More of a "Mat & D2R fun" post. 
This character was started in D2L and then forwarded to D2R after playing through Hell together with @maxicek, @PhineasB, @Vildecor, @D2DC, @d2lover and @snickersnack. We brought characters to Hell solo and finished the Hell run with the group.
Legacy D2 MP Action
The fourth iteration of MP action was themed "Girls Night Out", with only female characters (and mercenaries) allowed.
A welcome opportunity to go for one of my all-time favorites with the mighty Dream/Bear Sorc. Since we had to use A1 rogues, Infinity was off the table, so I went for a hybrid approach using a 2-hander with single Dream (a first for me). Apart from mixing in some physical damage to deal with lightning immunes, she also used a high level (48) Enchant to provide something like ~15k fire damage on top of the Holy Shock from Dream and her physical damage. AR also was decent with such high level Enchant, as Bear Sorcs tend to have an issue in that department.
Her weapon of choice was non-eth 3os Tomb Reaver. With 3x Shael socketed and some IAS from other gear, this hits 5 FPA in Bear form. The A1 Merc was firing from a Wrath Diamond Bow. Both procs are very valuable, the back and forth between Decrepify and Life Tap provided very welcome QoL, improving life upkeep whichever was active.

GoMule dump after Mat run:
As for Normal and Nighmare: Pretty standard stuff and uneventful questing. Twinking with staves with charges (first Charged Bolt, then Nova), Blizzard from 24 onwards. Usual armor pieces like SoJs, Viper etc.
Then we faced the issue of Tomb Reaver's high level requirement coupled with the MP group rules prescribing that we started in A1 Hell without quests or WP. :/ So we had to get all the way to 84 in the Cave in A1.
Hell was done in two sessions last weekend, and was a blast yet again. With Mercs providing things procs and Faith, Enchant from my Sorc and multiple types of damage, everything died very quickly as we steamrolled through the content. Towards the end, the lack of Infinity was sometimes noticeable, just when I happened to face bigger FI or LI groups when I was separated from the group occasionally. One death occurred after I couldn't join the TCP/IP game and had to catch up by killing Diablo solo. Unfortunately I didn't realize I was wearing Enchant buff gear when facing De Seis. Other than that very easy gameplay.
Here's the girls doing their Baal run:
She didn't get any spectacular drops, but picked up a Gul when finishing the HF quest after the group session.
It was fun to mix things up with single Dream, high fire damage from Enchant and some phyiscal damage from Tomb Reaver and charms. However, I was planning from the beginning to turn her into the strongest dual Dream Bear Sorc that I could built with the gear I'd amassed in recent years....
D2R Fun
The first character (and so far only other SC char) that I forwarded to D2R was a Smiter for Torch and Anni farming, who happened to quickly get a Sorc Torch.
Fully decked out, her setup now looks like this:
I am very much a fan of keeping reasonable cast speed on switch for teleport and the occasional static field, so 63 FCR is a must for me. Hence some of the gear choices above. I wanted 86 FHR on attack switch, too. Otherwise, everything went into getting damage and AR as high as possible.
LCS in D2R goes up to 82k damage, although that is with full skiller inventory and after casting BC and full pre-buff. It's 78k when running CtA in inventory, and most of the time I'm at 66k e.g. for quick Baal runs when not using Enchant pre-buff gear either.
Wrapping things up, here's a bit gameplay when I took her to a D2R Act Boss tour on P8:
Thanks to the MP group, was super fun as always!
Cheers

Then we faced the issue of Tomb Reaver's high level requirement coupled with the MP group rules prescribing that we started in A1 Hell without quests or WP. :/ So we had to get all the way to 84 in the Cave in A1.
Hell was done in two sessions last weekend, and was a blast yet again. With Mercs providing things procs and Faith, Enchant from my Sorc and multiple types of damage, everything died very quickly as we steamrolled through the content. Towards the end, the lack of Infinity was sometimes noticeable, just when I happened to face bigger FI or LI groups when I was separated from the group occasionally. One death occurred after I couldn't join the TCP/IP game and had to catch up by killing Diablo solo. Unfortunately I didn't realize I was wearing Enchant buff gear when facing De Seis.
Other than that very easy gameplay.Here's the girls doing their Baal run:
She didn't get any spectacular drops, but picked up a Gul when finishing the HF quest after the group session.
It was fun to mix things up with single Dream, high fire damage from Enchant and some phyiscal damage from Tomb Reaver and charms. However, I was planning from the beginning to turn her into the strongest dual Dream Bear Sorc that I could built with the gear I'd amassed in recent years....
D2R Fun
The first character (and so far only other SC char) that I forwarded to D2R was a Smiter for Torch and Anni farming, who happened to quickly get a Sorc Torch.
Fully decked out, her setup now looks like this:
Code:
Gris Caddy (3x Shael, 1x IAS/AR jewel)
Gris Caddy (4x Shael) when doing Baal only (faster under Decrepify)
CoH AP
Dream grand crown
Dream troll nest
+3 Lightning, 10 FCR magic amulet
Arach
Ravenfroat
BKWB
eth Sandstorm Treks
Dracul's
Switch: Beast/Spirit
Inventory: CtA, Torch, Anni, cube, Lightning skillers, AR/lightning dmg SCs, AR/FHR SCs
Merc: Infinity eth GPA, ebug CoH, Andy's with IAS/min dmg
Build and Enchant pre-buff gear same as above.I am very much a fan of keeping reasonable cast speed on switch for teleport and the occasional static field, so 63 FCR is a must for me. Hence some of the gear choices above. I wanted 86 FHR on attack switch, too. Otherwise, everything went into getting damage and AR as high as possible.
LCS in D2R goes up to 82k damage, although that is with full skiller inventory and after casting BC and full pre-buff. It's 78k when running CtA in inventory, and most of the time I'm at 66k e.g. for quick Baal runs when not using Enchant pre-buff gear either.
Wrapping things up, here's a bit gameplay when I took her to a D2R Act Boss tour on P8:
Thanks to the MP group, was super fun as always!
Cheers
