Can only speak for 1.07 as I didn't played the other two just yet.

Coldmastery pierces immunes, so the only monsters that FO can't kill are "magic resistant" uniques. (but the merc can, or just park them)

FO stops working if it hits an enemy with the orb, just play around that fact, with max static it's no biggy, everything just melts.

but beware that any char except sorc will definitly struggle alot, Baal being next to impossible for meelee chars (his manaflame does incredible damage, 1shots most chars)

would advice to get ATMA V to mule off your goodies, it's not as good as gomule, but gomule doesn't work with those patches.

Cows in hell are level 90 i believe, so you can level very far there, and many places in act 5 are level 99, so with enough patience you can get to 99 more quickly than in 1.10+ (but would recommend self-mp for more exp)

Out of the top of my hat, 1.08 is good for a Highlordswrath with FRW instead of IAS, tho don't hold your breath, mf doesn't work properly.
Also it's the only patch where a Belt can have Deadly strike (the craft requires a Mal and certain days of the month)

1.09 is imo only great for players64 command, if the cows are still 90 you could easily get 99 there, I guess.

Yes, that is an awesome feature.
However rare jools in 1.08 are very hard to come by.

The best way is to farm Travincal with high MF in 1.07 then forwardto 1.08 and reroll with PSkulls.



Game should be a cakewalk for amazons as well. In 1.07 CB fully works with ranged attacks -> EZ Baal with guided arrow.
CB also ignores physical immunes. So basically you can just CB everything down to 1% then finish with any elemental damage.
And the most fun part is that each LF bolt can leech, proc (CB, KB, DS etc.) and carry all types of damage (cold, fire, psn and weapon damage). LF zons are disgustingly OP (imagine Hell Cows with KB+CB+cold damage+leeching bolts). :D

Below an easy LF zon setup, most items can be obtained from nightmare LK racks:

Guillaumes helm - 35% CB
Titans - much lower damage, but has KB. OFC, this can be replaced by any good rare/magic javelins.
Blood gloves -> Heavy Gloves(Magic) [qlvl:7] +Jewel +Tir +Ruby (1-4% Lifeleech +10-20 life +5-10% Crushing Blow)
Mavina's belt - 1.07 version has 40% FRW and 10-15% mana leech.
Goblin Toe - 25% CB BIS
Tiamat's Rebuke - added cold, fire, psn damage
Spirit Shroud - CBF
Cobalt ring with bugged MPK
Any good second ring
Any good amulet (prismatic amus are very good here).
Any good crafted or shopped magic bow for 2nd weapon slot.

Skill distribution:
- max LF
- max GA
- max Pierce
- rest is up to your preference

For merc, you may use Act5 barbarian, as this is the only merc type which can regenerate (and LL does not work on mercs). Barbs are quite tanky in 1.07. Just give them a high damage 1-handed sword, some DR and CB.

With this easy low budget setup you will melt everything. The only challenge would be LI+PI bosses, but you can skip those or leave them to the merc.

+1: do not bother items with pierce (e.g. Buriza, Razortail), because pierce is bugged in 1.07 and 1.08 (only gives 1%).

+2: please note that this is not an MF setup. This setup is for play through the game and fun (and lvl99 ofc). For MF you should play with a sorc and try to reach certain breakpoints: 374% MF for Hell Council (they can drop all set items below TC66), 556% MF for Hell Act Bosses (they can drop unique items below TC40 - you can get all unique jewellery).

+3: there is no way to get Windforce in 1.07. Unfortunately racks can not drop bows.
