And so it begins for TooMuchEnergy, my new entry in this fantastic journey. Man, it feels good to be back. I blame you all for this 
.
TooMuchEnergy will be a CB/ES Sorc. I know I talked about a CB/ES/Nova variant at first, but after doing a bit more reading and research, the plan for now is to go full CB, so I can also focus on the ES component as much as possible.
For now the plan is to stick to this build all the way to 99, doing Nihl runs from 98 to 99 by self-wielding Infinity and skipping the merc alltogether. Obviously we'll have to see if I ever get that far, and if so, if that plan turns out to be a good one. The main point is that I'm fully planning on staying away from Lightning and CL, and stay CB all the way.
Before that I want to go through normal and nightmare as fast as possible, leveling up on Eldritch and/or Pindle. For now the plan in Hell is to get to AS first, gain some levels there (mainly killing the Ghosts) and keep my fingers crossed for some juicy runes or other good drops while doing so. Then proceed to Eldritch / Pindle and further level there if I can kill them fast enough, followed by LK runs. If my killing speed against those isn't good enough (which I doubt), it'll be the other way around. After that it's probably Pits, but I might switch things up if I feel like it. Unlike with Neverland, efficiency won't be the main focus for TooMuchEnergy, so I'll mainly do whatever I feel like doing.
I started TooMuchEnergy yesterday evening at 9 pm. Of course I forgot to take a screenshot of that first moment, as I was too eager to start out.
Let me tell you ... I enjoyed those first two hours so much !! But really everything about it. Starting out fresh is always exciting, because every drop matters, and can be an improvement. But often this is a bit negated by the fact that early going is tough. Especially for casters, if they only get their main skills at later levels, or because they are struggling with mana. This wasn't the case for TooMuchEnergy. Well, to be more precise, I had to be somewhat careful with mana initially, and there was quite some whacking with the staff involved early on. But it wasn't too bad really. I got some items with +mana quite fast, got a 3os body armor and 3 chipped sapphires early on, with 2 more and a flawed one in early act 2, which helped a lot. I never expected I'd do so at all on any character, but I also invested some points in Energy already, figuring that I'd do so at some point anyway as ES Sorc, so I might as well do it early on to have some more mana.
And CB ... it's a killer right from the start. I have played a CB Sorc before, but I had forgotten just how strong and how much fun the skill is. Not only because it's powerful, but also because it's visually very pleasing to send all those sparks out.
I mainly played on /p1 and /p3. Did some reruns of bosses / areas, but not much. Three Countess runs only netted me 2x Tir and a Nef, so no Stealth or Zephyr yet. I'm currently still wielding a Staff (+1 CB/+1Static), but if I find somewhat of a good orb or some more Tir runes, I'll probably switch to a weapon shield setup, focused on those Tir runes, so I have plenty of MPK to even further negate any mana problems.
No really good drops so far, but like I said, upgrades are always around the corner. One S/U: Arctic belt. Definitely not the worst item to find.
Here's two pics of TooMuchEnergy in action:

As you can see, I had to use some pots, but other than that the fight was really easy: Static x4, few times CB, dead.

Too late to get Radament in the screen, but I figured I'd take one anyway.
This is where I stopped for the evening. Two hours in, level 17, Radament killed.
