Safest area is mausoleum. Nearly no ranged monsters. Easy to kill with garbage gear on blizz/orb sorc. Lvl 85 area level

ooo i completly forgot about mausoleum, nice one. thanks for the reminder

A lot of this depends on how much damage reduce you're running. I got hit by a NM doll for 200 hp even with 13% dr. If you accidently pop a hell doll, or your merc kills two of them, you risk dying while going to hell meph. Max block will also help you a lot provided you have adequate hp/DR vs dolls.

I've seen a level 80+ sorc who had tals ammy/spirit/tal armor die to NM dolls in Meph durance while rushing me and two other people. If you're sub 1k hp, you're definitely in danger.

I'm usually running around in underrated cardboard so i tend to skip areas where they can spawn dolls.

You can however figure out whether durance two has dolls in it by a process of elimination if you don't see them immediately. Durance only spawns three monster types like Baal Throne room, so if you see blood lord/decayed/urdar then there will be no dolls and its much safer.

this guy knows what he is talking about

Maus, ancient tunnels, and lower kurast are all very good and relatively safe areas. Andy and meph can be somewhat sketchy and somewhat hard to find. The other three are very easy to find and farm.

On legacy I had 40 sorcs doing mausoleum/crypt runs very safely with trash gear 24 hours into reset. I had several of them wearing same trash gear for 3-4 weeks and the bots are not nearly as safe as playing manually

I Like doing LK Chest Runs for Rune Drops

Cows, pits, cata, tunnels, chaos, shrenk, pindle, all red portals

As for places i currently run as a cold sorc(sometimes i'll deviate and add stuff). I have shitty internet that could easily kill me at a bad time. Even NM diablo is dangerous if you aren't really overgeared - that lightning breath even with 75% light res does a lot of damage.

Pindle
Ancient tunnels
Cows
Trav


I'd normally do shenk/eldritch but the wait time for frigid wp is way too long(5+ seconds) and mobs can spawn right next to the WP and can easily kill you if you are undergeared/they have insane modifiers. Some people have posted about dying to them here before finishing loading.

Again, if you have CTA + max or close to max DR what you can do reliably shifts quite a bit.

Urdars can stunlock you though. So gotta watch for that. Especially with the save and exit button being smaller than my peckerafter a January swim
