-The Silent Spearman (11/7/00)
I don't think we can do it. But Druss says we can. So I'm going
along and
bringing every OUNCE of power my character brings to the table.
I wish I
had Druss' indomitable spirit in the face of certain doom =)
Let me give you a quick rundown of the monsters we'll be facing.
Flare- Tiny Fire elemental....very easy
Flamma- Cake for me, but trust me when I say that they're no laughing
matter
to a LV 35-40 character who is distracted
Inferno- LV 126 Fire Elemental...tosses vulns, drains, has high
Melee
Defense (about 350), drains aggressively when it gets hurt. Hits
hard for
fire damage. These spawn Flammas and Flares if you can believe that.
One
of the EASIER monsters.
Firestorm- Take an Inferno, raise the level of drains and vulns
by one,
raise the attack power 50%, raise the Melee Defense by about 30
points, and
you get this guy. Tons of HP, hits harder than hell. I hit these
about
half the time with 330 Spear Skill and HS V
Magma Golem- The easiest of the monsters out there, if a Magma
can even be
called easy. Expect mad bludgeoning damage, LV 5 War, drains. Frost
does a
lot to these though and they are easy to hit, so they are indeed
the easiest
monsters.
Vapor Golem- Don't ask. If you are using your weapon, you need
Melee skill
of 345 and HS VI to hit even 1/10 of the time. No joke. If you are
using
your bow, you'd better have Bludgeon Protection VI and Impen VI
on your
armor, because if not it will Bludgeon you for damage in the 100's,
using
Melee skill of 350+ and attacking every 1.5 seconds. Obscenely fast
for a
Golem. They Imperil and vuln. They also cause framerate problems
on some
systems and generally are horrible opponents. Magic Resist is high
enough
to resist Acid Sin 50% of the time or more AFTER a Yield. Tons of
HP,
Stamina, and MP. Level VI War as well, with no wind-up time.
Hellfire- I'm not even going to tell you about the guy we have
to kill to
get the Infusion. Let me just say that I bet if all of us attack
it, we
will die and it will still be at 99% health when it is over. Pedro
can back
me up on this. If there is anything tougher than a Vapor Golem,
this is it.
Comments Pedro?
Regardless, I am going and I'm prepared to throw myself into the
maw of the
enemy if it means a chance at the Infusion! Who know? Maybe it will
be
easier than I think?
