This thread needs bump!
Never really got the hype about trap rat summon cheese. Elemental druid can do those just as well, and is a much better character overall. Though trap rat build got a substantial boost in ultimative I think..
While untwinked doesn't matter much early game, it does matter in late game. If I were playing sorceress in SC classic MXL, I would have equipped the full Zann Esu set ( or something ) by now, and filled my inventory to the brim with charms from all uberquests ( most with trophies too ). Now I'm having to make do with T6 gear, rares, the odd set item, whatever comes along. It really makes me appreciate how difficult the game is, after a really long time.
Also in HC you can lose all your items by dying. My current strategy ( other than not dying ) is to dump all the stuff I'm finding into my shared stash. shrines, runes, arcane shards, a fair amount of set items that I have found, base items, etc. That way, even if I somehow manage to lose the char, it'll be an improvement over starting all over again.
Oh yea.. I started playing HC again. I got tired of dying on my SC sorc, I just cannot reproduce the HC feeling on SC, so later I'll probably go ahead with that character for other reasons ( ie. uberquests ), but not now. Currently, I've finished up to Destruction Radamant.
I was looking forward to seeing Drystan's build and item details, but he hasn't posted for a while. So I'll just post mine instead.
