Back after so long...

Back after so long...

I can remember the first time I played 1.09 on Bnet. It was back when in my country broadband was the stuff of very rich people and internet cafes, and that's where lots of my money as a highschool student went.

Then times moved on...highschool moved on. College came, I retook back my old passion, in 1.11. This time I had more friends playing, they were rich, and pro. And they liked me well enough to help me play this game without any hassle, giving me equipment and runes and stuff. Loved it. There really was one thing I enjoyed then, with my perfectly geared hammerdin: MF runs.
PVM was for me and that was it...a perfect HotO on a knout (wich I had been scammed into trading for a 39 HotO on a flail...it took me a month to realise it was the most profitable scam someone did to me.) Harlequin crest, enigma and everything else on a killing machine wich made farm games where people flocked to join. Then came the ladder reset and I took a break.

But my friends dragged me back in, and I wanted to try something new. But I couldn't stand the idea of a character that would have trouble soloing anything, so my friend instructed me to make a lightning sorc...and somehow gathered the mats for an infinity. It all came to that, and the highlight of my loot runs was a 17%/14% Griffon. Those were the times.

So now, after two ladder resets(one of them still incoming) I have returned. My disks are still in prime shape, i'm proud i have kept them so well. And I will use the time until the ladder reset to hone my skills with a char.

After some thinking, I came to this conclusion. I don't want to play another pally, and enigmas will be expensive after the wipe. Fishymancers seem both complicated to play and slow. And lightning sorcs just don't cut it. So...meteorb it is. Feel free to make suggestions. And point me to the classical meteorb guid(me sloth). I welcome them all. I really wouldn't have expected so many people to(still)be playing this game.

Edit: I seem to have entered too many games...how long is the lockout period blizz put on my account/connection for that? I was running Tristram.

I just wanted to say HI to someone from Romania. Hello :wave:

The temp ban can be a few minutes or a few hours. Usually I just wait ten and try again.

There are a lot of meterorb guides out there but I find I end up using fireball more than meteor anyway. Therefor I max fireball, meteor and split up points between firemastery and firebolt. Max frozen orb and get enough into cold mastery to hit 17 (-100% resist) and you are good to go. With a good setup you can solo any area in the game without much trouble. My standard game run is countess, andariel, summoner, mephisto, eldritch, shenk, nilithak, Baal. Extending the runs keeps me from getting those awful temp bans.

Welcome back, if you need anything look me up ingame. keishacoo2

Hi,

Welcome back!

I stopped playing for quite some time and also made a short return a couple of years ago. I chose a meteorb sorcy, too, and she was much fun. ^^ You can pretty much find everything you need in the sorcy guides' thread stickied here:

Maybe this summer when I have more free time, I will come back to play again.

Cheers,

Re: Back after so long...

Thank you for the suggestion, but after following Socialism's frozen orb/fireball build i'm having a blast. Literally.
I recommend that build to everyone who likes a change of pace. It might not be the fastest Meph soloer, but I guarantee you will have fun.
