The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, The Saviours of Sanctuary Rise Anew

[Grisu]

Similar update as @PhineasB had:

After finally finding that elusive SoJ, Aviendha, the HC Blizzard sorceress, made it from 95.15 to 96.45. I then added a few hours and now Aviendha just hit level 97. I will be running CS till 98, then fight Hell Ancients and then I'll see what I'll do. Depends on whether I want to MF on my way or not, I guess

Do you guys really count every S/U you find? After 300 NM Andy runs alone that would be over 7000...or just the elite S/U?

Also I forgot again what E/S means...have to google later, I guess. (Was ist S&E to avoid death?)

I'm honestly surprised to have another update for Hartwig so soon after claiming it would be awhile and for that I apologize haha. I spent several days this last week working on travincal and pits with a little meph farming here and there as I'm still missing arreat's face and laying of hands. Kill speeds were slow and despite being absolutely sick of LK over the last month I kinda missed setting up a show and just zoning out doing LK runs so I decided to reload a good map and found a pretty solid 30 second map which, with 6 second load times on D2R for my PC setup, is almost a perfect map. On run 61 of my first session on that new map I found a Sur! Then even luckier, I found a second Sur only 22 runs later on number 83. That was so insane to me!

I total about 4300 runs now and almost every high rune followed a 1000 run dry streak. I forgot the dry stretches real quick after finding 2 Sur in less than a hundred runs though. Now Hartwig has dual grief and Enigma and is completely ready to tackle anything!

Here's a video of cubing runes and finally making the enigma:

EDIT:
I feel bad making another post but I gotta share this luck from today so I'll just tag it on here.
Holy crap this has been a golden day! I decided to farm soj for anni before i got into leveling in earnest and settled into a nm map for andy. My runs were averaging 27 seconds with the new enigma and I expected 1000+ runs before I found one but on run 167 I dropped one! I was a little scared to tackle Diablo Clone with a WW Barb as it is my first time doing so but I had stormshield and string of ears as well as good resists so there wasn't much risk of dying and he fell easily.
My anni rolled extremely average but with how quickly I was able to farm it, it's beautiful!

This is awesome. I've never owned an Annihilus in my life so I'm hopeful that it's in the cards for Ananiel. I won't have access to respecs (saving the Ancients for 98) so swapping between FoH and Smite isn't an option for me, which means I'm not sure how doable Uber Diablo will be. Having a torch would be fantastic as well obviously, but I'm fairly certain ubers will be all but impossible for this character without respeccing to smite. Congrats on your Annihilus!

Any paladin with 1 point in smite and the basic smiter gear can kill both Diablo Clone and the Pandemonium event without much trouble. It's easier if you have a point in fanaticism but you can do it without, and a high level conviction is nice to cancel out Mephisto's. You need:

• Lifetap (Dracs or a wand on swap)
• Crushing Blow (Black and Goblin Toes)
• Open Wounds (dracs, crafted belt, gore riders)
• Stacked Resistance and/or Lightning resist (4 pdiamond shield with resists is usually good enough. Tgods makes it easy). For Lilith you want some extra poison resists

I bet you can even kill Diablo clone with a good enough foh, though smite will be much faster.

@Dazliare I agree with @AntiRush, you can get both, even without a respec. DiabloClone isn't hard at /players1, you can manage that with whatever your current setup is.

For Ubers you persumably already have 1pt in Smite as you will have HS. If your Conviction is higher than lvl20 you will cancel out Meph's conviction, so resists should be easy. As IAS can be hard to come by with limited sockets, I would probably put 4 shaels (or one Shael and 3x IAS Jewels) and 2x Um in a Phase Blade, then use Goblin Toes, Guillaume's and Duress. That would get you a 6 frame Smite with 75% CB. Draculs for gloves ofc.

I also suggest to run the Ubers after you have just dinged a level, as death is likely.

 

[BBS_Agonistes]

Nice to see you around, @Dazliare ... I remember you from my brief SPF stint back in the day. I agree with others: Diablo clone is pretty easy and not so much to worry about. Ubers are another story, but definitely doable with 1 pt in Smite.

I thought I would mention @ffs has a video of running Ubers with an FoH build in HC.

As others have said, as long as you have a point in Smite, some CB, life tap, and resists/conviction aura over Mephisto's, then you should be good even with very discount gear.

[Dazliare]

@Dazliare I agree with @AntiRush, you can get both, even without a respec. DiabloClone isn't hard at /players1, you can manage that with whatever your current setup is.

For Ubers you persumably already have 1pt in Smite as you will have HS. If your Conviction is higher than lvl20 you will cancel out Meph's conviction, so resists should be easy. As IAS can be hard to come by with limited sockets, I would probably put 4 shaels (or one Shael and 3x IAS Jewels) and 2x Um in a Phase Blade, then use Goblin Toes, Guillaume's and Duress. That would get you a 6 frame Smite with 75% CB. Draculs for gloves ofc.

I also suggest to run the Ubers after you have just dinged a level, as death is likely.

Thank you so much for this advice! Sounds like ubers is possible then I'll have probably 25 conviction at that point so we're good there. I don't have any of the other gear yet but I'm still quite early on in my journey

Finding the Balance 3 took me from just over 96 to 96.8. I just hit 97 and now Villanelle is my highest levelled character to date.



The big find was the Stormlash just before FTB3. It is my ideal weapon for this build and I never dared hope for this drop - I mean this is quite a common last 5 item in peoples Grails. Slow is great for stopping Baal moving around and keeping him in the traps, which Astreon's has but is missing on the Stormlash, so I went looking for Medusa's Gaze in The Pit. I found one afer about 3h and then went back to Baal.

The only real gear improvements now would be a Cham for the Shako, which would free up the Ravenfrost ring slot, and one more trap skiller. I still haven't found Gore Riders, but I don't really need them. They will be stronger than the War Travellers, but I will drop from 300ish to 260ish MF.

Current Gear:

Kick Switch: Stormlash (Vex) & Medusa's Gaze (-15% req, 26% LR Jewel)
Trap Switch: CtA & Spirit

Helm: Harlequin Crest (PTopaz)
Armour: Enigma
Belt: Arachnid Mesh
Boots: Upped War Traveller
Gloves: Dracul's Grasp
Jewelery: 10FCR / 20% RA / +2 Assassin Amulet, Ravenfrost, SoJ
5 Trap Skillers, Gheeds, Annihilus, Torch, SCs with resists & MF

Merc: Tal's HC, Fortitude, Infinity Thresher.


Other Finds: Griffon's Eye, Sur rune. Previous best rune during Baal runs was Pul.

I'm going to take a small break to Mat & Pat some other characters before I go back to Baal. I have about 500 PGs for re-rolling too.

 

[Dazliare]

That's what we like to see

 

[maxicek]

Anyone got a link / info for somone who has done Ubers with a Sorc?

I'm taking a break from Baal, so I decided to make an untwinked Blizz Sorc in D2R, mainly so I had a character suitable for MF & RF Tourneys. I want to keep her as a potential UT99er, but I will wait before she goes into the table.

I started as a fire sorc, possibly I should have been more patient and gone Blizz from the beginning. I'm thinking she will be running ATs for a long time as her main job is MF. I guess with a sorc I am saving Ancients to 98, so that gives me three respecs total.

As I see it I need:

• Blizz for Farming
• Build for key running / Ubers
• Final build for Nihilathak

If I can do key running and Ubers with only Blizz, that is ideal. I'm thinking that even CIs (Countess) should be doable with a strong merc (Fortitude + Infinity).

 

[ffs]

I remember seeing some weird melee Sorc builds that could easily solo Ubers, but probably hard to do with any sort of "normal" Sorc build. Perhaps Infinity Merc can be kept alive with Life Tap wand and you can clear minions so he attacks the Ubers?

In the end though, I wouldn’t worry too much about saving Ancients for 98. In the grand scheme of things it’s only a small amount of time saved.

What level is the Sorc? If you still have a bunch of skill points/levels left, I’d go Blizzball build as that can take down everything and is a very strong AT runner in its own right, given you want to run AT primarily.

 

[maxicek]

Only level 20 at the moment. I was also thinking about Blizzball.

I have read about Firewall sorcs. Seems the casting delay removal means it is a bit broken in D2R. I may start putting points there and have a play with that.

Good advice on the Ancients, it certainly opens things up for trying different builds more.

 

[PhineasB]

I agree with @ffs on Ancients--best to wait as long as possible, but I don't view it as essential to save. And you can also take Ancients at start of 98 (Baal at p1 is fairly easy even with pure Blizz). An essence should drop at p3 Baal within a dozen or so runs, and then respec to final Nihl build with the Ancients bonus at start of 98.

 

[HanShotFirst]

Anyone got a link / info for somone who has done Ubers with a Sorc?

Well, I remember this one guy who posted about doing it in an IFT thread (of all places), here, and here, before getting around to posting about what gear and skills he was using here. (Some people can be so disorganized ).

tldr: I think the most budget friendly way of doing Ubers with a Sorceress is by respecing mid battle with a Token of Absolution (to get around the Ubers varied immunities). This would of course rule out saving Ancients ...

Also, I believe Firewall was fixed a couple months after D2R launched and hasn't been anything special ever since.

Lastly. Look! I'm not dead! But I have been battling tendonitis (or as I like to think of it: being cursed in real life with Iron Maiden ... at least as far as gaming goes). First it was my right arm. Then my left arm got in on it too. Using a mouse, a controller, a vertical mouse, left arm, right arm ... nothing was working. So, I haven't played D2 since my failed attempt at the MFO. But things do seem to be getting better ... super slowly. I might try playing a less clicky game soon, and if that goes well, I am still planning to return to Das-Omen and get her the rest of the way through clvl 98! ... you know, at a super responsible rate of play . Fingers crossed.

 

[maxicek]

Yes, I read a bit more yesterday and it seems firewall builds are now obsolete. The trouble is now with Patch 2.5, sunder charms feature heavily in any build guides you may find.

I did find this from 2008, but uses a lot of facets, so there is a problem with the amount of sockets un-twinked.
In German / Google Translate

Your approach is interesting @HanShotFirst - Trouble is I would need about 20 tokens for a high chance of a sorc torch.

Anyway, I just burned my first respec to go full blizz. That build will be fine for now, A5 Normal next. By the time I get to Hell and have enough equipment for Ubers, who knows what will be in D2R single player. I mean, I had to respec my Assassin because they changed the skill synergies mid-way through.

 

[AntiRush]

The "1 to Ubers" speedruns have picked up popularity recently, and the sorceress is by far the fastest. The high level plan is a harmony bow and revive Urdars with crushing blow:

Hmm, the Harmony Revive strategy is actually very nice for untwinked tournaments, too. Might make Hell Ancients a lot easier to beat for some builds...

I wonder if you could solo Uber Tristram with a pure Blizzard without respecs if you can amass enough Maulers for all the bosses...

 

[maxicek]

Great video @AntiRush , interesting idea. I'm not sure if I can really work out exactly what the strategy is for each boss from the video though.

I wonder if a werebear is viable at 8FPA? 120IAS PB + Guillaumes, Goblin Toe, Duress, Dracul's, Angelics. Demon Limb for Enchant. Blizz and static too.

 

[ffs]

Yeah that should work actually. The last couple of life % will take quite a bit with Shael'ed PB but with life tap wand and dracul it should be doable. 8 fpa is OK I’d say, Smite isn't much quicker at 6 fpa.
