[1.1.5] The third winner - Skeleton Archmage (Norm Adv)

#1 Post by anp »

Hello!
http://te4.org/characters/77557/tome/46 ... da3af2b224
It's been quite long since my last win as the minionless necromancer, because I've been trying to beat the nightmare but was unsuccessfull. So I decided to perform a relaxing normal run and chosen archmage. Why? I wanted to unlock the Wildfire tree cause it'd help alot on nightmare. Was I amazed when that I dealt 1M fire dmg (with this very char!) the tree was not only unlocked but AVAILABLE for my character! Of course, I started to max it out asap, and kinda succeed.
Well, kinda standard build I guess (though, I didn't see others); max fire, 5-5-5-0 light, then expromt. I got VERY good shields (up to about 1.8k); actually, lost my lives for noobness BUT then at the high peak I lost many lives for just fun - I got into the room full of demons, room with resurrecting sceletons and liches, etc :)
To mention, the strange thing that I saw THREE demon spawning portals - I cleansed one (got achievement), but when I cleansed two others, demons didn't stop to spawn so I gave up.
Please, check some funny screenshots from this run (they're in the steam cloud), if you like!
Haha, the most epic moment was, of course, the FINAL BATTLE! I'm really too old for this shit :D So I killed the corruptor (as fire mage you do dmg over time so the bone shield is not a big deal) and the 2nd one killed me :( with my last life :C and then I was about to click "Restart with the same character" but saw the resurrection option which is granted to skeleton <3 So then I was hiding like 20 turns waiting while my sustainables would cooldown, and then finished the battle (as always, without disabling portals)!

I have to mention that:
1) After maxing the spellcraft, disruption shield anyway damaged me, I don't think it's supposed to be?
2) For the guy who started a thread not so long ago asking for lowering exp penalty - I got to the final battle at lvl47 (got 50 instantly after killing the corruptor) - you can check, I did 4 farportals, cleared death room. Didn't really farm anything, just you know, those orcs are everywhere. So what? I was just fine with the leveling.
3) In angolwen, this boy locked my path :( had to teleport / recall

4) In temporal rift, had to phase door ( controlled 8D ) to this smallie:

I love you guys, WANT your suggestions for the next run (ONLY NIGHTMARE)!

I see all these skeleton wins and I am so dissapointed I got ghoul instead the one time I made it to Deadfell :/

Here's to actually making it a second time...
Failed saving throw against terrible idea and opened the wrong door. Again.

That was me a few weeks back. It's not so bad; ghouls make amazing Paradox Mages, and decent Sun Paladins as well.
