The annual Asian challenge

Just don't start pumping dex to help your blocking ^_^

Mercs don't travel across acts in classic, so no they're really not worth the effort. Well a might merc might help a necro get through the arcane + maggot quicker in A2.

With your javazon remember you are going to have CRAZY leeching problems with such low base damage weapons, and no nice sources of 10% from a mask or anything silly like that.

Thanks for the reply. I am using a shield so don't get your point??? Can you elaborate?

Too bad you leave them behind....I guess I'll stop shopping for a merc with a name I like. :)
 
I think there isnt a dex adds to block formula in classic. If a shield does 72% block, then it does so even with base dex.
 
and weapon speed doesnt affect ww just to know...
$hit, I accidentally put 8 into mastery, now build needs to be 86 to be completed
I guess I have to make ww instead or lvl again which suxx
I'll need a snap at least
 
Thanks Mouse...I guess the good news then is I can pour those points into vitality then. Don't think I need much AR.

by the way...GO LEAFS GO!
 
Got on long enough to put account in order: *thebigT.

Did the "where did my inventory go? OOOh yeah Claaassssic." Now I understand why STINGER kept popping in and dumping gear (thx again, by the way), no where to put it, LOL. Ran into Kaos and a couple others. They were sufficiently far ahead of me that I went to a new game and started pounding the enemy with my baba. Still trying to figure out what to do with him.

Connection wasn't bad (cable in from Eastern Mass.) - ping averaged around 200.

See folks there later this evening EST.
 
Doh!!!!

THANK YOU WINONA!!!!!!!

Didn't catch who gave me some nice gear and gold. Level 60 something Pally...but thanks again I'll be sure to pass it down if and when I've outgrown it.
 
My acct on Asia is TEB14 and anyone who has contacted me or Bird we have tried to organize into a game even if lvls vary so that they can get beter exp and catch up to the rest of us vacationers.

As for items available and a strategy for getting going in Classic i will add a few things here for you.

Only Normal Class Uniques and Sets are in Classic
Steel and Snaps are godly, and even the lowest Snap possible out kills the a decent Martel or sword.
Sigs and Hsarus stuff are king for AR gear as well as Angelics.
Crushing itesm were listed and there are a couple more like Rixots but Bird got the main ones.

Even if you get the best of the best sets and uniques available in Classic you will fail miserably without good rares.

Rares rule Classic and the best way to get godly rares is gambling.

gamble, Gamble, Gamble, and when you are done gambling then gamble some more!!! So are we clear on this one?

Gambling from my EXP is best done from about 24-50 After 50 stuff gets expensive and new mods that you dont want become available. Pick up everything and sell everything and gamble everything.
 
Slowly educating myself about classic (no runes, no charms, crappy uniques, no class stuff etc etc) ....is it correct that are no rare Jav's in classic?

Regardless I am going to just plow ahead and see what drops. If are no rare javs I guess I should forget gambling for them any more.
 
java zon stuff

no rare javs u just deal it out /w light dmg
if u run into a LIght immune that means your in hell mod.......if your in hell mod then your probably /w at least 2-3 other ppl.....so dont worry about LI's if you can kill the non LI's thats all u gota worry about. Carry lots of pots
thats my advice for mana problems.....2x mana pots in inventory *_*
 
Thanks Bird. I am thinking mana should not be a huge issue as these attacks (except maybe LF) are not big mana hogs. Prefer to keep three slots for life and rejuvies and just fill from inventory if need mana if slot 4 empties.

I had classic 1.09 2x lvl thrower
owned everybody twice his lvl with 15 ed superior harps

That build wont work so hot now without mastery bugs and only 1/2 PvP for throw weapons.

At 1/6 I think you might be in the 60/Phoon area.

BTW, Phoons and Javas and he like in Clasic due to being nonmagical also dissapear after thier quantity is used up.

Now in 1.09 I had a Java in classic and she did fine with a TON of leech using Phoons but I still had to drink pots. You can get mana/kill on rings, but i am not sure you can anywhere else. I suggest as a "young java" or any young caster to snag a 2 sock helm and slap a couple saphires in it to help with mana for a while. I also suggest relying on CS a lot more than your LF as truely LF is a pack skill, a tight pack skill where CS an LS are great for single and scattered packs.
 
yes, they dissapear
need to watch and repair them in time

as to java, best setup has always been woe shield + twitch, that should give you enough mana
on rings mana per kill restricted to 1 (useless)
guess woe is only important to this build, when you dont have it, +mana items OK
 
Yes I had a laugh when I used up my last javelin in the cave in the Cold Plains reasonably busy killing thinking I would just start jabbing and suddenly I was empty handed. Had to run and TP quick.

WoE and Twitch in Hell and even in NM could make you a nice dead java pretty quickly as it will take godly gears to get the rez or Irthras set and godly Jewlery. Not something you are going to find on a first character.
 
I usually skip the cows....just something about all that mooing that makes me feel silly playing the game.

Besides I like cows.
