Good luck! I've been thinking about one of these. What's your generall skill/equip plan?

Is passion typically used for +1zeal? You could farm NM lk for those runes I believe so you could have in an ok base before hell.


Yea "Passion" is generally crafted due to the +Zeal skill that it provides. My skill allocation plan is +20 in all 3 masteries (Fire, Cold & Lightning) to help boost my damage output for when I obtain the 3 runewords that provide +Holy Shock, +Holy Freeze & +Holy Fire, then +20 in Enchant as well as +20 in Warmth (for Enchant synergy), and lastly +20 in a cold armor skill such as Frozen Armor or Chilling Armor.

If only I knew how to add... won’t have enough to max Warmth. Other than that, that’s about all I’ve planned out so far. Just kinda winging it at the moment.

Nice, seems like a decent plan. Altho idk how much adding to the masteries helps until you have the runewords providing auras, so is there a build that gets you better gear/skills to farm LK then kind of an end game build?

Also will you use static at all?

I kind of want to make one of these but have no time at the moment

Edit* also where's the updates!

Passion is by far better than doom. You will need Zeal to deal your dmg. Moreover, you need cham, lo + ohm for Doom. The cham could take forever to find. And then there are still the 2 Jah's, 1 Lo + 1 Sur for your Dreams & Dragon (i wouldn't use Dragon either btw). 2 Dreams alreay is quite a grind. And you will need to reach LK without any auras.

Also iso updates! I am curious how far you'll make it indeed! Good luck again.

The only way to obtain all these runes is by farming LK and cubing, which I don't see happening like ever, because without godlike gear he won't be able to kill shit in hell. Not to mention act bosses.

I love the positivity here :thumbsup: but I understand the difficulty haha.


I don’t plan on using static. It’s kinda cheap but who knows!

I’d max static fully if I were you :drool: and use passion

Good luck!

would be fun if fully geared,
doom, dual dream, infinity merc. however the doom wont really deal any dmg... its like 200ish dmg with - 2xx enemy cr. rather use that sanctuary + decreap sword and an act2 holy freeze merc.

then you have:
dual dream, ench, good cold armor, sanctuary, deacreap to boost merc dmg, conviction, holy freeze.

an stormlash with shael in bear form would not be stupid either.

Alright, so I'm pretty much done with my MF runs. Having said that, I respec'ed to expand my Lightning skills to include Static (+1 point) and Thunderstorm (+13 points atm). I put a mixture of skill points in Enchant, Warmth and Frozen Armor. I didn't realize how many screenshots I had, but once I noticed, I knew that I wasn't going to spend the next week editing and posting all drops here; so I'm only posting the "best" ones. They weren't that good. Who would have thought that MFing in Normal would result in shitty MF runs.

Hands down, that Nagel is the best drop of the run/WT thus far


Noice lil ammy


In addition to Andariel, I ran the Countess to stockpile lower lvl runes for "runewords" and upping
