What do you mean? I know the res doesn’t apply to the energy shield, but coupled with dwarf and wisp, those rare times when I get my mana dropped by souls or mana burn infector, that extra res and sorb really helps me feel safe. But the best is the 90 poison res for wave 2 when I run Baal, since poison completely bypasses the ES. The faster block rate on guardian angel might be my favorite part, though since blocking with spirit shield is extremely slow. Plus the black armor looks secksy :thumbsup:


Ignore my statement.

LOL i know, i have a lot of points in strength for a sorc, but it's really not too detrimental since this sorc used to be max block which required like 250ish dex.
now that ive gone to base dex, I had plenty of extra points to spare. :)

Man, cs has been dropping all the vita scs today.
Earlier I posted how she had found two +20 already, but she ended up finding a total of three +20 vita sc's all within that same hour or so.

So tonight I decided to mess around on my hdin.
He is essentially Cryo's brother.
He was also made in 2010, sat at about 62 for 9 years, and is a now a little more than halfway to 97 himself.
I will likely make a similar thread about him when he hits 97.

But I digress. in the past few P8 CS runs he has also found two vita sc's
and although they were both only +18,
this one was extra sexy and I just had to share it here since it was relevant to all the vita sc's dropping :wub:

So, I've been running her completely optimal setup for leveling, but the biggest drawback is that she only has 119% MF
I'm starting to get tired of all the lackluster drops so I'm gonna try putting her MF stuff on.

She does have MF gear in her stash for when I run ancient tunnels,
but I've decided to gear her up in the MF gear for a while for CS
since I'm going to be doing a LOT more CS runs and she hasn't been finding much of anything.

she still hits all her breakpoints, 105% FCR, 86% FHR, 5,200 blizz, etc,
but the drawbacks are the teleporting on occulus and losing the +15 max all res from GAngel,
as well as losing the fire and light absorb from dwarf/wisp


Stats and MF with MF gear on:



Changes:
Swapped out HOTO for her old Isted Occulus
Swapped out GA for PTopaz Skullders
Swapped out Wisp for 30 nagel
Swapped out Dwarf for FCR Fire Res MF ring

hopefully the drops should improve and I won't die from random occy teles :bouncy:

But then I decided, f*ck that occulus trying to kill me, and all that MF, I want to be UNKILLABLE in CS.

Remember that Ber rune I found right after hitting 97?

I put it in a Naj's Light Plate and formulated a new build.

Once I hit 98, I will surely go back to Guardian Angel/wisp/res boots because the extra res and sorb is necessary for act 5.

But for running chaos over and over, I'm in love with this new build.

Way more health, way more mana, way more regen, an extra skill point, 33% DR instead of 25% (I swapped her 38 vit / 14% dr dungos with my zealers 38/15%)

She's so tanky now.

Even though she's only got 53% MF now :rofl: IDC

Items that changed:
Took out 40 mf gheeds and replace it with those three 20 life SCs she found the other day.
Ber'd Naj's Light Plate instead of Um'd Guardian Angel
+7 Life Regen Manald instead of Wisp
Silkweaves instead of FR/LR/MF boots

I gotta say, I'm loving it.

I've now started running CS differently too.
I show up in players 8 to kill mobs and hit Vizier, then Infector, and then switch to players 1 to pop De Seis because hes a pain in the ass.
Then back to players 8 for D.
Now I no longer have to hit /players1 every time I start a new game.

Doing this I get about 200k exp per run, and it takes exactly twice as long as the p1 speed runs where I only got 90-100k per run.
Worth it, I think.

Who says you need more than 53 MF to get decent drops anyway? <_<





Almost time to start rolling this baal GC:
