Made it to Act 4 with the summon necro, getting my ass beat by those floating spirit things that shoot lightning bolts. By the way use amplify damage on mobs and decrepify on bosses, I was just using decrepify on everything no wonder shit was going so slow.

Yeah I figured that out too. Apparently dim vision is good for ranged mobs. I hadn't needed it really but then I started struggling with act 5 nm javelin cats. They started to get really annoying. Apparently it also works well against shaman/reviver mobs too, so I will probably need it for fallen shamans since skeletons don't really have any logic behind what they attack first.

Dim Vision is good. Hardcore players use it a lot for extra safety (especially against those annoying Burning Souls).

Is the Sorceress a very late bloomer type of class? She kind of sucks very early on. Takes 3 or more Firebolts to kill white mobs and thats with 5 points in it.
The Sorc is quite a situational class due to immunes. Each element has areas and bosses that it's particularly suited to (e.g. Mephi and The Ancient Tunnels for Cold Sorcs). They're not so good at progressing through the whole game (minus just Teleporting through). Hybrids can do it, but sacrifice a lot of power and killing speed compared to builds like the Hammerdin. A good merc can also help.

The one type of Sorc that can easily handle anything is a well geared Light Sorc with an Infinity merc (but that'll be expensive, especially at this point). Infinity removes a good chunk of Light Immunes, but less for Fire and even fewer for Cold.

beats quaffing mana potions and is cheaper and faster than running to town all the time

I like bashing things with Civerbs Cudgel early on.

Getting an Enchantress to buff your attack (and using Ravenclaw) is nice too.

You can do a variety of 'casters don't suck if you don't cast only' early game since you can respec 3 times and then infinite times after you beat Hell Baal
Druid can grab poison creeper early on and then go melee, sorceress has bow early then enchant as you said, trapsin can go melee, boner just go zookeeper, auradin uh... just go auradin.
Think that's all unless you count singer barb in which case you're barbing wrong untill like level 60

Started on Friday after work, up to level 71 blizz sorc. Not much stuff so far. Ali baba and 28% nagelring are my best finds so far. Just starting to do MF runs though.
Gear:
+2 cold skills coronet with other useless mods
blade of ali baba - 71% MF
milabrega's orb shield - 25% MF
+2 cold skills, +8 strength, +7 cold res +8 lit res ammy
"Stealth" runeword light plate
crafted blood gloves with 9 dex, 19 life, 29 poison res, 14% MF, 3%LL, 10% crushing blow. my first crafted item and while not valuable, they aren't bad.
Nagelring 28% MF
rare ring 10 FCR, 11 res all, 13 dex, 6% MF
rare boots with 25% MF

Total MF = 169. niice Looking for a 3 soc helm to triple topaz

Incidentally, don't forget to craft, yall. IIRC level 71-77 are the sweet spot to craft blood gloves and caster belts and a lot of other gear.

its fairly good. not godly by any means but for for randomly found stuff, decent chance you would use level 30ish for the resist.

Was able to get Insight for my merc.
My mana regen is a lot better, and now I get to Meph pretty easily.
But my merc dies pretty fast.
What other gear do y'all recommend I use for him?

Yeah you can craft a blood helm for him to get a small life steal boost, that's what I was using. Also craft a Treachery if you can.

Treachery


Blood Helmet craft recipe
Helmet Base - Magic Helm/Casque/Armet
Rune - Ral
Gem - Perfect Ruby
Jewel - Any Jewel

I found one of these in Durance of Hate on my way to Hell Mephisto. Tal Rashas helm would be great too.

Trying to level a Sorceress early on is horrible. Shes so underpowered compared to every other class.

jump a tristram train to level 18 and then play through the game how you want.

series of games that run tristram in act 1, normal difficulty. someone runs from stony way WP to the red portal, drops a TP, everyone cleans out tristram in ~90-120 seconds, do 30-40 of those and you are level 18.

most players after first few characters get into power leveling their characters. what i would typically try for

level 1-15 tristram
16-20 tombs
21-24 cows
25 ancients way
26-45 baal normal
46-70 baal nm
71-85 chaos sanctuary hell
86+ baal hell

or if you get glitch rushed then you start chaos sanctuary right away, assuming that hasn't been nerfed.

I miss Uber Levelling (well, not the lag that came with it). That got you from 1-90 in no time.

Then there was Hell Cows when it was actually good (for Exp.).

It's alright, but only really good with a useful skill (Lightning / Chain Lightning / Fire Ball / Blizzard) and +15% to the matching element.

I've been having a pretty good time with this on PC, but the amount of crashes is pretty extreme. I can't figure out what's causing them, but seeing as how some others (but apparently not all) are getting the same issue, I imagine it's something to do with the game rather than my system. This PC is almost brand new and otherwise runs the game just fine...

Are the PS4 or Switch versions any more stable? I get that the multiplayer is way more restricted but I don't really care too much about MP anyway.

you can still G rush. Helped my buddy do it the other day.

basically when you get to act 5, you skip ancients. And then make a Baal quest game, and hope someone who has the quest joins the game. Then you sit in town while they kill Baal, but still get credit.

rinse and repeat to hell. Then chaos runs.

Not sure if this is always the case or because I am using controller, but now in hell and seeing elemental shield icons when highlighting enemies. Is that immunity or just resistance (and I didn't notice before)? I'm guessing immunity but this wasn't how it was displayed in original d2 so I'm not certain. Haven't encountered a phys one yet so I can't really test it out.

Also is 4 soc gorgon crossbow worth anything to zon?

Oh shit it looks like amp curse does break phys immunity. The sheidl icon for phys disappears on these ghosts when cursed and while skeletons don't do much damage, they do take them down (having a few mages helps too). I may not need corpse explosion as much as I expected to, but it's also awesome for clearibg corpses around revivers.

What the fuck...

Countess dropped 2 fucking tir runes... and in doing so dropped the o from her name . Welp I guess I am farming here for a while. No more progress until I get at least 1 decent rune from her. Must be Io or higher. I vould use more levels anyway and her area wasn't bad enemy wise.

Yeah that was capital i >_>. Hel was best she dropped for me in nm, so Io (io) or higher is what I'm looking for. I don't expect to get anything past Fal unless I am really lucky.

Also lmao at the shield type called "troll nest." That was not double entandre when they made the game originally.

It's an immunity icon. When I first got into hell difficulty I couldn't tell what monsters were immune to because I didn't know about the shield icon, you can barely see it. Why change to that when the colored text was just fine? It's dumb and doesn't make any sense.
