22 Nights of Terror Holiday Event

I restarted playing again this month and I felt it was quite smooth sailing to 89, mainly doing MF runs and killing special packs along the way, also clearing TZ at times. I barely did any

Baal runs for example. Somehow it felt like the step from 89 to 90 took quite long though. Yesterday with the popular TZ available I filled up 1/3rd towards 91 quite fast.

To me, leveling past 95 is when things slow down dramatically. I did a few Throne Room runs with my Mosaic Assassin when the P8 online TZ event was on, and I barely leveled up at all, so I decided that 96 won't be happening

Wait to see the 98 to 99. Time seems to freeze. Offline, P8 with 8% XP

Annihilus. From my characters so far, the fastest to date is Mosaic Sin, the slowest being

Zeal Paladin.

L94 - L95 is when even non-Tz

Baal's runs start do give less XP than the worsts Terror Zones

Oh, I've had quite a few 99s back in the pre-1.10 LoD days. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad / boring doing the cows over and over again (with an EXP shrine, if possible) Granted, all my characters were decked out in hacked items, but still.

Honestly, I'd never even bother doing anything else but Chaos /

Baal TZ runs after 95.

Today: some areas permanently Terrorized

Act 1: Cow's,

Tristram, Catacombs
Act 2: none
Act 3: Durance of Hate
Act 4:

Chaos Sanctuary
Act 5:

Nihlathak's dungeon and Worldstone

So they seemingly f'd up something.

Last year was 19 Zones; yet this year they said "20" - but it is the same 19. Possible they left a the cap at '19' and forgot to increase it with the intention of adding a new zone but they misfired is my guess.

And yup thanks for the link.

Fortunately, thanks to Pavke's new XP Calc, it further validated that at clvl94 that is when you hit the major experience penalty wall for standard Chaos/

Baal runs and you begin to gain more exponential XP @ 94. At level 95, that is the absolute stop gap when you need to really start focusing on most if not all TZ Zones which are still going to be superior.

There always are a lot of dynamics involved such as clear speed, a group to play with, are you doing P8 XP, but P1 in the zone to gain the 4.5x bonus etc.

But I was pleased analyzing the data with Pavke's new calc that the prior video was still accurate and relevant.

All players get the

Teleport skill

Even my

Shadow Master is enjoying the

Teleport LOL

I enjoyed teleporting with my dragondin the last hours.

Today: 100% chance to cast a level 100

Meteor on Death

Hardcore players will love it I think.

Tomorrow will be the last event of 22 Nights of

Terror. I predict a second DClone day.

Being a Friday, it should be Gambling - however they did skip it on the first Friday and the most recent which is a first after 22 & 23.

My bet sticks with Gambling.

And yup, this event is stupid especially for my HC fam which I called out below (time stamped)

I tested the 100% chance to cast a level 100

Meteor on Death with

Andariel using a disarmed Paladin and mercenary. The lvl 100

Meteor did almost no harm at to

Andariel, so I think I can cancel the test I had planned for Diablo. It does make one point clear, there is no benefit to a

Rainbow Facet: Fire Death with lvl 31

Meteor over the level up version.

I've come to the same conclusion without running a test, but I'm still curious if each and every lvl 100

Meteor hit

Andariel she'd be even close to dying.

Probably not which makes this one of the most useless of the 22 nights of

Terror.

Yep, even a randomly cast on attack once per game lvl 100

Meteor would make more sense than this.

It should have been 100% chance to cast level 100

Meteor, level 100

Hydra, level 100 Blizzard, level 100

Frozen Orb, level 100

Chain Lightning and level 100

Nova on Death, all at once.
