want to play this one again with a team. it won't be a "real" im game, because i have played it, but i'd love to try it in a team dynamic.

anyway, clvl 21, going to 13. s/s ac 56, to hit 119, dam 27-36. bow-babe, ac 48, to hit (listed) 125, dam 21-34.

i have a goooood feeling about this one 8-).

15 clear and heading for 16...

...as soon as i figure out what equip config i want to be in 8-).

i can get my ac up to 111 and block like the dickins (171 modified dex) in tank mode, but tanks don't kill advs, and this leaves me with 0% fire resist, and you can't block splash 8-).

in bow babe mode i can get 145% listed to hit and 32-71 damage with 54% fire resist, so i can clean adv house from off-screen, but if a spam can gets in even 1 hit on me...

and i can't swap on the fly because it invloves 6 of the possible 7 inventory slots 8-).

i've been standing in town for 30 minutes swapping equip around, looking at stats, and going, "hmmmm".

oh well, better try something.

bow it is. a spam can should go down in 4 shots, and i ought to be able to keep them off me. i hope. heh. where is that apoc staff with 255 charges when you really need it?

--cy

ps--pot situation grim. dlvl 14 chewed me up and almost spit me out. fortunately 13 and 15 were a breeze, so i was able to save what didn't break on 14 for the big push 8-)
