New Mat. Cryist

After doing what seen like endless MF runes with Meph, and Endless Countess Runs, I finially decided to take a go at baal. I went to Wsk 2 and got nailed by 6 Glooms, instant death. I Restarted Diablo and hope for a better monster selection, i get lucky no glooms present, but i did have Oblivian knights, still a pain in the back side, but manageable, i would rather have OB knights than glooms any time, So any way i made it to WSK 3 no problems lost my merc a few times to the OB knights. Funny thing was that i didn't loose him While i was battling the 5 big monster groups tha baal sent at you before you get to battle him in his chamber, i get through that just fine, and baal was rather easy in hell, easy than baal in NM. Any way this is what he droped me, Sigions Helm, Gore shovel, and my 4th Ghees 33% mf, i was disapointed in his first kill drops. All this was done on Players 1.

Her is my Meteorb Sorc Stats and gear..

Hi, :)
Congratz on your new mat!! Nice gheed...:p

Just tell me something...why let all that stat points remaining? Your life is low low...and you won't have a better use to that else than put it into vit and/or dex for blocking...

Anyway, good work :thumbsup: I got my meteorb IceBurn to mat last sunday too. More and more meteorb MFer in SPF... :buddies:

Congrats on the title!
Your merc looks very familiar. Oh right, he's using almost identical items to mine. :D What helm was he using?
I'm curious about your fire skill selections. Why so many into FB, less in FM and <20 Meteor? Did you find yourself using FB more often than Meteor?
I maxxed Meteor first, then FM and my FB is only base 10 but still deals very respectable damage with FCR.
With Meteorbs the CM makes FO a no-brainer but I found that getting my Meteor as high as possible was necessary due to innate monster resistances I couldn't counter (no Occy for me yet :grrr: ). With +skills included, what kind of damage was your Meteor dealing?

Congratulations! :clap: You can never have too many Gheed's charms... well, unless your current character is holding one of course :)

Good luck with any MFing her future holds!

Well,, I just haven't used them yet, i have enough for max block using the whistan , but no extra resistance with it, and 57% block on the ryme sheild seem to work fine. so i guess i am saving them for 1337 armor's if i ever find some, and i'll proabbly put some more into vita eventually..

Did i miss what helm my merc is using in the write up? Well its a Steelskull with 48 mf on it..

Why max FB first? When i made it to hell FO couldn't do the job enough, Meteor was to slow, and my merc was a good tank by then but not enough of a tank for me, so i needed fire power that did damage fast with high damage, so i was looking for the fastest kill method. also if you knoticed that i had a few missed placed skills, blizzard, shiver armor, enchant. if it wasn't for those missed placed skills my Meteor would be maxed and FM would be much higher. Yes i use FB a lot, throw a few meteor's then FB them to death. Also remember that FB augments Meteor(synergies thing).
FB damage 3-4k
Meteor damage 6-7+ k

But on switch to baba for mf damage is much lower
FB 2-3k
Meteor 4-5k

And as for FM i had to sacrifice some points their becuse of those missed placed skills..

Nice job. About your skills, how much did it take time to kill CI's?
static them down, a few meteor's then FB a few seconds. as for the CI/FI bosses static them down, then let My merc takes care of the rest, at 1-2k damage and from 19-24 life leach(depends on which helm i use on him) makes him a real good tank.

Interesting. My meteorb sorc mat'ed at 81 with much worse gear. Maybe because I parked most of the boss packs.
I proabbly could have done it earler also,aroung 83 or 85, but i was giving meph a beating, hoping that i would get some better gear, but the only thing that i added was the occy, the rest of my gear i wound in normal and nm..

Congratulations on your Mat. With your fire skills, mfing in the mausolium would be a breeze. Good luck on future characters.
