It's even harder early on to have enough life to survive and enough strength to wear gear. Use those chipped rubies! If you can survive early on, it becomes easier when Shiver Armor starts kicking in, and much easier when your Telekinesis is maxed and you can start knocking off 30% or 40% off every hit with Energy Shield. You really need to put all your points in Shiver Armor asap for the defense and because the Cold damage slows enemies and therefore reduces their melee damage. Later on, use lots of Sol runes to reduce the damage you take. You'll see a drastic reduction in your incoming damage. You can use a 4 socket Gothic Plate and a 3 socket helm filled with Sol runes to become literally invulnerable. 7 Sol runes adds up to a whopping Damage Reduced by 49! Most enemies in Nightmare can't even do 50 damage. Baal's Minions of Destruction deal 44-72 damage, and they're the strongest things in Nightmare. Combine that with the 40% from Energy Shield and you can go AFK in front of Lister. | ||

That said, the damage fire enchanted bosses can do on nightmare should not be underestimated. According to AS, they can deal up to 11.66% of their base health, which is up to 1190 damage in Hefatso's case, half of which is fire damage and half of which is physical. Other fun stuff such as auras and being cursed may then further up the damage taken... Bosses in hell difficulty only deal up to 1.25% of their base health worth of damage, which will no doubt result in the average fire enchanted boss appearing to do far less damage than its nightmare difficulty counterpart. Guess it's a necessary evil to prevent instagibs from those few super high health bosses that can be found in hell difficulty. Like many others I also took up arms again. I started an Amazon - I've never played one in single-player even after all these years. I'll be throwing pointy sticks, doing ye olde hardcore full clear stuff I'm used to. Wonder if I'll get killed by a fire-enchanted boss again. Or by the ancients. At least you don't have to worry about multishot-lightning these days ^^; | ||

Instead of a MELEE SORC... Make a SPELLCASTING BARB! Make a war cry barb, those are really fun, going to be a challenge of course since you won't have great gear. | ||

Make a war cry barb, those are really fun, going to be a challenge of course since you won't have great gear. War cry barb might not do any direct damage... for the longest time. I don't know, don't want to close out any ideas too early because Ghin obviously is thinking of one himself right now, right right? =) Personally I'd like to see a sin in action (martial sin or trap sin, I don't care). Phoenix strike (lightning) or a bunch of lightning sentries converging on single target might make some pretty screenshots. | ||
