Yeah you know it's like the big problem is fragmentation, they should have just kept the original coherent, as few differentiating platforms as possible, keep people united, not divided. That's what the big problem was, and is. Money ..................

Wow! I made it once. But only after gettng the milabrega set. It was kind of funny. The hammers deal good damage then. But kind of hard to get used to. Once it gets insight n prayer, then it's easier. The hammers cuts through anything. It does work somewhat. But yes. After about 10 years of playing zon n such, i decided to test him out, yes it was different. I just can't get to like the play style. Stand there, toss hammer(s), move a bit, toss'em, move .. or just stand n spam'em. Idk. Easy. But not too tactical. I like'em a bit like you gotta think. I guess you understand. But i don't blame people for choosing'em.


Yeah, getting insight and spirit weap and shield makes things way easier at reset...


What are your strategies getting to 30 and before getting Enigma?

I normally use base point charge & zeal to charge n hammer before respec after getting gear.

Personally i will simply follow the normal routine stuff though, i've just tested it out as normally, did a normal act 1 run, got to bone ash (inner closter), level 12. I think i will focus on doing a few bone ash runs at reset, i mean just 4-5, he alwys drops loot, i've found some good stuff from him before. But not staying long. Get good exp too there. But when playing a build like mine, one cannot stay and grind, deals not that much damage as comparet to cookie sorted builds, so i must try to press on. Was lucky enough to find arctic snow build belt, it's a nice one, though only 8 slots. But good cold resist.

I probably will not be doing tombruns, i will try to press on through act 3. Maybe do some travincal runs. Get good exp there, n my build is specialized to one on one battles.

I don't think i will be doing quest bugged runs, which is a huge risk. Did some gambling, and actually found some cool javelins n such... gambling can b good... will try to collect stuff n sell it ...

Simply just to try to advance, n not get stuck. That is the plan.I mean in early nightmare, you get crazy good exp even at level 30. I will just do it that way. It will be interesting.

Nice, just thinking, I guess it would be good to do some old school Trist runs @ level 10 ... as for Den, should get to level 6 to get better Experience gain if I remember correctly, and of course I like the Scroll boss, forgot name of them by the Tree and as you stated Bone Ash, quick and simple since WP is right there... normally do him @ level 15+ and of course Andy runs to hit 30 before Act 2... I don't rush to Nightmare, so Act 2 to Act 5 without re-runs is simpler for me, I am normally 45 by the time I get to like Arreat Summit in Normal.

but then, it has been a long time since I played that way.

Good luck and have fun.
