Remember "Grrrrr", the barb I walked to the imbue quest for the diadem? Well, I played him today to get to Drognon. Yes he is twinked to the gills. I am going to make Grrr the gold find barb I think.

I ended up shopping several +3 blessed hammer grand scepters, and one +2 blessed hammer scepter already with 3os. I gave up looking for + to conc & hammer... it is pretty boring running in & out of town. This is as close as I got to finding both on one item:



The first one I cubed got 3os:


Lawbringer rolled a 16:

I then ran Nilathek about 7 times, and three times he dropped a key, so pretty sweet!





I do notice that some undead archers occasionally are slain by the sanctuary aura, and those corpses do explode. So still ISO a natures peace ftw.

I like running Nil because of the high level he is, as well as the hoards of normal monster that can drop good white pally shields. Although the ranged attackers can be annoying, especially if there are both archers and hell temptresses.

Only the monsters slayin by your merc can explode, your aura aint deal enough dmg to kill anything in p8

doesnt look like he is using a merc in the last two pics atleast.

Hey nice drop from Nihla

Up -->

probably died. what level is ur pally now?

The damage from the aura does not simply kill anyone in P8!

68-84 at lvl 16, source: http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/paladin-offense.shtml

I belive that monsters do regen more life in P8 than that dmg

Its not for the damage, it's for the knock back of the dead. Works wonders in tight spots with tons of dead critters

If I've got RIP item then I always let council kill off the merc before going down to Nil.






Yeah, I thought so too. Near as I can figure my hammers beat them to within a millimeter of their life right before sanctuary damage finished them. Or perhaps more likely is that I got hit hard (by a snake perhaps?) coincident with an explosion from one of those suicide bomber dudes.. I probably have video I can review I need to start including sound.




I'm mixed on this. It makes it harder to target them with hammers. But, it does keep away mana burn ghosts and those undead that charge.... mostly...



Question though.. optimal jewelry for running nilathek w/ lawbringer... Two dwarf stars & maras?

uhm.. optimal with what?

if with eni you dont need to change anything so fcr ring/soj/maras (assuming 125 fcr)

guess 2 dwarfs for lowering the ce dmg or something that has x dmg reduce? depending on your fire res ofcourse. i wouldnt swap maras for anything. in general i hate anything that involves swaping stuff or precasting
