Sorry if I sound like a complete spaz but I was wondering what you mean by "twinked"? I'm pretty new to the game, only been playing for about 2 months so I'm still catching up on the jargon.

Twinking is when you give your character gear and items you've already found with other characters, instead of only using what that one character finds.

Some people who like challenges don't like to do it, even though the game is designed for sharing equipment between characters. It makes it harder when your toon only uses what he/she finds for himself.

Twinking is a term you'll see used in pretty much any action-RPG with stashes.

Thanks flix, I guess that makes me a twinker lol.

Seems it was a weekend for dying a lot :/ The MI-hunter report:

Ela Regnig took her first death in Legendary. Swarmed by storm-enchanted harpies and crows, it was a loosing battle right from the get-go. But, she kills 3xPoly in a blink of the eye, so I have her parked at the first rebirth fountain past Megara. I work along the beach back to Poly, killing all the wraiths along the way, and ending with the boss Cyclops. No Sapros or Tenderizer yet, but I did get 2 Ethereal items on back-to-back runs. I think 57 Wraiths is the best run out there, no?

I got bored of running the Valley of the Kings with my Druid and Magician, and each took a couple of deaths on the road to Chang'an. WTF, Barmanu... I don't do anything (petmancing or trapper) and you send meteor showers my way? I have a few choice words for that mofo. Good learning experiences, I suppose, as it is hard to keep track of what each of them is doing, and who they are aiming their killspells at; it just irks me that I didn't aggro him and I get 3 avalanches atop my head. I should head back to Egypt, I almost have the locations of the Gilded Skeletons memorized now so I can just concentrate on killing them, and not grinding out the entire valley.

Well, now that those deaths are out of the way, I can play the HC toon for a bit

When you do, can you post a little guide here please?

[essjayehm]

@ Shalie - I will, no worries. I just need to test the "game seed theory"... totally exiting the game and restarting so check on on which monsters spawn in each location. So far only 3 of the tombs are "worth" going for, but I will put more time in before saying exacly which ones and which room, etc.
I wish the Act 3 gilded had the Revenant stuff, they're much easier to find

Ela Regnig took her first death in Legendary.

Well, I think Ela Regnig should team up with my Norse hero Ydnarb. I've got Freezing Blast, so I can whip us up some ice as well. Now that's a killer co-op combo :-)

(Runs off to drinks cabinet, salivating.)

[essjayehm]

Nah, don't ruin your liquor with any of that crap!

I don't think that you want to do physical damage with freezing blast, as it gives 85% damage resistance (IIRC) to the frozen targets.

Hrm, that may be a nice idea for a bleeding build? Knife/Bomb/Slice 'em, then watch them bleed out encased in ice
Bloody Satyr, please. Extra olives (poison DoT).

[Zaptue]

Right on Essjayem ! If my dreamkiller and physical warlock bleed builds both fail in legendary, maybe I'll try a sorcerer hehe. It's too bad poison and bleeding don't work with ADCtH; that would make DoT builds just enough stronger imo .

[Asheron]

@Zaptue - hey man, just came across Stymphalian Talon (again) and just thought to suggest it to you for your bleed build. It gives less +%bleed dmg, but it's a sword, meaning you can use it with Rogue's proc skills and Lethal Strike, which I think is fair deal
Although I thought for a moment that Tiamat's Horn is an axe... But TQ Collector confirms my suspicion, it's a mace.

As for myself, I rarely played rarely, but I do now and then. Mostly farming a bit, which is so mind numbing... I admire any human being that can do it longer then 20-30 minutes.
