So this morning I posted about yesterday’s experience with Brutus. \u00a0Rather than edit it to reflect today’s experience, I’d rather bring you along for the ride today.<\/p>\n
The baby barb took a beating at the hands of Brutus. \u00a0Using uppercut or pummel got as far as few bruises with ridiculous equipment damage. \u00a0In other words not enough damage output. \u00a0So what the heck can you do with a baby barb to improve the damage output? \u00a0Looking down the slist to level 42 I took a suggestion from Ardeth to give something different a try, I went and coughed up the cash for a lance in the barb home town and found out what hurdle is used for!<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, the health levels start dropping, the incoming chokeholds were pretty managable but boy oh boy the surprise rends hurt!<\/p>\n
Brutus Hammersmith is DEAD!!\r\nYou receive 15524 experience points.\r\nYou receive 31048 extra experience points for taking vengeance upon Brutus hammersmith.\r\nBrutus Hammersmith falls to his knees, defeated.\r\nBrutus Hammersmith exclaims 'you have bested me!'\r\nBrutus Hammersmith looks down at his fatal wound, and then up into your eyes, a saddened look wiping across his face.\r\nBrutus Hammersmith says 'Tell that vile woman I will see her in hell...'\r\nA finger is sliced from Brutus Hammersmith's dead body.\r\nYou get 1390000 gold coins from the corpse of Brutus Hammersmith.<\/pre>\nSince I was in gear that was quite easy to replace (yay levelling gear) I went ahead and just stayed stubborn and tried to drop him, well, I’ll pay the price by doing a tour of the realms for gear tonight.<\/p>\n
