Returning for the reset
Hi!
It's almost becoming a yearly tradition for me to pick up D2 and return to the forums in time of the ladder reset. This year Blizzard is a bit "late" so I thought I'd use the gap to ask for some strategy tips.
I'm a pretty item finding oriented gamer, I love making my own wealth from scratch in this game. Basically I want to make a boss runner for uniques and sets, then a good crowd killing char for socketables, runes, charms, jewels and gems. If I can get a friend to help me I will also do hellforge rushing. Later I also want to do keys/organs/ubers.
Here are the chars and the order I will make them:
1) Blizzballer (Boss runner, rusher, keys)
My main char. I will use her to find the essential uniques and sets at NM meph and later hell meph + andy. Alternatively I go for more safty and first make a Orb/TK sorc in order to milk NM meph so that my blizzballer can get decent gear from start.
2) Conc barb (BO slave)
I will use him on my second set of CD-keys.
3) Poison nova nec (Crowd killer)
Hunting socketables, runes, charms and gems in the hell pits. Alternatively I hunt for those items with a javazon in hell cows. Or perhaps I make both chars.
4) Smiter/zeal pala (organs, ubers)
Questions:
a) Can Blizzballer handle key hunting?
b) Should I make Orb/TK before Blizzballer?
c) Poison nec or javazon or both?
So will my plan make me filthy rich or just frustrated?
