Ah right, viper would help a lot. So would a 3 tornado base lore (the luck you have this walk, it's annoying :P) (im killing andy with about 200 mf i believe. I hardly drop anything other than rare or magic.)


Have you posted a WT so we can follow along with you? :rolleyes:

Yes, I have been fairly lucky this walk in finding certain items. :D

You killing Andy on /p8 with 200 MF? Viper will eventually drop. If you want to speed up runs, try to cube up to or find a Lem so you can make 'Lawbringer'. LK may be your friend in this matter. Decrep makes your Nado dps off the charts. Gl!

I will check in a bit what my mf setup is. I want a lem just nothing drops. Been looking for a lum for ages too. I didn't make a walkthrough becasue i was just dicking around one night, but then I forgot how much fun a fire druid actually is, and all of a sudden I was windy-ing through nightmare without too much problems.

My mf is 203 (i found a gull dagger this morning and still hit 60somthing fcr with 17xx dmg.)

Lol Pindle drops a skullders, lets see if less fcr + more dmg and mf is viable on andy.

Remember, find a balance between how much MF you have and the speed of your runs. Don't get gobs of MF at the expense of faster killing speed. There's a "sweet spot" between MF/killing speed and should you find it, you'll be killing fairly fast but good items will also be dropping. I'm running /p8 Pits in Hell with only ~100 MF.

Killing speed > more MF

Additionally, MF does have diminishing returns which you can read about here:

I know I know, but the frame drop in fcr is balanced out by more damage so Im fine on andy. Mephisto was a big nono in the drops = runtime anyway, that and he never ever gave me anything good in 10 years + of D2

You can use spirit sword and shield on switch and swap to gull for killing blow


Im well aware of that too but I rather just teleport there and don't swap too much gear.

Descent Fade prebuf


Bitchin' 'Enigma' base! :banana: B)
One of my LK armor racks drops these all the time. I was hoping I'd eventually find a 15 ED base, I just didn't think I'd find it so soon. :rolleyes: Will use socket quest on this for sure. :D
