Damage isn’t bad, +3 to skills, +ias, very fast attack speed, and 33% crushing blow. I’m using Heaven’s Light with a +35% ED jewel in it.

Now my weapon isn’t ideal but I don’t have grief runes yet so I’m making due with what I’ve got. Defense is pitiful at like 48 but I still have almost 10k defense with holy shield up and it’s got a super high chance to block so I have 75% block chance. My shield is a spirit made with a herald base with +27 all res. Ring 1 is raven frost and 2 is dwarf star (don’t have wisp, soj, or bk but have the rest) Head- I’m experimenting with Guil face for the huge damage and crown of thieves for the FR and the life steal.Īmulet is either my rare +2 to combat a bunch of mana stuff some life and +15 all Rez or high lordsĬhest is always guardian Angel with an Um in it (good defense, blocking, +skill, 15 all res with the um, and let’s me bump those resistances from 75->90)įor gloves it’s between laying of hands or a rare set with 20% ias, 8% crushing, 1% life steal (lol so low why bother) and then some dex and streīelt is usually string of ears for Chaos and thunder gods for Baal (fuck those little lightning ghost) My resistances are 90% fire, 95% light, 89% cold, and 41% poison. I was hoping to lay out my gear and maybe someone could point me in a direction to fix some things. I’m level 84 which isn’t super high but it’s more than enough for the amount of skill points I need. So my first thought is it must be my gear. For Baal runs? Yeah I haven’t made it to WSK3 yet let alone the throne room. I’ve done 3 chaos runs as zeal and while it’s pretty fun, if I get a few mobs on me I’m probably going down and it’s a tiny bit slower. The problem is I feel super squishy and die much more often, which is weird because I have more defense, the same resistances, slightly better block, and I can now life steal when I hit stuff. I went with a zeal build because it’s much more effective than smite especially when there are multiple mobs and it’s single target dmg is supposed to be insane. This led me to try a new build huzzah how fun. For baal runs it was easy as pie and the lightning mobs didn’t do shit to me, just there was no way to get past the Act 2 mobs in Baal’s event.

The only annoyance is how dependent the positioning is, because it sucks to be tossing hammers at a mob running around and it just dodged them all. My resistances are godly though so I don’t die really. So not the worlds fastest clears, but not slow either. Lots of decent stuff but no Enigmas or any rune words higher than spirit for any of my characters. Always tinkering and experimenting.Īs a hammerdin I could farm chaos pretty decently.

One of the things a full blizzard sorc can’t do that I’d like to be able to do efficiently is run chaos sanctuary and Baal on hell to get tokens of absolution, because I like switching up my builds for fun. I have an 85 sorc with decent gear and 600mf while still having good kill speed so farming hell Mephisto is a breeze and I’ve accumulated a decent amount of wealth to be able to build other characters. So like everyone and their mother, I leveled a Paladin for a hammerdin in D2R.
