too bad we don't have a sub... thread? Who is down for some ubers tonight I probably have enough keys for 8 runs?
I should be able to run some, the frenzy barb is amazing for this.
I can't think of anything helpful with ft/iso, on the incgamer site you get your own thread so that certainly helps, but then you have to click on each thread to find out what someone wants/has.
Goons have an irc chat that people just idle in I guess, and they have a game similar to pamule where they dump crap in there, but they have more hardcore people I think (one of the guys has >100k fg...D: )
Oh, and FUCK Mephisto. I've run him at least 100 times, and I've gotten a Wizspike, an Occy maybe, and some set items. He's been the worst to me, and I built my whole character (Blizz sorc) just to kill him to.
e: Chen - I've got a 3os AP, trade for that 3os MP later tonight? You're trying to make an Exile right? I would suggest adding in you want a clean eth ST, and hopefully with +resists if you're rolling in HRs.
If those runs later on produce a necro torch I'd be happy to buy it. Not sure I have a char that would actually be helpful in running them, given my tendency for odd builds.
i'm gonna have to brag about countess dropping an ohm for me that i mentioned a couple pages back
also, i am totally up for ubers
gimme storchessssssss
so if i plan on just MFing bosses, would lightning be the way to go? it seems like we have 1 million light sorcs already though, and i'd feel so sad being one spec and going "oh. light immune. fun."
almost as sad as me static fielding countess then waiting for my merc to kill her
hes such a weiner

It's a bit slow (in that she doesn't go down in 1-2 attacks like most non-fire/cold immunes), but my merc doesn't really have much trouble taking down the Countess, even with a low-level weapon (Insight in a Bec-de-Corbin). I amuse myself by spamming Tele on her, only takes like 15 seconds.
Yeah, Blizzard increased the frequency of HR drops twice during the beta, once in 1.13a and another time in 1.13b. The version currently on the Realms is 1.13c, in fact.
yeah it really doesn't take that long for my merc to kill her, i just find it a little saddening and annoying that she is always and always will be fire and ice immune in hell.
i think he has died a total of one times in that last 50% of her health, but it was right after i was gambling/i already had to res him earlier and i had to FARM UP MONEY to resurrect him JUST to finish killing her. it wasn't cool.
As a Blizz sorc, Countess was easy enough with a properly geared Merc, Blizzard to get rid of non-CI, static everything else, and telestomp on the Countess.
A 3os 20 fcr Tiara isn't terribly useful is it? I can't think of a build that would need it, I know Bowazons like the 3os for 15 ias jewels to hit BPs, but they don't cast much.
e: Read a comment to ber it and use on a hammerdin
ee: Oh yeah, 4211 def Stone 8-) Maybe Mr. Moron won't die so much now
So am I fucking insane for thinking that the rune word Chaos x2 would make for a fun and viable claw assassin?
Maxing out Dragon Claw, Claw Mastery, and Fire Fist early on. Then later, I'll respec to shift the points into Phoenix Strike and start pumping up Tiger Strike for some absurd Dragon Claw hits if the monstar isn't physical immune.
I'm playing with three other guys, a sorc, a necro and a barb right now, so if they're phys immune we won't be *totally* fucked, and that magic damage on the claw looks fucking sexy due to the absurd attack rate Burst of Speed gives you with a fast set of claws.

Oh speaking of fun Assassin builds, if anyone is making a claw assassin I've got a Cruel Somekindofclaw with life leech and +2 to Venom; it's a little weird to see that much weapon damage on a claw.
I remember making a "wolverine" type assassin and getting "block locked" in the flayer jungle.

@Rob even if you were alone and ran into a phys-immune, what about 1-pointing Dragon Tail? Does Tiger Strike still increase the fire damage from that kick?
EDIT: Disregard, I'm in. Had to make a new account though, but all of my old chars would have been deleted by now anyway.
When your characters expire, they don't actually get deleted unless someone creates a new account with the same name. So you could have MFSORCBOT23iouoigs that will probably never get deleted.

It will boost the splash damage, basically build all your charges on the PI then kick one of his non PI buddies in the face. You should also have some kind of fallback (phoenix strike, elemental mods on gear etc) for when that isn't possible.

You'd probably be better off slotting a Chaos and something else that enhances your ass-kicking versatility. I humbly suggest Fury: ITD and -25% target def, life leech, 40% IAS, Prevent Monster Heal, Open Wounds and Deadly Strike and a 20% AR bonus. A veritable cornucopia of roflstomp.
I think Fury is slightly better on paper that in practice, but there's not exactly an abundance of good claw options, and it's hardly a bad choice. I'm just not sure I'd every make it unless I had a lot of wealth. There are so many better things to make first in that cost bracket.
Of course, if you really like dual claw assassins, I suppose there aren't that many better things.

I think this is what I shall aim for... who is the best person to farm runes off? Still the Countess? Or is it just Baal Hell and crossing your fingers?

I decided it'd be fun to pick this back up, but for the life of me I can't find the expansion disc. Any thoughts where I could pick one up for cheap? i don't want to go used unless I know for sure someone else isn't using it, and the blizzard store wants $20, which seems crazy.

HR drops have been increased. again.
people are getting Bers left right and center.
I haven't seen anything drop anywhere. Not even Ists. Or maybe I'm just unlucky.
the 1.13b is the current patch.

Honestly I don't see the attraction of Fort besides the bigger enhanced defense boost.
i hope that doesn't stand for magic finding sorc bot
MUTHA FUCKIN SORC BOT 23, BITCHES
