Well it's been awhile since I last posted... Lets see... Oh I went to Vegas last week, it was awesome but Vegas is definately smoker friendly. Sad to say but I am no longer going to play Bnet, I'm getting a new computer and am going to keep this one so I can play SP with me and my friends and also with the nice and mature people (thats something you dont find everyday on bnet) on the SP Forum at diabloii.net. I am also planning to create a new necromancer build which will be entitled Attrancer. Ill post it here sometime in the future and let everyone try it out. And there's this http://www.butzull.plus.com/septavirate.html

Well off of me for a minute or two. What has everyone here been doing? Any good drops? Real life stuff? Etc, Etc, Etc...

Hi Kool, have you started playing again yet on your new comp?
Btw, I'm also at diabloii.net, but only at the Europe trade forum. If none of my friends neet it, I usually sell of stuff I think is too good to drop in open "free items" games at Bnet.

I unfortunately have to agree with you on the Bnet population, I never play in open games, only passworded games with my friends. I get too annoyed at all this "plz plz give me something" kids.

Attrancer? Yes, post your build here, it's always interesting with non cookie cutter builds

Regarding drops, I'm almost embarrased to tell how lucky I've been the last 2-3 weeks - I've got far better drops than I deserve!

Tal's and IK:s full set, Nat's full set, almost perfect Arky (176/+2), Gris weapon, 2 Ist runes (I've build a Delirium helmet, and socketed my Meteorb's Occy), a Ber rune, Arachnid Mesh, Levithan...now, we are looking for the extremely hard to find items such as the Ladder only sorc staves and unique circlets.

In real life, I've also been very lucky and my experiments are going very well (I'm in human brain research). I'm also very happy with some interesting genetics results I have in another study

Hope everything is as good with you!

Yes, I know

I also found a 39% MF Gheeds, Mavina's full set, and an incredible rare claw with 413% ED and 20 IAS - this claw I've been offered 5 SoJ:s and all the runes for Enigma and Chains of Honor for...but I have decided not to trade it, and start a Kicksin instead, same built as you were planning, Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail. The real difference came when my Meteorb MF-sorc obtained about 300% MF, after that the items have just been flowing in...

I already started it

, I'm currently leveling up in nm baal runs, level 70 so far.... gonna go to like 75 before I make the break to hell..... then it's mausoleum/pit/ancient tunnels runs all the way ^^

She's already lvl 70? That was fast! What equipment does she have so far?

well I have a peasant crown, chrmoatic Ire and craps.... so far my best res is -9 ^^ so I can die really fast if I don't watch out....

I am however going to mule over the following:

Goldwrap (upgraded)
Chance Guards (40%)
War Traveller (43%)
Wealth

and then I'll be able to do some major mfinding and hopefully find an occulus to use instead of chromatic ire.... that's the plan so far.... besides that I'll just go with the flow and see what happens....

what equip do you have on your sorc? or did u already tell me....?

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 6:27 pm

Sounds like a good start, you'll need a shield later on though. I have a Moser with 2 pdiamonds, but as soon as I find out which mule I put it on, I'm going to switch that for an upgraded Viscerataunt since I don't need so much resists any more and Viscera has +1 sorc skills.

Perfect Chance guards are good, I have them too

War trav 43% is very good, I don't have STR for them so I have a pair of rares with resists 30 fwr, 10 fhr, light res 10 and fire res 37. MF is only 14, so I plan to change boots as soon as I manage to gamble anything better.

I use Tal's armour with ptopaz, Shako with ptopaz, Tal's ammo and perfect Tal's belt (15 MF), Ist:ed Occy and perfect Nagelring (30 MF). SoJ (my only one) as ring 2. Then a Gheeds 39, lots of small MF charms and a 18/14/7 Anni. All together, about 400 MF and +9 to skills. As you understand, she plays very easily by now.

@Kool: You're on Europe? Good

What characters do you have?

I'm at C_Elegans.

Kool69 · Post by **Kool69** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 8:45 am

They scared me away

Talk funny lol. But how did yall build your Meteor/Orb Sorcs? What skills besides Meteor and ord do they use?

EDIT: @C_Elegans: I,ve got a level 4 meteor/orb sorc

garazdawi · Post by **garazdawi** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 10:03 am

I've maxed out fireball and firemastery and ofcourse one skill point in static, tele and the level 1 ice armour.

and that's it so far... when I finish maxing firemastery I'm gonna put as many points a I can into cold mastery and then I'll be happy

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 6:38 pm

@Kool: They scared you away? Who, the stupid kids who enter open games and say "gimme itz plz" and when you don't, they go hostile? There are many morons at Bnet, I play almost exclusively in private games with my friends. Dottie and I plan to start HC chars soon, maybe we could play together?

Regarding the Meteorb build, you max out FO but not Cold Mastery, CM only needs to be 17 with +skill items. Max Meteor, Fire ball and Fire Mastery, then put as many points as you can in Fire Bolt. I also have 1 point in Static, and of course Teleport+prerequisite skills. My Meteorb, Radiolaria, is now lvl 90 and has +9 to skills. She will have +10 to skills as soon as I have upgraded a Viscerataunt for her - I'm just too lazy to find it among all my mules!

Hi again Kool if you see this - nice to see you at Bnet last week, I hope we get more opportunities to play. I have a number of low lvl chars now, a lvl 15 Bowazon, a lvl 14 MA Assa, a my new CL/FO sorc who is lvl 4 or so. I also have a Tesladin at lvl 45-46 somewhere, and then my high lvl sorcs, the pure fire at lvl 86 and the lvl 91 Meteorb.

MF:ing has been good this week to, a golden Hydra bow dropped in Chaos sanctuary, and it turned out to be 8 mana leach (Windforce vary between 6-8 ml) so I was very happy.

We've also found 2 Azurewraths, that's a very pretty sword...another Shako, a couple of Lightsabres, a Steel Carapace, an Ethereal Reapers toll (the perfect act 2 merc weapon), another IK armour

I must start trading more, we have far more stuff than we need now!
