Not ready for Hell?
I don't think I am, cause' I die pretty quickly, and I don't do very much damage on Hell baal runs..
I'm level 83, Meteorb, done with the fire tree, and working on frozen orb and cold mastery.
My gear is Tal's Mask, Occy, Spirit Monarch, Frostburns/Magefists, Heavenly Garb, some rare belt, no rings worth mentioning, my ammy gives +2 Fire skills, and Silkweave boots. I have +6 skills all together and mana isn't a problem at all, even though I put zero points in energy like most people.
I realize my gear sucks pretty bad, some of it anyway.
274 vita with no gear on, 979 life and 316 vita with gear on.
Edit: I'm hearing I shouldn't put ANY in Cold Mastery (haven't yet), and should instead invest it into Fire Bolt. Sounds like a good idea to me, but, can anyone else offer their wisdom on this?
