Kwaiii IF i keep him off timer, lets see if i run him tuesday night that to late... hum You running a sroud tuesday morning bold? say 8am PST or 11 EST ie in um 8hr's

Any way as i was saying...

Kwaiii - usfull skills = stuff dont hit me and I kill it good Tempest monk dule min2 kama's with force points. AC unbuffed 70, self buffed 79 for 4mins, 78 after that. (need more madstone booties)

TBH I'm still tryign to figure why it took them soo long, only triky part will be the crystal in part 2, I'll maby see if I can find GCB bow then I can mainshot it darn fast... any one got a spair GCB bow


P.S. I think it should be doable in under a HR with the right monks myself.

That should be just about the time I run my first shroud of the day.

[query]

but I wish you luck and DO have people that have other non pures for the above need for scrolls, wands, etc. DO bring those pots as mentioend too.


And I hope you win JUST to stick it to the, "To win in the Shroud, you MUST have a party with this EXACT number of classes and MAYBE one or two floaters:"

hehe I just love how soo mainy peopel bash monks, (or bards as healers or you know what i mean), but often when I do crazzy things liek the cleric less VoD elite, or the like, these things WORK becasue of the those classes, (the above have 3 monks, one tankgin sulu)...

Yep, I'll be talking to him this morning

what makes meleeing harry a pain for my monk is that the curse of healing (that normally hits me for 2 or 4 pts a shot) doesn't work on harry - normally my 73 ac (no ranger or bard in the group) means he wouldn't hit me as fast as I can self heal, but with lack of healing curse it's a pain

recommendations to the group to bring.

1. Bring lots of heal scrolls. More heal scrolls than you thought. 500 at least.
2. Everyone bring pots, lots of pots
3. Bring a transmuting bow of greater bane - or whatever your ranger uses - even without ki and without proficiency you'll be doing more dps than a shuriken, unless you have a greensteel one.

The way we did part 4 was to send only about 4-5 monks in each time (because of lag) and keep some people out just standing around, or healing the monks in the middle. We made sure we fogged Harry (with solid fog clickies, but bring CK scrolls, obscuring mist, stinking cloud etc etc if you have them). Bring strength sapping wraps to hit him with to exhaust him. We also left 1 devil alive between each round and kited him until everyone was fully healed. We had 1-2 monks per compass point so the gnolls went down as fast as possbile - no point having harry healing himself.

It took 9-10 rounds (I forget) but each time we were steadily beating him down so it was just a matter of time until he died (no mana bars to worry about running out of).

Part 5 - ideally if you have 3 high AC people then surround him - I found that when I was the only one attacking he would run around too much so I wasn't really able to get stable dps on him... 3 high ac monks up against him would be nice, especially if your UMD users have mass cure scrolls handy.

Use fogs and ck to conceal him, very useful for mitigating incoming damage.

Don't overestimate how many people you can send in during part 4 - if you send too many people in the lag will just get you killed.

Good luck!

p.s. hope you don't get a nasty pull in part 2 : we got devil, fire, gnoll and orc.

Yeah, It definitely sucks that healing curse doesn't work, but you don't know how many monks I have run into that don't even know about the mass heal after 3 fists of light, that will be like 8-10 guys spamming mass cures, which is nice. I'm hoping that time of day lag won't be a huge issue, should be the only thing that kills us

[Boldrin]

Binky - is that another word that should be banned? Sounds dirty.

It does sound dirty doesn't it, lol. It's a baby pacifier, lol.

Stil nto sure why they had to go and make harry/sulu imune to this would not be game breakign in any way just a nice littel adition...

Now go back to casting mass cures, removing their stat damage and raise the cleric....AGAIN.

And my clerics Theam song:


Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee
Lousy with virginity
Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed
I can't; I'm Sandra Dee

Watch it! Hey I'm Doris Day
I was not brought up that way
Won't come across,
Even Rock Hudson lost
His heart to Doris Day

I don't drink (no)
Or swear (no)
I don't rat my hair (eew)
I get ill from one cigarette
(cough, cough, cough)
Keep your filthy paws
Off my silky draws
Would you pull that **** with Annette?

As for you Troy Donahue,
I know what you wanna do
You got your crust
I'm no object of lust
I'm just plain Sandra Dee

Elvis, Elvis, let me be!
Keep that pelvis far from me!
Just keep your cool
Now your starting to drool
Hey Fongool, I'm Sandra Dee!

why would u bash a bard for healing in a hi level quest and if the bard is spec right depends on build a bard is the cleric best friend take the standard 3 cleric and with bardic support you have 4 cleric with song and spells i always ask the cleric if they need help just ask and i stop ranging to help or if i see the cleric fall behind then i step up with my healing spells and a 100 heals and my ress scrolls i have many times brough a party back from the brink unlike a cleric my bard can burn a 50 ressurction scrolls and not flinch about the cost and as many heal scroll as req not to mention resconstion scrolls for the ten heads in a party a well played healing bard is truely a jack of all trades and if you dont want that in your party u need your head checked
