RoS has areas where you can't teleport.

And some areas, where you shouldn't.

I'm going to now to start my own hardcore untwinked, solo run. Of course I'll use a hero editor to revive myself if I ever die

I'm gonna try to beat Nightmare dying only a handful of times, and because it's hardcore, I can't die on any bosses or else they'll go back to full life. It's my first time so don't yell at me for using Hero editor plox :d

I might also respec, but I won't adjust anything else.

Dang... Blizzard needs to relearn how to make a good game. There stupid patch increased monster life too much and introduced too many double immunes so most solo builds are useless. I really don't want to do an avenger paladin T_T so I'll probably do a bowazon.

If you're gonna revive with a hero editor why don't you just play softcore?

So if I die on a boss, I can't just come back through a portal. It makes the game harder.

Then why don't you just quit the game when you die vs a boss... this will leave your body when you reenter the game and its the same thing, minus the hero editor.

Welp, I started playing d2 classic softcore again. So far, (level 23 bonermancer, no summoning skills) the game has felt like a walk in the park, especially compared to my run through 8 years ago. Managed to go all the way until level 22 before dying to champion yetis in Act 3 stunlocking me to death an inch away from my portal >_<.

I'm assuming I'll have to wait till nightmare mode before stuff starts getting scary...I hope.

Normal Diablo didn't kill my necro, but I stupidly walked in front of nightmare corpsefire and died. First time dying with my necro was to inferno in the jungles.

Nah, this would allow me to gain levels every time I fought up to the boss.

Necros, specifically boners are definitely one of the more fun classes to play. DelSangre/Jaba on USWest HC Classic.. tho I only play during the first week of ladder reset or until I get bored stiff.. usually both happen around the same time. Anywho, I always preach to others (espc hardcore play) that 1 pnt in the summon tree even for a boner is a HUGE plus battling the situation you describe above. While you can definitely use pure prison/wall skills (should be maxed regardless) to solo hell and ward off baddies, 1 pnt in revive w/ + skills and battle commands usually equates to at least 7 revives (tho 2 or 3 is all you ever need even in Hell CS). And those guys will tank anything allowing you to bomb away with your bone/ce spells. Granted the 1 pnt in skellie and 1 pnt in mages is an absolute waste. And revives will never kill anything, but they provide great little tanks that can stand up to almost anything. Just some unsolicited advice for those soloing necro in Hell classic.

for going as a zon solo, max lit fury, and charged strike. use charged strike for act bosses and lol as they die so fast, lit fury takes your phys immunes, dual phys/lit immunes will be the only things that trouble you

hybrid it into a bowazon, get strafe or multishot
AR can sometimes be an issue, guided arrow ALWAYS hits unless blocked, its great vs bosses

runeword armors are great too, treachery gives you fade, lionheart gives hp and res and these arnt uber gg runewords like fortitude or nigma

act2 might merc can help out with killing, with a lvl17 valkyrie [recast so you get a blue one, cold dmg] you will be good

for a javalin, anything that replenishes is good. mana issues, give your merc an insight. MAX block with your shield helps quite a bit


stats, str can be 156 if you want a 4os monarch, or less if you want a 3os trolls nest [spirit/4pdiamond in the first, sanctuary (bit hard to get runes for) for the second)
dex, 200 or so, you want to block in jav/shield mode
vit, rest, no energy



cheap gear

jav - anything that replenishes [titans revenge is best though]

shield - rhyme [shael+eth], blocking, cant be frozen, res all / mosers with 2pdiamonds, massive res all and block rate

helm - irathas / 3 os with resistance runes that you need

armor - smoke [nef +lum], 50 res all, fhr / vipermagi [res all, +1 skills]

belt - credendum, res all, +str / rare with res

gloves - rare, crafted, bloodfist, your choice

boots - rare with res all

rings, ammy - whatever you need, AR, res, cats eye is great too


merc
wep - insight [ral tir tal sol] polearm
armor - highest def he can get, ideally with res and +hp
helm - same as armor

take care of the merc, give him potions if he gets to 1/3 hp

i could also post the nice uber gg items if you want, but wheres the fun in that?

Hey D2 community!

I've got a very ambitious project I'm working on, to be released for my 5000th post.

It's a D2 Magic: the Gathering set and here's my first preview:

I've got almost 250 cards finished... except pictures. Here's where I need help: If anybody can kill hell ancients for me on USWest non-ladder and then Baal I'd really appreciate it. PM me or AIM at metashdw if you can help :D
good vibes only

If you play solo then why not just use older patch.

That's a good idea, patch 1.09 is before all the uniques like duriel were nerfed, most game breaking bugs were fixed, and monster life wasn't 120 times monster damage.Thanks.

I died to Duriel T_T
Rest in peace CapnAmerica (unless I revive you)

I kept trying to use thorns aura from a mace, and using my merc to tank hits until she died. Then I'd just use my town portal to go home. I ran out of TP's and forgot to buy more. Duriel had about 400 life left >.<

And all I wanted to do was to kill Baal.
You don't even like Baal.

Ehh, reloaded my save and killed him with a steel runeword and zeal. I didn't have to go back to town since by using steel, I was to close for him to charge me. Then since my merc survived, she helped me keep him frozen.[image loading]

bosses do extra dmg to minions and hirelings, so thorns is good vs the melee ones that can survive [necro summons] but with just 1 player and 1 merc, the merc will die before the boss thorns himself to death usually
