1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Questions about conviction in 1.07:

I want to use it + fanat by "aura flashing"

How does the -enemy def% work exactly? Is it broken like the eth rune -25%? How does THAT work, exactly? Does using the conviction aura prevent the user from being inflicted by a monster's conviction aura like in later versions?
 
Sorry phar I don't know but I just came here to say that pop music was better in the 80's. You should definitely name your aura flashing Paladin after this song :D

Btw, Javazons are great in 1.07 Travi too. Only thing is that I died now and then but it was MSLEs and I didn't cover myself against those.
 
My pally's name is PhartPiss. I couldn't think of anything else at the time. :D

I'm working on getting my javazon to 85 (for arkaine's) so it can take over for the cow running instead of my sorc (now lvl 93.5)

Pally can't trav run until 85, either, so I've probably got ~30 cow runs to go (yawn) before that's possible. Here's hoping I don't have to remake the pally to choose better skill or stat placements.
 
Well there's the wish for a completely broken pelt or barb helm but iirc it's like 1/30 chance for a magic item from a rack so it would be a complete waste of time considering I can get a billion of each from each cow run I do.

Weapons, on the other hand, might be more interesting. I think nulio recently racked a bunch of claws (forget base item) for crafting since weapons can be crafted regardless of quality (magic, set, etc.)

I think other than Arreat's Face all of the class-specific uniques are trash compared to later versions, but most are still usable in 1.07 itself if you desire to do so...
 
Woohoo, got my zon to 85 (finally) and my pally is now at lvl 80. I did the latter half of a cow run once I reached 85 and it feels faster than the sorc although I pick up way fewer items because I have less room but also because there are fewer drops (2 players in cow lvl vs 3). I also forgot to use enchant (~760 fire dmg) on the zon which would make a huge difference in dps.

I also don't know what to do with any more of my skill points. I maxed the piercing skill, crit strike, lightning fury, valk, and branched out to a single point in guided arrow. Is there a bow that's good enough to kill single cows that I would bother using it? Maybe the buriza I found the other day?
 
Are there any class only items I should look out for racks for? Any combinations of skills/sockets or anything like that?

There's the complete list of 1.07 uniques, post #1138. If I was to make a (melee) Druid in 1.07 I would look for the Jalal's, and the stats doesn't look that bad even for uses in later patches.

pharphis, maybe a crafted bow could be? You can also find Cruel of X from shops, then socket those with Shaes/whatever. I didn't bother, but I took my Zon only to lvl 91 and it was players 1.

Windforce is impossible to get tho.

But... there are some rare tales of bows being racked...
Exactly.


In other news, I tested Baranar's on my pally and the ctc meteor doesn't prevent zeal. I don't know if it does in later versions, either, but figured it was worth sharing
 
There is no way to obtain windforce though, as to my knnowledge, no one have ever found a rack which drops high TC bows, let alone a stable one. There was some speculation it can be gambled, but I haven't heard of anyone even trying for it, so I don't know that Hydra Bows can even be gambled.
 
I don't think you can gamble uniques.

I also doubt a stable hydra bow rack could be found, but I'm not sure as to why it couldn't ever be found. Then again, I'm not sure I've seen any bows in 1.07. Have people found non-rack items drop from racks in 1.07 or only in later versions?
 
Yet a couple of trusted members have reported they have had a bow dropped from a rack. D2 is known about its bugs.
