Ideas?

I've been around these forums, for a while quite actively. I took a break from the game, because honestly...how many times can you kill the same monsters, mf, etc. I've decided i feel like playin around with it again. Was wondering if there is any character (not requiring amazing equip, as i gave away my old account :*() that has decent mf capabilities? I don't really wanna make yet another sorc. Thanks

Skelly Necro.


Cheap and effective.

Hammerdin with Naj's Staff, or Enigma if you can afford it. By far the best MFing character I've made. Plenty of Defense, max resists, and unresistable damage. Even without the best equipment, it's still quite effective.

If I remember, my gear is:

PTopaz'd Shako
Perfect upgraded Skin of the Vipermagi, Ptopaz'd
HotO or Wizardspike
+3 Combat skills amulet
Arachnid Mesh
HoZ
28% Nagel and some other MF ring I can't readily remember
Naj's Staff on switch for teleporting [expensive repair, but usually easily covered by selling what you don't keep on your runs]

I think with charms I have 315% or so MF, maxed resists in Hell, and quite good killing speed.

yea i remember, be4 i gave my account away, i also had a mf hammerdin.
he wore enigma, p topaz enig, arach, a perf nagel and a random magic ring that was 35% to mf. hoto as wep, and i forget boots/gloves. but i do remember how long it took me to get all that gear....skelly necro sounds good...but is it just me, but it always seemed like they took forever to kill things in hell mode...no?

They'll kill just fine in hell - by the time you get there, you'll have a bunch of points in Corpse Explosion - Tossing CE on an Amp'd group takes them out in no time. You only have to wait for one monster to die to get started, and your merc usually does that for you.

reletively to a sorc, yeah they are slow, but they are much faster than a lot of other builds. They are also IMO the easiest to build with nothing, and have the best survivability in the game (theres nothing like having 18+ minions getting in the way of nasties) CE just owns monsters, and the only monsters that hurt the skelli are the ranged pierce attack monsters (gloams, the spear cats in act V, etc)
