Has anyone built a char around clearing maggot’s lair? If not, why not?

Lvl 3 is a lvl 85 area. The narrow passages are annoying but can be used to your advantage. All mobs will be lined up in a straight line with a single choke point, which means you can’t get surrounded. They are also kinda permanantly stuck.

This might be a safe hardcore mf strategy for early ladder. Any experience you care to share? What would be a good build for this? What’s your strategy? Sounds like a good area for fire sorcs. Nuke the corridors and little caves with meteor where mob density is high. They can’t really run so are basically sitting ducks for meteors to land. Sorc’s teleport negates the mobility issue.

why not stony tombs then?

Stony tomb


Stony tombs for sure. But it gets boring after a while. Just a random thought that came up. Why not maggot’s lair? Trying to figure out why this area got passed on. Hidden gem or just a garden pebble.

Maggot lair is too cramped and it takes too long to get there. Bad farm spot

ok.

first of all only level 3 is 85 right? so you have to run/tele all the way to maggot lair, get through lvl 1 and 2 until you can farm? kind of a hassle imo.

now you were talking about early ladder. on the off chance that youre not making a sorc you probably wont have teleport (or maybe just a staff/ammy which is gonna get annoying real quick). this results in you having to fkn fight through all the random mobs on lvl 1 and 2 and sometimes theres those corners which are super annoying.

youre gonna shoot a lot of spells into walls and not hit shit. its narrow and smells bad. at least you do have 4-5 packs (i think) on level 3, which is okish.

Maggot Lair is nice to farm. Fireball sorc owns it.

the best "spell" in the game is lightning fury

it has fast travel speed, long range, aoe

if the javazon didnt suck it would easily be the best build purely because the skill itself is the best skill in the game from a function aspect



compared to hammers, hammers forms a circle, doesnt "chase" enemies. they have to walk into them. or you have to go hunt the enemy down
