what the hell for? zons are "her" by the by.

edit: if this is just to kill light immunes there are ways to go about it that dont involve the bow tree.

Re: Problem with skills!!!

i just wanna do baal runs alone.
maybe i kill light imunes faster?
with quided arrow?

Re: Problem with skills!!!

imo, it's not worth the effort. just use jab with demon limb enchant or demon's arch+tiamats.

Another option is a wand (or better a dagger) with Lower Resistance charges. They can be shopped easily and will break all regular LIs except for those skeleton mages that spawn in WSK3. If you get some source of -%enemy lightning resistance (Thunderstroke, faceted shield, Griffon's), it's faster than Jab, and the recharge costs are very decent The much more expensive alternative is the 'Infinity' runeword equipped on your merc.

You'd still need to jab the occasional unbreakables (bosses, possessed), but the CB from Gores can handle it just fine. The most time-consuming enemy is LIster - I actually carry Atma's Scarab in backpack, because he takes far too long at /p8 otherwise.

If you go the pure-jab route, you might even make some use of that 'Fortitude'. Otherwise, ditch it for something useful :wink3:

EDIT: Btw, does GA has autohit? Otherwise, I don't think it could beat MA, esp. with the bulk of %ED from your armor. Note that both these skills are inefficient against Souls, because of their 90%DR. Well, you can try WWS if you feel like it - it has free MA, CtC amp, and your resists won't be such a crap without a shield.

Re: Problem with skills!!!

@bassen: staff is not very useful for the purpose, because you loose a big chunk of resists when not using a shield. Since the curse is used against Burning Souls and the like, it's not a good idea to mess around with mediocre values :wink3:

It should be very fast (read 15 min tops) to shop a wand from Drognan, not sure about the daggers. Slvl2 charges are available very early, while slvl3 require a clvl92 character or such.

I'm using a rare blade Baal dropped - the only "low-level" source of slvl3 charges :smiley:

I was thinkin, use the charges and switch over to the other killing weapon.

Re: Problem with skills!!!

1) you dont want to lose your res while lowering them
2) it's a low level of lower res, there are lvl 3 available with upwards of 80 charges.

i've never tried this option myself, but i have heard good things and being HC you'll probably want to stay out of melee range so that's probably your best bet. i always forget about it myself.
