Stats

[freeflow]

I just wanted to ask before I kept going. I am doing hardcore, so any item is just me picking them up.

So far I have put around 5-10 poitns in strength, has 35 dex (was told not to put more) and the rest have been put in vitality and some energy but not going past 75.

Where should I put my points?

Also, does anyone know the hardcore channel for us east?

Fishy necro, so 20 max, 20 other skelton skill lol, 20 CE and dunno about rest

none should be put into energy. It's not that important, but if you want to be perfect then remake. If you want to be perfect, then 7 points in strength. But nowadays the ladder resets happen so frequently so it might not be worth it to spend too much time on your character. If you just want to play normally then add more points into strength.

So just strength and vitality? Im not worried about the most perfect build. But I do want to complete the game in hell, and be able to kill baal in hell.

I'm level 18. What do you think?

Depends if you want max block. Personally I wouldn't bother. Just enough strength and dex to wear all the gear you need (maximum strength requirement is marrowwalks which require 118 strength, unless you want a spirit to help your battle orders which requiures 156 strength). I don't know highest dex requirement, but dump a few points there. The summonancer stat allocation is very forgiving. Summonancers are quite overpowered so you'll be able to solo hell naked (I think) and with way too many points in strength dex (except against gloams, which can get nasty))

look at my picture blog, I completed the game at lvl 84
at level 90 now I have 200 in vita 75 str base energy, 170+ in dex and 40 pts spare
that's only like 680 life without BO, but it's safe enough because of my playing style, which is fairly conservative

I'm level 35 now in HC and I'm going the 150+ DEX route to try and max block. Enough STR to wear gear and then everything else into VIT.

All,

I have a stats question also, so I figured I'd post here.

I've been playing Diablo 2 since it was released, but I stopped some time ago. The recent D3 announcement started me playing again, tho I havent played since 1.10. I didnt even know about 1.11 or 1.12 until just this week. So, I FINALLY beat Diablo on Hell mode for the first time ever since starting with Diablo 2 all these years ago. :) Hey, I'm an altaholic, so I never got around to finishing until ... well, about an hour ago. :)

Anyway, My Necromancer dinged 82 just as I killed Hell Baal.

My Stats question is this .... by some miracle, has there been any new quests or anything added to let you respec or swap stats? While I beat the game, I did feel the pain of not having max block. My dex was base, so I had a 9% chance or something. :) I kinda wish I could re-tool with max-block for safer MF runs.

Well, I'm pretty sure there isnt a way and that I'd have to make a new one from the ground up to get different stats. Too bad.

What areas are worth running for MF for a level 82 necro with only 9% block? :)

Thanks,

Lewis

If you're using a summancer then lack of max block wdn't kill u or hurt you. If not, sorry the only way is to redo the char.

Oh well, I kinda wanted to play through again anyway. :)

Thanks for the reply!
