Babble Outcome Not too surprisingly, I failed. I did manage to do a point of damage to it though! Unfortunately, when I was at 100 HP, my 300 HP healing wasn't enough for when it double-moved. :/ Posted on 11.9.2005 09:20 Related character dump: Sexy Sukeban, L50 Golem Magic-Eater Comments?

My archer winner went after the babble after beating the Serpent, armed with the most accurate arrows he had. The babble won, but before it did, my archer managed to fire 40 arrows. Every single one missed. On 11.9.2005 22:23 dzhang@its.caltech.edu wrote: Elliot: I now it's doable, because I was able to do it with Wey, my Barbarian Life/Chaos Priest. He was much more sustainable than Sukeban, because he had 0% Fail True Healing for 28 SP (see his dump for details)... there was probably a decent amount of luck involved, but nothing extraordinary, since he did manage to fire off more than 100 arrows, and if you extrapolate from how far Sukeban got (1/6), it's doesn't seem that unlikely. I think we discussed this, but Accuracy on arrows matter very little against the Babble. I just brought tons of {average} arrows with me.

Is a +20,+20 Seeker arrow more likely to do 1 point of damage than a normal 1d4 arrow? On 12.9.2005 04:31 ralonso@au1.ibm.com wrote: I don't know coz I've never faced one so I thought I'd ask.... My Craft Monk is up to the Black Reaver in the Arena (chlvl 41 at the moment) - I'm scratching my head as to how I'm going to deal with the Babble (assuming I have a bit of luck and get past the Wyrm) (Obviously I'm going to wait till chvlv 50 and maxxed stats) - Any ideas? Currently I'm thinking I'm going to have to go with a setup using the Mirror (reflection) and hope I get real lucky with a poison needle - I don't like his chances though - Any other thoughts? Or am I doomed to trying to find a scroll of Artifact Creation the hard way?

If so, then it's probably worth using those. Ralonso: Unfortunately, Craft Monks have almost nil chance of beating the Babble (even the GWoP is tough). I don't think you can get close enough to the Babble to use the Poison Needle, so I'd actually recommend to go arrows... it's soemthing like 0.1% chance versus 0.0001%. If you've found the sword "Twilight," that's actually a really good weapon to use, because it both gives +10 speed and Fire Immunity. But in general odds are pretty glum against the Babble in the Arena, unless you have Nature (Wall of Stone), Trump (Dim Door), or Life (Healing/True Healing). And there's no such thing as "really lucky" against the Babble, I think... I at least have never gotten an insta-kill on it with the Poison Needle. Seen 1655 times. |
