Is anyone really good at this game ?
I never really played this game before, I am wondering how much time does it takes for you guys to get for exemple Enigma , Hoto , Hoz etc... for 12 k pal I think ?
My friend had this pal and it was very cool , but I can't figure it out how can I get all the runes and all the stuff. I want to get all the stuff by myself.Without any hacks of gifs from a gosu :D
How can ppl be gosu at this game ?
I need expert tips
If you want to help me I would really appreciate
And maybe I could help you in something else in exange ? I don't know =/

just waste loads of time on it T_T

d2 requires more time than skill
|
as long as the game hasn't changed much from when I played it goes like this.
Your first character has to be an mfer (magicfind) or you have to get some free crap from someone.
Get a rush through normal difficulty and do tristram runs and tomb runs until 20. Do cows until 24 and then the ancients to get to 25. From here do mass baal runs till like 40.
Next get a rush through nightmare and do baal runs till 60.
Get another rush through hell and do baal runz till like 75.
To mf go to hell mephisto and kill him. Leave game and repeat like 1 million times. Trade away rare stuff for other crap that you need.
To get runes do countess runs in hell. She drops a few runes (usually crappy ones) every time you kill her. She sometimes drops some really rare ones but you are going to have to do many many runs.
Also you can be an uber killer or whatever those things are. They drop that hellfire charm. NOt to familiar with this because I quit a while before that patch came out.
You are going to have to just clock in time to get what you need.

Build a blizz sorc.
max skills in this order:
blizz, mastery, ice blast, spike.
to level,
1-5 quest
6-15 trist runs
15-20 tombs
20-24 cows
24-25 ancients quest
25-40 norm baals
40-75 nm baals
75-83ish hell baals
then just get some basic mf gear (skulders, some magic/rare mf boots/ammy/rings, a decent orb, spirit shield YES IT IS WORTH THE 156 STR, possibly some nagels for rings, goldwrap or tals belt, and some chancies. You should find a gheeds charm pretty quick.) that should get you through until you can find some good stuff. Just get a prayer merc (act two, I forget which one, there is a guide at diabloii.net [I think its in the zon forum] that should tell you the mercs.) get him some nice armor with ED, shaftstop is great for this, then a helm with leech (vamp gaze, although it is a bit pricey, I've found that Crown of Thieves works pretty well), then throw insight (ral tir tal sol) in an elite POLEARM NOT SPEAR. that would get you a decent tank to mess around with and good for running ancient tunnels in act 2. He'll also get you to durance three but he won't be able to tank meph. Just learn to moat trick (tele to meph, run to stairs on left facing south, then tele across to the second burning urn and blizz). Since the runes prices have dropped so much you _SHOULD_ be able to get some nice stuff after not too long.
If you have any questions fire away or pm me.

You don't need a merc to go to dura lvl 3. When I use my sorc I just get fast caster rate and teleport away while squandering down mana pots xD
Use the meph across the river trick, he'll go down in no time. Teleport in and claim your prizes :D
|
I didn't keep my merc when I had nub gear either. It was jut helpful to have a distraction for the enemies while teleing and it was also nice to not have to worry about mana goin down there.
When you're starting out you need to break the 63 fcr mark and have a decent about of FHR (I forget the bp). its cheaper to pot, it was just preference to have him every once in a while for me.

Actually, alot of pros suggest you max out synergies first. That allows you to use less mana per cast while still getting higher damage from synergies. Doesn't really matter though.

i never liked blizz sorcs...i always preferred orbers, and yes i have made tons of blizz/orb sorcs when i use to play...

The synergies add a % to the total damage... I'd rather have a higher dmg for the % to affect than a large % on a smaller number.
Also on a side note, most people suggest to leave cold mastery at 16 because that is the cap for -resistance on most normal mosters. I chose to max it for shit and giggles, but I've found that it helps because I do an assload more damage than is shown vs every monster. It's up to you really, but you DO need to get it to 16 to get the most out of your skill points.

Counting +skills and charms:
Blizzard at lvl 20 with no synergies: around 2200 damage and 65 mana cost
Blizzard at lvl 1 with 1 maxed synergies (20 ice bolt): around 1700 damage and 46 mana cost
Blizzard at lvl 1 with 2 maxed synergies (20 ice bolt and 20 ice blast): around 2200 and 46 mana cost
While you might not gain as much damage from synergies, I think it's enough to max out Blizzard last because of the difference in mana cost. Of course, this is only counting if you have alot of +skills items and grand charms. The 5% bonus from synergies is going to be low otherwise. This wouldn't work if you'r'e also trying to level the "legit" way. I see what you're saying though.
Since I like to just Grush my characters, I do it this way

i play single player d2 only. No runs, but by the time you'll have cleared out hell you'll be over 80. I don't have great gear (obv hard to get), but a couple top items i got while playing (stormshield, bonehew). lower runewords ( like RalOrtTal, IthElEth) are essential since higher runes are impossible to get, and you won't find good enough uniques or rares. It's mostly a waste of time, but i like to waste time.

PvP in D2 does take a little bit of knowledge/skillful execution. My finest character was my 91 Bone Necro with all-vit pump. (Marrows, Enigma, Homo, Gryff tiara, Hoto and Cta His worst nemisis was a skilled trapsin (assuming I didn't go absorb)

If you wanna get rich, Mephisto is NOT the way to go, rather cow-runs. Reason: they drop an insane amount of charms, and a goodly charm can easily get you all the gear you wanted. I just traded a 5res all/2dex charm for:
Ist'ed Occy
Ist'ed Tals Armor
Tals Ammy
Tals Belt (15mf)
2xPul
That charm came of the NIGHTMARE cows. I find NM to be more efficient than Hell cows for charm hunting, if you're looking for SC's.
Look for charms with:
+19-20 life
+16-17 mana
+10-11single res
+3-5 all res
+6-7 mf
+5% FHR
+3% FRW
If you hit any combination of these, you've won the jackpot.

The only way of getting rich without any external help, scamming, or hacks is doing mass mf runs. =(

Right. I forgot about that. I was never good at trading though. Mmm I'm too lazy to spend time trading and I'm usually too lazy to do mass mf runs so that's why I quit D2. =(

Yeah trading is an option too.
Start with your HF rune, break it into crafting runes, sell those crafting runes for HR's, rinse and repeat - it's possible, I've started with an ist and ended with 5 HR's. Long time ago, though.
On a completely unrelated matter, does anyone know the value of a 27/325/446 Metalgrid?

are hammerdins or smiters more common for paldins?
