Never able to access hell
I've played this game off and on for a couple months at a time over the last 2 years for about 6months total play time, I've gained quite a bit of general knowledge about the game as a whole, but I can just never kill in hell, and it's very frustrating. This is mainly due to a lack of gear. The best I got is full sigons and angelics set, I wear full angelics and 3 piece sigon on all my main characters with a mix of decent MF stuff in attempt to build wealth.
First character was a meterob sorc(20FB 20Met 20FB 5+ still adding points to CldMstry), she can't deal with cold+fire immunes, and barely cold immunes, as meteor is hard to aim, fireball is to weak for how much mana it costs and should be stronger to combine with its fast attack.
I then made a pheonix strike assassin, this class is the only one I actually enjoy playing, it seems to have the most potential with access to an attack of every element, but still with my 20fof 20cot 15+ still adding BOI and 20 PS I get shut down in hell very quick due to my lack of gear, I can not survive toe to toe with even fallen for very long at all.
I then made a hammerdin, he was a bit different, though his hammers are powerhouse attacks and really take out enemies hard, I get taken out even faster once again due to lack of gear.
So, this leaves me here: Should I keep MFing in nightmare? Are there pieces worth finding in nightmare that are practical to find and not extremely low drop rates? Where can I get some resists gear? How can I find out how valuable the subpar uniques I find are?
How far away in terms of gear are these characters to being successful in hell (even act 1 so I can farm crypts) What are some cheap items for any of these characters to get me going?
I tryed to wrap it all up as best I could, please help any replies are greatly appreciated.
