if you want to top out drue's run, all you needa do is stockpile 400-500 medicines, about a 1/3rd or 1/2 that number red pots, then just smack down all the epic monsters on infi, good way to get yourself shot up onto the top 20 player plaque tank the whole lot roting every round until it dies, applying your medicine to stay alive, with reds when your low on sp high on hp, keep a lich or rev along for the extra free dmg, but dont screw around preserving them thats for sure granted its a whole different ballpark from the regular power run on anguish, but boy its fun I got #2 spot on the list the very first time i tried this (with pally - same principles), it would have been #1 (2m+) but valdrath killed me the first attempt, so I lost the 290k I had got from killing velox at the very start of the hour.. they normally reset by about the 40 minute mark if your lucky, so repeat the process until you either run out of meds or the 60 minutes is up once you get your nerves under control (i'll admit thats how i died fumbling with heals etc after being knocked down mountain, first time i'd tryed vally), velox and valdrath are a must for this kinda thing I'm outlining this here because I want more ppl to try it out, lets see how far we can push it... I think 3m is possible with a bit of luck! Hopefully by the time I get 500 there'll be a new top mark to shoot for

This is the part I always had a problem with the epic runs. I'm a xp monger not a bike messenger.
You guys with the patience to do all that ... insane.
Also I'm told that Drue kills Valdrath and Sydie almost every reboot to prevent his run from being beaten. Ok, I might have made the 2nd part up, he's probably just in it for the exp.
That's actually a good idea about the tanking part, if I were doing a run like that I would have been fumbling around with preserves on the undead.

yeh the stockpiling was the painful part (ignoring the valdrath death) and the main reason more people dont do it I guess. I got impatient and offered 1k per med, spent almost half a mil didnt have enough reds in the end either a few people reading these boards are probably going to be annoyed with me for sparking this convo because the more people killing val and velox the less stackage... just ask calvin about his last run, he most likely would have cracked 2m had he got full stacks on the epics from what I can tell it takes around 1.5-2 boots to get a full stack after each kill which makes it hard to monitor, but i guess there are ways to do it if your clever/dedicated necros should be more suited for this sort of run then a paladin, despite what people say. I mean a necro can get a rot, a hunga, his melee, plus his lichs melee (which i guess could be perma-hasted if your super keen) all per round. While the paladin cant use hungas, and doesnt have a lich. smite is probably equal to hunga+rot on the more evil kills, but definately not on stuff like thraxi anyway back to work!

Pillar's left nut. His right one can only on a good day, though. Pillar has some powerful nuts. Just look at how many hatchlings he has.

I don't have nuts. My wife keeps them in a jar and only hands them out when she feels like it.

If I had to hazard a guess,
I'd say the top Paladins, Drue, Nine, Rey; the top Rangers, or at least Kayne and Juanka; Tehlung and Calvin.

No, I've been considering giving it a whirl one day though.
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Litherium and Bazhi have done it for their recent HoH runs.

I think Juanka could do them if he tried, but I think he has only bashed Velox so far.
Litherium takes them down.
Even a little cleric can take Velox down after a long time, lots of hammers and lots of heals. Definetly not something that I will start doing "regularly".

LitheriuM 29 169 21 ON 52 % 321094 Leader SIXclaw 26 146 78 ON 47 % 287861
Had a bit of delay helping someone get their stuff from Thraxi.. and only got about half of a high guard worth of exp from that too.. I think that took a good 5 or so to fumble with for little reward in exp.. otherwise pretty massive carnage all things considered..
Gear and stuff.. we had pretty decent/nice stuff I guess.. partway through a bunch of stuff got donated to chaos vaults so lith had spidey with me holding nbc and a violet ring..
I think the interesting thing about this party was me using a staff of psionic channelling or whatever it's called from a thunt.. pretty interesting staff.. I don't think it was hitting very hard but it seemed to flash an awful lot and each flash gave back somewhere between 1-10(?) sps randomly.
pretty standard stuff on lich.. shiny pm, bcrown, bgloves, hboots, sheaths/hanger, silv talisman, gammy partway through, osword, fancy shield, turkey robe/brobe partway..
We went on longer than that hour but I had to reconnect since my connection was being more shitty than usual(and even reconnecting didn't seem to fix it) but it wasn't anything worth saving... blah blah... that lag + both of us getting tired = pretty crappy.. I lost two liches, one from just not paying attention from being tired nd the second due to lag *shudder* .. Needless to say, there was a few hours of carnage on AA last night
