BUDGET!!! suggestions

is it possible to be able to run Chaos/cows in hell with out any of the +skill equipment most suggest here?

I would be running around w/ a 20-25 LF with 1 or 2 synergies. a bow on switch to try and mana leech or freeze arrow (not sure)

what are the thoughts? I am quite poor and even though I have a decently high lvl druid who mfs in NM, but cannot seem to pull anything worth value...

I'm also not an experience trader so that doesn't help.

any suggestions and/or thoughts would be appreciated.

Solo chaos isn't that hard if build a good char and get some depending gear. I assume that you go with the lightning route. So if you manage to get a conviction pole-arm for your merc, you should be set run chaos withour much problem.
Other option would to go with a hybride. Fa and lightning fury/charged strike are good option.

The point in easy, if you make a good amazon, you can start running the easier alvl 85 area's, get some nice gear and then go for the big guys. As long as you run solo, it's not that hard to get started.

Re: BUDGET!!! suggestions

Ok cool...

so LF/CS and FA no synergies for FA (even synergized at lvl 20 only 1K or dmg)

I would most likely be running solo, (maybe w/ one other)

I don't consider the first list budget as well, I have NONE of those items. have about zero chance to get a torch or anni.

what about Ormus Robe? adds to damage right? I have a twitchthrow (ias/fhr/frw) but really the defense is abysmal.

doubt I'll ever get Infinity polearm... (ber, mal, ber, ist) seriously?

That was budget build. I dont know what realm your on, but on europe you can get these items for pgs each.

Walkyrie Ving: 1-5pgs
Peace: Shael+Thul+Amn(3-4pgs total)
Razortail: 2-3pgs
Silkweave: 1-3pgs
+3java/(10IAS): 5pgs(if no IAS, then 1pg)
or a rare +2skill/20ias/any mods(from 1pg and up)
Lidless: 3-5pgs
Spirit Monarch: tal+thul+ort+amn(6-8pgs total)
Titans: 5pgs
Cats eye: 4-5pgs
rare +2skills/mana/light-fireres: from 1pg and up
crafted +2skills/10frw: 10pgs and up
rare resist/stat ring: 1pg and up
Nagel: 1pg up to 20 for a 30mf
Torch: 10pgs and up

scs frw(1pg), resists(1-10pgs), life(1-40pgs), mana(1-15pgs), fhr(1pg)

I'm also not an experience trader so that doesn't help.

We all have to start somewhere.

Re: BUDGET!!! suggestions

Ok, thanks

I play on East... seems like i can never trade for pgems (people only want topaz's)

alright, I'll use that as a good guide, see if I can come up w/ anything this week.

cheers

Re: BUDGET!!! suggestions

East ladder? As mentioned above, you can get most of them by pgems. BTW, you do need synergy of FA (max Cold arrow only). Read this one for more info: http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=464188

LF/FA hybrid zon => aka fishyzon

You have some options for bows:
Wizendraw --> for its massive - cold resist (up to -35).
Melody Rune words in +3 skill zon bow --> make it +6 bow skill
Hormony bow --> no more plus bow skill but with many other goodies (vigor aura, elemental damage....)
Kuko Shakaku --> temp bow, +3 bow skill, pierce but a bit slow
Lycander's Aim --> +2 zon, +2 bow skill.

179% is fine you will just do a little less physical damage. But if the point of the build was physical damage then it would matter. Thats about the least important mod on titans.

You should think about getting an insight for your merc, it will solve your mana problems and is cheap to get. Sol is the highest rune for it.

Yes cowing is perfect for you right now until you get better equip. You can clear a cow game quickly and lots of enemies = lots of chances to drop.

No cows aren't 85, They are 80-81 I think. What is good to pick up is socketables, Rare rings/ammys/gloves/boots/belts, uniques, Small and Grand Charms, and last but not least Gold.
