You need a strong ass bow, dual leech and spam guided arrows and multi shots.

While working at a coffee shop years ago I would doodle out build ideas on sticky notes during down time by like drawing out the armor slot boxes and then writing in the names of items.

Nice I'm going to dig up my old Paladin save to see if it still works. IIRC I stopped at the three Barbarian bosses at the end of Act 5 Hell because I didn't distribute my skills properly.

To put something in a socket just drag and click the jewel/gem/rune on top of it.

If you mean adding sockets to things theres a quest reward that can do it.

Ok so question.

if I can find a non socketed crystal/broad sword from cows, and socket it using that quest. Why not do the same for armor?

is the only reason that the quest isnt repeatable?

just curious

I'm starting to consider getting this now, between people on here making me want to play again and my brother raving about it. What are some good builds that are cheap? (like good with runewords that have easy to farm runes). Preferably ones that don't get fucked by hell enemies with immunities. I was never really great back in the day and only really did well with ww barb and orb/mf sorc.

He probably has switch version so we wouldn't be able to play. Can't play d3 together for same reason

mostly looking to solo anyway. Always preferred that. Just want to have an idea ahead of time of which build I want to play and cost effectiveness is the main factor for me lol

Keep in mind the shared stash. Your first character might be rough but if you keep some things aside for your follow up characters it will make things more efficient.

went ahead and bought. There is a pretty easy necro build that can apparently run naked so I'm going to start with that. Never played necro much originally either so it should be a fun something new. Gonna try controller mode. Hopefully my controller doesn't get wonky (left trigger gets weird sometimes and left thumbstick sometimes drifts. Gets really bad at times but then will be fine for days. I don't get why and I took it apart and didn't see any issues internally). I am hoping I don't have to buy a new one and I am not really a fan of keyboard and mouse without skillbar

I forgot how annoying the random damage is on a lightning zon. sometimes I 1 shot a monster and other times it takes 5 pokes to kill the same one

I did just find a 3 socket superior long battle bow right in the beginning of act 4 though.

A Summon/Fishymancer is definitely one of the better builds that doesn't get screwed by Hell Immunities. Very few enemies are Physical Immune, and Corpse Explosion does 50% Fire/Physical damage, so you're well covered.

You won't be flying through Hell like you would with a well geared Hammerdin / Light Sorc / Javazon, but it certainly stands alongside other poorly geared builds.

I posted my take on the build in another topic:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/79675107/958425714

Aside from that, you have:

  • The cookie cutter Hammerdin. Like Physical, few enemies resist Magic damage.
  • The Wind Druid, which primarily uses Physical damage.
  • The Trap Assassin. While there are many Lightning Immunes in Hell, the Assassin has tools to deal with them: Fire Blast and Death Sentry (which triggers Corpse Explosions).

Are you trying to solo? Might be undergeared or low level.

team play makes it much easier, but you can def die a lot
Yeah, there's no lobbies on ps4 so you're forced to play solo. I'm level 62 on my meteorb sorc, stepped out into the blood moor on Hell and couldn't even kill a mob. I got spirit sword, lore helm, ancients pledge shield, caster amulet I made. Merc dies too fast.

Already pissed off at this game and wondering how the fuck I had the patience for it 20 years ago. Only at blood raven. I did get some unique club that hits really hard for this early. My skeletons are dying too fast against these bullshit mobs though. Maybe I should put the next few points into mastery instead of the skill itself. Running out of corpses to make them with is annoying.

I might do that idk, my meteorb sorc sucks major balls on hell difficulty. Just got to act 2 and my god it's impossible to advance with all the immunes that don't say what element their immune to. Merc is fucking useless, ran out of gold from dying and reviving him. Think I'm done.

yep, there is a reason everyone goes hdin. hell is really challenging people forget just how hard it is wihtout using meta stuff. you arnet supposed to just be able to do it until you get gear unless you are one of 6 classes strong with out gear such as hdin

Yeah but for hdin to be great you need enigma. Until then you gotta farm with sorc because teleport is too valuable.

Without good gear, Cold (Blizzard) is generally the best. That allows you to do Mephi (via the moat trick if necessary) and the Ancient Tunnels at the least.

With good gear (an Infinity merc is mandatory), a Light Sorc is much more versatile (and powerful with top-end gear).

Here's what I did. I made a Fire Pally, joined Trist runs and got to level 14.

Did some Act 1 quests and bought a Holy Fire scepter from store to help my damage out. Got some trash gear that helps defense, attack rating and whatever. Found any 2os armor and 3os pally shield, did some Countess runs and made a Stealth Runeword and Ancient's Pledge. At this point I am hella tanky for normal act1 and 2 and I do decent damage without worrying about always out of mana. If I feel I am not geared enough then I simply do some Andy runs until she drop a decent helms, rings, boots or whatever for my level.

Act 2 should be simple as well in solo. Should clear everything out as you level and get stronger with Holy Fire. Do Tomb runs until you get to level 24.

Same thing with Act 3. You might need help with Travs and Meph at this point because those mother fuckers are strong.

Act 4, if you can do some Chaos runs with others until you're stronger and then you should be able to kill Diablo.

Act 5, Frigid Highlands should be easy and score you easy exp until you get to the WP. From there, do some Shenk runs until you get strong enough to kill Ancients. And then do Baal runs until 50 if you want.

At this point you can now do cows which can make a Spirit sword or Insight and you can respec into Hammerdin to be stronger and better clear things out.

Agreed, although I am trying to survive Hell with a Blizzard-Fireball hybrid. Shame that Infinity is expensive to make, and near impossible if you're doing self-found characters only.
