Xbow Necromancer
Lucked out and
for some reason people are nice asf on TSW...
... Wolf Stance is <3
I have the belt/head/armor. Using belt(instead of Deadfall) and armor(instead of silks or the studded leather w 70ish res) and yea... wolf is AWESOME. Hell... aside from other bonuses just being able to move fast is great. Get Zakarums. Any combo u can at first. But hands/boots is best.

You can definitely go beyond 200% ED using Jah runes (or other ED runes). MO a weapon to 200% ED, then socket Jah runes.

Does it mean I dont need more than 200%ed on my weapon?
It means 200% ED is the softcap. You can't go above it with MOs.
Socketables will break this softcap tho and that's why you wanna first MO to/close to 200% ED and then dunk Jahs in it.

Best way to make Tartarus, would it be this way:
1. Make a superior xbow with +%ED and AR (oil of renewal)
2. MO it to 200%ED
3. Put ED crafted jewels
4. Socket Jah runes
I'm not clear about a few things (e.g. can the jewels take it above 200% ED?). I found a rw making guide via Google but it seems really old and some of the things mentioned don't seem to exist any more.
P.S. Is Tartarus good enough that I don't have to worry about shrine crafting? I find it boring and frustrating sitting in town doing that - and I don't have enough base stingers now anyway.
Or Achilios set?

Tartarus is a runeword and there are no ED crafted jewels. Hence the best way is:
Renewal + Lucky a Stinger until high ED% (45+) and preferably AR% (higher better)
MO it with ED as much as your level allows (remember that Yul is a lvl 100 rune so you should act as if the item is lvl 100 requirement when MOing)
Dunk 5 decent jewels in it (either crafted or

It's good enough to carry you till you get the SU/etc ones, so no need to craft if you dislike it.
So, I found this guide and decided to try it out. There were some early embarassments, but once I got Widowmaker the latter half of Normal and most of Nightmare was smooth sailing. Then I hit Baal and only won by the skin of my teeth, revealing that my gear is pretty bad, and I'm not sure how to upgrade it. I'm using

...I suppose I could attempt to craft a Tartarus crossbow, if I can find a decent base item.
Baal could have been an AR problem. Try using TU4 LIght Gauntlets on bosses. The -def helps a lot.
Try using a TU4 Diadem with Starkiller (and 6x Jah it if you haven't yet).
As for jewelcrafting, you only need 1 rune (the recipe doesn't consume it). I'm assuming you meant jewels?
I'm comfortably doing 120 maps with Starkiller only. I haven't the shrines to spend on crafting nor have I tried making a Tartarus bow yet.

The problem I was having wasn't hitting him, but the fact that my minions seemed to die instantly upon entering melee and that he did massive damage even though all my elemental resistances are above 75% (magic and phys are at zero). My hit change was about sixty/seventy percent, though, so it might have helped. Mind, does Baal drop anything that doesn't drop from Mephisto and Diablo, or K3K? Because if he doesn't, I don't think I'd care to go through that again.

As for jewelcrafting... huh, I got into my head that crafting a jewel would consume the rune along with the arcane shards. Good to know that it doesn't.

I did all 115 ubers with it, and many 120, and ran Dunc, Teganze and Triune with it for farming.
Baal in nightmare is also annoying because of the constant mana drain, I felt it was more a challenge than several of the early ubers, with the same gear.
Don't bother farming him, you will find better drops in hell. The first SUs are coming in A2 hell.
Until you find those needed SUs, spend all that unused gold and Mo your TUs all the way to your level, that should also help.
