Thresh Socket Runs
READ FIRST! : This mini MF guide mainly applies to Singleplayer because in SP you can generate great map layout and it stays the same after each restart unlike in Multiplayer. It might be good to try running Thresh in MP too, just expect much longer run times because of bad Arreat Plateau/Crystalline Passage waypoint position most of the time.
Hi everybody, I decided to do Thresh Socket Runs (mainly because I want to find Astreons and Steelrends for my Zealot + I´m happy to see any very rare item) and I thought I could inform you guys about how good/bad my results are.
Thresh Socket is a super unique boss found on Arreat Plateau in 5. Act standing in front of the entrance to Crystalline Passage. He is always Cursed and Cold Immune.
There is a list of what he CANNOT drop:
TC87 items:
Crown of Ages
Tyrael´s Might
The Cranium Basher
Mang Song's Lesson
The Grandfather
Others:
Kira´s Guardian
Gladiator´s Bane
Arachnid Mesh
Wolfhowl
Arkaine´s Valor
Alma Negra
Halaberd's Reign
Azurewrath
Rainbow Facets
Stormlash
Metalgrid
Shadow Killer
Few important advices:
1/ Do not underestimate him! While he´s not as dangerous as Pindleskin (Pindle is ALWAYS Fire Enchanted and has minions), he is always Cursed and when it is combined with Extra Strong he can one-hit-kill even a character with more than 1000life!
2/ It is not necessary to have huge MF. 200-250 MF is enough. Do not sacrifice gear which helps you survive/kill him faster for more MF.
3/ Generate a good map! Mine was done in few minutes and I have Arreat Plateau waypoint right under Thresh. My usual run time with Zealot without teleport is around 20 seconds (from the moment I appear in the game to the moment I click on Save&Exit)
4/ /players1 settings is enough. More /players will NOT make Thresh drop more items.
Which builds do well against him ?: (..under construction..)
Notes: Melee (cause Nihl is FE, has charging minions and is slower without tele) - but lots of life and some DR needed (also Slow target is great - merc with Reapers is great choice), he is never LI and PI together so builds that do both Light. and Phys. dmg, Cold dmg builds are not good cause he is Cold immune, Barbs are great cause he will almost never shatter in ice so they can use Find Item skill quite often..
