Got 2 sorc's, doing quest bugged diablo runs. It's easy to run, using static field and merc. Going through act 5 is going to take time, but baal probably gives better drops and also the big exp boost from the packs. But takes a bit longer to run. Level 29 atm. Is it the right time or is it better to stay at diablo? A run takes about 10 minutes.

you could wait for lvl30 to get access to your masteries as a dmg increase

That was a good tip. Did about 20 qb diablo runs, that was a good number. Gone to baal now at level 32 (33 after ancients) and it works well.

One general tip i have, is that normal council members give quite good experience from level 22 to 24.

Just start walk act 5 and you should be ~35 or something like that when you are at Baal, then you can stay there levels 35-45 and then go to NM. First thing to find is Lum rune for your Smoke RW for Ress 🙃 Btw which Sorc’s you have ?

hard to farm Lum in nightmare...
as u can see, better do it in hell


countess norm drop chance player1



countess nightmare drop chance player1



countess hell drop chance player1






also smoke is not that important on nightmare...

farm these items on act1 nightmare:

spirit sword
ancients pledge
lore
stealth
caster craft'd belt
shop'd/gamble'd boots/gloves
fcr/resi rings/amu

get 63 fcr (78 if lightning), at least 60 fhr and max all resis

if u want 105 fcr (117) u need to find magefist/vipern...



when u reach lvl 70, with that setup u can start carefully farm ur lum rune on hell and rebuild ur equip with smoke to get hell ready

Ssf pre baal I always grind edritch/shenk til I feel ready. Lv35 you should steam roll act5 with just ancient pledge/spirit

Yeah that area isn't bad. Just that the plan here is to quest bug baal ^^ Yes i traded for spirit, doing good in normal, went on to nm now.

100% you would want to wait until level 30. The level 30 skills or mastery buff are HUGE for helping you in normal end game bosses.

Right i see. Thanks for the tip Remember to next time.
