1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

Another thing this is how i kill stuff. Frozen orb -> Static till as low as possible then nova/frozen orb. I keep teleporting my merc back so he doesn't get raped as well to have a merc useful in 1.09 you pretty much need gaze 20% shaftstop :P
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

If you go P8 on Normal and NM, then P3 in Hell, you will already have a level 81+ character at Mat.

I disagree that Rhyme is the only good RW in 1.09. Honor in a Yari or Partizan is a great Merc weapon, and Smoke is a great merc armor (and main character armor) to help with resists.

Not a single one of my 1.09 characters (10 Mats/Pats) used Shaftstop on the Merc. Standard equipment I've used is:

NM: Hone (AmnAmnShael) + Duriel's Shell + Gaze/Blackhorns
Hell: Hone (AmnAmnShael) + 'Smoke' Scarab Husk/Wyrmhide/Wire Fleece (or Gladiators Bane with Um at 90+) + Blackhorn's (questing) or Gaze (Ancients/Cows)

Keep in mind that static has a beneficial bug in 1.09 for big targets on higher players settings - on P8 in Hell, it statics Mephy and others to a sliver.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

I see it in a diffrent point of view if the weapon on the merc is not a best in slot i don't consider it too good:p
I would use Hone or stormspire if i ever find it. Or Breath of Dying(LOLOL if i ever find the runes).
Duriels shell/guardians angel is very good for mercs but i still think shaftstop is slightly better. Arkainse Valor would be a decent too i guess if you like to pimp your merc really bad :p
My old sorc used to have eth Gaze 20% dr(took me ages to find gaze to begin with and the first i find is eth lucky me) and eth shaftstop.
Anyways the only annoying thing with 1.09 is that you can't buy Manapotions from NPC's :P

Oh yeah according to ATMA dropcalculator the dropchances aren't affected above 4 players whats up with that?
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

Good luck finding Stormspire - it's the most rare unique in the patch. I'm sure you're kidding about BotD - it's not a 1.09 RW.

Lots more annoying things about 1.09 than the lack of mana pots from vendors. A quick list off the top of my head:

- Can't break immunities
- MSLE
- Fetish Doll death explosions
- IM in the CS
- Ridiculous Conviction/Might/Fana aura levels from Hell bosses
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

That's some decent droppage for 50 runs. Make sure you're using the "edit post" button rather than double/triple posting though, the mods will get you for that. Level 70's a pretty good place to be for Hell D, but those meph runs at the higher /p settings should net you some experience up into the higher levels.

Crazy old me Mat'd my barb at 72 IIRC. Might have been 74. So It's definitely do-able with the right gear. The only way I made it there was with my dual cruel collosus blades.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

Yeah I am quite lucky really... I am playing World of Warcraft, I got one of the most desired and rare mounts ingame on my 2nd attempt and so on.

However when it comes to diablo i am usally very lucky getting Shako pretty fast on my 1.13 chars but when it comes to oculus it have always taken ages for both 1.09 and 1.13 :/
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

doombringer!!??!!?? GIEB!!! man I don't know how many different flippin meph runs I've done with my baba in hell and I still have yet to get the skullders, shako, occy, doombringer, bstar, gore riders, etc that I've been waiting for. Ohh well I suppose.

Just for fun, I may start running a 1.09 hammerdin soon to see how it goes. I think the damage stays a little lower without the synergies but with the lower hp's and nil magic resist it should be pretty interesting. Gotta see if I have enough time over the next few weeks to get any playing in though. Maybe I'll just finish my sorc up instead before starting another new project. Or do some self-rushing maybe... too many ideas, not enough time.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

@cheerupemokid10 - don't give up - Mephy can most definitely drop Doombringer and the rest - you just have to get into a Meph-running groove.

I got my first Doombringer WELL before I got my first Baranar's... because I was running for the Baranar's. Gore Rider eluded me a LONG time - I actually had gotten things like Naj's Light Plate, Odnal's, Griswold's Valor, Arkaine's Valor, Vex from Countess, etc. and had "officially" moved on from 1.09 before my first Gore Rider dropped (along with like 2 Stormshields, 3 Gladiator's Banes, and 3 Baranar's) when I was running him for a TGod's for my WW Barb project.

D2 is funny like that.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

Akisto, you a really racking up the sweet drops from Mephy. Pass on some of that mojo my way so I can get a Windy from Pindle or Baal (or Nilly, for that matter).
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

I don't think i've ever gotten anything good from Nihlathak even in 1.13 ladder season i had a close to perfect geared sorc a uber runner and a close to perfect geared Hammerdin and the only thing i ran him for was the keys :P.

in 1.09 the rarest thing i got from pindle is Aldur's armor, never really ran baal.

I found another torch of iro wtf is wrong with my "luck"

Found my Shako now and i've leveled from 70-74.5 on just running mephi :)

Click to expand...

I would not be sad if i found the torch of iro. It's tc3. One of missing grailers.. :steam:


 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

yeah well i found 2 so far and i still haven't found my Oculus/Skullders/Skin/WT

on a serious note i found Lidless a few minutes ago :)
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

This is ridiculus i found my first 1.09 SoJ before i even found a ravenfrost or mandald heal.
Found 2 Wizardspikes and stormshield as well.
Still missing WT/Oculus/Skullders
I did some countess running for a Lem rune to make Wealth runeword to increase my mf by 4% over a 4 socketed armor with 4 P.Topaz :P Managed to find a Pul rune as well.
So right now I'm at exactly 400% MF with weaponswap(using 2 Angelic halo50%mf x2, amu and weapon on swap) and a rhyme

Found oculus finally!
Found Skullder's as well finally :)

Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

In the spirit of Akisto's quest, would anyone be interested in an informal 1.09 MFO? I'm running Baal for small charms (He dropped one already that I rolled Shocking on) and I like adding Pindle and Snapchip to the mix (got am Arreat's from the Icy Cellar last night). So a chase for a WF or TC90 S/Us might be good motivation to run my Tal's Burizon.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

what does MFO mean? Basically I'm running Mephisto now till im 85(i'm currently 84) then switching to pindle afaik he is 90 so i would gain the maximum number of exp. Oh btw i run players 8 and my merc seems to keep himself alive with a hone sundan 199% a gaze 15%(QQ) and a shaftstop. I found a eth Glad bane yesterday 193% so im going to try give it to him when my merc dings 85 :P I also managed to find a nice charm with 1-19 Lightning damage and 17 life.
 
Re: 1.09 Roll Call - Goals, Progress, Finds

I noticed that with ATMA Drop calculator 1.09 Players count do increase the chance of an item dropping from a Super Unique or a Unique monster, is this a bug within the calculator or is it true?(it helps to player 5 on Bosses)
