I didn't realise it was so OP. 30 fcr really stands out to me, and the frw as well. Imagine the speed it adds to LK runs and similar.

Way, way back in this thread, someone asked if it was worthwhile to run NM LK before moving on. The answer was basically "no" and to continue on to hell LK.

I strongly disagree for a couple of reasons. First, VW can drop in NM and is one of the best racking items out there. Second, with fewer armors that can drop, chances of finding an efficient Winged Helm rack are better than hell.

With a steady supply of sapphires from chests, one can also spend time rolling premium MPK ring with FCR.

My advice, especially for the untwinked crowd, stay in NM for Wizzy, VW, and 25+ MPK/FCR ring. Plenty of time to rack elite poles, Ark.Valor, GF, etc. later on...

That makes sense. I like that suggestion. I mgiht boot up 1.07 again and try to work toward these in the distant future, but I fear it will be really hard in hc.

Why spend lots of time rerolling maps in both difficulties? I could be convinced if you have experience getting good stable racks of those items much, much quicker in nm than hell, sure, but the real items worth getting (shako, arkaines) are hard enough to find that you will probably stumble upon a VW or wizzy rack before you finish those. The sapphires would drop equally in both difficulties, so no advantage there.

Also didn't know you could get a wizspike in nm LK? It doesn't quite seem right.

First, I am 99% sure that my Wizzy dropped in NM. Second, VW is my last coveted S/U in 1.07 (I have GF, AV, 2 shakos, 7-8 Bmitts, 1-2 Mavinas belt, etc. + 15+ eth GPAs, GTs, Thres,CAs,SCres, BAs, BBs, Scourges, CBs, etc.) and I rerolled several hundred maps once I lost my coveted rack before finding another efficient one. Bad luck? Maybe, but more armor items can be racked in Hell LK reducing probabilities for Winged Helms.

Re: sapphires. I just mentioned this to check off MPK ring from NM list.

Also, max damage charms drop with greater frequency in NM. Something else to consider.


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Wizzy's qlvl is 69. Highest ilvl you can get from racks in NM is 66 at the last level of Nilly's temple.

I quickly skimmed through the affixes and didn't really see any that had higher level than 55 so I don't think there's that much difference between NM and Hell. Small and Large charms more because of their higher qlvl.

Checked my Wizzy last night and it was lvl87+-. Not from NM, nor can it apparently drop there (NM LK is lvl 55; thanks Kimppi).

To clarify, worthwhile S/Us rackable in NM (from middle of this thread):

[FONT=&quot]1) Russet armors (Skulders)
2) Demonhide Sash (String)
3) Winged Helm (Valk helm and the set version is useful too)
4) Grim Helm (Vamp Gaze)
5) Sharkskin Belt (Mav's)
6) Gilded Shield (HoZ)[/FONT]

Just to recap, for those playing untwinked, Valk Wing is an excellent helm to have, particularly for racking. End game worthy. Spending a little time in NM in search of a stable rack is worthwhile IMO.


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

War Travs can be also racked in NM. It can help reaching certain MF breakpoints if someone actually MFing in 1.07.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I was checking out this new LK map I rolled when I hit a weapon rack, not expecting anything worthwhile. Turns out I was a bit wrong thinking that. A golden Decapitator dropped.

Hellslayer
Decapitator
Two-Hand Damage: 100 to 419
Required Strength: 175
Required Level: 67
Axe Class - Slow Attack Speed
Indestructible
Unidentified
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x1c036b1c
+35 to Strength
+60 to Mana
+150% Enhanced Damage
Adds 40-60 fire damage
10% Chance to cast Level 3 Fire Ball on attack
+142% to Maximum Damage (2.5 per Character Level)
+114 to Vitality (2 per Character Level)

Wonder what kind of character can actually make use of it now..

%? Is that one of those errors with ATMA readouts for 1.07?


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Oh, that readout was when it was still on my lvl 57 sorc. Here is the readout in my stash:
Hellslayer

Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I meant to be pointing out the % itself. I didn't realise it was max damage percent. Seems weird to me. for some reason I always thought it was just a strait addition of damage, rather than percent. Arreat Summit says it's percent though :P
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

So guiz..

After twinking with envy jools and Death's set for a bit too long, I think it's maybe time to go through the trouble of finding my self a ravenzooka. Would it be worth to start up 1.07 for just this? Can I get it from a normal boss relatively quick? Also, heard HC was pretty hard in 1.07, is it also so early game?

I found two in 1.07--one from random drop, the other from a rack. The latter is how best to find them IMO because otherwise your spending a great deal of time obtaining MF gear to meet the breakpoints. I think they drop in normal LK so all you have to do is get to the 3rd act.

Leveling is tedious, however, and death is a constant threat for those untwinked. MSLEs are not numerous, but 100% fatal if you get hit with the glowing wave portion of the attack.

1.09 might be friendlier. Ravenclaw is just as deadly when brought forward...


 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

You shouldn't be able to rack a Ravenclaw.

And I totally agree with 1.09 being way easier to get a Ravenclaw if that is all you are after. Players 8 (or higher with 1.09b) saves you from multiple instances, mf works so normal meph will easily spit them out.

In 1.07 you don't have to hit the breakpoints to get uniques from the bosses.

MSLE in 1.07 is less of a threat than in 1.09 because MDR occurs after resistances in 1.07. But you do need MDR on your gear which isn't always easy to acquire.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Ah yes, no racking of bows :p

You don't really need to go past normal meph to get a RC, so there is no threat of MS/LE really.
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

the mf breakpoints only work on hell bosses, the breakpoints for earlier difficulties are impossible to reach.
I'm not sure how efficient you will be without the breakpoints. But then again, efficiency is hardly the main concern if you intend to do this in HC :)
 
Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip

I still was always worried about Bremm, becfause I believe he always had LE and Conviction aura. Then again, I used a zealot in 1.07 years ago, so if you're used to hardcore you should be fine. I'm assuming you would be using a cold sorc, anyway.

and lastly I found a Tal Rasha's Adjucation on my 20th or so Blood Raven run with 374 MF.

With the Shako and Grandfather I think I am nearly complete with all the items I wanted from 1.07. Just need to find Russet Armor rack again and hope I get a Skullder's Ire from it.

I also tried crafting a few(about 15) blood colossus blades, and got nothing worth keeping. :(
