Im thinking on a viable farmer

Wolf Druid and Melee Sorc have a very good killspeed now.


Im thinking about running Melee Sorc, do you think the buffs make up for losing Khawy?

From what I can see without having played yet, I'd say no. Stormblast was the best single-target skill a Melee Sorc had access to. The damage buffs will be nice for general play/farming, but the loss of Stormblast will make some boss fights tougher--specifically Astrogha, Al'Diabalos, some Uldy stages, etc. I suspect Moonstrike will play a bigger role as an actual attack rather than just a buff, and you'll likely need to drop Baneblade more often to use spells for other things (e.g. Uldy stages). Don't get me wrong, Melee Sorc will still be good, she just won't be as glorious.

He was asking for a viable farmer in his previous post so it's a Yes if he plays Melee Sorc for farming purpose :D

"Farmer" is a generic term that can mean many things--SU/Set farmer, Charm farmer, etc. Since he wasn't specific, I covered both bases with my response. Not just for him, but for anyone else who might wonder about Melee Sorc's capabilities now. nbd. :)

Edit:
The "no" part of my response applied specifically to the question of whether the new buffs make up for the loss of Stormblast, which I don't think they will.

I got this error when running Median XL. Well, I follow the steps in Join section in the forum, get Diablo 1.13, multiplayer.rar, Median 1.2 and paste and all, but I got this error after making a new room on TSW server. As you can see from the image, it happens when the game is loading into act1. I don't know how to fix this. Please help!

So I look around the forum and try this by add and exclusion to my Diablo II folder but things still the same. Maybe I should restart the computer or disable it while playing.
