Toowoomba, Australia

Level 32 now.

Found angelic halo, but the rings I already have are much better so have stored it in anticipation of more items from the set.

Whirlwind was very hard to use at the start but I'm getting the hang of it now. Hit a group of monsters and WW through them, then back, and a third time, any left get doubleswinged to death (which helps replenish mana)

DOwnside is I'm back to pouring through the potions again (mana primarily).

Tokk less time and effort to up the level this time whilst grinding, can't wait for level 35 so I can take everyone's advice and take on diablo.

Off to watch TV now...

I've said it before and I'll say it a gain finding the parts of the unique sets is very annoying.

Currently I'm wearing 2 items from one set (belt and boots)
Have saved another set of boots and a seperate set of gloves.
My merc is wearing a crown.
Also have the ring.
AND sold off Creglaw's shield a week ago.

I just wish that the liklihood of getting the same set was higher so that A: I didn't have to lug around all this rubbish. B: You don't sell one off only to find the next part a few days later....

Took a bit more this time, all act 4 (minus diablo) the council and all of the durance of hate.

I think tomorrow I'll just go from the river of flame way point, clear it, restart and repeat 3 times. Should get me done, rather than fiddling around like I have.

Question for you D2 experts, where is the best place to get Chipped Gems? Currently playing though Nightmare and I have a shield w/ 2 sockets that are filled. Trying to use the Cube to clear the sockets now I just have to find a Chipped Emerald. Any suggestions of where to go? Thanks.

brotherskeeper74: When I need chippies, a good place to go hunt is to do repeated countess runs on normal. Eventually one of those boss packs will drop one that you need. (Might as well get some low runes to cube while you are at it...) As well, you can "waste" gem shrines that you come across in the Black Marsh to spawn a random chippy.

keezus: thanks for the advice. I will give a try here in a couple of minutes.

Here's a question for you all: If one were to take a Barb or a Pallie, could one be successful at this game if they didn't spend their skill points? Just concentrait on Str., Dex., Health and equipment?

Just curious.

I've been getting an absolute bucketload of gems throughout act 4- usually 4-5 every time I run it (without checking chests etc)

Found a chipped sapphire last night (finally), let me combine 3 chipped, which gave me the flawed to join 3 to make a sapphire, whicg gave me the 3rd to make a flawless, which gave me the third to make a perfect.

Opened up alot of space.

brother's keeper: I made a druid that stockpiled skills until he was clvl 40. He was so incredibly feeble in Act IV onwards, that his merc was a much better killer than he was. (Mostly AR problems, since the druid would still do 200-300 damage per swing of his bonesnap).

When I cashed in his skills, his damage from his "skill" jumped his output well over 1000 dmg per casting of tornado.

Half way to level 33.

Took an hour to grind to that.
Need to stop as the wife wants facebook. :(

Found an absolutely fantabulous mace though, with about 8 or 9 abilities. I'll look at it again tomorrow night and post it.

However it does have open wounds... anyone know what that does?

It causes monsters hit to bleed. It's a damage over time, like poison. I think it doesn't affect undead.

My personal best character was a level 75-ish elemental druid. He sucked until I got Hurricane at lvl 30. After that, everything was a breeze (pun intended) until I got to Hell. Once there, all it takes is one crowd of physical immune and cold immune monsters to screw me over.

Finding this thread has made me consider re-installing D2, but Fable 2 just came out. I'll be spending my free time kicking chickens and buying houses.

I don't trade much unfortunately... This ladder season has yielded my strongest characters - though my playing has dropped off as of the last few weeks...

clvl88 trap assassin: 2.5kish max lightning sentry with 1k damage firebomb secondary with MF gear. Solo'd through hell, but haven't killed Baal yet. Had some trouble until I improved my merc equipment.

Equipped items of note: Bartuc's cut throat, +2 skill claw socketted with 2 resist all jewels for +16 resists - Jade talon on weapon swap - rest of gear is magicfind. Alt combat gear in stash includes 2 +3 trap claws, nat's armor and boots. Merc is armed with ethereal colossus volgue socked with "insight" runeword, duriel's carapace and vampiregaze

clvl 81 skeleton necromancer

Wow this guy is just nuts. Easily soloing hell - though hasn't faced his first test at Diablo yet. slvl31 skeletons and skeleton mastery. High level (slvl 29)corpse explosion is stupid good. Trouble with skeleton necros is that tight spots take forever to clear. Maggot lair and arcane sanctuary were very painful.

Equipment of note: Haemonculus socketted with p-diamond!!! I was so pumped when this dropped. Trang's armor, +2 necro rare wand, +1 necro circlet with 30% faster run walk... (combined with Nat's boots and Trang's armor, he has 100% increased run walk... which is awesome).

Mercenary: "Insight" cryptic axe, shaftstop and uh... rare helm I guess... I forget.

I just started my elemental druid. He's low clvl, but I can see why people make wind druids. He's a beast.

Haven't found any good runes this season though. Best I managed was Um. Hellforge dropped crap. I think I got Ko one time and my necro got a Pul I think. Other cool finds:

Also managed to find Eaglehorn and the Occulus, though neither are very rare apparently. Need Skulder's Ire for my assassin baddly, and only need Aldur's Deception to complete set... even though Aldur's set is terrible.

It's an RPG. Grinding is what makes upn the meat of the game.

You want fancy items?

You want to beat the next boss?

You want to stop dying?

To do that you need to be better, and to be better, you have to grind.

Well I got jack of running through act 4 for ever slower grind, killed diablo without too much difficulty and then onto act 5.

I'll grind out act 5 quest 1 a few times to up me to level 36 before I move onto further quests.

Already did it once in 25 minutes and up a level. Much better than an hour long grind.

1.2 million xp to next level. :(

So the act 1 chick won't imbue any of my decent items (there is a sweet mace I'm carrying) does she only imbue 'normal' weapons.
Will the 5th act guy socket them? (I haven't tried)

I'm looking for skulls to get a flawless one to socket in somewhere for life/mana bonus...

I've been chucking my magic find charmes as they have been 10%, 12% etc, I'd rather be adding damage/improving stats than fiddling around with those numbers.
