Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

Re: Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

I'm pretty sure that game doesn't crash when BO runs out of morphed merc, cause all my runs were under 3 min with my zon and my BO lasts for 4 minutes or so and game still crashed from time to time. I'm not really sure what it's all about, but it crashed only in windowed mode for me. Dunno if you are using fullscreen ot windowed mode to play D2 but in fullscreen it wouldn't be any problem, and reason why I'm actually suggesting beta version of that helm is cause it's freaking 33%. It's as reliable as Reaper's tool for Decrep.
 
Re: Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

I believe Onderduiker (who else) said that when the merc is morphed his life is increased by 33% and if he has BO's % and it runs out the game doesn't know how to calculate his life anymore. I probably don't remember the technicalities quite right..but you say it could have never ran out for you, so it's still a mystery.

I've tried some runs with Delirium + Prayer. Without HF Lister & CO are to strong and they cannot be cursed anyway so Prayer was out. Tested some Delirium + HF and I actually don't like the extra confuse and terror procs. They cause more chaos and stuff runs around the throne room making my runs longer.

It was fun testing a different setup, but for now Infinity, CoH and Andariel's have proven to be the best combo.

Gonna wait for that Cham and caster amulet I guess :whistling:
 
Re: Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

Quick question:
Using Cat's Eye instead of caster amulet would be better or worse?

Setup 1: Cham+betaBKWB+Cat's Eye*
Setup 2: Cham+betaBKWB+HLW
Setup 3: RJoF+RF+Caster Sorc Amulet*

* Same skills for sorc stuff , more 5 dex and life (life in BKWB and more skills in BO) in setup 1, more AR and cold sorb in setup 3 (probably both not needed?), FRW in one and FCR and ED in other...
 
Re: Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

I have a Mara's atm. So setup one would be more or less the same, but much more expensive, although Cat's Eye/HLW are interesting choices I would be forced to keep Magefist to hit the 40/63 FCR bps.

With setup two she'd have an extra skill point, still depending on Magefist.

Don't need any ED%, her physical damage is tiny, but she could use a 15 IAS / all res, or fire, light or poison res jewel (too bad rare jewels can't spawn with ias). But a good caster amulet would really be the most beneficial taking out Magefist, giving 2 to sorcy skills (doesn't count towards BO, but still pretty good) and possibly some resistances.

All this is assuming I've replaced Azurewrath with a Silence PB, since she'd need the extra resists after I take out the Um from Ark's.

If I would keep the Magefist and use HLW + IAS/Res jewel I have no where to put the Cham in since the SS should have either a Shael or Um. Although with Silence's resists I could put a fervor jewel in SS (haha), Cham goes into the plate and there is room for a beta BKWB.

Now I just have to find all those items! :)
 
Re: Long overdue mat thread - Stardust

If you want a Cham, I have one that I have no immediate use for. I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement. PM me or post in my trade thread.
