Welcome to my next WT. Last time I played Sorc on classic hc and was a bit frustrated that quite often I had to skip groups of monsters. Because of that decided to reach for build that will let me smash everything on my way.

Rules:

• classic (no LoD)
  
• progress on p8
  
• hc
  
• no mods, pluggy, big stash
  
• provide better quality screenshots
  

Plan:

• start as Zealot and see how far I can get
  
• respec to Hammer once Zealot progress stops
  
• kill Diablo on hell
  
• Auradin project - once I complete the WT I will experiment a bit with respecs to see how Auradin can handle hell - looking for inspiration here!
  

Wish me luck!

Let's go!


Almost lvl 6 after the Den. Got nice damage - but it hurts, because I'm pumping sacrifice. 2 x chipped topaz dropped so I created myself mf helm

That slow from Coldcrow... Where is my Raven Frost?


First drops, mf works! Slowly improving my paint skills.


Bloodraven went very easy. My dmg is stool good

MF helm works! Got already nice +all ress gear.


Ladies contain yourself...


Approaching Cain, lvl 12 - tough choice. Sticking for now with sacrifire.

Gheed weapon upgrade


This guy convienced me to stop using sacrifice and switch to zeal


Luck with gheed again - this time I rock axe.


I'm wondering what should be my weapon of choice. Should I am for 1h exceptional swords? Or go for naga. Nagas got almsot the same avg dmg than ancient swords.

Andy on first kill dropped arctic belt. Together with armor gives nice mf bonus. Already have around 70% mf I'm planning to mf her for a bit.


level 17

More Andy mf runs. I'm lvl 18 now. Found Cleglaw's Claw - overall bad shield, but it's decent set for Zealot and Auradin on classic.


Few runs later this godly drop happened. Good Nagel (AR!), nice tri ress rare ring and 2nd Clewglaw's part. I think I will stick with it - gives me nice AR, knowback (considering for safety reasons) and slow.


Couple more runs later even better Nagel!


Total MF now: 125% + good luck. I should name this guy Golden Boy lol

HI GL with the WT

How do you plan to play auradin on classic when you can only have one aura active?

edit:/

Sorry i came across as an arsehole

i did not mean it that way. I meant what build you planning.

Thanks

My plan would be something like this:

Skills:
20 Holy Freeze
20 Holy Shock
20 Resist Cold
20 Resist Lightning
4 Zeal
X Holy shield

That gives about 91 + X points. I need 80+ lvl for that

Grear:
Here I have some options:
Version #1: Cleglaw's set
Set gives:

• 35% crushing blow
  
• 50% deadly strike
  
• +100 max dmg on lvl 80 - avg. weap. dmg 62
  
• 20% ias
  
• 10 ar per lvl
  
• 30% AR bonus
  
• crappy shield - low block, low ress

Supplement with:

• 1/2 pala amu
  
• ar, ll rings
  
• Twitchtroe would give me better IAS, but I will struggle with ressits, maybe Goldskin will be better
  
• Goblin Toe may be overkill here -> 60% cb

Using Hotspurs as a build I would be super tanky vs elemental dmg. Potentially 90 fr, 85fr, 85lr

Version #2: 2 Pala Scepter
This will give me better aura dmg. Something like +2 pala +2/+3 Holy Shock/Holy Freeze would be the best
Supplement this with Sigon helm + gloves for AR and IAS
Shield: +2 pala prism
Goblin Toe boots
Rest is optional

This can assuming 1 pala amu this will give me + 5 to all skills + hopefully +x to my main aura on scepter

Version #3: go for speed and accuracy
The Diggler is interesting option here - 30ias and ITD
Sigon Gloves + 2nd piece and Twitchroe would give me 6/6/6/6/12 zeal
Rest of the gear same as option #2 - I'm loosing + skill bonus on scepter

I think option #1 and #3 are the best here. Any thoughts?

This is not p8 build, this will probably barely clear hell

What you play is Classic WITH LoD

This is Classic no LoD



Make the difference!
