First time matting a char in 1.09

[fearedbliss]

So I finally did the following:

1. Matted a char in 1.09
2. Beat the game with only 1 char (As opposed to beating the game in self-mp with a Necro/Barb in a TCP-IP game in 1.13)

The sorc did receive help from my 1.09 barb in NM for Duriel I believe. But after that, I pretty much did Hell on the sorceress completely alone. The ancients in 1.09 were pretty easy, the only challenging part of it was that Talic had extra fast and didn't want to get slowed/frozen with my Frozen Orb. Other than that, ancients was a breeze, and so was Throne and WSK.

There is still a lot more I want to do in 1.09 and this is just the beginning but I'm definitely happy I've accomplished this .

Screenshot 002 = Hell Baal Quest Drops
003 = Mat Screen
004 = Menu Screen

Overall, 1.09 is soooooooooooooooo much easier than 1.10+... and I like it. I had struggled so much to play Hell on 1.10+ but on 1.09 Hell was actually very very enjoyable.

I definitely love 1.09 and it's definitely the best patch for me.

-------------------

bonus info: While I was mfing for the first time on this sorc in 1.09, I was very lucky I guess with the drops because they were great. In 1 day I found:

1. Occy
2. Stormshield
3. Skullders
4. Another Ali-Baba (Eth though )
5. Vipermagi
6. Peasant Crown (I call it a mini shako)
7. Tals Belt
8. Crown of Thieves
9. A bunch of other set items like Sigon, IK, etc

Overall, this is a very nice start. Now time to build a treasure and become rich and powerful Muahahahahha

Hey good job!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only who still plays 1.09

Are you planning to do a sept?

robbyd, thanks . My main goal is to get to level 99 and get rich/powerful, however, I'm thinking that I want to make a zon so that I can take advantage of the guided/piercing bug, also multi shot + psn dmg . It's just too much fun to not do.

pharphis, thanks ;D

ERayz, thanks. I don't know what is a sept haha.

 

[pharphis]

a sept refers to one of each character class as guardian or mat/pat. I've started 2 sets of septs but I'm too lazy to play assassins or druids

 

[fearedbliss]

oh lol, I'll do that then but I'll definitely be rushing them and power leveling some of them as well if I find it boring.

 

[RobbyD]

You know a Rhyme provides more MF than Mila's shield AND actually provides a lot of useful other stuff to boot.

Pharphis - Druids are actually not that much hassle. Won't say that about Sins tho.

 

[fearedbliss]

robbyd, I'm going to make one once I get a shael

Regarding the sept.. I might not make all chars since I'm not really interested in every single char, but we will see what happens. I might make a char not to take it seriously but just to experiment with skills.
