Hi Folks,

My previous three WTs were on Classic. This time I decided to attempt D2LoD while playing Sorc the right way - with staves!

Rules:

  • hc
  • /players1 for the most part - I find this more enjoyable.
  • not going to abuse LK, at least not until I finish all quests on hell
  • no mods, no ladder rws


Goals:

  • beat hell Baal
  • find nice staff
  • rescue Minsc from Gnoll Fortress


I think I will aim for some sweet Memory rw in nice +main skill staff. Because I won't have shield so ES is a must for me if I want to survive on hardcore.

However... I'm not sure what skills I should use as main attack. Was thinking about firewall + frozen orb. Remember I need to max telekinesis for ES synergy. Any advices :)?

Let's go!


Cain rescued. Sweet 10fcr 9mf ring as a reward :)


Akara sold me +3 icebolt staff. I think I will as a cold sorc. Fire won't do me any good in act 4.

Good luck!

Edit: relying on energy shield in pvm is hard because mana burn enemies will bring it down immediately

Nice man, you could easily go /players8 with Blizz sorc, even self-found they really smash anything that isn't cold immune.

Also consider HotO for endgame staff ;) I made a sick one here ^_^

Chromatic Ire is a really great staff to pick up in nightmare, better than Memory I think!

Good luck!

I'll give it a try. Maybe I won't encounter them that often. I have in mind Souls, so I need to take care of light resist just in case they bring it down. btw nice signature image :)

In the meantime I bought +3 ice blast staff - for the big guys. I keep it on switch. Also Akara had +3 inferno 2s white staff. I could make it +9 inferno with leaf runeword :D

That's brilliant idea and you found there wonderfull staff! It did not occur to me that I can make hoto in anything else than flail. BN stereotypes...

Now I don't even know if I want to continue this WT. Your sorc is more or less what I decided to do now. Hmm... maybe reading will be enough?

Well she RIP'd in Chaos Sanctuary right after getting Guardian so you'd be the only staff sorc here right now that I know :D

It is great fun, definitely worth making :)
