intro and some questions (lengthy)
Hello everyone,
I've been a ghost reader for a while and hadn't been playing d2 until recently when i went out and bought a new copy (i'd been having having problems and lost disks/etc.)
I enjoy reading the threads (except maybe the serious/U DUPER! threads
) and thought I'd say hello.
So i started afresh and have some items saved from 1.9 that i've upgraded, but will be limited in my choices (keep that in mind when answering questions)
I took a ww fury/summoning druid through normal pretty easily with a few twinks (hwanin's weapon is nice early on), but am running into a few decisions that I'd like help on. I'll give u the stats then ask the ques's
level 48
Strength : 135
Energy : 20
Dexterity : 20
Vitality : 130
Stat Points Rem : 15
Skill Points Rem: 0
Life : 438 / 355
Mana : 181 / 114
skills--
prereq's - dwolf 3 grizzly 7 oksage 6
ww 6, lyc 7, fury 19
am using the following
venomgrip gloves (have lohands for later)
razortail belt (no good belts)
gore rider's
hwanin's justice
raven's and manald heal and nokozon relic - best amulet found so far
lionheart duskshroud (can use next level up)
and the following piece of .... helm
Armageddon Visage
Wolf Head
Defense: 11
Durability: 20 of 20
(Druid Only)
Required Strength: 16
Required Level: 35
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 46
Fingerprint: 0xf7496da2
+24 to Life
Lightning Resist +19%
10% Faster Hit Recovery
+1 to Tornado (Druid Only)
+3 to Hunger (Druid Only)
+2 to Shape-Shifting Skills (Druid Only)
Repairs 1 durability in 20 seconds
so finally questions
do i go 1handed + shield or not. I have aldurs rhythm(my best 1h w) and gerke's sanctuary on switch but its much slower than hwanins with less damage (i have a shael though if i need it)? If going 1h do i need to pump dex becus i've avoided doing so thus far?
What do i max first - i figure no more in ww and pump lyc
then max fury, then grizzly? or do i put more in osage first (it seems to die a lot)
Mercs - have cold bow dude - with riphook, eth boneflesh and rare circlet. (does + 2 to magic and passive skills help the merc?)
Do i go with a might merc or stick with archer. I have no other good gear for her.
Any other suggestions? and sorry for long thread. Im still chewing it up in nightmare but am scared of hell (resists! and pi's!)
quickly on runes! with all the debate recently- i have wierd finds
i have found 1 um, a couple of hel's and lums' (ya for 2nd lionheart) and a **** load of fal's - like 8 or so. pul, lem ko io wont bloody drop but i've got fal's coming out my [email protected]%[email protected]! (oh yeah just remembered i could upgrade in 1.10 hehe)
