Blocking is pretty terrible in 1.07 since you need more dex than in later patches.
Unless it's against your principles, I suggest glitchwielding 2 weapons and just forget about using a shield ^^

Thank you for the information

The only actions that make me feel like I have done something wrong would be using Hero Editor to make a high level character or to import downloadable item packs. I don't mind using the IP/TCP feature to transfer a few items as long as I'm not transferring a full characters worth of items.

I am completely down with using any bugs that can be done in game. I've done the P Gems + Ammy in cube to roll amulets with nice resist and the +MAEK rings. I haven't done the amulet one yet because I haven't focused on making perfects yet, but I did a few months ago when I first tried 1.07 SP and I will eventually do it on this character.

I just looked up the weapon bug and that seems awesome. I can use two orbs or staffs to pump extra damage and it all comes down to the timing of a button press and mouse click. Pretty damn cool. I haven't even figured out what build I want to make yet. I plan on doing that now as I saw a thread which explained builds for every character.

I don't know any other bugs as of now but I'm sure I will find more. Like I said, anyone with information are more than welcome to post. If I can do it from inside the game, I will more than likely try it out.

1.07 has a million bugs but most of them are probably not very interesting.
One bug to keep in mind is that if a monster spawns Magic Resistant, it will swap lightning resistance with cold resistance. So for example the description will sometimes say the monster is cold immune, while it really is lightning immune.
Another is that if you cast Frozen Orb, the orb stops working after it hits an enemy, so you want to cast the orb so that it doesn't hit any monsters.

These are not bugs, but imo good to know:
Cold Mastery works as a percentage rather than as a straight subtraction, so if your CM is high enough, you can damage any monster in the game even if they are "immune".
Unlike in later patches, skills like Lower Resist still work at 100% effectiveness when monsters are immune, so they're good for breaking immunities. So if you don't mind a bit of shopping, it's nice to get a wand with LR charges.

I am definitely going to buy a lower resist wand. Thank you for letting me know how to position the FO casts. I would have noticed something different, ended up getting frustrated and loosing the will to play.

Oh another item I want to find is LoH since they roll 50% fire absorb instead of 50% fire resist. I plan on bringing the character to 1.13 when I am finally finished.

Jesus, that's possibly the sickest roll I've seen. What was the highest MPK again, wasn't it low 30s?
