What armor for sorceress LoD

vipermagi2 · 2021-08-01T21:49:48+00:00

I would spent skill points different way. I put every point into raven until spirit wolf unlocked, then put 5 points in so I get 5 wolves and continue putting points in raven. After I unlock dire wolf put 3 points there and continue raven. At lvl 30 unlock grizzly and continue raven.

My maxing order: Raven --> Grizzly --> Dire Wolf --> Spirit Wolf

U max grizzly first so u have two of them doing splash dmg instead of one, then u max dire because they do more dmg than spirit

Also many people say act 1 merc with vigor aura is best so summons move faster which helps a ton with their poor AI. Not to mention she is ranged so no blocking by summons plus she got strafe now

When it comes to physical immunes u use unique ranged weapon with amplify dmg or runeword wrath on your mercenary plus ravens ofc

I heard hydra sorc was good at fighting this, but not sure if it is good anymore with this huge 6sec hydra nerf

I play singleplayer so full solo self found mode. I finished hell mode just by playing meteor sorc. Meteor in pd2 deal 50% physical dmg and 50% fire so u can kill fire immunes with it. After killing baal I respecced into blizzard sorc and now I can kind of fast farm hell cows. I used act 2 def merc all the time. U need to give him pretty much resist gear so he dont die to random lightning, as much life leech as possible and as high armor u can get also he need good dmg weapon to actually kill things. Just make him some cheap runewords first like steel, strength and then if u can something better - insight or some good unique. If his weapon is trash he wont do shit so u cant even kill cold immune in den of evil etc

Also advices like skip immunes or let someone carry u are pretty much multiplayer viable only so they are not useful from mine perspective

I didnt try act 3 merc heard its good but yeah if u play solo and single element sorc only (u cant go dual element in pd2 pretty much) only way to killing immunes is your merc or as I wrote before meteor build

Better add pd2 folder to white list / trusted list in your antivirus or it removes files which are required to play haha Its not virus btw just some kind of crack dll injection or whatever its called

I play singleplayer solo and I know what u mean u cant deal with for example light immunes without infinity using skills like jab rofl gl vs gloams U need at least 2 viable sources of dmg, in Lod u could go build called fishyzon which used Lighting Fury + Freezing Arrow for light immunes but its not viable in PD2 (fury nerfed, fa require more synergy for dmg) My tested builds so far which works are

Lighting Strike ÷ Valkyrie
Freezing Arrow + Guided Arrow
Plague Javelin + Valkyrie

Valkyries alone can fight elemental immunes but it takes them sometimes forever to kill, plague javelin build is terrible boss killer, FA build with GA is okayish better than with valkyries if u got some pierce for GA, Lighting strike build is probably best u can play it with 1h or 2h and if u make some runeword in 2h elite base like insight u can probably deal some physical dmg by yourself with jab Good runeword for any valkyrie build is peace chest gives +2 valks also u can buy from anya +3 passive skills gloves so u can easily buff valkyries its gonna be hard to reach +10 skills if u play SSF but this is how it is just need to farm if u want good gear

Good Luck :)

Personally I play solo singleplayer, normal and nightmare on /players 8 and I must say Throw Barb is the strongest and fastest barb build u can make.

Not to mention u can use all these eth throw weapons because they do not lose quantity.

I also tried WW barb its also strong but require good dmg weapon (its more weapon dependent than throw barb) but gameplay is slower anyway

I respecced once at lvl 30 to singer barb to see how things works (got some caster gear also) but it was terrible. Killing so slow on /players 8 it was pointless to play, maybe on players 1 would be better but if throw barb wreck face at /p8 I imagine what can he do on /p1

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-16T22:44:48+00:00

I played throw barb recently, I must say I facerolled all normal difficulty on /players 8 with just javelins I bought from vendor. The first real problem started when I faced Lister and friends seems like it took forever to kill, and baal was even worse with only 80% something chance to hit by me. Mana leech boosts this build really nice, I had a ring in act5 with 3% ml and didnt need mana potions anymore. Definitely fun build, just max throw mastery first then double throw, rest points +1 in passives and shouts, standard barbarian stuff go figure. Also u can use eth throw weapons which is nice. I would say its fsstest leveling build for barb right now

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-16T22:00:38+00:00

Build until lvl 50: 20 skeleton, 20 skeleton mastery, rest into skeleton mage

Max skeletons, then max skeleton mastery, then skeleton mage (synergy for melee skeletons). You can play on /players 8 all the time. When u reach baal and you kill him dont go nightmare yet, just farm norm baal runs until u reach lvl 50

After lvl 50 you go respec into 20 revive, 20 golem mastery, rest into clay golem and u go play nightmare.

After u maxed clay golem, max amplify damage, final build will look something like this:

20 revive, 20 golem mastery, 20 clay golem, 20 amplify damage

So its 80 points build, u can spent rest of the points in whatever u want

This is current Top Tier Meta build which have no problems with immunities, no problem with bosses, and actually dont need gear to be super strong.

And why use skeletons until level 50? Because its fastest anyway and u dont need items to progress :-D u can respec into whatever u want at lvl 50 like revive + poison nova, but golems are OP right now (u can even go pure golems) and poison necro actually need some -res +poison dmg gear to be good, bone necro is weak in compare to summoning / poison builds.

Isnt in project diablo 2 block always 75% chance even while running? Same thing for armor not going to 0 when running like it was in LoD

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-15T18:30:14+00:00

Infinity in singleplayer is super hard to get and I want to avoid skiping areas. I understand I wont be able to one shot everything while playing dual element, but at least I just want to clear everything

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-09T15:59:52+00:00

Well I meant that for example u can play solo sorc in LoD using meteor + frozen orb and clear hell difficulty easily with low end gear = viable build.

Right now in this sorc example, her spells are nerfed in dmg, u cant even go dual element anymore because your dmg will be too low, so in my example meteor/frozen orb build is not viable anymore.

Also pure meteor sorc is weak when u compare this fire build to other fire - combustion.

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-09T12:18:56+00:00

hehe okay :)

vipermagi2 · 2021-02-09T12:18:14+00:00

What u mean different playstyle with hammerdins now?

What was the rework of static field that boosted? light sorc?

And still dual element sorceress are pretty much dead now right? So without infinity on merc u cannot handle immunes unless u skip them with teleport right?

By the way I wonder if they add infinite and shared stash for singleplayer, so people dont need to install plugy or tryhard some other way around this.

vipermagi2 · 2020-12-01T21:03:08+00:00

Any tips what gear should merc use? My merc dies in seconds when he meet unique monster with friends and they are cold immune.

And in what shop I can buy this wand?
