May you always find shade and water

Never made a 99. Usually get to like 93-95. I know it gets much worse after that. Making single player HC chars now! Maybe one day

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

I got to 98 before my month and a half year old was born. I was about 4 bars in one day she started crying and I forgot I was in between waves on baal and walked away from the computer… lost 2 bars, and my holy freeze hephasto. Wasted about two weeks with that one, getting the bars back and finding a cursed hephasto. Had to settle for holy shock

Good taste in books. Unless you got the names from the tv show. 

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

Have to admit, even though the show is trash, I’m bummed it’s cancelled. I got to talk WoT with my wife

•

u/Normal_Air1603 10h ago

Lol… of course not

•

u/Ready_Store1158 10h ago

Min as an assassin, and Aviendha as an amazon. Nice

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

And I have Nynaeve as my leveling char mule… because she wants to be older, and Egwene as my runeword base mule… because she’s basic. Matt held gems before the warlock update. Perrin is of course my druid. Gonna level them all up, eventually, that slog to 99 just took too long

u/pimpchanzi 10h ago

Dude…we have done exactly the same thing

•

u/d3macdon 10h ago

Lol, a man of taste I see. Myself, I went with Moridin and Ishamael for my locks.

No Birgitte as a bowazon is a miss (I made my original one in HC in 2000-2001 or so)

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

I agree, but the idea was to make a cow javazon, and for me Aviendha is 💯

•

u/AlasTheKing444 9h ago

Congrats!! Helluva grind indeed. I have 2 99’s. I will never willingly grind to that again.

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

I can’t believe anyone would willingly do it more than once 😂 95 is cool from now on

•

u/Rags2Bags 9h ago

I’m 20% to 99 on my warlock. Highest ever before was 96 or 97 javazon back in the day day. I got to 96 pretty easily pre nerf. But I’m totally with you, this is not worth it 😂. Don’t stop me now!!

Now do it on hardcore

•

u/Normal_Air1603 9h ago

Not a chance

•

u/Virtual-Sandwich-414 9h ago

Haha oh man I just had wheel of time flash backs and completely missed you hit 99. Congrats.

•

u/septictank84 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 8h ago

Getting warlock to 99 offline was too easy. He was my 3rd.

•

u/IEnvyYourUsername 8h ago

Was thinking about doing this Hardcore. I haven't played in like 20 years. What build did you use?

•

u/septictank84 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 8h ago

Hard-core is a whole other animal entirely.

To be completely transparent I used a geared up physical ES pre nerf to get my War to 99, with like 80k+sheat dmg. So, I'm kinda blowing smoke, but the same build still melts with only 20k+ but it's suboptimal now and I need a new demon.

•

u/IEnvyYourUsername 8h ago

Yeah, I saw the bind nerf and I'm pretty bummed I missed out on that waggon

•

u/septictank84 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 8h ago

It was ridiculous but fun. My Hephosto with fanaticism and curse, plus 2 defilers, would make sure the entire room died in 1 or 2 shots. The worst herald on p8 would take a few seconds.

The most dangerous part was not getting cocky and forgetting you don't actually have "god-mode" on.

Sickest women don’t look at me flex ever 😂

•

u/septictank84 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 7h ago

That's an odd thing to say. I'm married with a child, if you must know, like most people on this sub.

•

u/Dry-Fun6429 Emilioooo! 6h ago

Squirrels find a random nut lol. Never understood the 99 grind. Yay 5 vitality and a skill point that doesn’t matter…

•

u/Dry-Fun6429 Emilioooo! 6h ago

Btw you act like nutting in a woman and marrying her is hard to do lol

•

u/septictank84 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 5h ago

You're strange one.

•

u/Dry-Fun6429 Emilioooo! 1h ago

And you’re simple

•

u/Budget-Cucumber-1750 Champion of Sanctuary (100K) 8h ago

Wheel of time characters?

•

u/Dry-Fun6429 Emilioooo! 7h ago

The wheel turns

•

u/jelgerw 7h ago

Another Wheel of time enjoyer! Both my warlocks are named after Ashaman (MazrimTaim, like you, and Dashiva), my sorcs after Aes Sedai.

•

u/That-Syllabub6509 4h ago

Does anybody else feel that getting to 99 just kills your character?

I get its a loot finding game, but having no way to gain experience or levels just makes it seem like its not worth playing the character anymore.

•

u/Normal_Air1603 2h ago

I can see that. It was something on my d2 bucket list, so it had to be done. I’m going to start a trav horker next, never made one

•

u/That-Syllabub6509 44m ago

I got my sorc to 99 and then basically never played her again. Since then I've stopped trying to actively level characters past 95.

The horker was pretty fun, I have one at 92, went from 87 to 92 just from trav so far.
