Smashed Priscilla!

Was easy in the end.. run in, take a swing then roll towards the latest footstep then roll away... repeated this a few times, had plenty of time to pop flasks and she was dead in no time. I think I already got her weapon as I'd read ahead, but if I missed it I'll get it next time around.

Next up, the Four Kings.

Maybe they have to change some coding to add a u to dishonoured.

18 days remaining... HAVING EXTREME DIFFICULTY WITH ALL THIS WAITING.

Just finished The Cost of Magic. Quest in The Secret World that's one of the most entertaining I've played purely due to the extreme challenge and rage-inducing moments.

Basically a couple hours long quest chain based around jumping puzzles and a single wrong move will have you do things like fall onto a mine, drown in acid, get smashed off a cliff etc.

I want to repeat it now. The experience reward was definitely worth it.

Man... finally found the Four Kings, this feels like the toughest battle yet. It's hard to even judge the distance for my attacks, let alone avoid the punishing levels of damage it can do.

Wearing: Crimson Robes (I have the Elite Knight set to around +3 to +5 but it's too heavy)
Ring of Favour and Protection
Divine Spider Shield +8
Lightning Spear +5

...but am barely scratching him. Should I take a weapon that does a certain damage (like my Furysword +3) or something that scales with my 39 Intelligence (like my Enchanted Sword +2 that has an A for Int scaling). Haven't really figured out weapon scaling as yet as I spend too much time tinkering with upgrades for achievement purposes.

Started playing Richard Burns Rally, holy ****, it's nuts.

Restarted Borderlands as Lilith hoping for a bit of up close action... Apparently this character is skilled for long range encounters mostly as well (I last played Mordecai). Still having fun though!

Also restarted Skyrim... trying the big bad warrior route. Sticking to the main storyline as I have trouble keeping attention to these kind of games. Going to visit the Greybeards

Doing New Game+ on The Darkness II, upped to the hardest difficulty this time. I **** love this game. Makes me super keen for Dishonored!

Still chugging away at HL2. Last thing I recall, we (Alyx and I) discovered some doctor is betraying us :\. I still have nfi what is going on

As a dex based fighter I did 4 kings by equipping the heaviest armour I could and 2 handing whatever weapon did the most damage. Just need to dodge some of the magic attacks, especially the grab. On my mage it was the easiest fight imaginable, Crystal Magic ripped threw them in seconds.

Hm, I don't remember that part. Been a long time since I played it.

Are you taking Best Friend Beatrice down with you? Because if you're not, you should.

I honestly don't know what to suggest, simply because I didn't really struggle with the Four Kings; My endurance was at a level where I could swing my massive greatsword all day and never tire, and it decimated them.

I know right! Even the Rally School last stage is nuts.. took me an hour or two of solid repeats to beat it.

Fantastic physics... never got too much into it though as it felt like I had to learn the tracks moreso than learn the driving mechanics... if I wasn't so into Flight-Sims I'd probably give it more time. I wonder if Cas is going to announce a tourney (or someone else could).

To Nudge: unsure how to judge weapon damage... based on just stats, my lightning spear +5 and +3 fury sword do the most damage... but I have an A for Int scaling on my enchanted sword, unsure what damage that turns into. With my heaviest armour on I couldn't run too fast (as I can't take off the ring of fav and prot without it breaking in order to wear havel's ring).

To Ezelek: nope, figured I didn't want to waste humanity on the fight until I'm confident in my strategy. My endurance is rather pissy, most points went into Int, the next most to Health and just plumped up my Attunement slots (now level 73 all up).


Perhaps I should do the Archive's first to get the Crystal magic from Logan? I know I've read comments that Four Kings is the first fight where Melee builds really come into their own.

I think it took me a couple of goes to get it but I managed it. But I used to love my rally sims back in the day. The game is hardcore though, literally one itty bitty teeny tiny mistake and you are off into the trees and having to restart the stage.

I like Orcs Must Die! 2 co-op, but pretty sure i like Dungeon Defenders more.
