Pete's Brena's roommate, do you even have to ask? Pete is also my pet in Game. His name is Pete the Penguin. Hence the joke, which I think is cuhute of him to say.

How does Sunday evening (6-8 PM EST) sounds for everyone, for meet #2? Saturday's out of the question as I'm going home for Mothers' Day, but I'll be back by Sunday afternoon.
If anyone new wants to join, send me a PM by then, and I shall in return bestow upon thee mine IP address.

Sunday should be good for me.
I've been leveling my solo necro summoner. Unfortunately, he sucks against bosses... I couldn't solo the Countess or the King at Tristam, though I still finished those quests. When the corpses run out.... *SPLAT*

Well, of course you couldn't solo King Leoric. He's meant as a not-so-secret secret uber-boss, challenging to chars of level 30-40. That's why he's so far out of the way. The real, normal boss of Tristram is Griswold, down near where Cain's cage is. Don't go up to the cathedral in tristram til later Also: How did you finish the countess's quest without killing her? Or is HU set up such that one only needs to destroy the Blood Orb to get the quest complete?

Yeah, basically. I got the *british accent* bloody Bloody Wraiths */british accent* and the Countess far enough away from the Blood Orb so that I could whack on it unhindered (actually, I just hid in the corner and summoned my golem to do it for me).
Of course, this means no nice goodies from the missus... But there was still some loot that spawned after the orb died, which I battle looted and ran.
Those Bloody Wraiths still kept healing like even after the orb was dead. Do they have Vampiric Regen or somethin'?
And King Leoric is an uber boss? I got him down a quarter to a third of his life before my lifeless army died. And he doesn't have the 20-second heal rule applied to him. If there were lots of corpses outside the portal I might've been able to take him down (guess those fallen are good for SOMEthing).
I also picked up some nice gloves your pally will like Yiaz, as well as two parts of the Death set (sash and gloves).

1.) The Bloody Wraiths are invincible, but die immediately when the Countess does. They instantly recover any wounds inflicted upon em.
2.) Soulmancer (creator of HU) intended King Leoric to be a semi-uber-boss. He was added in the latest update(1.16), and I've not had much experience with him. It may very well be that Leoric is like the "uber-bosses" of b.net, all hyped up but pushovers if you've got the right class. All I know is that when my latest level 16 barb tried to solo him, i got wrecked, mainly because I had no way of healing myself quick enough to overcome his damage and still continue to attack at the same time. Hmm....I don't know....maybe either the barb is a bad build, or I don't know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to Leoric. We shall see when our party gets to 'im.

If you time it just right, you can run, shoot Teeth at him (got +3 from items), then run a little more. Two to four hits from his blast basically kills you (and the Amplify Damage effect it casts on you doesn't really help). A sorc would probably do better, I gave up with my Teeth cuz they weren't doing enough damage.

Try making a melee character and fighting him, dod. Since you have to stop moving around to damage him, it's 5000 times harder. His Holy Freeze aura + Amp Damage makes things living hell for a tank Also, this just in: They're going to be re-vamping HU and coming out with the final edition sometime soon, after a brief beta-testing sequence that's already in motion. Details are found here: arimyth.planetdiablo.gamespy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4215arimyth.planetdiablo.gamespy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4508It's going to be made even more challenging than before, and I'm looking forward to it. I definitely don't want to restart the party, but if it is possible I do wish to upgrade to it when it's finished.
