How good is p1 (no self mp option right now) Hell Cows for leveling, charms and getting crafting supplies?
I have a Javazon at the beginning of NM. Not much to twink it with, but so far it destroys everything with ease. Anyone else played 1.07 Javazons? I'm eager to hear any tips you might have to share!
Graz for Mat TheNix!

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Congrats on the mat! I've been pondering a bit about the baal issue, and have a few ideas but nothing tested personally. Mostly it comes down to abuse crushing blow and the terrain. The latter mostly only applies to ranged characters, whereas for melee I remember reading something about stacking FHR and life. And I guess there's always MP, of course.
As to cows, it's only partially related to your question, but when I did a few NM Cows for some levels (~15 runs, I think) I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of drops. Quite a few of the tir/ort range of lesser craft runes and charms, and more jewels than I was expecting. I don't recall exact numbers, but offhand I'd say I got about ~4 lesser craft runes, 1-2 mid-runes, 12+ charms, and 3 or so jewels in those 15 or so runs. Being under leveled the XP was great with a level every other run until 59, wherein it took 3 runs to hit 60. Things'll be different in Hell, of course, but I imagine it'd be similarly good XP while still under leveled. I can't really speak as to pushing for the 90's on p1.

Thanks guys. I spent the last hour or so running LK for something to use. Nothing directly useful now, but a Vex did drop.

Nice! That's half an Ohm for that 1.10s CtA, if you are into making one.
Thanks for input Espr, sounds good. I imagine I would like to push as far as clvl 91 to be able to craft 3 skill tab amus.. I don't mind if it requires a long grind as long as I'm finding stuff along the way.

Grats on the Mat and on the sexy rune drop!
Grape I think the best thing is try to find the posted 1.07 cowzons. I think one is purplelocust's 99 zon and in here we discussed it also when fabian made one. Nope it was on another thread, but around here there's lots of javazon talk.
I played mine some time ago and I don't remember much. I do remember I just copied what fabian ended up using.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Thanks for the link nulio. There was a couple 1.07 cowzons linked in the end of that thread. Good reads.
Seems like I'm just good to go like I'm right now. Will load on CB where I can, I have a feeling that on p1 just the maxed LF will work wonders on its own though.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Indeed. You might like or not Rattlecage. I prefer having less CB and lose the stupid monsters running away mod.
If you kill the king by accident you'll need some other pat/mat to open the portal.
If you want to be as fast as possible you can also farm legs. If you want chippies for crafting a auradin with a nice map from wp up to tristam can farm gems and legs with nice times. (and it's a nice change from tele sorc)

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
I used Rattlecage for a longish time and then switched to something else and was happier. If I were to go back and play more seriously with her again, I'd probably try Rattlecage some more, but I'm guessing I'd go back to the Spirit Shroud or whatever.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Anyone ever explore the hit power craft bug? According to WoRG, the ctc frost nova when hit becomes on striking if a ctc on striking mod is generated. This would give you a neat approach. Especially if you had a Frost Zealot or the like because you'd be casting them fairly regularly (7%).

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Took my Javazon and decided to push through NM during one session. Well, I didn't because I got stuck in LK running Russet Armor rack, it just won't give the damn Skullder's. Luckily the very same rack drops Winged Helms if I cast Decoy next to it. Got my Valkyrie's Wing before even Guillaume's dropped.
Ultimately Sorcs are probably the best rack runners because of teleport but I think Amazons are not that bad either. Packing very high FRW and they are very fast. Plus with casting Valkyrie/Decoy it's very easy to affect seed it seems, comes in handy when looking for rack. E.g. I can force different items from each of these: casting decoy on the rack, casting decoy next to rack, casting decoy two times next to rack etc. And then there's how I approach the rack too... Seems I can get Defenders too out of this, but I'm not interest to spend my time getting that Visceratuant.

Sorcs can do same thing with hydras to influence drops from racks. So they are still undisputed #1
I've actually gotten fair number of Visceratuants just by running targets like council/cows/CS so it might be good idea to skip on rack unless you have immediate use for it.

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Ha! Stupid Sorcs
And they can also get variable items depending where Hydra is casted/how many times?
Yeah, definitely not going for that Visceratuant. It's just "would be cool to have" item for me right now. No immediate use.

Some progress made with my Java. Got that Skullder's from rack and quested until Nihlathak. That same particular rack I got my Guillaume's, Valkyerie's Wing and that Skullder's from is also dropping Dragon Shields with a different approach and one decoy cast. Tiamat's is my planned end-game shield so here I'm again, running that very same rack This time I can hit two super chests on the way too, so some variation at least, and possibly other goodies!
Couple questions:
1) how good is NM Councils at dropping unique jewelry? I'm looking for Cat's Eye and Raven Frost. Doing fine without, but I could settle for some Travi running if there's some possibility of those popping up. Might get some good charms while running, too.
2) does the Hel+TP cube recipe scroll work? Would be nice to know before I start punching holes in my items...

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Thanks. Okay, I could live with plain IAS jools I guess...
Oh, I forgot it had 1.07 there too. Will do! :]
2) No
1) I ran NM trav a long time ago. But check ATMA 1.07 drop calculator to have an idea.
