Re: Adventures of the Cookie (-Cutter) Monster
Rhone: Neat little fact, thanks! I didn't have Baal pegged for a very bright fellow.
inthayne: Wow thanks for the little tip! I had already slipped it down to XP mode compatibility but apparently that didn't suffice for Vista x64. This method worked great, and now I don't have to re-install those iffy Logitech drivers. Thank you! I've taken to using wheelup for the switch, and wheeldown for the inventory. It takes a tiny bit of adjustment but it works fairly well. Now I can use 'w' for something else. Oh goddess, you've got my fingers salivating. I use the wheel click for screenshots. It makes it much easier! Much obliged to you, sir.
I've decided to more-or-less ignore my fishyzon for now until the sorc has acquired some decent gear for her. Right now the 'zon stands near the middle of Act V NM, waiting for me to tell her where to go. I hope her patience holds because I have plans for her, I do.
My sorc currently enters the palace in Act II NM. Luck has sorta' smiled upon her these last two sessions as she has found quite a handful of S/Us. I say "sorta'" because I wouldn't consider any of those items worth holding on to, at least not for either of my two ladies. Eh oh well. At lease she finally found another Amn in CVT. If ever a suitable 3os armor pops up, some lucky madam will receive Peace. Gee, I wonder who?
I really like the difference some synergy makes to Fireball. I could only get it as high as ~500 with my previous (ES) Sorc. I can start to see the thousands' worth of damage people report. I still think I will end up diverting some points from the Mastery into Fire Bolt, as I don't think I will use Meteor incredibly often. Although I will go ahead and max it. I don't want to start radically deviating from the cookie sheet just yet. *winks*

EDIT: I'll post the LCS. Any recommendations, comments? I have some doubts about how to raise Str and Vit. I mean, how much and when. I know I need 156 Str but don't know how much +Str items I can depend upon. And I would like to have absolutely as much Life as possible, since I will basically ignore blocking.
EDIT 2: I replaced the above LCS with a more recent shot. I found this nice little magic ring, the highest plus yield to mana I've found on a ring so far with any character. With this I dumped my two perfect sapphires -slotted armor and made Stealth. The additional +% to cast rate over what I have now really makes Fireball good competition for the Orb. In some instances it clearly shines over the Orb, which put a large smile on my face, thinking back to my older sorc's poor desiccated fire tree. Ah, the fruits of the jungle. Maybe I don't totally despise Act III after all.
EDIT the Third: I removed the other links, since uploadingit.com doesn't want to play fair right now. I moved the LCS shot to imageshack. Oh, to have my domain back. *sighs* Every recent update signifies a more up-to-date LCS.
