I'm working Saturday night. I really don't think I have a preference between assassin and warrior. Was the Flashing Blades assassin that I used in UW considered a DPS build? Hmm... perhaps I'll have to run some tests tonight. Any advantage to either of them?

Yes, it was a DPS build. Others basically involve choice of elites. I'd say that Assassin will be best in this setup--HB warriors are good if you have several and coordinate the rest of the build (Mark of Pain, etc). At the moment, we don't have the buffs that make HB warriors great, so the 'sins will be stronger.

And it sounds like it's going to be FRIDAY! Can anyone not make it tomorrow?

[Kiwi]

I'm not sure! D: I mean, I could make it, but I think I'd be killed if I went out without Curt, although he -could- finish GoW2, possibly... but that's usually our night at AIAB to SF4 it up. (Need more acronyms...)

I guess I -could- do it... as long as it's fast, or something.

[Jupiter]

OK, I can TC with Techno, GD Weap, BUH (tehe), or any of the summons (I just had to throw that in there you know) or I'll be happy to prot monk with lots o' honeycombs!
Does anyone have map pieces anymore? My ele is close to the next level of delver and that quest would be the fastest way to put her over.

Oh and I'll start gathering 4 Armors (f/ consets) if that's ok?

[Khunlin]

Kiwi: Hopefully it will be quick! I'll be getting home at 6:00ish, so hopefully everyone else will get on early!

Jupiter: Good! GDW is a must (unless Kaiser has it)--so you can choose to drop either Techno or BUH for a Summon if you want. Make it a good one!
And yes, I have over 65 full map sets. You're welcome to have one. Or 30. Hooray for keg bombing.

I will pick up four Grails. Anyone want to get Essences?

[Kaiser]

I should be around tonight. I hate having my schedule so up in the air...

Unfortunately I won't have time to make changes to my character. I plan to run the smite monk, but I don't know what his levels are afa PvE skills. I may or may not have Tease (don't really remember), but I do know that it is still possible to Boon Smite in PvE, so I might go that route.

I'll just have to see what is available to me when I get home tonight.

Any note on what skills you want my sin to run? You mentioned either just a plain DPS or scythe sin, so I was wondering if you had anything particular in mind.

[Triia]

I'll pick up the essences. Just need to go collect a few feathers....

[Khunlin]

Kaiser: Can you also check on LoD? I had thought that the nerf was PvE/PvP, but it looks like it was just PvP, so that skill could work well.

@assassins: This goes for either of you:
Awesome 'sin builds that would work in this team involve damage buff PvE skills (BUH!, Asuran Scan, Aura of Holy Might (for scythe), I am the Strongest! etc.)

And you either bring daggers, with lots of fast attacks for triggering all of the damage buffs on you: Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, Death Blossom for damage, and Exhausting Strike to interrupt. Critical Eye for energy. Choose an elite: Flashing Blades for tanking/AoE, Moebius for some damage (not as great with this chain, but still works), Shadowsteps for awesomeness, etc.

Or, scythe: Reaper's Sweep and Vow of Strength are the stronger two elites. Bring the damage buffs and Eremite's and Mystic Sweeps for fast attack speed, as well as Way of the Master/Critical Eye for e-mgmt and constant, MASSIVE (100-200's, sometimes 300's but not likely in HM ;D) criticals.

Guess who's BACK?! (Hint: NOT Axl Rose)

So, I, for one, enjoyed the FoW run, and it sounded like the experimental builds worked (for the most part? Sorry Kaiser )... but now I'm back in Tucson and this means that once again you are all responsible for my entertainment.

I think I'll need this weekend to catch up and such, but starting next weekend(ish)... what's next? It sounded like Triia and I were the only ones interested in the new characters thing, so we'll probably sort that out on our own (let me know if you want to tag along). From what I remember (being to lazy to go check) our other ideas were dungeons (particularly Duncan) in NM or HM... and... something about unicorns?
I'm up for anything as long as we make it suitably epic, for example (stream of consciousness GO!):
Crazy finish-Guardian spree where we pick out like 5 missions someone needs and R-R-R-RAMPAGE with consets and awesome builds and stuff.
Normal mode Protector spree with consets and naked wanding Conjure/Frenzy elementalists...
I don't think we can possibly make Urgoz/Deep any more epic than they were with all of those minions, so that's probably out...
Titan quests with epic and/or old school builds...
Finish Sorrow's Furnace?
Vanquish spree (pick some chained areas and do them in a row)

Aaaaaand class is starting so BYE!

[Kiwi]

I don't know and I'm not qualified to make decisions on my own D: SOMEONE MAKE A DECISION AND SHEPHERD ME is my official vote.

[Khunlin]

Well, Kiwi has just offered to sponsor the first annual Kiwi Gives All of his Money and Stuff to People Contest. Whoever gets the most of Kiwi's money and/or stuff wins!

[Kiwi]

Wait, no! That contest sounds horrible! I guess I'm just lucky none of you know my pas-- wait... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'd be for this. I still need to do that stupid quest with the Dwarven monk, so I can get my Black Moa chick egg hatched.

[Kaiser]

Wait, there was a plan to start new characters? Why wasn't i told of this? I love starting new characters (remember my miniMonk and our tour through Factions?). The problem with starting new characters en masse is that Jupiter inevitably says that we can't go on without the rest of the group, so those characters don't get played - then we find out that no one else in the group feels the same way, so our characters get left behind. Would be fun though.

[Khunlin]

Well, I'd suggested it at the beginning to no response, but I believe that you were away when I asked on Vent and Jupiter just spoke for you guys. I think that, if we were to do new characters, we'd want to pick a weeknight on top of maybe one night per weekend. It would take a long time if we do it only on weekends (unless we're EPIC). If we still have a few interested, I'll make a wee thread.
