1.07 Vex

This means there are at least 2 drop patterns for vex in 1.07. I'm assuming you found this on one player.

 

[pharphis]

wait, nope. 3 patterns. One of them is Cuirass + quhab.. another iirc includes griffon headress (only got the cuirass one twice but I'm almost certain I knew there was 2 from the 1.07 thread)

 

[Clervis1]

Thanks! It was either Infinity or Enigma, and after weighing my choices I decided Infinity would make a bigger difference overall. It's big picture uses are obvious, and in the short term it will go quite nicely with my little Kingslayer project.

Awesome. It's kind of funny that you mention that. I was experimenting last night and built a theoretical max Enchantress Kingslayer using some ridiculous gear, like 1.10a CtA and BKWB, 40 max dam GCs, 1.07 Arkain, and then an ethereal ebugged Champion Axe (though not with the 1.07 ethereal max damage bug). She did like 11K-24K damage on the LCS. It was fun having Vengeance on left click and teleport on right. Things get hot you just teleport away. Although, I bet it would be awesome to have a Frozen Orb/melee combo. Oh man.

Sorc is at level 60 right now, so Kingslayer is right around the corner. It is in a bugged 1.07 base, but it will be slow since it's a sword. I don't have ridiculous gear, but I expect some pretty good damage! Expect a full write up soon.

Long time lurker, recently started up D2 again and been doing some pitruns to get a necro on the way to 99 .. Just found this beauty Any idea what to do with it?

 

[nulio]

Only one thing to do with it. Make the ones missing it for the grail really mad.

Grats!

I'll look forward to it. You got a screenie of that sword?

All the mads. Every single one of them. And then a few.

I do! Posted a little earlier in the thread. I had it in the stash with Oath made in it and wasn't planning on using it for anything else. I knew swords were slower for sorcs, but didn't realize quite how fast a Feral Axe would have been, but it should be a fun build regardless, and I may buckle and trade for an axe if the sword feels too slow.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M REALLY STEAMING RIGHT NOW! (img broken for me as well)

And to not be completely OT: Did a few LK runs (30) and Runemaster payed off again. This time a gul. Not even close to what i was looking for, but it still makes for a more fun time than finding nothing at all.

1.13 guls are bad

 

[Clervis1]

Wow. That's beautiful. I really don't think you need it to be that fast considering you'll be doing so much damage. But you can get from 18 frames to 15 with just 40 IAS. Have you thought about other skills than masteries and enchant. I'm thinking orb since it doesn't take synergies, but I'll just shut up and wait on bated breath to see how you do it.

 

[pharphis]

Both Frost nova and FOrb get 1 sec added to duration per lvl, so I think either one could be useful to slow monsters as a melee sorc. One obviously adds some ranged support (so you don't have to run up to archers or tougher monsters to chill them), but also requires some prerequisites to use

*shrug* FNova is more classy, though

 

[Clervis1]

Oh man. I should of thought of that. That's like my favorite skill, too. And it's like 5 less skill point requirements. Of course, you could always go for Shiver Armor, since you'll really need extra def without a shield. But a FOrb or FNova with a Holy Freeze merc should draw most guys down to a crawl.

My current set up has me at 13 fps, so that may be workable.

Thanks for the ideas guys!

I haven't used Frost Nova before, which makes it look tempting, or pour the points into Shiver Armor.

It was Tyrael's Might. I saw it before it disappeared--was working a second ago!

y not both

Shiver armor iirc slows their attack during the animation, and defense is a must. It's a skill worth considering putting multiple points into, imo (but I'd rather use telekinesis and ES with leftover points or even teleport)

Holy freeze is cute. I'd probably prefer insight+prayer (life/ES regen) but if using infinity then def use holy freeze for safety

Ha, yea I didn't think of ES. Although, you'd have to be niggardly with your skill points. Maxing Fire Master and Lightning Mastery are a must, as is Warmth most likely. I don't know that Enchant is optional considering fully spec'ed and synergized it adds about 7K average damage, whereas Vengeance itself tops out at 7.5K with that bad boy. A one-pointer in a fully synergized Enchant can barely get up to 1K average damage. So you're left with about 20 points left for Shiver Armor, Frozen Orb, Frost Nova, or ES/Telekenesis. All are unique but completely viable IMHO.
