VGaze + SoE = 40 MDR. You are totally fine with that, you do not need Skullders anymore (unless you want to reach 375 and 556 MF breakpoints).
I would recommend Shaftstop instead.

After reaching Hell LK, you can start racking your end game stuff. :)

I strongly recommend to get these gloves and use them alternately (depending on the situation):
- Ghoulhide Heavy Bracers - 4% Bonus To Attack Rating Against Undead per Clvl, +8% Damage To Undead per Clvl
- Laying of Hands Bramble Mitts - +350% damage to demons, 50% fire absorb

For end game weapons, Bul Kathos' set is a great option, as the full set bonus gives you +200% damage to demons and undead. Both swords can be racked in LK.

And of course your ultimate armor shall be Arkaine's Valor, however reaching lvl85 on P1 will be time consuming (XP gain is OK until 75).

With Mav's belt you can also switch to Goblin Toe boots, to have 25% CB (will be enough for the rest of the game).


God I'd totally forgot that SoE gave some MDR too, that's brilliant! I'll go for the Shaftstop for sure. Had a few mesh racks while looking for russet too! :cry: I'm an absolute nub.
Will definitely take those recommendations on board and work towards getting into Hell LK for them :-) Getting BK swords will be nice with 1/125 rather than 1/1000 each!

Yeah level 85 seems a long way off at the moment. Are hell Cows viable for end-game xp in 1.07 do you know?
Thanks again for the advice, forever appreciated!

Great WT, amazing finds from the racks!

That old style Valk wing though :drool: Who's wearing it currently?

*edit* Love the idea of dual BK swords for endgame, back when they were viable :love:


Thanks!!
Yeah I really like the valk! :D - though only use it for rack running :( will possibly consider using it for future with other tanky gear but just seem too squishy without Vgaze on currently.

Yes, similar to 1.09 cow runs provide very good XP up till 99.
However cow-running is quite time consuming for a non-AoE char, and cows can hit quite hard without blocking.
I would recommend quick SU farming instead (Pindle and Eldricht).

1. Ormus trolling as usual.

2. Ugh, went into this thinking it'd be an absolute fucking nightmare, but the fire damage didn't seem to do much surprisingly!

3. Got the brains in the end.

1. Flail acquired, really really annoying trying to make any progress with this. Between the 20 healing chicks and 300 zealots surrounding the place it was just miserable.

2. Teleporting bosses healing themselves was never really much of an issue so far, just a bit annoying; but holy shit this took it to another level.
Must have killed him from 80% to 10% about 15 times, AND he teleported into different mob packs and aw it was just a bloody nightmare.

3. Done. Will not be stepping foot into Durance until I've got some more gear, those little explodey shits will kill me, I can feel it.
Back to racking for the foreseeable future. :-)

Ahh nice one, does that affect any other mob skills?

Also small update; just lost my Vgaze, a bunch of runes (admittedly the highest Fal or something) gems and all my FRW charms while muling. :cry:
Ohh boy. Pretty annoyed at myself, but it could have been A LOT worse. So glad I got to Hell LK before this happened otherwise I'd be grinding out Vgaze again, I'll go straight for Shako now I think.
Really really annoyed at myself, such a stupid mistake. That's what I get for muling I suppose! :(
