My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

So yeah, just popped my Frenzy Barbarian, "AbsoluteRage", to Patriarch
He was originally named "QWERTY_MASTER" but I decided to remake him under the current name.

I should probably mention he is softcore and that I did use merc until mid nightmare, then I grew tired on rezzing him.

Skills

Spoiler

Maxed double swing, Battle orders, frenzy, sword mastery and 1p on the usuals. (other combat skills and the general masteries, 1p itemfind and everything upto battle command.)

I'll spare you guys from the uninteresting details of his journey, it being a general leveling festival along with questing + getting waypoints.

He wasn't fully untwinked, because I had found 1 LO(!) and 1 Mal on my paladin. Also a 13ed 5 socket phase blade, blessed from the pits resulted in a grief (readouts on the gear section)


Also, along the way I found a lem from his NM Hellforge along with another lem from nm council. They became treachery and lawbringer. (again, readouts l8r.)

With a Lawbringer + Treacher + Grief + Traded low arreat / string of ears + found venom grips, tearhaunches + traded ravenfrost resulted to him being just about immortal @ hell, even @ players 5-8.

However, the only place I had trouble with was frozen river ._. god I hate that place.

I will probably start running Hell mephi + council with him until I get gear for a blizz sorceress or something like that.

I will save his hell hellforge for the time being.

Also, I did find a reaper's toll from Hell mephi.

Final thoughs.

Well he is a frenzy after all. Decent damage and damn unkillable. TANK LFG! I have traded for some gore riders and if I manage to find draculs in some time, he will be pretty crazy.


I think I'll do a burritowolf next.

Re: My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

Grats on your Pat!

I'm a bit surprised your Merc was so fragile. What did you pick and what did you equipe him with?

You mentioned getting gear for a Blizz Sorc, might I suggest that you take a look at Socialism's HC Frozen Orb/Fire Ball Sorc guide? I'm following it atm, and it's a great guide for am untwinked Sorc, written as a starter Sorc for the ladder. You could always lend her one of AbsoluteRage's Spirit Swords to help her along!

I've just started following the guide and highly recommend it.

Once again - Very Well Done!

 

[nurman]

Re: My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

Oh I certainly do have spirit swords to spare. (3x 2handers and 2x 1handers.)

I'm speaking about stuff like vipermagi, spirit monarch, maybe arach, magefists, some boots ect, ect.

My merc had stealth + something + insight in eth partizan. I just didn't bother with him anymore.

When I gear up my sorc, I will give him a smoke + Insight in noneth thresher + some helm that would give him leech.

I will start with the blizzard because it's better for un-semi twinked, but when I get some solid gear, I will start following the Forber.
Also I will probably just farm mephi / AT with her anyways.


If I find some good 4 socket + amaskills GMB, I'll make a harmony strafer (That vigor is soooo shexy)
It should go well with my fresh reaper's.



Has anyone ever tried obedience on a fireclawer?

 

[VoX Dei]

Re: My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

Grats on the Pat :thumbup:

One suggestion: You should do some shopping for a pair of echoing weapons.

Has anyone ever tried obedience on a fireclawer?

I haven't. Obedience is too slow.

 

[nurman]

Re: My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

Yeah, I was thinking about it, but I kinda like the quick shouting speed. Also it's not that big of an improvement.



It's slow, yes, but if we want fast we just use 6shaeled PB

 

[Dark Matter]

Re: My first Patriarch since joining the SPF.

Well, when I restarted a few weeks ago with no gear, I started with a Necro and ran Nm Mephy to get some decent gear, but Vipermagi never dropped so I felt I couldn't really start a Sorc. Then I read Socialism's guide and thought I'd give it a try.

I was pleasantly surprised by how fast she is to level. I started off whacking stuff untill I gained a few levels then, when Fireball kicked in she started to get faster. I did have a full set of Cathan's which really helped, and later shopped a 2os staff from Akara with +3 Fireball/+2 Lightning (took a few tries using the WP trick) and made her a leaf with Tir/Ral

That, combined with Stealth Armour took her though until she could equip a spirit sword and Visceratuant, but Rhyme would do as an alternative if you haven't found that Src shield yet!

BTW, if your Melee Merc isn't doing so well, and you can live without Insight for your Frenzy Barb, why not try one of the Ranged Merc, perhaps a lightning one from Act 3?
