guilds really are the best way forward, we will try fit you in one time, we just did most of a run and tried out a load of new techniques, but pm me if im free mate, and ill let you know if we have space or anything to fit you in, we can teach you and help you where required, and also where we can!

being in a solid guild that will take new guys under their wing is always gunna be a way in which you can progress mate, always someone to slash with, we have 5-6 active hc slashers here, a few inactive ones, and also friends that we play with in other guilds, never a shortage of people, worst case is 3 man groups! better than solo'ing

sounds good to me allways open to learning new tactics specially since i am green and new to the game and i have to agree best way to get a group of people connected and a good mix. will be online if u do manage to get another one going let me know

rest of the guys gone to bed mate, but we should be slashing over the weekend (ill be quite busy with rl for next few days but may get an hour here or there)

Simple rule of thumb:

1. built to solo
2. if you get in a group... make sure you can accomodate that group with speed
3. if they think you are a nub, but, you can solo and not die... then their assumptions are null and void.

I like solo'ing... only reasons why... my timezone... I go use to it, and this group gaming is a hell of alot faster.

Examples:

Solo for me = 1-71 to 36 hours (being drunk and a lot of outside real life things happening]
Group sorted = 1-71 to like 3 to more hours... so that means if everyone stayed online.. i get in like 10 MQs...

Ah Excelent thats good stuff to know for the future indeed

what Timezone are you guys mainly active on?

even i have to sleep sometime lol! just only once every 36 hours or so XD



mostly 7pm-12pm eastern usa time.

myself and rex (the other guy you just quoted) are from England (me) and New Zealand (Rex) so we kinda just flutter between, however im on like permananltly, if im not, its cause my fiance is here or im sleeping... other than that i am out of work due to torn shoulder muscles that are taking months and months to heal (need surgery soon) and have nothing to do lol...

Indeed we are all human ;P even if a bit we must rest

and cool stuff hope ya recover well that sounds painful and indeed kill some time with some gaming is good


check this out http://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=912953&p=463998 baught a weap and a armor for 1fg each making leveling easymode for now and found a nice charm much easier than to level up with the rusty dagger hehe

you're definitely heading in the correct direction, that is for sure!

with regards to your gear, your scale armour is perfect for what you need it for, tanking to stop damage hitting you hard. im gunna post a few things here but lemme know if its too much or you want me to explain in more detail, but ill give you a little help with a rogue build.

Rogues can use most weapons, and to get damage, the most important mod straight away is going to be Enhanced Effect (EE). This will drive more damage at the monster, other mods are cool, but not necessary as you will be killing the mob

Armor, well theres 2 routes you can go down here, personally for a cheaper build that you can last longer with killing i would take a Medium class armor, which would be Leather and Scale armor, with enhanced effect, however you may also want "stat" armor instead, or even as well to depend on if its a group or a solo climb, the stat you want will depend entirely on the weapon you use. a good choice would be say a dagger and then dex armor, or axe with either or (a dagger ratio is 10:90. which says for every 10 str you have, 90 dex would be optimal, so stat everything towards dex) (axe is 50:50, so if you get 20 dex off a charm, stat equal str, depending on your base stats ofc)

Charms, to get the best damage always use Stat charms structured around the stat that you need for that weapon, so daggers in the 10:90 ratio, just get dex all the way (ratio is always determined by STR:DEX)

and lastly and most importantly, if you are going to solo alot of your climb, i would say make sure the first thing that you do is raise your base vitality to 90 or so! this will make sure you get lots of hp for later levels, may not seem alot now, but for each level you get, 1 vita = 1hp, so at level 70, that extra 1 vita is 71hp! (includes level 0 as a level)

Thanks much for the gear advice will for sure be trying to get those as i level up

was just wondering about a build let me ask you a question when i hit the level for MQ does my class covert to a ninja,samurai etc or do you roll a new character from level 1 to be that character?

was thinking of making something to complemenet a future monk or ninja but if its a new character might just stat differently

also what abilities do you recommend for rogue have not used any points in those

You are on feeder class, so when you mq you have a chance to unlock sammy...
And you will start back at lvl 1, but if you fail mq u will still be on feeder class.

E: for rogue it depends, i usaully go with powerstrike
