I am a bit unsure as to what str and dex level I should be reaching, opinions team?

Depends whether or not you want max block and how many points you're gonna sink into holy shield.
I would definitely go for max blocking with the super fast block animation from holy shield, even with a rather low block% shield.

As for skill points: Are you maxing Zeal for the physical damage component or for attack rating? Both?
Remember it only takes the first 4 points for 5 attacks, and with sufficient AR from party auras points in holy freeze might be more useful right now.

I'm pondering the block question for my bear as well. Druid forum tells me unisono not to max blocking because of the bear's slow animation BUT those guys are mostly softcore and they also assume a 4-frame attack, i.e. losing two attacks in the time it takes to block once. I'm not reaching 4 frame attack speed any time soon, 6 frames atm with the crossbow, 8 with a sword/shield.
Opinions team?



 
Obviously when I get home I can give you a full breakdown of stats - currently I have 6 points in Holy Shield - I got them early to keep me at a permanent 75% block.

Holy Freeze is maxed - with skills its now Level 22 I think

Cold Resist is around 13 and Zeal has 12.
Salvation has the single point in it, I also have 1 in cleansing to help the team out, plus the pre-reqs.

My str is currently around 100 - dex is around 50 and everything else has been put into vitality.
 
We're around lvl 54/55 and we just entered Nightmare Kurast.

Did some more Countess runs tonight, couldn't wait to get that bow upped so I can do at least SOME damage. Took me around 10 runs which still aren't too fast, but it's starting to get less annoying.

Dunno which mastery you were going, tika, if at all already, but just found you a +3 WW during one of those runs :D (only +2 SW though, ah well, can;t have it all :badteeth: )
 
nice find Oompie.

as far as i can see atm it will be swords i am leaning towards... so far i have put 1 point into sword mastery... and none in any other masterys. actualy with that bloodletter i am pretty much spoiled for choise... why?

well i did manage to pursuade andarial to give me a ginters rift. and actualy both these 2 swords are pretty much equal to eachother. both range 1, and both reach 6 frama ww bp as they are now and 4 frame bp with a sheal or ias juwel. dmg wise the bloodletter is slightly better in the physical department while ginters has a nice magical dmg bonus. then in the life protection sceme... bloodletter had life leach and ginters some magical dmg reduction...

i will just compare the 2 comming monday and see what comes out. in the end it might be the +skills on the bloodletter that will be decisive.... that and the fact that the ginters might be suitable for someone else as well. on the other hand would that make me totaly useless vs. physical immumes... while the magic dmg would sort that bit.

btw... i will be online a lot tomorrow... someone in the mood for a bit of play? just poost here and i will reply etc.
 
I might be on every now and then tomorrow, can't really set a time or anything though... I'll just see if anybody' s on when I drop by.

I'd go with the Bloodletter any day. plenty +skills, life leech. Ginther's is a solution to PI's yeah, but so is 1 pt in Berzerk :)
 
I'm just leaving the house, but will have time to help you in the evening. Would be nice if you had lvl 25 by then. What's your account?
 
I see everyone in but no one posting...WAKE UP Y'ALL!!!

If we get to Hell and think "Wow, we are SO underpowered item-wise (It's happened before...), we need a mini-twink" (one item I believe it was last time? Usually a weapon?) then i'll be ok as I found a Jalal's Mane when re-building my MF sorc yesterday...would sort me out in a lot of areas (30 Res & 30 FHR is MUCH needed), Strength and AR Bonuses (not as needed but nice!) that will need addressing...

Who's on for whooping Meph's *** tonight then? (he better give me that Ribcracker or i'll tell the Council he's been jerking off on the Compelling Orb...)

:thumbsup:
 
Lol,

not sure mini-twinks are giong to be needed. We'll see how we fare when we get there. Meppi-slapping sounds good :D

I'll let you off as you're a KTA noob!

j/k dude... :grin: :wink3:

Last time we did 'mini-twinking' Tika and waflob ran into weapon difficulties in Hell so we pretty much had to...that was Act 5 Hell though so we have a while to go yet...I was a Boneymancer so i was OK but with only xx-150 weapon dmg in Hell you do hit a brick wall eventually...



 
Nooooo!! Now that Spinnywizz has Gothic on i'm only getting half my toon-*** fix!! I retract said statement for fear of cheek-staring lossage!!
 
I need my gems and MF gloves tonight - they will make me the Million dollar man - yes.....everyone's gonna pay, everyones gotta price, cos the million dollar pally always gets his uniques! HAHAHAA

Note - Everyone needs to be familiar with early 90's WWF =)
 
We shall just do a straight-up swap eh Ivan? Mine have 11 to life and 8% CB as the only things of note, besides the 25% MF you want them for ofc!! :laugh:
 
hey all.. all ready for some serious speedy PWNing?

as for mini-twinkage i think you are runing a bit ahead of the train... last thing i remember of this session is that we were seriously and totaly OWNING the places and slapping all baddys faster then they can say "AAAAAUUUUCH"

IF need be we will discuss stuff like this later on... but things like crushing blow etc will help as well. and also some characters aint relying on their weapons for dmg at all... fire claws and holy freeze dmg even with bare fists.

cya tonight all!

p.s. if possible... 10 minuts early for "in KTA twinkage"... i will try to be there.
