jesus chriast, thats like 3 hours day! arent you like a zombie duering the day normally?corax said:
Today, just before the squid arrived, I tried to post THIS:
Dang! I must have done 600 meph runs this day and the evening of the 23rd. I started at lvl 90 with 1.630.xxx.xxx exp and I am now at 1.671.xxx.xxx exp. Meph gives me about 50k exp per kill, means I have to do 20 runs for 1 mio exp. 20*41 = 820. Oh! And not a single sign of bonelike boots... However, I got plenty of other nice items and grail items. That's nice. Um, yeah.
So, I am about to start my necro for some variety besides meph running. I am just still concerned about not messing it up. There are still questions, lol. For example what's up with the weapon? I figured that it would be senseless to go for block, because with 1 point into bonearmor and marrowwalks (after spear is maxxed I could work on bonewall which would further increase armor) I could absorb hits... But blackbogs has a dex req of 88. Chances are low, but if I ever found a death's web, I would miss 126 life! And I don't think I am able to get 63 dex from equipment... To eliminate any problems I try to sum up everything now:
skills:
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Explosion
20 Poison Dagger
20 Bonespear
7+ Bonewall
1 Bonearmor
1 clay golem
1 golem mastery
1 summon resist
1 every curse (10 altogether)
That would be complete at level 90 and if we get further, I will put my points into bonewall.
stats:
strength - requirements
dexterity - requirements? if I will find a better weapon, I am missing life... maxblock? bone armor should absorb hits...
vitality - every remaining point
energy - nothing? will I have enough mana with arachnid + harly?
equipment:
harly
maras
blackbogs
trangouls scales
trangouls wing
trangouls claws
arachnid mesh <--- i have no set troll belt
some rare rings
marrowwalk
switch:
white wand (+2 bonespear) or boneshade
homunculus
Hmm, the things that I worry about most atm are the stats. I said it, the dex requirement of blackbogs hurts... And I don't know if my mana will be enough...
_________________________________________________________________
Because I couldn't post it, I had some time to think about it and I came up with this:
The only useful stat of blackbogs sharp is the +4 to poison nova. It also has +5 to dagger and +4 to explosion, but I won't use them. The rest of the stats aren't that good. Because of the high dex req I thought about another weapon and I think that +3 to poison nova won't be worse than +4 PLUS less life (because of dex). So the best thing I can come up with is a white wand (+3 to pnb skills), since no unique wand has +3 to pnb skills (except just that deaths web). I think it will be better!
About the energy: I get 2 mana per level and the bonus of harly/arachnid. I have no sojs so I could slap on some heavy mana rings! Guess that should be alright!
So, I will start in a few minutes! And I am quite positive about this: I have read a long venomancer thread in a german forum and they say that their chars pwn even in hell on p8 baalruns (with partly worse equipment than mine!!). That's so cool, but I won't believe anything until I have seen it!
I said I will start in a short time. corax, you are often here and you need to level your hammerdin... I dunno how far you are, but maybe we could play together. I have the next 2 weeks free, so that shouldn't be a problem!

a white wand made of a rawling with +3 pn would be the best weapon for a venomancer, but those rawlings are hard to find. you can also try to buy a +2 skills +3 pn or +3 p/b skills +3 pn wand from the mercants, those are more easy to get.
and try to find that to-belt, i wouldn't wear that armor, it sucks and looks awful. the belt isn't that hard to find, but mephisto can't drop it, so you'll have to look somewhere else (pindle, tc85 e.g).
btw: there is a guide in the spf too (usamahanas' Veno/returnomancer guide )
actually i have to study for some exams in january, but i'd like to mp again.

Nope, death's web is the best weapon!nobo said:
My current white wand is a +2 bonespear one, but it will give me +3 to pnb skills. I thought about getting one with +1-3 to PN, too, but you need to be below level 20 to get them (I think act 2 norm is the best place) and... there was another problem... dunno. :teeth: However, I really only wear the armor for the bonus on the shield with 3 items of the set. I don't have the belt and it DOES seem to be hard to find.... :-/I looked it up again: Before lvl 20 you can get non-magic wands from every merchant. After lvl 20 you can still get them from drognan in act 1 or 2 normal, BUT you can only get +skills up to lvl 18 skills.Reborn2k said:Nope, death's web is the best weapon!
And chances to find a +X to PN one are low. farting bob

up to lvl 90 and a third
Hehe, nice! I hope I will be able to catch up soon. I just started and I am lvl 12. Means I can literally run through the rest of act 1. I will probably only be able to play further this evening and night, because our relatives arrived! And... I hope I won't get too much problems in normal, because my items have all a req of about lvl 40-50... And with only a lvl 1 golem. I'll just equip a good merc! Maybe I will play MP for the speed... It would be nice if anyone would be able to assist me... :teeth:

Are we having a hell baal session sometime before the new year, or we concentrating on lvling reborn before we start MP again? I want to do some Baal runs with you guys, since i can see how your builds have all worked out, and we can work out strategies for runs (we'll be doing alot together...)
nobo, you cheating ***! :lol:
Erm, I dunno. Not that you are all too much ahead... I give my best, but it's difficult, because the venomancer isn't really strong before lvl 30... :-/ However, I will make a LAN with my friend for the next 3 or 4 days or something and I'll see how far we can get... :xsmile4:
