It sounds absolutely awful to actually do one full-clear of everything though but it seems like it's a decent off-the-wall concept that can get the brain flowing into making all sorts of random-ass builds. | ||

So I maxed out holy shock and zeal. I also got one of the shield's (i forget which). But with deadly strike, I killed bosses in seconds. I think you mean crushing blow. Deadly strike won't help your shockadin much. | ||

It has cold and physical damage so not much immune. high mana consumption, very low dam output without many +skill items, rather tedious to level to 30, not few of the ci//pi monsters in hell happen to be ci/pi dual immune. not really a good build for playing singleplayer imho. | ||

20 Warmth 20 Enchant 20 Fire Mastery 20 Shiver Armor (or another one?) 1 for Tele/Static and for all prereqs Rest Cold Mastery? And what merc should I go with to help against the widest array of enemy immunities? At first I thought A3 light merc, but then realized that Fire/Light res monsters would be a real pain in the pa-toot. Then I thought of A3 cold merc, since Fire/Cold res monsters could at least be Staticed down to half health. After that I would have to smack them with whatever weapon I can grab. Of course an A2 Merc of some sort could also work, but I'm not quite sure if he would be superior to the Cold A3 merc. However, he would also benefit from my enchant for extra killing speed on monsters that I don't have problems with but I'm more concerned about those that will be major pains .As far as stats go, I'm planning on: Strength: Enough for gear Dexterity: Enough for 75% CTB Vital: All the rest Energy: None (obviously ).So I guess what I'm asking is: what merc should I use? Do you guys see any skill changes that would make the game slightly easier? I really don't want to be a caster who sometimes melees, I want to be a meleer who might sometimes cast. | ||

I plan on making my most recent sorc a SP enchantress. I think it would be fun to play the sorc in a "Battle Mistress" role compared to how I'm used to playing her. I will be doing HC to add a little bit to the challenge (and because SC just gets boring after awhile T_T). Here is what I have planned right now: 20 Warmth 20 Enchant 20 Fire Mastery 20 Shiver Armor (or another one?) 1 for Tele/Static and for all prereqs Rest Cold Mastery?

Hella fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y9ddspHoYI&feature=related Here is one clip of Andariel I gave up on recording due to hdd space lol. Yeah, beating Andy naked with the least item-dependant class there is. Congrats. By the way, did they change the drop rates in this game recently? I'm doing full clears, just passed the Radament, raided Rakanishu and Countess in A1 a couple of times and so far I have not found a single set or unique item... Usually in A1 you found this winter set quilted armour, unique buckler and set sash... WTF?! If I won't find a single Sigon's shield during A3 I will be very disappoint... Also, could someone enlighten me how to improve the graphics? It looks fine on screenshots: ![[image loading]](http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2200/74170470.jpg) But when actually playing the game, the health & mana globes look absolutely dreadful... I guess I'll try to play it windowed... | ||

Nicest thing I found is a furysin. Uses blade fury as main skill. Max venom, death sentry and maybe shadow warrior (or master if you prefer). Get some fade, BoS, cloak of shadows and mind blast. As equipement, crushing blow is your friend. Cresent moon would be quite good. Shaefers hammer works. One handed weapons get 3/4 damage. Adding a Tiamats Rembuke and your damage would be quite ok. Try to get some enchant from somewhere (like a demon limb switch or those hellmouth? gloves) for the enchant. Another possibility is a meleemancer. I tried making a GrimReaper, which was quite nice. Max dim vision and a necromancer using scythes. Fun times | ||

I don't advocate doing single player runs to get Ums, uniques, or whatnot. Technically if you're willing to do that, you might as well just edit in the appropriate weapon and save yourself some time, and once again this kind of kills the game. For untwinked (i.e. single player runs), don't play with an "I need this item" philosophy, use a make do with what you have philosophy. Hammerdins is only hard till 18. Then your save up points (you did save up points, right?) allow you to level both concentration and blessed hammer and your damage increases quadratically. Did you guys tweak/rush all your characters or something  They work, but doubtfully in 8 players though. I hate single player since its so easy with normal builds, most people make sorcs/hammerdins/WW barbs/wind druids which is incredibly easy and you get no entertainment value out of it (atleast in my opinion).
