My lvl89 warlock died to a doll yesterday and I need help choosing what to get to lvl99 with. I play online solo only, so as long as I can clear P1 fast, I don't need to go for higher dmg.

What would be the fastest lvler while being reasonably tanky under those circumstances? Ideally it would be a build that can perform ok even if I don't manage to farm an enigma or some other expensive item.

So far I am wondering between ES Nova sorc or lightning trapsin but any build ideas are appreciated. I've never played ES sorc before so I don't really know how tanky it really is, but having teleport from the start is enticing. Are there no-go areas for the build where I would immediately get popped by some type of enemy?

Singer barb also looks kind of fun but I don't know whether the damage would be enough to clear fast even on P1.

Use stormshield with max block. Stack health instead of mf. Don't farm areas with dolls or souls. Avoid most of act 3 and act 5. Don't get in range of monsters with conviction aura unless you have stacked resists. Wear nature's peace ring if farming destruction keys, his corpse explosion hits hard.

p1 sucks for 99 though It's gonna take too long. If you have to farm p1 then play a barb to hunt elites and use find item. At least you'll find more items.

Tanky would be your pally. Zeal is pretty effective with life tap necro wand

Roll a dice and tell whoch charachter you got, after that we will siggest a non op build for you.

I ended up playing trapsin and finally got to 99. I gave up on playing solo around lvl90 because the experience gain was insanely slow :)
