I'll edit the original post. Reroll weapon?
Nope its good, but I do need another staff rolled though(orb is class specific, doesn't count against the 2 weapons)
Thanks
Oh, sorry, forgot that there's supposed to be two weapons. Here you go:
(2) Long Staff
You still have that weapon reroll if you want it.
Thanks, that was just what I was looking for! It's a bit old, and has some uncertainties in it, but it gives me plenty to think about and try.
@Vang: Doh! Sorry, didn't even see that you were waiting for someone to roll you up. my bad
I was in no rush@Vang: Doh! Sorry, didn't even see that you were waiting for someone to roll you up. my bad
Nope, that is all good, works out well when you have low level staves.
I finally got around to playing my barbarian again.

The major news is that he has the cube! I cubed up all the rejuv potions I had been saving, so I have quite a few full rejuvs now. I don't think I will cube gems until I need them so as to have maximum flexibility with recipes and so forth. I have also been collecting jewelry -- I have saved every piece I have found since I began playing -- but I think I will wait to cube it up until somewhere in the mid-30s. I was looking at the affix calculator and it looks like I will have better chances of finding something useful if I wait until then.
The maggot lair is next...
Quick update:
I found a 3os Long Sword, and I am not sure what to put in it. I have no jewels at the moment (are those only in the expansion?), and enough gems to make the following:
1 Standard Topaz
2 Standard Skulls
1 Standard Sapphire
1 Standard Ruby
1 Flawless Emerald
1 Standard Diamond
1 Standard Amethyst
Do you think I could stick a few of those in it (say, the topaz/sapphire/ruby) and call it good? Or should I hold off until I increase my gem collection and find a socketed war sword?
if i were you i'd hold off... but if you need some killing speed to help your game, then stick ruby/saph in it
i'd save the topaz for MF and the skulls won't do much good with low physical damage
(actually i'd try to shop a good magical sword or find a good rare one)
another over-elaborated update coming up...the journey through Act 5 wasn't bad, changed war scythes about four times (savage of slaying --> static of alacrity --> fiery of alacrity --> savage of slaying (better than prev.)) until i finally settled on a 'massive of alacrity' one... my merc now wears a chippy rerolled 'brutal partizan of the icicle' with one open socket... haven't found an amn to stick in it yetCode:Forum Name Class Level Act Points ----------------------------------------- Charlo Assassin 58 A3 NM 142 Anraxas Assassin 57 A3 NM 137 Grisu Amazon 49 A1 NM 96 lAmebAdger Druid 49 A1 NM 93 buraz Barb 48 A1 NM 92 Es Mors Druid 35 A5 71 Virtue Sorceress 30 A4 64 Vildecor Amazon 31 A4 63 Vang Barb 28 A3 41 Baajir Paladin 26 A2 36 Oneofakind Necro 27 A2 30 Silox Pally 23 A2 25 jdkerr Barb 22 A2 25 Silox Pally 19 A1 16 ShadedOne Barb 15 A1 11 Tanksaabas Druid 15 A1 9 xxnothing Amazon 11 A1 6 Jason Maher Assassin 03 A1 4 pwangsta Druid 07 A1 4 Jcakes Barb 01 A1 1 RIP ----------------------------------------- Nagisa Pally 51 A1 NM 110 Docturnal Barb 48 A1 NM 100 pwangsta Assassin 35 A5 79 Vang Amazon 38 A5 77 Virtue Druid 32 A4 70 jamesixgun Assassin 32 A4 68 Vang Paladin 31 A4 62 Haerviu Necro LoM 30 A4 50 Vang Paladin 26 A2 44 Vang Druid 26 A2 34 Smips Sorceress 19 A2 38 Haerviu Necro 26 A2 38 Haerviu SorcerESS 27 A2 38 Low Key Assassin 27 A2 36 Docturnal Druid 25 A2 33 Vang Assassin 25 A2 32 pwangsta Assassin 26 A2 28 Docturnal Paladin 23 A2 26 Sorcererbob Druid 20 A2 22 xxnothing Necro 20 A2 20 jamesixgun Assassin 19 A2 20 Vang Barb 18 A1 15 Es Mors Paladin 16 A1 14 Virtue Druid 17 A1 14 Docturnal Necro 18 A1 14 jamesixgun Assassin 17 A1 14 jamesixgun Assassin 15 A1 13 jamesixgun Assassin 15 A1 11 jdkerr Sorceress 11 A1 7 Es Mors Sorceress 10 A1 4
still wearing that MF equipment, so wolfy can't feral rage non-stop (/feed) without mana problems just yet, saving it for the harder guys and mob surrounds
it's basically charging up the red spinning orb before going into normal attack-mode to conserve mana
found useless greens and yellows by the busloads with a few useless golden ones inbetween... i kept angelic halo rings for hope of completing the AR twosome sometime in the future, also kept sander's taboo as my druid can actually wear that
we had no trouble basically as long as we packed everything into formation, when the imps flame-throwed wolfy's low fire res-ed belly he did some 'feeding' to get back in shape
even though fire was my weakness, somehow nihlathak's arctic blast hurt much more than his CE, but wolfy chewed him up in the end
the ancients were kind enough to return to their fleshy selves for the brief picnic the pack was seeking after the long climb
...i noticed buff guys with swords seem to have troubledecapitating anything below their waist
before entering the throne room HalfStarved decided the upcoming meal could be a bit hard to come by, so he finally got his one point into the 'Hunger' skill to make sure he doesn't bite off more than he can chew
sure enough now he could use non-stop feral rage with MF-equipment on... after charging up the red spinning ball all it took was two quick bites with 'Hunger' to fill both bulbs (mana and health) from one-third to full
now he could come out from behind his two meat shields to tank blue guys with wings and red guys without wings
imagine that!
he's still n00b and so, when it came to the real deal, the spirit shows him HOW to tank
there's two things i'll never attempt again with another HC character after this first one.
one of them is taking on lister's pack full force on players 8
as you can see, the druid was over-confident about finishing this meal and abandoned the well-though out plan of luring lister's minions away one by one
the other one is saying "how bad can baal be after i beat lister" and taking the puke-happy demon on at players 8 too!
he takes too damn long to bring down... hunger isn't gonna save your mana supply if you can't avoid his mana rift
and you need a lot of mana fast and regularly to keep the feeding orb spinning/ recast your minions that he swipes off in two to three areal attacks
too bad formation doesn't work its magic against teleporting, cloning, walking, talking (, vomitting) ... food
after a long and hard meal the members of the pack explicitly had to look away from the vomit to avoid upsetting their stomachs i like a bit of cold damage on all my chars for the minimal chance it provides to shatter the damn thing before it starts puking
the drop was crap and isn't worth mentioning (except for a 108 ed 8 ll rare large axe which is a candidate for upping and twinking other druids)
after the expensive meal (baal had to be served with a side dish of five full rejuvs!), wolfy decided to get some fast beef burgers before moving on to nightmare. to make sure they don't join in the fight while he's hunger/feral raging (bye bye normal attack, might need ya again for the undead part of d2), he sent his two less hungry subordinates chasing for something by the name of "wild goose" or something...
cowing also provided me with my best rune up until this point
anyways,for my first ever destroyer!

Nice going, Lame..Good luck through NM.. I find it more and more fun.
Someone messed up table - my points and act isn't right.. meh, who cares
My update:
Axis bashed through Maggot lair without trouble. Managed to pump dexterity with charms he find earlier, so I upped his Military pick into Crowbill: now killing is much, much faster (155% ED). This kind of situations presented no trouble for him. He also easily killed every enemy when merc stucked behind corner (and he did that often
)
Managed to find Tancerd Crowbill, which is actually Military pick
Also found my first exceptional unique. Yep, can't use it.
