I have some 1.07 uniques, like wizard spike and skin of the viper magi (no +1 on this one).
I also have some +2/30+@ magic paladin shields which I plan to socket in 07 (for max 4 sockets)
The goal is to level a fireball only sorceress in 1.10a to ~70-80 and later being able to clear the Hellforgequest in 1.10s for Beta-CTAs.
The Hammerdin has the advantage that he can kill everything without a merc, the sorceress can teleport, which makes HFQ farming faster.
Also, a sorceress can easily find Baals throne to quickly level up the fireballer.
On the other side, Frozenorb+Fireball is, without many +skills, not able to kill things as fast as a hammerdin.
Also, there's no Insight, so Hammerdin is slightly better because of Redemption in keeping the blue bulb high.
So which one should I choose, also the ancients have to be beaten in Hell, but with rerolling them it should be doable with both.
If you farmed already some BKWBs, what did you do?
