Champion blog mate There's a limit on how many pictures TL will display per page unfortunately (I'm guessing 100), so that's the reason I had to separate it.

A note though: if you want to make playthroughs with quirky builds that dont have much devotion to any damage output, the pre-expansion patches are much better for this. Why? Because the monster life increase is much smaller per act, so act 4 hell monsters have around 1000 hp. And skills in general are balanced around smaller total ED and item bonuses, making an ungeared character better than the current (post 1.10) fucked up "balance" system | ||

so now i'm in hell. i'm level 75. i have an ilzan who is also level 75. he's wearing a unique mage plate and has 7k defense. 4 of corpsefire's zombie minions killed him despite my level 23 strafe suppression fire. i have a zephyr ceremonial bow: damage (28-60). this is pretty much the best thing i could put together after a zillion baal kills in nightmare. is there something i'm missing? why is everything in hell invincible and am i at the end of the road with this character? | ||

What is he using for a weapon? You might also want to upgrade his armor. The Treachery runeword is the ideal (the highest rune is Lem), and there are other upgrades to find. Also, having a valkyrie and decoy out greatly helps Ilzan's survival. Personally I think multishot is much better than strafe for dealing physical damage over an area. I wouldn't level strafe that high because and it locks you in place and you really need a good bow to make it hit hard. Also keep in mind Zombies have 50% Physical Resist, so you might be better off using your level 1 Guided Arrow against Corpsefire. Zephyr is really the best bow you could find? Not even a Skystrike? It seems that every time I go through Nightmare, I find a Kuko or Cliffkiller that I leave on the ground. lol Zephyr is a low-level runeword and ceremonial bow is a nightmare weapon, so that means your damage, especially with strafe, is going to be low. A maxed freezing arrow with maxed cold arrow synergy and +3 skills should hit for at least 900 cold damage per shot. Of course that doesn't help much against a cold immune zombie :C You'll need to upgrade your bow before you can clear hell easily. I'm not sure what runes you have, but the Harmony runeword is a good bow to make. The highest rune you need to make it is Ko, which you can get from NM Hellforge. You might have to go back and kill NM Andy/Meph/Shenk/Eldritch/Baal until you find enough items so you can kill in Hell. Sticking to only baal might not be the best way to find the items you'll need. You might even want to do NM cows to find some poison charms and others. | ||

 I always loved playing pallies! I never reached my dream set up though (and never found the item that was my ultimate goal: Tyraels Might, just seemed like the RIGHT armor for a pally since slain monsters rest in peace ^^) Awesome Blog! | ||
