keep this thread going... just cause tav is gone doesnt mean were done.
I created a Dragoon Barbarian the other day for a novelty build. I don't know how strong he'll be later in the game. Due to the agility requirements of spears, I'll have to figure out what type of charms I'll need to hold in addition to my resistances to even stay alive. I have a feeling that life steal is going to be crucial. I might need to upgrade my Bloodthief so I can keep it's 11% life steal for now and maybe socket it so I can put in some more life steal.
Cheap, efficient, and deadly; an Honor (Amn + El + Ith + Tir + Sol) in a Stygian Pike or Ghost Spear; the next cheapest would be Passion, and after that, the only thing I can think of next that goes into a Spear in the first place would be an EBotD. The Stygian is probably easier to manage, due to having the traditional "more Str than Dex" requirement. Once you get to level 81, I can offer you my Arioc's Needle I was going to save for my Artsin's mercenary (155/120). You could also try crafting Safety Spears (Magic Spear, PEmerald, Jewel, Sol Rune) and hope for a sick, 300% ED weapon, IAS, +Max damage based on cLvl, and +AR based on cLvl. No guaranteed 60% from Blood or Hit Power for you.
I also have an Arreat's for you, a spare Shaftstop, and other goodies, which I'm sure you've got your eyes on by now. Either way, you're either going to have to pump Str and Dex for large damage bonuses, or Vita for the life you will desperately need. As far as your Skill build goes, it should be obvious: Leap Attack, Leap, BO, Shout, and Mastery. With no block, you're going to actually need to be able to survive hits.
im in serious need of good armor for my merc... and btw does anyone need an assassin torch?
I could use that, since I appear to be the only person on here that can use it. But, I don't play. It'd still be nice. I can offer you an Ethereal 3Os Diamond Mail with approximately 875 defense, or an Ethereal 4Os Hellforge Plate with 1099, or any other tier 2 Unique Armor I have on mules, or even my Crafted Great Hauberks. Ask Mulley for details, since he has my account information.
I still play guys... I'll play today a bit. I'm thinking about scrapping my light-sorc (just not a fan of single-element, especially when she's so gear-dependent and is otherwise not useful) and re-distributing her stuff and waiting to do another Sorc until I'm a bit more wealthy.
ill assume for now that the eoff d2 effort is dead? with no support from the community ive stopped playing ... its gotten very boring. if anyone is still interested in playing lmk... if not as a group im done... therefore offering all my items including an enigma... lmk
I've been playing off and on, I finally bit the bullet and tried out a Hammerdin. But grad school starts for me this week so my playing time will be greatly reduced, probably to 10-15 minutes once or twice a day of doing a Countess run or such when the mood grabs me.
I just found a tasty necro skull.
I suppose my stuff has been working for you pretty nicely, eh, mulley?
Glad I could help.Originally Posted by Flying Mullet
The Skullder's has been nice, and decided to try out a Hammerdin as well so most of your goods came in handy at one point or another.
In other news, I upgraded a near perfect Skin of the Vipermagi to an elite so now I have an 880 def, +1 skills, +30% fcr, mag dam red by 13% and 32% all res armor that's quite lovely on my hammerdin or lit sorc.
Fixed. VM does not offer %-based Magic damage reduction. No such affix exists in vanilla.
