Full ethereal char - anything allowed as long it's ethereal

[d2lover]

What do you think is a good build with full ehtereal equipment.

rings and amulets are allowed and can be unique.

I thought of a Bonenecro, with bonewand 'white', rare boneshield and rare bonehelm and a rare Boneweave , also rare vampirebone gloves

 

[Babyhell]

That would be a rare bony (?) build!

Let's try... obviously rares need repair mod
Rare ePally rare circle
BotD eBA
eSkullder's ire
Exile eST/SR/VS
eSandstorm's
Rare eGloves with IAS/res
Rare eBelt with FHR/res
Jewelry to fit the needs

For the build...obviously not Hammerdin

Oh and maybe...if the items are Eth socketed, are they allowed to be non ethereal?

 

[d2lover]

no, the item has to be transparent, if it can be, and phaseblades are not allowed if not ethereal

 

[saracen85]

An assassin with dual shadow killers! With fade, you'd be doubly transparent!

This!!!

However, leveling gear will be the hardest one to build...is being naked for a while is allowed?

 

[d2lover]

yeah of course you can have empty slots,

and you can use the starting weapons, if you wish so

is the selfrep mod levelreq 1?

 

[Babyhell]

There's one lvlreq 1, the 33s one, at least on circlets for what I checked.

Also, it brings another category: the red one. Every item has to be broken. When you find a suitable item, you have to destroy it by wearing it and being hit until it breaks, to be allowed to attack again.

Obviously ethereal is mandatory not to repair it by mistake and having to repeat the process xD

 

[d2lover]

then magic items are great, they have less chance to have a prefix and so you should pick up any magic to see if it's eth + selfrep

for the belt slot that is, other items are kinda useless without good affixes

 

[saracen85]

Lolz. If you had hoarded gear over the years, levelling isn't really a problem. Just use and discard. It'd be interesting how many lores and stealths needed to get to entering nm...

 

[Babyhell]

Errr...I don't keep all kind of stuff... There's plenty left on the ground when I play...so... Maybe I'm not taking into account seriously enough all those crazy SPF ideas all along xD

 

[d2lover]

Should Natalyas set be allowed?

it makes you ehtereal after all, but then all would make a trapsin lol

 

[d2lover]

Found these, so maybe a Kickersin? (shame no higher defense)

For an extra challenge, your build could be an amazon focused around Penetrate. If I recall correctly, penetrate degrades your weapon rapidly for extra damage.

 

[Werebear sandwich]

An actually good build for that would be a sorc, but I think sorcs suck, so I would go druid 20 in fissure, 20 in firestorm(for synergies), 5 in carrion vine, 5 in dire wolf, 5 in oak sage, and a total of one in each of the prereqs adding to a total of 5. that way, you hide behind minions and fissure-nuke anything that gets past them so you never use any durability on your ethereal stuff. You could also go fishymancer, but I would want as many opportunities to massacre things with fissure as possible. I don't know if any of that's your style, that's just how I'd go about it.

Hi, what do you think sould the Mercanary wear for the Bone-necro?

eth Bonehew (the only merc weapon with 'Bone' in the name I think)
eth upped Shaftstop 'Um'
dependant on resistances of the Merc either eth Bonevisage with 3 Um or eth upped Vampiregaze 'Um'

now, that will be a huge waste of a Ber rune, but I think 1 Ber rune should be socketed in the Bonehew, and probably a Shael/Amn (dependant on helmet).

Or what you think?

Edit: I forgot about 'Duress' runeword. So 'Duress' Boneweave armor (eth) will be my pick!

And that makes Ber in Bonehew obsolete

TBH, even with 1.13 drop rates, Ber-ing a Bonehew kinda made me cringe a little...

Frenzy with eDeath would be too convenient, so I'm still trying to find a rare self-repair pally shield for some Aura build maybe.
