Diablo IV, Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 Forums - Diabloii.Net
Hello SPFers, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as well as ask a few questions. I used to play Diablo 2 a lot in high school about 10 years ago, mostly BNet with my buddies. I used to do the standard, get rushed through hell > baal runs > mf runs > PVP. At the time I enjoyed it but I always detested the rampant duping and botting and thought that it would be fun to actually try and get the godly gear legitly.
Anywho about 3 years ago I got the D2 itch again and decided to try single player, the idea being that I would actually play the game *gasp* as it was intended to be played. Also I am married now with a job and I simply cannot dedicate enough time to reach the end game before a ladder reset, so single player allows me to complete the game at my own leisurely pace. 3 years in and I still have not beaten hell with any of my characters, though to be fair I stop and start at irregular intervals. I love the gomule program as I was always a pack rat and not having to do tedious muling is a godsend.
I have 3 `main`chars and a handfull of ones that I play almost never, though the end goal is the beat the game with at least all classes.
My best char so far is my summon mf necro, who is currently in act 5 hell, who I use to do pit runs. I`m trying to get my CL/FO Sorc, to the point of being able to do hell meph but she is stuck in A1 hell with a CL that just doesn`t seem to be able to kill cold immunes quick enough :/.
So far I am surprised that after 3 years I don`t have any really godly gear. Best finds so far is probably a buriza, Nightwing's Veil, and Gravenspine. I can`t believe how hard it can be to get a specific item, such as a friggen tarnhelm!
Anyway, what would the wise members of this board suggest as a good place for someone in my position to farm up gear for a zon or sorc?
Also I know you guys here are very particular about which mods/programs are acceptable, so I am wondering what you guys suggest for enabling ladder-only runewords and items? I know I am a long way off from being able to craft any high end runewords but I would like to know I have the option. And after installing such a mod could I play a direct IP multiplayer game with friends who play an unmodded version? or could we play if we both had the mod?
