You don’t need to play pala or run diaruns to know what conviction aura does. That green thing under your char you know ^^
Even a1 mobs can have that.

Also, how did you get to the conclusion that those are the best unique swords you could use? Not sure about the IAS bps now, but I’m pretty sure that lightsaber ’ber’ would be much better.


well, these swords have 10%dr and 35% slow, plus an amazing 50 ias and a pretty good damage (252 one hand eth upped), and remember that are very long, not short, and that are -15 base ias, very fast, just a little slower than phase blade lightsaber but with 50 ias. In conbination, i like them a lot more than lightsaber and gives you more power

i use two at the same time with frenzy, 70% slow enemy, 20% dr, super fast speed, good damage, CB in the boots, etc... imagine the result

I would have to check the IAS breakpoints with Azurewrath or Lightsaber, but it should be possible to reach the same speed as with your current setup. 2x lightsaber gives you 50% lightning abs, which would give you much better survivability against meph.

The problem is you only have 15% crushing blow in the boots, so your damage has to be pretty lousy. Gulli and a Ber in each weapon would give you 90% cb instead of your current 15%.

LOL you are the type of person who will open a can of beans with a buck knife when there is a can opener in the kitchen draw.

Anyway I think stacking resists and maybe getting Ga (um) it will make you extremely Tanky if you stack those resists from charms and gives you extra ar
X2 grandfather gives ar good dam and shael ber if you reach Max ias after a few tics
Highlords for ias + light resist and 2 ravenfrost
Skip drac for loh and get a life tap dagger on switch
Get Guillaume (um) instead of arreat
Stack resists with scs
That should kill about x2 as fast and be safer then your current setup

DUAL ETH UPPED PERFECT CRAINTE VOMIRS POWER :D


:thumbsup:

Crainte Vomir was my weapon of choice for my next to last attempt when trying to kill Ubers with an unskilled char at the lowest possible level.
Just regular ones however, because char level < 50.

Now a really easy way to proceed with unique swords only (or any weapon you like) is using Rising sun amulet, visit Diablo first and don't kill or howl its minions.
They will constantly heal you to the top.
Get rid off Baal and Mephisto first, and Diablo last.

You could use many other swords, including etheral uped Headstriker, Coldsteel eye, Vile husk (for Amplify), or etheral Djinn slayer, regular Doombringer or Grandfather.
Some CB from boots (Gore) and Helm (GFace), some open wounds or poison (not working on Mephisto however), and you're good to go.

Once you have stacked resistance, it's a piece of cake !

How exactly does somebody who joined the forum in 2005 not know that conviction aura lowers your resist?

Wasting hits on surrounding minions? Terrible advice. Just cast Howl occasionally and job done.
