Thanks! Yea I had 2x Ohm was definitely thinking I was going to get a crap roll at least first one.@Yng Grats on the first try +5 BO CtA! Allow me to complain once more about four rolls netting nothing higher than +3 BO.
As to farming Infinity and switching to Lightning, the reason I did that was only because I unexpectedly found that Griffon's. The Ten Commandments of Diablo 2 provide that "Thou shalt use Griffon's Eye when finding it with an untwinked Sorc", and any violation thereof is basically punishable by death, so this essentially forced me to do the switch. I think Blizzard is the stronger build overall, not just for levelling but also the gear is so readily available, given Meph drops the entire end game gear except for Death's Fathom (which is by no means necessary, as good as it is) and maybe Nightwing's Veil (but Shako is just as good).
You can not count (pun intended) on getting runes higher than Ist from the Countess. I think the Ist drop rate is about 1:250-ish.D2 SPF,
I decided instead of starting a new character, I would try to finish a project I started years ago. Getting my patriarch (Thread) Frenzy barb to 99 totally self-found. I lost my stash and only had some crappy MF gear on him so I am rebuilding.
Questions:.
- Getting to 99 will be very slow. But it will be near impossible with my current gear. What gear/runewords/etc should I focus on to allow me to run WSK easier?
- I am assuming an Enigma will be mandatory to complete this project. I did around 100 countess runs and 100 LK chest runs to no avail. Is there any advice to farming this runeword?
- Does anyone else have any experience with an entirely self-found 99 project and would like to share advice?
Thank you SPF!
Edit: I realize my post makes it sound like I'm assuming 100 countess runs would be enough for an enigma. That wasn't my intent. Just asking for advice on best way to farm it.
Well, technically it counts as 1+ Find Item %/100 + drop increase due to horking always being at /p7 (too lazy to check number).You can not count (pun intended) on getting runes higher than Ist from the Countess. I think the Ist drop rate is about 1:250-ish.
She can drop up to Lo, but the odds of that is extremely small (my highest drop from her is Vex).
You best bet is as mentioned LK. But running around and popping those chests can be troublesome for a barb. I would run the council instead, since they can drop Jah (LK chests can only drop up to Ber) plus you get experience from councils and potentially some nice finds. Also, you can hoark council corpses with Find Item, making every single run count as two runs.
Could you do a Harmony bow and keep it on switch?I was running council last night but only on P1. Decent clear speed and no deaths. The dwarf star ring I just found helps keep hydra damage low. LK may still be faster though. I am loaded with fast run charms but it's still tedious.
Elite bows have huge dex req, do it in a normal bow. You just want it on switch for that vigor auraDid some Pit runs today and picked up some Gore Riders, great find. Still looking for an elite 4os bow for Harmony. Found out I have an awesome map for both LK and Hell Countess. I also hit 89 this morning. Slow but steady progress.
