1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Oh, and I don't understand how characters without crowd control level up, either. That's why I abandoned my 'zerker:P

Zerker? Crowd control? War Cry, Leap Attack FTW!

[AlienBoyz]

Still only killing 1 mob at a time!

[ItAllGoesWhite]

Heh, yeah.

'Zerker: Wack wack, one cow dead.
Sorceress: Cast cast, 15 cows dead.

Edit:

Amazon: Toss toss, 100 cows dead

Actually I am convinced the Cow levels on 1.07 are smaller than on later versions. I find it very difficult to herd cows like I used to in 1.09 as I hit the map boundaries too soon. So tend to kill groups as I find them rather than mega herds. So Amazon isn't much of an advantage over sorc IMHO.

Of course it might just be my fading memory or fading skills.....

I don't know if I should share my times, because I'm not sure how long a run is supposed to take...forgive me if I'm slow:shocked:

With that said, I definitely could clear out cows faster with my amazon than my sorceress, though, I was surprised at how well the latter did.

Times:
Amazon: ~6 minutes
Sorceress: ~8 minutes

Those times include getting wirts leg, too.

Regardless, the 'zon is a clear winner in speed. I prefered my sorceress though because she had more uses outside of the cow level.

I'm guessing you mean +1 to a certain sorceress skill tab. +1 to all skills doesn't exist on any magical charm. Too bad:laugh:

AB: Cows ftw! That's how I got my sorceresses up to 81. Cows, cows, cows. It's infinitely better than anywhere else in 1.07. Oh, and I don't understand how characters without crowd control level up, either. That's why I abandoned my 'zerker:P

Sadly this is the case. Its fire skills. Argh. I hate not having D2 loaded on this computer. Or my stashes. I usually check before making outrageous claims.

[ItAllGoesWhite]

No worries, I'm sure most of us knew what you meant :laugh:

Still, you're lucky...I've only found three or four crappy skillers :sad2:


+1 to all Passive and Magic skills for the...lose. Heh.

I actually quite like P&M skillers. Even if just to prebuff valk! Think about what they give you - more AR, pierce, chance to D/A/E, critical strike and an improved valk and decoy.

No, what you want are +1 to curses for the lose.

[AlienBoyz]

Yep I was pretty sure it was a +1 to a skill tree charm but was hoping I was wrong and 1.07 was different in this respect!

Anyone want to comment on my feeling that 1.07 Cow level is smaller than 1.09 Cow levels?

I leveled my static/orb sorc to 66 there, and it didn't seem any smaller than usual.
That is, with restecp to 1.11 cow levels. I can't say anything about 1.09.
