Boss Kills

That sounds good. Try harder and you'll be able to outshine TomKatz himself. :thumb:

Good luck with doing SW and Laz
Using Purify as an uber boss damaging tool makes me die a little inside every time I use it

What character/build are these on, or is it multiple?
Also I must add that of all the charms I procastinated to get, the void was one I wish I hadn't.
I knew the teleport would be good for faster duncraig farms, but its beyond good, its almost mandatory in terms of speed farming imo. But this is solely dependent on your killspeed.

I think the most fun was finally getting MNX and probably the satisfaction of laz (still no trophy but only 6 lifetime kills -_-).

Meh, I never really understood the hate on purify. It was a good way to counter hackers and create a boss that had a more equal difficulty curve for most classes. From first glance purify might seem quirky, but it you look at it from diablo 2's engine and what's actually possible I think it was the right move to have atleast some difficult ubers that utilize such a skill.

Doing a sliver of damage to a boss with a spell timer of 10 seconds doesn't seem like the most ideal way of killing a boss. You have to have good gear or an Sin (up to 50% dodge) to deal with the startled witch's constant damage runes and pounce without dying in seconds which poses a problem for people who can't afford said gear. Laz constantly has you on the run spamming purify which would be fine if it didn't do ONLY 250 dmg, it would be preferred if it did something around 750-1000 dmg through shields, making the boss take 10 minutes or more to kill. Waiting shouldn't be the main part of difficulty of a boss in a game, it usually kills the excitement and becomes a boring chore that ends up with a negative outcome like the hate of purify you just mentioned especially since the damage is nothing to praise. Basically saying, I wouldn't mind using purify to kill a boss as long as I can actually make a dent instead of cutting them with a plastic knife before using another one.

(I would rant about the Triune's possession method due to it being even longer than the purify method [having to run through an entire uber level of elemental and physical hordes only to lead a really slow boss to another boss that can kill it] but thats for another time)

I always understood people with your point of view on it, and respect it

Most of the what laz/marco had in mind im sure was very limited by d2's engine, and this is why you see ubers with strange mechanics. It's a limiting factor, and thus limits implementation of the imagination.

Hopefully we will see an increase in diverse mechanics with sigma (from what I hear we will).

Ah, dead player base, shit economy.

This list isn't getting finished. I'm out, tired of playing solo on realms.
