Oh boy, that's gonna be a long,
epic road.
In case you didn't know, in 1.07 there is a bug that allows you to dual wield illegal weapon combinations, for example 2 staves or 2 orbs as Sorceress.
Blocking is kind of shit in 1.07 because you need even more Dex than in later patches, so you might as well forget about a shield all-together and start dual-wielding weapons. (Just imagine dual-wielding two Wizardspikes!)
Here's how you do it, hopefully it's clear enough:
Quote
make sure there is nothing equipped in primary II or secondary II
equip the weapon or shield that you want to use into primary I
hold the weapon or shield you wish to glitchwield on your cursor
hover the cursor over the secondary II slot
switch from II to I, and as soon as you do so, equip the item into the secondary slot
It doesn't work as Barbarian of Assassin.
And be warned that forwarding your character to 1.08+ while glitchwielding will delete one of the items, so be sure to unequip one of them before you forward the character.
The Valkyrie helm is the same in 1.07/1.08 fyi, so you can just get it wherever it's more convenient.
Chromatic Ire is a sweet staff (+50% max life, +20 FCR, +25 all res, +3 sorc skill). Combining it with Wizardspike is awesome.
Skullder's Ire is great because the +25 MDR is not nerfed yet in those patches. It helps greatly against Lightning Enchanted + Multiple Shot monsters, and practically makes you immortal against any per-frame attacks like Fire Walls.
Also be careful at Baal. His "corkscrew" attack is not Inferno-like, but rather a one-shot attack dealing high (pure magic) damage.
On Nightmare and Hell your magic resistance is affected by the difficulty penalty (-40 and -100), so his attack does an absurd amount of damage.
If it crits on Hell it will do at least 2048 damage, but even a non-crit of at least 1024 damage is going to be rather painful. (Baal's Clone casts the same spells, dealing the same damage.)
Stay at range, keep moving.
I assume you're familiar with the LE+MS situation. Don't forget to check monster affixes on Nightmare and Hell.
It can vaporize you within milliseconds if you don't pay attention.
Good luck man, juicy patches!
