Then a little further up the path:






A candidate to cube-socket.. I really want 500+ def, but this is getting close anyway. I have many elite armors stashed < 500.

Diablo dropped bupkis.


Cubed a Low-quality wire fleece for fun:


It came out fun:

Got level 93 on the way to Nilathek!

Drops:



For UT, still ISO:
Resistance & life charms ( I lose a LOT of resists w/o all my normal gear... gear provides almost all resists right now)
IST & exile base (or dracs)
MAL for grief
Armor for UT - gotta figure out what to use.


I actually have a 35 res Kurast shield, and a 28 res sacred targe already, but neither is a good enough base for exile IMO. I don't expect to make a eth-bugged 45 res base mind you, but either eth and 30+ res or non-eth 40+ res Sacred Targe or Sacred Rondach.

Am I being too picky?


Ive given more thought to the challenge here - I'm going to try to gradually up the /players level in UT. I'll start at 2, then 3 4 5 6 7 8... Provided I live that long...

i wouldnt go exile.. waste of runes

spirit/hoz works just fine.. even rhyme does a good job. all you really need for ut is stacked res (aka fade prebuff), cb and life tap. im almost certain that lilith is the one to worry about. rest of them are cake. and with pluggy there are no summons so baisicly only thing that /px does is increase the battle lenght since everyone has more hp

i see no reason why you shouldnt live long enugh. lt wand to precast for safety

hahahaha love the dirk drop

Get a sanctuary shield for UT. Ko Ko Mal is dirt cheap for massive res and blocking.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Shako FINALLY!!! GZ on drop mate

I actually agree with Monze, Sanctuary is very very good for keeping your ass alive. Armour - you need Duress, plain and simple. Duress in a mage plate or better will be superb for you. Exile is not necessary, but I use it for that guaranteed Life Tap because if it doesn't cast, everyone dies - simple as.

i dont get this topic

Read it - might help your noob ass xD

Mf until I have all the gear needed for solo ut / mf hammerdin. Simple as that! Pretty cookie cutter and boring, but still fun for me because I like the nice drops, and I've not done it on single player before, or ever untwinked/ traded.. Cookie cutter for a reason.



Thank you!

Gface + gores = 50 cb, which in my experience is enough w/ grief phase, and duress doesn't offer much resists. I have a 2 os eth bugged hellforge plate I could make prudence in, but would need to bump strength a bit.

I need mal runes in a bad way, as all these options have mal

Exile I like because then I don't need lt wand. This isn't a big deal without minions though. On realms I like to have spirit/ hoto on switch for cleanup.

I guess exile / sanctuary / rhyme will come down to the shield I eventually cube or find, and whether I find dracs soon..
