I've just found a really cool trick when using multiple items with reanimate :P . When you use different items with reanimate or just an item with multiple reanimates , how exactly does the chance to reanimate work? Which reanimates will be picked and which won't. Well, I haven't fully figure it out yet, but I do have a theory. Let say, my full item sets give me:
+ 20% chance to reanimate as Skeleton
+ 5% chance to reanimate as Trap Rat
+ 3% chance to reanimate as Hello Retard
+ 1% chance to reanimate as Baal
When you kill a monster, the RNGesus will first pick 1 of the 4 reanimate, in this case it's the skelly. He has 20% to be successfully reanimated, if succeeded, a skeleton will pop out of the corpse. However, if it doesn't, RNGesus will pick 1 of the 3 leftover reanimate, then the whole process continues until either 1 of those reanimates succeed to pop out of the corpse or all of them fail and the corpse remain a useless corpse forever. So what is the trick? Let me tell you this, what if i tell you we can control which reanimate the RNGesus will pick. Yeah, it's possible, the trick is the order in which you put on your equipments. Don't believe me? don't worry, I have evidences. Expiriment no.1

In the video, notice the order in which I put my stuffs on. It's:
Vizjerei's Ritual
-> Crafted Helm with Trap Rat -> Crafted Gloves with Vampiress, Trap Rat and Alpha Centaur -> Crafted Belt with Trap Rat -> Fool's Gold (Yes, putting it in the inventory counts as "Equipping") with Shroom ->
Ghoul Lord
. The result is out of 5 sacrifices, I got Quov Tsin 3 times, which means that he is picked first by RNGesus for reanimation. Still not believe me? Here's the last nail in the coffin.
Expiriment no.2

Ghoul Lord
->
Vizjerei's Ritual
-> Crafted Helm with Trap Rat -> Crafted Belt with Trap Rat -> Crafted Gloves with Vampiress, Trap Rat and Alpha Centaur -> Fool's Gold with Shroom. As you can see, if my theory is true and RNGesus did pick the reanimate follow my order in which I put my stuffs on, he will first pick the Black Death for reanimation, and because Black Death has 100% chance to reanimate, it's always him who pop out of the corpse and nothing else. Believe me yet :P ?
*NOTES: Exitting the game and will reset your order to random again, so the next game you must re-put your stuffs on for this trick to have effect.

I would love to see Quov reanim in action if that would be fine :P

Been experimenting with uber reanim items lately (ex. Butcher's Cleaver, Seven Heads, ETC)

Warlocks moving around scares me a bit, if they could do that in trist it would have been game over. :twisted:

Anyway Quov looks like a lot of fun, especially in ubers like triune and duncraig (and maybe for keks quov vs quov :lol: ). I've yet to try out Shadowfiend and Butcher's Cleaver for punishment turret (150 RES BOOST OP) and butcher

Quov Tsin is the strongest reanimate in the game imo, however he doesn't use hive like the normal version, which is a shame :-8

Fun Fact: With punishment turret and enough life ( >12k) you can actually tank barrel in Duncraig or meteor in Triune without dying :lol:

I believe, DP from
Kahless
is stronger, but, sadly, it's now barb class-only reanimate.
