I have a bunch of Amn/Sol runes now so I'm ready to do a few Andariel runs before moving to Act 2. My biggest problem is that my merc can never stay alive... I tried to give him decent gear but he still dies anytime any non-generic mob comes along. I've found that no amount of defense will keep a merc alive. A strong weapon so he slaughters anything near him will keep him alive. Did you make your insight yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a superior poleaxe that I thought was the correct item level to get 4 sockets from Larzuk, but I got 5 sockets.... that was a bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always play online just because you never know when you’ll need to pair up to beat something or trade for gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I beat Hell Duriel solo tonight. Act 3 hell is giving me problems, so I wonder if at 74 ovr I’m under leveled for this area. I’ll probably do some MF runs tomorrow to level up a bit then come back to act 3 he’ll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Last night I had a Titans Revenge drop for me randomly during a countess run (a Lum rune dropped randomly like 5 seconds later too). So I started a Amazon character, going to run a lighting javazon. I already have a Razortail belt too so I think I have two best in slot items for this build.

Javazon is my favorite build (back in the day when I had a bot running so I had legit gear). I'm scared of trying to run it now that I'm on console and have to solo walk everything because you need legit gear to be viable. Doing cow runs on a geared lightning/pierce javazon is immensely satisfying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I just got to lvl 50, walking NM A3. Still handling everything easily, until there is a fire/magic resist enemy. I'm scared for Hell when there are magic immune enemies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Treachery (Shael+Thul+Lem) is amazing for him, since it gives 45 IAS and the Fade boosts resistances.

MKnight82 Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Killed Baal on Hell difficulty solo last night. I ran Cows solo too and was fine. The hammerdin is so overpowered I still don't have great gear and I can practically kill anything at level 83. I'm probably going to work on making some other builds now. I already started that javazon since I found a titans but I'm thinking about running another Paladin as a Smiter so I can do uber runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
