Pierce is very strong for LF in the cow level, not so much in other places. Normally I have T-Gods equipped but when I want to kill some cows I switch it out for razortail ( the +20 str on titans makes up for the loss of tgods and keeps everything equipped ).

Without Infinity, killspeed will be slow so you'll have to herd the cows. This involves running around in circles ( equip harmony on switch? ), then launch LF into huge packs and watch them melt. Don't bother picking off the stragglers. The disadvantage of herding is that all the items drop right on top of each other and you have a good chance of missing a rune or other item ( Same reason why I gave up horking in Trav long ago ). If you have infinity, you can just LF the packs as they come and they'll die.

p.s. lacking griffon's, I would go Valkyrie wing over shako if you don't care about MF. Which in my experience with 400 mf blizzsorcs drop horribly as far as uniques/sets go.

thanks for the feedback guys.

im gunna try out the treachery but razortail is staying. I would also try valkyrie wing if i had one, ive found 4 shakos but no valkyrie, meh lol

It does appear better with big groups and yes i have maxed all synergyies so far , think theres one skill not done yet, no other skills except max LF synergies and 1 in pierce and its prereqs.

My untwinked HC sorc deeded, she was well past 95. Some good equipment gone, I was devastated, but new HC sorc is now in act 3 normal.

 

[WoRG1]

OUCH!!! Many condolences and best wishes on the new gal, zgpmf!

ZG - did you give a rundown for what you did for diiieeeee anyplace? I would really like to see the write up or have your process explained. I think I would like to do a completely untwinked sorcy to 99. It was my original plan, but I abandoned it when I realized making several farming sorcys was easier. I have so many questions!

Did you make infinity?
How did you go about acquiring skill charms?
How much farming did you do to get your gear in order?
In what order did you farm stuff?
How much map rerolling did you have to do? Did it hurt to lose your maps you were farming on when you had to farm the next objective?
What'd your end gear look like?

ND, link is in the " Quest for level 99 progress thread".

WoRG, thanks, I guess that is the fair price for getting TM, you know, win some, lose some.

In desperate need of Resists, I took my five lvl85 GCs and a stack of gems and introduced them to my cube. Six skillers later (I rerolled a useless skiller) and I have no resist charms worth a damn.

Normally what 1 hand weapon for Passion?

 

[Kitteh1]

I've only ever seen one Passion (I think it's pretty commonly used, I just never see it posted) and I believe it was in phase blade. Although I may be thinking of a different runeword^^ Passion is zeal? Or is that king something?

 

[djmbbandie]

Thanks for the luck Daz.

Randomly roll over a corpse in normal act II...

Find a 27% Nagelring. :alright:

 

[WoRG1]

Passion is Zeal/Zerk, Kingslayer is Vengance...

What base to use depends on your need...passion itself only requires lvl43, elite bases will push that up, but of course have better damage...phaseblade is very fast, but has low damage... If rlvl isn't too important, I'd go with cryptic sword or scourge, maybe Caduceus for the lower statreqs...or legendary mallet for highest avg damage for 1hander.

WoRG,

Where the hell is your 99 thread? Only thing worth reading these days!

 

[Kitteh1]

Hmmm, are you guys all using javazons for the cow leg of the triathlon?

 

[NorthDakota]

I'm finally working on my 99 light sorcy!! I am excited :3 It is hard work though. Right now I'm trying to get the run under my fingers. Only struggle I have is which potions to put in which potion slots. Wave two poison is so freaking annoying. I'm currently max all resists (since I found my perfect maras) but the poison still bugs the **** outta me. I'm around 28k max lightning damage, is that normal or low..? Also my merc occasionally (1 in 30 maybe?) dies to lister and his boys. I'm standing on the platform and static+lightning them down, with only 1 or 2 minions hitting the merc at a time.

He's using Infinity, Treachery, and Andys(ral). Dunno if there's a way to snaggletooth some gear around and make him tougher...

Today's random finds in NM Act III. Nightsmoke and the Chieftain.

Blizz sorc headed for meph.

 

[KoalaBear]

Finally Mat my trapsin
6 more untwit char...

 

[Dazliare1]

ND - If you have a fort, it'll basically make the merc invincible. The ED will make him leech more, and in the right base, it'll have 3500+ defense, which is enough to actually make a difference. Pretty steep rune price for a merc item, but it's what my javazon's merc uses on bnet, and it's so worth it!

 

[zaphodbrx]

Actually, fortitude will give the merc over 11k defense ( a non defiance one ), due to the chilling armor proc.
Also, extra hp, resists and more damage = monsters die faster/more leech. It's amazing.
I made mine in a kraken shell. I suggest getting as high defense eth bugged armor as possible.

My bnet one is in an ebugged shadow plate Just a hair under 3700 defense, it's incredible. Haven't gotten a Lo on sp yet though

 

[KStuart]

lol if i get a Lo its going in MY bloody Fort armor first, the merc can wait for his

Pretty sure the second Lo would be for something else too
