The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, Revenge of the 99ers

[Kitteh]

Sorry guys I have been so absent, although it pretty much runs itself Hope you're all having fun, it certainly looks like there is progress being made! I may consider rejoining at some point in the future.

Regarding bases for infinity, I for one think that @ffs is right...

In an untwinked situation where your character is undergeared, farming for infinity bases takes longer than you might think. In my case, finding a 4 sock eth CV was a lot more frustrating than grinding LK for infinity and enigma runes combined...

I would really like to be able to test some Baal runs with CV infinity vs thresher infinity just to settle this (for javazons at least), but the tournament rules prevent this (and I don't have another one anyway). Closing on 97 and still a better base hasn't dropped. If it will, I will seriously consider rolling another Infinity if I have the runse. I still don't think there will be any difference whatsoever because my javazon kills all minions and bosses herself and just skips unbreakable LI Lister.

Clearly CV is one of the worst options (has been discussed ad nauseam on this forum), but the purpose of these characters is to level as fast as possible, NOT to have perfect gear...

 

[Kitteh]

I don't think that finding an ethereal thresher for Infinity is that big of a hassle, and is worth it to not be using a CV. Ewwwww.

Hello all ^^

Ive been watching this thread for quite some time and i must say, its awesome. You guys have done some amazing stuff. It inspired to to pick D2 back up and have a go at two things i havent ever done on diablo 2; a) successfuly make guardian b) hit level 99.

Starting from scratch a few months ago, ive managed to take an untwinked bone necro to guardian, my first ever! . I've been playing him for a few weeks since,leveling to 89 and slowly improving gear. I planned on officially entering him in this thread this weekend once ive completed my Guardian thread (which ive massivley dragged ass on). So here he is in all his glory.

Guardian Gray

Thats the good news...


..This is the bad news.

So yes, thats the end of that. Re-rolled a new pits map this morning so i was checking out paths to Meph, CS, Baal ect. Took waypoint to worldstone keep, ran about 5 yards and got smashed to bits by gloams; i wasnt really paying attention and was so surprised that i didnt even pot. I unfortunatley left game at players 8 from the pits, think i got 3-4 hit. whoops .

Pretty gutted about it i must admit, though its really the method of death for the most part. I mean not even putting up a fight or trying any evasive maneuvers, just pausing and frying, not good!

Ahhh well, we must move on, which leads me to my new official enterant into this grueling task. Raum the lvl 1 HC Druid! Only ever played a wolf druid before, and that was years ago on bnet so playing this through as a windy will be something new. Back on the horse eh? ^^

It's worth noting that if you want to use Delirium it's more Confuse procs with the faster bases too. Although, if you go the Treachery route, there's no difference in effective Jab speed from GPA and Thresher/GT (for Delirium setup) so you get ~10 more average base damage with the GPA.

Wasn't trying to insult anyone, someone asked about the difference between the bases and I was just clarifying. It's more of a personal preference than anything, like I said. The Eth CV will still be perfectly fine lol. I just don't think I wouldn't find/cube a Eth 4 socket Thresher/Giant Thresher before moving on from P8 AT, and Blizzard/Insight works perfectly fine for that.

E: Kudos @Arranj on Guardian. I know the RIP hurts but good luck with that Druid, I had lot of fun with mine.

Easier said than done in a situation where you have to find it with one specific character while having tons of other stuff on your to do list. So at least three 99er runners here made Infinity in a CV, all of them fully aware of the difference faster bases make (or rather lack thereof IMO, given the purpose of this runeword). I believe @NanoMist (or someone else that finished 99, can't remember atm) even sacrificed a socket quest to make it in a CV, which is actually a huge deal when playing untwinked. That's because imo getting back to making progress is just proper prioritization over a negligible downside. Even for my untwinked chars I made it in a CV first for the lack of better base at the time (had just started using GoMule), and when I had spare runes for a second Infinity, I made it in an eth Scythe for gearing experiments instead of Thresher/GS since it still didn't seem worth it to me to improve on the Merc one.

EDIT: Just as a final note, I got curious an checked my main stash to see how many suitable eth/socketed Threshers or Giant Threshers I have collected over the last ~18 months: One eth 4os Thresher, as for 0os ones that could be rolled for sockets there are four eth Threshers and one eth Giant Thresher. That’s not a lot considering I did a lot of running in this period and with highly optimized characters, including countless cows killed in RFL. Granted however, if you really want it and look for a stable rack for these bases it’s definitely doable though. But can’t think of any more annoying and frustrating activity, took me about 4 hours to find the CV rack and even that I consider rather lucky.

@Yng don't worry noone is offended I just wanted to explain the reasoning and emphasize that the differences are really small.

@Arranj sorry about that RIP , but of course welcome here, may the drops come! You won't regret joining it's a very fun competition.

So I finally have a little time to give this an update. Kyrie is still sitting at roughly 90 3/4, although I did do a few more Meph/LK runs that produced nothing worth mentioning. Most of the little time I do have was dedicated towards continuing to prepare Sophie for the MFO, and she's made some decent progress. I made it to AT @ clvl72 and as you can imagine the runs were quite slow/cautious early on. I fell 3 more times early on in AT runs (some of the ranged lightning mobs had potential to literally one shot me and anything CE as well) but after quite a few runs my setup and the merc's had improved drastically. We're pretty safe/quick to finish runs now. I think I will run 86-90 @ P8 and then push to LK.

Easier said than done in a situation where you have to find it with one specific character while having tons of other stuff on your to do list. So at least three 99er runners here made Infinity in a CV, all of them fully aware of the difference faster bases make (or rather lack thereof IMO, given the purpose of this runeword). I believe @NanoMist (or someone else that finished 99, can't remember atm) even sacrificed a socket quest to make it in a CV, which is actually a huge deal when playing untwinked. That's because imo getting back to making progress is just proper prioritization over a negligible downside. Even for my untwinked chars I made it in a CV first for the lack of better base at the time (had just started using GoMule), and when I had spare runes for a second Infinity, I made it in an eth Scythe for gearing experiments instead of Thresher/GS since it still didn't seem worth it to me to improve on the Merc one.

EDIT: Just as a final note, I got curious an checked my main stash to see how many suitable eth/socketed Threshers or Giant Threshers I have collected over the last ~18 months: One eth 4os Thresher, as for 0os ones that could be rolled for sockets there are four eth Threshers and one eth Giant Thresher. That’s not a lot considering I did a lot of running in this period and with highly optimized characters, including countless cows killed in RFL. Granted however, if you really want it and look for a stable rack for these bases it’s definitely doable though. But can’t think of any more annoying and frustrating activity, took me about 4 hours to find the CV rack and even that I consider rather lucky.

@Yng don't worry noone is offended I just wanted to explain the reasoning and emphasize that the differences are really small.

@Arranj sorry about that RIP , but of course welcome here, may the drops come! You won't regret joining it's a very fun competition.

Yes, I was the one that socketed a plain Eth CV. After 15-20 hours of P8 Pits and a couple of failed socket recipes, I decided to just go to Larzuk instead of going for the 50% chance of a 4 socket CV with the cube. It turned out fine in the end, since I only needed 2 more socket quests for the Shako and Andariel's.

Interesting, my 2nd Infinity after the Eth CV was also in a Scythe! But it was for my nova cow runner in the RFL.

 

[Trapin']

I decided to start a casual 99 run with a bowazon! I was inspired reading this thread (still only on page 20) and another one by Zoo to find a Windforce.

I think both ventures would be a lot of fun to take a crack at. Reading this thread, I found the journey to be interesting and fun to follow along, so I hope it will be just as fun to take part in! It will be SC and no use of any kind of program, just standard LoD. So it will be tough to balance stuff in the tiny stash but I think it's part of the challenge!

It's going to be a slow and steady climb for sure. Patience is a virtue in Diablo 2

So meet WorrA

@Arranj Cool, welcome to the fun !!! But condolences on the loss . Btw, no full rejuvs ... in HC nonetheless? Call me very surprised ...

@Trapin' Welcome, this thread keeps on going, so nice !!!

Good luck to both of you (and the rest of course).

 

[Arranj]

@Arranj Cool, welcome to the fun !!! But condolences on the loss . Btw, no full rejuvs ... in HC nonetheless? Call me very surprised ...

Yes i thought someone may pick up on that ^^

I never had a single NDE with that character. With attract, clay golem, bone prison and a 900 strong bone armor i was never even threatened. Just 100% sloppy play on my part took me out. I suppose really, the fact that the character was so safe made me sloppy, like not having full rejuvs for instance

So what’s next? I think HelpYourself is making good progress, but is not quite ready yet to transition to pure XP grinding. She will continue running LK for now, looking for runes for (1) CtA, in order to improve on her +3 BO one, (2) CoH for herself and (3) either CoH or Fortitude for Merc.

Well, I did just that over the last couple of days for some ~15+ hours altogether. After way above average rune drops in the past, she cooled off considerably and started pretty much the first half of this stretch with a massive drought of nothing above Pul. While it was super frustrating I figured she lucked enough previously though, also I’m a proud and determined LK runner so I just kept going and a few good things happened afterwards, for example:

Spoiler

First time I saw anything above Vex drop from a poppable, and what a goody!

Of course eventually there were more runes that dropped but I didn't take screenshots from, including another two Ohms, Vex, Gul and a few Pul-Mal.

Which led to:

Spoiler

CoH in 13% ed Scarab Husk


Eth bugged Scarab Husk Fortitude for Merc -- after cubing two Ohms and running countess for way too long until she finally dropped an El rune. Perfect @ roll, too, though any would have been good enough of course.


However, considerably less lucky with this CtA fail

Will try again with next Ohm, just wanted to get that ebug Fortitude out of the way first.

The GC front was interesting as well. I found/cubed a lot of skillers in this stretch (I think in the 10-12 region but not sure exactly), including two Barb ones with life (War Cries and Combat), also two Sorc Fire ones, but unfortunately only one plain Lightning skiller. Better than nothing I guess. I also got a few other keepers, among them a [email protected]/19 life GC. Now I cannot see LK anymore at the moment so she will try just picking gems and rolling GCs for now in hopes of getting more skillers.

But she's got all the key pieces now so I think she ready to slowly transition to XP grinding! Now the real fun begins I guess. For now I’ll start with testing/comparing her performance in different lvl85 areas. Unfortunately there is a lot of work coming my way so she will probably see considerably less play time next week. Will try to at least push her a little bit before and during MFO!

 

[Yng]

Progressed to LK to try to finish up a few more things (namely CtA and HotO).
I finally got a Monarch to roll 4 sockets (and a second one not 10 minutes after). I've burned like 10-15 sets of Spirit runes and rolled 34 FCR 5 times..

Could roll HotO at this point but GoMule deciding to launch whenever it wants to and it hasn't been working today which has really bummed me out being a lot of my stuff is not in the character's stash but being stored through the program. Going to try downloading the older version of java to see if that works, still puzzled AF why it would work with the updated version sometimes and then sporadically stop working..

E: No luck, really considering just going back to how I was before (RWM only and just the stash for storage). As of right now I can't access my Ohm, Vex, Sur, and much more.

E2: I managed to get it working with an older version of Java as was suggested in the help thread (was not easy, had to try 3 different versions and it's still iffy). Moved my HRs into my stash where they will stay permanently lol.

Anyway, here's some finds after 1k or so runs:

Spoiler

Map:

Changed some binds around sometime before this point:

Was getting close to leveling so did a few P8 AT:

 

[ffs]

Levelled HelpYourself to 94 doing CS seal runs, which I quickly learned does require some effort to do efficiently with Lightning as opposed to Blizzard. It feels considerably less efficient actually, due to the importance of positioning for Lightning and not dealing damage while doing so. It's really packed often with other boss packs at the seals which is not necessarily bad but slows runs down, not sure whether it's good or bad in terms of XP gain. Other times mobs are quickly lined up nicely though and go down quickly, so I'm not too sure if there is a better way, but have yet to compare XP/h with Baal waves and other lvl85 areas.

Regarding gear she also spent some more time in LK to improve on that +3 BO CtA, with these results:

Spoiler

Second time +1 BO


Aaaaand second time +3

The latter being the fourth CtA she has made, I'm kinda sick of trying to get something better than +3 BO basically, if I get the runes I will try and roll it again, but she will no longer run LK for it as she has acquired everything else and at it doesn't seem worthwhile going forward. She even has 3 spare Surs at the moment, after two more dropped:

Spoiler

Not sure what I will do with them tbh. If another Sur/Ber drops and if I ever find a better Infinity base maybe I might replace the Infinity CV the Merc is currently using, which would mean instead of an IAS jewel I could socket a Ral in his And'sy without losing an IAS breakpoint (she has yet to find a IAS/FR jewel, if ever). I could also go with an eth bugged CoH for Merc, which might help his survivability in those CS runs, but I generally prefer the ebug Forti variant he is already using. We'll see. Other than that, she finally got a second skiller from rolling GCs during LK runs and found a Dwarf Star she currently uses in CS runs. Apart from extra skillers, second ring remains the one slot that I'd really like to improve with SoJ or at least BK. I actually do Andy runs from time to time for change of Pace in between CS runs, in hopes of finding one, but no luck so far. She also got a couple nice SCs.

The biggest find however was a 5/5 lightning facet - in her stash lol. She found that months ago when I thought I'd go Blizzard all the way, but by the time I switched to Lightning I actually forgot about it until yesterday. Another facet dropped (5/4 fire), dropped it in GoMule and had this "wait a minute..." moment. Anyway, of course that Um in the Griffon's got kicked out immediately:

Spoiler

I'm actually very happy with her stats and gear at this point and will no longer focus on upgrading it. So from now on 95% of her playtime will be grindig XP. GoMule dump with current gear and stats:

@Trapin' Cool! Would really like to see a bowazon make 99. I thought about making one, but I couldn't really figure out where I could run with her. Have you made any thoughts?

Btw; I think making a Faith bow will be easier than finding WF, as those are very hard to come by. Faith also does more damage (they say..) But IMO is WF more stylish Maybe WF + Faith merc could be viable. Very interested in this build, good luck, sir!

Bottom line is WF + Faith Merc is highest damage setup and allowing 7 fpa Multi while using Razortail (and LoH without losing knockback). Also Faith only comes close to this with Pride/Might Merc and plenty damage charms. But that doesn't mean Faith setups are inferior, they have a lot of advantages (though personally I prefer the WF + Faith Merc setup, it is more stylish indeed ). Overall this has always been a highly debated a very complicated issue with a lot of nuances and personal preferences.

Anyway I totally agree: Untwinked you should definitely shoot for Faith rather than counting on finding WF.

Chaos Sanctuary is good for bowazons.

Bottom line is WF + Faith Merc is highest damage setup and allowing 7 fpa Multi while using Razortail (and LoH without losing knockback). Also Faith only comes close to this with Pride/Might Merc and plenty damage charms. But that doesn't mean Faith setups are inferior, they have a lot of advantages (though personally I prefer the WF + Faith Merc setup, it is more stylish indeed ). Overall this has always been a highly debated a very complicated issue with a lot of nuances and personal preferences.

Anyway I totally agree: Untwinked you should definitely shoot for Faith rather than counting on finding WF.

Come to think of it, Faith + Reapers/Might merc could work too, as bowa will be doing +50% more damage a lot of the time. With Pride merc, he's basically just a walking aura (or two).

As for P8 CS running, I think that could be tough for a bowazon. I'm testing CS with my dual Grief (+355 and +376 dmg) WW Enigma barb, and even though It's not completely impossible, It's not by any means fast. 90 sec runs on average P8 Vizier + Infector (no stopping for boss packs) runs, but that's not with all of the end game gear, though.

What is a reasonable CS P8 Viz + Infect time?

IIRC it's more efficient to skip most everything besides Vizier/Infector at a certain clvl, so just Howling off everything else and C/Ting the first part of the route can help with run time a lot. Prior to that you can apply the same concept to packs, just Howl off everything and kill only the unique /champs.
