***-win!-***

[Arphod]

My first ever win, after 10+ years of trying, occured about one hour ago! Rejoice with me, my people! Played a melee-mage; I beat on Morgoth hand-to-hand, in the lower-left corner of 100 to take advantage of the perma-rock. Had all uniques killed except for about 7 or 8 of 'em, used Mass Banishment to clear the summons, and used Rune of Protection to keep Morgy from pimp-slapping me. A mana bolt got me to 19hp; had to change my shorts on that one. All the gear I had on I left the way it was. Behold.

Oh, and by the way, this is probably the wrong place to post this, so I apologize before I get wrist-smacked. I was really stoked, and I think I spazzed

Not a problem - I'm sure Pav will move it to the AAR forum if it's an issue. Congrats on the win - looks like I have a couple more years to go ...

[Zikke]

Congratulations! It's a good solid kit for killing Morgy. All a mage can do vs Morgoth is melee and banish, pretty much. I didn't think about standing on a Rune.... good show!

Lovely... I haven't won yet, but this is some inspiration. ^_^
