YASD (going for 12th rune)
Posted: Monday, 12th September 2011, 04:27
I don't normally post my YASDs, but this was my best character to date, ever since my previous wizard grossly underestimated hellion island. With maxed dodge and shield I was rocking upper 40s in both shield and evasion when buffed (and mid-low while not) and my armor was not terrible. However, for hells I had to put aside my +10 pearl dragon armor and wear the regular stuff since I had little luck finding rF gear.
So there I was in Dis 7. I had had little trouble before between tornado and a great blessed blade, when I see this tentacle thing. No worries, I had already killed a couple and this was basically alone. So I charge up and take a couple of swings when my health, which had been full, suddenly dropped to 85%. I was concerned so I tried to swing at the iron gargoyle next to me to heal up, nothing. I look at my messages and I see, shit, I am paralyzed. Space bar scrolls me through a mass of hits, I do it again, then a 3rd time. I am now at ~35% health and rather nervous. Space through another page of hits again and I am at 14 health and still paralyzed. With nothing else to do, I hit the space again, and I am dead.
Full hit points to dead in the duration of one paralyze. This is with an uncanny resistance to hostile enchantments. It is a rather unique feeling to pick up 11 runes, and spend 170k turns (plus about 12-15 hours of real played time) and go from totally fine to dead without being able to do anything about it.
Here is the morgue.
