Explanation for skills:
This took a ton of thought. There's a very high probability I won't live long enough to use hydra in hell. I tried to come up with a good skillset using hydra in nightmare, or even set it as a forever skill, but synergies are a bit adjusted in D2R, and the only solution I could come up with left me without teleport in nightmare. No go.
You can get through normal with just about anything, so there's very little synergy in that skill set. I saved the synergies for later difficulties. NM will be challenging, but should be doable. Blizzard gets a bit of damage from Ice Blast, and Frozen orb doesn't have any synergies (except CM which I don't have access to). For cold immunes, we can use the mercenary and Meteor.
If I'm still alive in hell, we have a decent toolkit. Hydra and Meteor get damage from Fireball. Blizzard will slow things down so hydra has more time to deal damage, and having three elements available means immunities shouldn't be miserable.
This character overall is pretty awful tbh. Greaves and plated belt require decent strength, small shield has poor blocking and low sockets, long swords require dexterity, etc. My guess is I will end up with a spirit longsword with Rhyme. That said, I get a little giddy thinking about a +x meteor +x hydra Leaf
ALL THAT SAID, I upgraded my pc to win10 just to play this, and I'm really glad I did. I'm having a blast with the new animations. We also now have the option of a shared stash, which I think I will use as a slightly extended stash for this character since she's my only character right now. I'm in the tower right now, and things are going fine. Mana is a huge problem and I knew it would be. I've always wanted to make a nova sorc though, so this scratches that itch....a little.
I shopped a staff with poison damage because I'm using a lot of melee, and I have a few damage charms. For now, the damage is acceptable with a mercenary in tow. The only other gear I have is an MF ring, a GF ring, an amulet with +10 mana, and a random blue scale mail that I gambled. I can't wait for act two; circlets, plated belt, breast plates with topazes, and Blizzard!!
Level 16
I saw you edited a precedent message. I guess that's where things messed up ;-)
