pindle pally?

Is pindle still worth running these days? If so I thought of an interesting build dedicated to running pindle. One can very easily obtain 8000+ holy bolt dmg and 75% cast rate with no charms and okay gear. A build with max holy bolt and synergies and a point or two into sanctuary (boosted by skills for knockback) would probably rock pindle runs.

So the question is, is pindle worth running anymore?

Sure why not? I only have about 250 mf on my sorc and she finds decent stuff at pindle. I find alot of +3 skills ammys and rare rings and rare amulets (none of it is crap). If you have high mf like my friend you might find really nice stuff.
Some of his Treasure: 2os COA, Skullders, Shako 142 defense, Oculus, 30% Nagelring, and more! So to me thats not half bad sure why not go for it.

My 2cp for Pindle runs ...
Pindle in 1.10 it TC84 and as a such cannt drop many "cheesy" items (like arachnids for example). Also drop rate on pindle somethat poor compare to 1.09... My sorc running at ~450MF on a switch in about 100 runs I got ..... NADA (killing pindle with meteororb dont take any time at all). So I'd not do pindle for MF
On side note: redemption aura have interesting effect on those undead hordes .... its kill em w/o allow em rise from graves. So running paladin with Redemption on will clean area around temple in blink of eye

That's too bad they nerfed his drops. A bolt pindle runner would probably be really fun. You could drop FOHs also for oodles of bolts (almost like lightning fury for the undead). Perhaps I should still make one...

go for it, you can always build a good merc and load him with MF and heal him constantly and maybe MF elsewhere if he can handle it

Wrong, pindle is TC87. He can still drop Windforce, Grandfather, etc. There are exactly three items that Pindleskin cannot drop. Azurewrath. Arachnid's Mesh. Tyrael's Might. Magic find in 1.10 is goverend not only by TC, but mlvl/alvl as well. Pindleskin is in an area that has an alvl of 83. He is a unique monster, and therefore he drops up to alvl+3, meaning he can drop any item with a qlvl of 86 or lower. There are only three items that have a qlvl of higher than 86. I bet you can't guess what they are.

Excatly my point only diablo and baal is mlvl95 in 1.10 and as a such can drop everything. Mephisto have lower lvl mlvl87 if I am not mistaken but can drop I believe almost everything..
So why bother with Pindle (mlvl86) then you can do pit runs (where everything die in blink of eye due to low hp) and have a) area lvl 85 b) all champs/bosses lvl 87-** and as a such much better sourse of items then Pindle

You are the most confusing poster ever. Diablo is mlvl94 and Baal is mlvl99. You are correct that Mephisto is mlvl87 but he only drops through TC78, and so he can not drop 'almost everything'... like for example he cannot drop anything above TC78 :uhhuh:.

Meph can drop arachnids as I heared (perhaps I am wrong here)

 

[sk8brdnick]

You guys are confusing me. Pindle can drop most anything or only mid lvl gear?

Why would I want a pindle runner instead of doing pits? That's simple, something different to keep mf interesting. I have a barb and a nec that run the pits already. You can run pindle very fast because he's so easy to access and I thought it would be fun to use skills like holy bolt that I haven't used much before. I've been playing diabloii since the early days of classic so it's nice to try out different things!

Since you mentioned Annihilus I thought I'd fill in with the Hellfire Torch.
