Well it was a real pain in the ass to figure out and took a while, but Magnus, Wicked Witch, Lionheart and myself managed to kill the Orc Champ last night. I'll need to do it a few more times until I get a trophy from it to actually show off, but at least I got the skull I suppose.

Oh I might add that it is a great custom champ. Good job to which one or all that created it.

Nice. Did you figure out that using magic on it is a really bad idea? . The first time we did the orc champ, Oggra dropped his club. We rolled for it and Alvar ended up getting it in the end.

Thanks for the compliments. I can't remember the exact reason I ended up building the champ as it was a spur of the moment thing. Think I was filtering through the slayer groups and noticed a lot of orcs, then I was playing on the server and took a walk in the orc caves and it suddenly hit me that it would be neat to see an orc champ.

Well if you have a group to deal with the orc and stuff it spawns when you use magic on it, it isn't too bad, but it adds time to how long it takes to take the champion down. I won't spoil it just yet for people that haven't tried it yet, but even when you figure out his weakness it takes a while.

Not to mention when you do know its weakness it can still pwn you. I died twice!

I have yet to try it, I definatly will tonight since its friday! I'm hoping to throw in a bunch of updates that have been pending as well as a AI line of sight algorthm by SW so this should make things even more interesting. Mobs will manage walls better.

I don't think this champ could kill you. You seem to be able to survive anything *Cough* dreadhorn. Ilhenir might give you some headaches .

Holy war horse, and valorite dragon gave me issues. Well most of brunus' mobs I can't lol. And most of the demitels I can't, well not for long.

Paragon skeletal dragon gives me trouble too, and paragon AW, the regulars I can tank though. There has been major AI changes since the last time I played though, so maybe all that has changed. Explosion + meteor swarm can hurt methinks.

That would be Altar. I need to shoot Alvar for having a name so close to mine

Ahh speaking of Meteor swarm, that gets me into trouble with my AW sometimes. I was killing a swoop and my AW decided to meteor swarm the thing. Meanwhile a supreme dire wolf spawned right next to it. Also, a paragon Satyr was close enough. The stupid AW got all three of those to gank me and killed us both. hehe.

Anyway, the new AI and spell changes have added an interesting dynamic to the game. A lot of things that seemed easy, have become a bit harder and take a lot of different tactics.

Goes well with the extra gold you find on corpses. My bank didn't need all that insurance .

Haha yeah, actually I'll have to fix the code so area spells don't hit neutral mobs unless your karma is low. I believe it works for mobs that attack low karma people, but I did not consider neutral (aggressor fight mode). Since yeah hitting a satyr is not something you want to do.
