What route will you take this upcoming ladder? Basically, how will you go from zero to hero?

I'm thinking of rushing as hydra sorc, switching to tri-spec until I farm a cold or lightning sunder from p1 t2 heralds, then either go blizz or lightning for keys. After trading for marrowwalks/crescent moon/malice sword/lawbringer/kiras/treachery, I'll try budget ubers with the sorc. Will build into a 200 fcr variant after that, not sure which. Also making an abyss lock.

same shit as always, but this time they make it easier with latent sunders now dropping every where lol.

#1 you are a poor asses with no fg to buy shit

blizzard sorc > run mephistos until you are lvl 88+(so your merc can tank and kill cold immune seal boss in chaos) > run chaos until you could afford griffon/infinity/cta > swap to light sorc and run it until season is over or make op fire sorc to be elite sniper

#2 you are loaded

skip all step above to just jump to buying griffon/infinity/enigma/cta and jump right into a light sorc/hammerdin, used to be moasic sin there but since they remove it from ladder you back to old school light sorc and hammerdin

It's fun to build up even if you're wealthy! Ladder day 1 is the great equalizer

Pure summon warlock with the A3 lightning merc. I'm not going for maximum efficiency and profit. I want to have fun with my demons and I'm sure it'll turn out great in the end. It always does.

Wouldn’t say that. Watched a party member in our Baal run build an enigma in under 5 hours. Fg talks.

is having an early enigma like something they just jack themselves off to? You’re not playing the game, you aren’t skilled, you’re just buying shit so what’s the point. might as well play sp if you’re just going to cheat shit in
