What to do? (fishy question)

[Everglows]

Well my resists are going up bit by bit. Once I get all my gear together I might relevel a new necro with pre-calculated stats (first toon is hard to put together, I raised str a lot to wear skullder's).

I have a bugged eth 4 os armor which I will "Fortitude", I just need the Lo now! And the deal went through for the anni!

So I don't think I'll gain anymore stats from now on so it might be time to start rebuilding!

Because with the ntorch and anni I might be very close to wearing enigma therefore only needing a few points. I believe my hit points will be much better!

Also once I hit 72-75 it does not really matter all that much after... but ~250 hp does!

Once that character hits that I will have him run stuff to get the currencies for the infinity!

Question for all my helpful friends!

I need a Lo, my main player is my Mal. Do I convert it to Um's? It's worth 2 right?

Then I get a third and hope to find someone who buys or should I keep as a Mal and find an Um?

I don't know the best approach to get bigger items..

EDIT:

I decided I would do 1 run before bed (hadn't done anything today) and well, luck smiled down on me!

Arachnid Mesh!

Mal is a long way away from a Lo rune. Here is part of the rune cubing recipie list from the Arreat Summit. Please not: These only work in Ladder or Single Player.


2 Pul Runes + 1 Flawed Diamond = Um Rune
2 Um Runes + 1 Topaz = Mal Rune
2 Mal Runes + 1 Amethyst = Ist Rune
2 Ist Runes + 1 Sapphire = Gul Rune
2 Gul Runes + 1 Ruby = Vex Rune
2 Vex Runes + 1 Emerald = Ohm Rune
2 Ohm Runes + 1 Diamond = Lo Rune
2 Lo Runes + 1 Flawless Topaz = Sur Rune

Arachnid Mesh!

Well, there's your Lo. Maybe a Ber too. Put that together with your Mal and an Um, you've pretty much got Beast. Great find.

 

[Everglows]

Well I'm not playing single player, I can trade at market value.. If it was that way a ohm would be worth 32 um's..

I think Lo is like 3*um and mal 2*um or um+pul no?

You think I should trade the arach?

 

[Painman]

I think the benefits of Mesh are more immediately apparent on a char that uses direct sorts of killing spells (Sorcs, Poison/Bone necros). For a Summoner, your minions will gain a bit more life and damage - but a Fanaticism aura will give them significantly more damage and AR with a faster attack rate. I think Beast wins in this particular situation.

 

[Everglows]

Do you think beast is better than infinity? They seem about the same price..

So arach 96 ed = 2 HR's or so or more/less? Then I'd already have my mal, I'd just need the ist and the polearm.. Still a way to go

 

[Painman]

This is where you may need to choose a path for your build, if you haven't already - mages, or no mages. Beast will make your melee skellies really nasty. Infinity will make your mages really nasty, though I'd max them if using Infinity to get their full potential. Infinity will also make your CE more lethal due to lessened fire res on many monsters (though many FI's are unbreakable and will remain FI). Infinity will drop monster defense as well, though Beast's Fanaticism has a similar effect due to a large AR bonus that it confers.

So... if going the Mage route - I'd say Infinity is overall more beneficial. If not, then Beast. Eventually you can acquire them both, of course.

 

[Everglows]

Which would you consider more beneficial for an all-around build? I'm thinking about ubers and diablo clones (which I've never faced), I don't see how pits could get faster, or baal and mephisto since it's 1 corpse = all corpses!!!

I have enough points to max mages also... so it's pretty much all up to how easily each can kill ubers and dclone..

And would you recommend fort armor also?

edit: Well, I considered all things and decided to keep the arach belt. It's mostly because I like using gear I found and I'm 100% sure it is legit. I know I would buy this belt someday and considering in the 3 weeks I've been playing I've amassed a decent amount of money, I'm certain it wouldn't be the end of the world if I were to get beast/infinity in a few more weeks while I can keep my self-found arach. Although I do appreciate the advices and selling it probably makes more sense at the point where I am!

Its always interesting to see how people go thro the game and get stronger. Right now im trying to my final gear for my necro(i cant seem to find a homu and no one will trade :cry: )and still wondering what to do with my 17 extra skill points. I know all my choices but im a perfectionist and its hard to commit it a skill.:undecided:

I'm sorry, I thought you were asking about cubing Mal up to Lo for some reason.

 

[Everglows]

Hehe, that would of been a giant waste of e-wealth!!!

 

[StatusCloud]

Sorry to be kinda OT, but I must input that I still have to see so many helpful advices in one single thread other then this. Most of suggestions are working to me as well.

Best gaming board EVER! :cloud9:

 

[Everglows]

Yeah it seems that it captures from being poor and what to buy until somewhat wealthy as well as a lot of build advices!
