My First Matriarch

[Skinhead On The MBTA]

Well, this is the third charcter that I've finished the game with, but since the other two were a Tesladin and a Fishymancer, this is my first Mat :wink3: She's a pure blizzard sorceress, and she spent some time off questing running the Ancient Tunnels and Mephisto for a little while. So may I humbly introduce to the SPF, Matriarch StolenPrayer!

StolenPrayer Lvl 85 Blizzard Sorceress (name is from an Alice Cooper song)

Stats (with Gear):
Strength 64
Dexterity 160 (enough for ~60% block, which I found to be plenty)
Vitality 229
Energy 35 (nothing added here)

Life: 894
Mana: 552

Damage:
Blizzard: 3300-3506 (Average 3403)
Ice Blast: 1546-1609 (Average 1577.5 Freeze Length 24 seconds)
Glacial Spike: 860-917 (Average 888.5, Freeze Length 8 seconds)
Non Cold Immune cold resistance reduced by 125%

Resistances: All 75 :grin:

Skills with Gear:
Cold:
Ice Bolt - 21 (maxed after Cold Mastery)
Ice Blast - 26
Glacial Spike - 26
Blizzard - 26
Cold Mastery - 22 (maxed next)

Lightning - Static Field, Teleport, Telekinesis - all 4

Fire - Warmth - 4 (one wasted point thanks to Insight)

Gear:
Harlequin Crest Shako - found on a Mephisto Run
Glacial Amulet - +3 to Cold Skills
Wizardspike - one of four found running Mephisto
Skin of the Vipermagi - 35% resist all :azn:
Moser's Blessed Circle - socketed with two perfect diamonds
Chance Guards
Nagelring x2
Goldwrap - all of these were left on after running Mephisto, couldn't be bothered taking them off. I have a Snowclash that will be put on in a few levels once she has the strength to use it.
Rare Light Plated Boots - not sure why she's wearing these, they're crap :rolleyes:
On Switch: Gull and Milabrega's Orb - for the MF

EDIT: Best finds - Gul from the Hellforge, Harlequin Crest, Wizardspike, and Tenplar's Might on her 9th Pindle run.

Mercenary: Razan the Defiance Town Guard

Damage: 780-2572
Resists: all 75

Gear:
Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest
Insight in and Ethereal Cryptic Axe
Duriel's Shell

Overall she was great fun to play and would come with a very high recommendation. She's going to go back to visit her old friend Mephisto soon, as well as a new friend called Pindleskin.

Next up: JesusofSuburbia the Beserker, and Baba_ORiley the Fishyzon. I might eventually get round to finishing the Witchyzon, Hammerdin and Furysin I have as well…

Congrats in the mat!

Seriously, I can't do single element sorcs, I just can't leave monsters parked or alive

[Sinningthings]

Grats on the single eley mat...sorc
I'm with A.M. I can't just leave them there...alive.
Which Cooper tune is that from? I'm an old Cooper fan (Welcome to my nightmare, Go to hell, and the stuff back when Alice Cooper was the band and not the person) and I can't think of where that's from.

[noobintraining]

Agreed, A.M and Sinning...they must die. ALL of them.

Congratulations to you, Skinhead! I'm not a fan of sorceress builds, but I know single element ones can't be easy.

With so many Goldwraps, maybe you'd consider upgrading one, if you haven't already. They're great for MF even in Hell, and the extra row of potions is nice.

[stephan]

Congratulations. You have made some nice finds already I can see.

*looks with envy at the perfect Skin*

Gratz!

Congrats on your first Mat

Were there any really big difficulties along the way? How have managed to kill Korlic?

[Skinhead On The MBTA]

I did kill the cold immunes - or rather Razan did. Same goes for Korlic - Static Field bought him down to quite low health and Telekinesis held him in place while Razan killed him.

Stolen Prayer is the title of a song on "The Last Temptation" - I think it's quite a new one.

Congratz! Nice finds, especially Gull:rolleyes:
