Hello everybody,

Ladder reset might come one day and i'm thinking what would be the best way to grind the ladder as fast as possible regarding equipement. I don't care about leveling up as fast possible but rather finding good stuff as fast as possible. I know that is kinda linked but my purpose is to find mid to late game stuff the fastest way possible.

I know most of the pros and cons to a Sorc/Necro but i want your opinion on the matter.

Hit me with your thoughts and why you will go for one or the other ! Don't need absolute objectives points, just YOUR opinion on the topic.

Thanks a lot fellow players.

Teleport is too good, sorc all the way.

Sorc dual element. Cheap build can farm very effectively with just tal rashas set. Perfect for new ladder.

Would go orb/fb with max orb + synergy no cold mastery as you get +2 from tal orb. Rest into fire.

Once you get infinity respec to light.

edit: infinity for merc!

Orb/FB sorc by far, necro wouldn't even be the 2nd best choice!

e/ and don't waste your first several Bers on your own Infinity! Just stay orb/fb and sell your runes in the new market.

hammerdin with shako

Shako can't handle autism, sorry.

Sheko is a fuk*** lie.

blizz sorc and tunnels runs all the way

It's true, better than orb/fb for MF if you plan on just going straight to AT and staying there. But if you wanted to beat the game first or try other areas I'd go with FO/FB until you decide to retire to AT.

Both have their uses, tbh. I typically run two pcs, one being a bo barb and the other either a sorc to start ladder. Use your barb to start games and join with sorc that hasn’t completed meph quest. That way you can get bo’d and have quest bugged meph. Once I’ve got enough shit from meph to afford good merc gear (eth elite insight and treachery) I’ll go to chaos and do the same thing. Make games with bo barb that has D quest done, join on sorc that hasn’t completed quest. Do chaos seal glitch for mad rune drops and diablo drops quest bugged loot. I farmer enough runes to build enigma and the rest of a hammerdin set in probably 20-30 playing hours last reset.

Necro can be decent if you load up on +skills, PnB gcs, ondals staff on switch, and a high damage merc. Pretty quick cow runs without enigma, just make sure to pick up chipped gems to repair ondals tele charges. You can “glitch” cows by using bone wall to attract massive groups of cows from all directions. Then amp em, let your merc/skellies kill a couple and let corpse explosion do the rest. Shits gravy

Edit: oh and to solve the whole sorc/chaos/immunity problem I usually do a blizzard/fireball hybrid. 3k fireball/2k blizz damage is easily obtainable and clears chaos fine. Don’t do fb/orb for chaos, orb doesn’t do enough damage there.
