@NamelessPenguin sounds like you've got almost all end game gear. I guess love for the char is more important than optimal gear when it comes to getting to 99

@drmalawi I'd say the gear was very near end-game, the only place for improvements was on the Grief rolls. And some better charms. I never tried running the waves with Arreat's "Cham", maybe that would have worked better than Guillams.
I'm gonna keep him equipped, just in case I get the urge to saddle up again.

@NamelessPenguin: Exactly...From all 99ers (and i've read all threads) the most memorable for me are Ugla's Furyzon and Corr's Samsara (Hammerdin)...First one because i know the story behind, as we are RL friends with Ugla, and second because Corr is just great guy, good mentor...Being an old timer, i remember days when DC chars were still under construction, same for Marvels...Many, many succesfull 99ers since then, great job everyone, it kept me motivated to play D2 all these years, and even start my own journey here again...@PhineasB certainly deserves to be mentioned as good motivator too, as his job here is just great..,and i've certainly forgot to mention other great players...Cyrax is the guy with already four finished 99ers, right?
Sorry to hear about the retirement @NamelessPenguin . But it's definitely going to be a losing battle, especially at the later levels if the character isn't enjoyable. It was fun to watch your progress and good luck with the other projects.
@RIP - yep, @Cyrax has four of 'em.
Also wanted to let folks in this thread that the final version of the SPF 99er Compendium is finally up: https://www.purediablo.com/forums/threads/spf-99er-compendium.961047/#post-8830897. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and encouragement to get it done!

@NamelessPenguin sad to hear about it but I am sure you'll get the urge again at some point so just keep him untwinked and join us again later. I can definitely say the Fishymancer is great fun and a cool untwinked choice as he mainly needs only runewords, so if you like the play style go for it!
@PhineasB truly great job! Can't say it often enough.
Still no progress for me as I'm still on vacation but will get back to it in a week or so!

@RIP Yeah, Ugla's 99'er was sweeet, real budget version. 5 skillers? No Infinity? No JMoD? Pure ghetto.
I also remember when DC and Marvel worked on their character. I've been obsessed with finding a +6 LS claw after I saw his readout. And what Marvel did with his Fishymancer, back in 1.11 Jesus that must have taken some patience. IIRC he said he did 61K LK runs. Not only that, he also had an eTomby, cubed from LK runes. Man this game makes me nostalgic 
@PhineasB Thanks man Great job with the compendium!
@ffs I am in the mist of building a twinked Fishymancer, just to see if I like the style. I don't quite have the items yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. Corpse Explosion just rocks! I always look forward to your updates Is the plan to do Baal runs?

Is the plan to do Baal runs?Phaedrus is another quarter of the way toward 97. Drops were solid for this stretch. The gear continues to improve, with a nice Ruby GC of Sustenance (30/33) dropping early on. This led to some charm shuffling, with 3 Ruby SCs with not-helpful secondary mods dropping out.
I had been reading through pally 99er write ups and realized that I may have been over-valuing FHR, so the charm reshuffle also led to dropping one FCR SC to see how things went. I didn’t notice a difference, so two vita SCs and a 7% MF SC swapped in, with a pTopaz replacing the Shael in the Shako, for 232 MF with the new set up.
This led to nice item drops. HHG (2os), Ghostflame, and the set Corona dropped before the reshuffle. Then Fleshripper, Nightwings, and Boneflame #2 over the last 15M or so after the charm shuffle.
For runes, we had an early Gul, then Ohm #3, and Ums #2 and 3 and Mal #2, which allowed a fourth CtA roll with some cubing up:
View attachment 8684
Slowly improving (+4 BO), I guess.
We’re about 6 hours shy of 97, so I am hoping to ping the level before next weekend. Pestilence will see some LK runs mixed in, so hoping for the nice rune luck to continue. Good luck to all and keep running!

@NamelessPenguin yeah I guess it’s not unlikely he’ll end up running Baal a lot, but I’ll try different things after some more farming and another level or two. So far he’s mostly running Pits which is good for now.
But once I get back to running I think I’ll focus on finishing the Sorc first, so he’ll have to wait a bit.

guys just a quick question about your approach to lk. I'm runing with amazon, still trying to have a good map.
So what runtimes can you expect with this char? (using harmony, playing HC).
I know I can do 20s runs with sorc, but that doesn't seem realistic expectations for a harmony amazon.
Edit: I'm currently running 3 chest map really close to the waypoint. I think that if I really push and don't open junk in the way I could have 30s runs (60s at 6 chest efficiency)

@Caralis IIRC @ffs was getting ~30s on his Necro with a really good map and no teleport but to be fair I don’t think he has any loading screen delays whatsoever. IMO 40-45s is definitely manageable with a decent map. There’s a great write up on LK somewhere around here.
On a side note, new PC is in and monitor will be in Tuesday + I’m off that day. Hoping to have everything setup by then so should be back at it with Sophie soon!

Yeah he has a great LK map, about 33-34s without teleport and 21-22s with Enigma & 125 FCR IIRC.
Generally I'd reroll a single campfire map, it's not worth it unless you want to keep a truly amazing other map. Don't know about loading times on other computers but I guess it's also worth noting that you can cut down time spent in menues by clicking "blindly", since the game reacts to it even if the screen is black. Takes some practice but it speeds things up a little bit.

Champion Phaedrus and Azrael the Defiance Desert Merc, Lvl 97 (pic)
Phaedrus uneventfully covered the last quarter level to ping 97. I figured it would be later in the week, but I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep, so CS runs it was
Finds for the last quarter level: Ist, Windforce #2 , and Mal #3 and Mal #4 (within 2 runs of each other). He also found Um #4 and Eaglehorn. Adding to the first three updates (here, here and here), the runes (Mal+) netted for level 96-97 were:
I am going to reroll the CS map for a 4-shrine map and test out Gripphon runs, 3-seal runs, and p8/p7 runs. Too bad, because I liked the boss density on this one, but it has only one shrine.
Looking at the numbers, I think p8/p7 may be the best bet if I can get XP shrines regularly. The seal bosses drop off pretty seriously for level 97. Diablo is more than Infector and Vizier (with de Seis added in, it’s ~20k more per run from Diablo/de Seis compared to the other two). So as long as it’s no more than twice as long it should net out more efficient, especially with XP shrines. But that’s why we test!
The other question is what to do with the merc. I still have defiance but was thinking about a Might merc to help take down de Seis a little faster when tele-stomping. At this point, I think I’ll just stick with Azrael though.
The other-other question is whether to stop picking up gems. My inclination is yes, it’s as likely to get the next skiller from drops (rerolling only increases the odds slightly) and the godly pally caster amulet is so very unlikely. Time to focus on speed, methinks!
Good luck to all the runners!

@PhineasB Congrats !!! Impressive. And yes, I'd focus on speed too.
@Pb_pal I did some testing with a Fissure Druid. My first impressions: AT works well, Nihl ... not really. Of course, this is only based on a few runs, so maybe you can make it work. Then again, I have 6 skillers on the character, as well as a faceted Ravenlore (full gear in spoiler below, the Ravenlore is only -10% EFR so could be improved upon). Not sure if you can count on that in an untwinked situation. A Phoenix shield would do wonders for this build, I'd guess, but I don't think you want to grind for that in LK ...
As for AT, it works well, although I wasn't super fast. Then again that could be a matter of adapting to the build. If you don't focus on drops, you could often cast a Fissure on a group and probably already move on, where the Fissure would kill most enemies and you save a lot of time. The character is very safe, with some 3600 life. Gotta love the combination of Oak and BO. Only annoying thing is that there's one FI monster type that can spawn in AT. They are breakable, but even then killing them is too slow to be worth it.
I know this is all rather vague, so if you want more details, just ask.

All of this. ^
Speaking from experience, the Summoner is a lot of fun, but he's been my favorite class from release. The main goal, of course, is 99, and *if* possible, completing the Trang'Oul set simply for the fun of it (wouldn't mind the damage reduction one bit as well
). I only have the gloves for now, but I'm staying hopeful.Currently using an Oath after all the army has been summoned for the Heart of Wolverine. With a low-req enough base and careful placement of the summon, repairing the axe it's been built on isn't that expensive and helps with killing speed until I have a better option. Olena (my hireling) is using Harmony (boy, can that army book it now!) and Duress (while not ideal for ranged, it still procs blood loss and CB often enough to matter). Looking for a helm that amps the CB chance, but no luck so far on that end.
Still debating how far up I'm taking CE . Maxed RSkels , SMast and SMages, and from the curses/bone spells I took, I should have ~ enough points by the end to max another skill and have another at 10 (most likely Golem Mastery and CE, but I'll experiment with both at a certain level to see if a respec is needed).
Onward!
@T72on1 - Awesome! Thanks for the info, that's hugely helpful. I'm not too worried about uber speed or anything, as I'm trying to keep my mindset to be slower but safer (Klaus is HC, after all!). I'm not counting on a Ravenlore, but I think Phoenix should be in the long-term plans even if I don't specifically grind for it. The safety aspect you mention is very encouraging, since I don't trust myself with a HC char under 3k life for the long haul. 
The more I think about it, the more Nihl seems a bit sketchy in general since Fissure is not a very pointed attack, and I don't want to tele to him for Firestorm. He moves around a lot so Volcano is out. I'm going to test Diablo runs if and when I get there, and I have a loose feeling that's the direction I'll go. Fissure druids just aren't great boss killers afaik, so we'll see what happens there.
@PhineasB - My suggestions: Might merc, don't pick up gems. Curious to see your numbers with full runs vs Gripp runs, I know it was discussed before but as we've learned the "rules" are very malleable for each individual character/player. Congrats on the progress, quite impressive!
--
First set of 1000 LK runs done!
Klaus did about 50 runs of single-campfire running to get kickstarted before biting the bullet and rolling himself a 2-campfire map that is decent for non-teleport running. After that he was off to the races.
Run 95 - Ko
Here he quickly made a Harmony, giving him runtimes of 40-50 seconds depending on picking/monster-dodging. He promptly ALMOST joined Stevesy in the Great Beyond:
This prompted me to make sure he always casts Oak before running heading out
Run 187 - Ohm
Run 259 - Pul
Run 417 - Mal (this leaves Klaus an Ist away from CtA)
Run 457 - Vex (shortly after he found another Ko, we now have the runes for HoTo, just no base)
Run 577 - Gul
Run 727 - Mal
Not bad for a starting set despite the lack of a Sur. Was nice to flesh out some of those mid-high runes for the 'utility' RWs so early on.
Skillers found:
- Paladin Combat Skills (with 22% gold find)
- Warcries
- Shadow Disciplines
- Elemental (!) Right at the end too, run ~950. Certainly wasn't expecting one so soon!
Other finds:
- A few Lems, so a Treachery was made for the merc
- 10%LR/6%MF SC (awesome!)
- plain SC of Vita (20), a couple of 19s as well.
- plain 7%MF sc
- 10%PR/6%MF SC (cool!)
- Echoing (3 Warcries) amulet of Luck (32%MF) --> future Singer maybe?
