After reaching lvl 80, rerolling maps is no problem anymore. So I decided to visit
norm for a little shopping trip to Drognan. Iso +3 Ench, 2 os Staff.
This spawned after only around 3 minutes and I was like: screw it, I gonna stick with this one.
But you know, I need every little dmg and ar possible to manage hell. So I decided to be patient
and go on. Bought this one tho, just in case
See how costly the "superior" upgradeis ~_~


~45 minutes later
So happy!


There we go with my brand new Leaf. I love it. Won't get any better untwinked.
Precasting is a bit harder now, because I have to take of my shield, too. But it's worth it
Hexfire went to Fara^^

leaf is an easy choise. But I'd be searching for a +6 orb together with spirit shield for real pro prebuff

So there we go with a new charscreen picture. Dmg upgrade is nice lol
That's it for now.

- run Baal until I reach lvl 80 andfind gozi itans doing so.
- farm Countess until I get Tir, Ral and Amn.
- try to shop a better Staff from Drognan.
- farm anywhere to find a flawes Topaz and a 3 os Armor. (Maybe CS?)
- go clear the cow level
- advance to hell

So my future plans:
Im going to run the CS until merc reaches lvl 80.
Maybe I'm going to find a base for Lionheart while doing so. Would be awesome.
I still don't unterstand myself, how I could sell this Cuirass. I just noticed, that most of
the exeptional light armor types can't get 3 sockets. Only Cuirass and Mageplate, so I basicly
sold the best I can get atm
I collected a perf Topaz too, so I can try to roll an armor if I find something good.
I would go with any medium heavy armor too, I guess.
I hope find a flawless Diamond, too. So I could cube it and then upgrade rattlecage of merc.
Might help in Cowlevel.
So, when merc hits lvl 80 I'm going to clear the cow level. Maybe I can find a base for Lionheart there, too

So, see you soon with some pictures of my trip the Cowlevel.

lol, finding a +6 orb is just impossible
And spirit would take to much strength, plus I'm not using ladder onyl RWs. Would have to find a Lidless or something.
But I'm pretty happy with this Leaf

Drognan smiled on ya I see
Nice leaf, good to see progress!

I remember once getting a +3 bolt +3fb 2os staff on the second try lol.. I was like ..well that was fast ahah
gl on cows! be careful

can you show your sword ^^ ?

you must have a lot of lightning dmg to make the lightning mastery pay off, because you do about 700 dmg more than my sorc does. i just hit lvl 74 and killed baal. my style is a bit different than yours, i use ES (lvl1) and am maxing TK right now. I also use glacial spike to freeze guys(lvl 1). I have taken some pics but not too much, maybe ill post them tomorrow:P I found a kuko-shakuko and use it and kill very fast while my merc tanks, although i have my shield on switch. in normal I found a war staff with 2 chant 3 es and cubed it 4 socket, i made memory in it. you have gotten nice drops on runes and stuff, i hope to start mf runs now to find some upgrades.

your WT is the first i ever read. came across it while bored and looking around on JSP

you actually inspired me to maybe make a thread like this myself, but prolly with a druid or something

keep it up mate! its really fun to read

your writing style is awesome

And everything thanks to your advice! I really thought vendors would only spawn
magic staffs after around level 24 or something.
Thanks a lot again



Thanks buddy, I will


Sure! It's still Ginther's Rift, found from an Eldritch run.


New picture for you tho



I don't have this much lightning damage on equip right now. Only 5 - 88 from some charms. Not as much as I was hoping for. The more in damage I have my come from Ginther's, which has not to low Phys damage and additional magic damage. I also use a might merc right now.
Bowsorc is another cool built, but not untwinked as far as I am concerned.
Remember tho, that the char screen is lying about your damage when using ranged attacks. You won't get the Mastery damages even if it's shown on screen. But as long as you kill fast enough you should not care to much But don't stat Lighting Mastery, since it won't do you any benefit.
I was using Glacial Spike sometimes, too. But tbh I'm not feeling to good about it. Maybe it will help in cows tho.



Don't wait posting your WT! I can only tell you, that it's double the fun.

about the run:
Did not have playtime yet.
But I'm heavily thinking of changic my merc into a freezer, especially for the Secret Cowlevel.
I guess he will be doing enough dmg with the Bonhew and the CB and DS drom G-Face and Rattlecage even without
might. On the other hand, freezing the baddies myself is pretty scary in certain istuations and does not work at all
vs cold immunes ofc.
You guys have been a huge help countless times, so... any advice?!
