Ah, ok. Thanks suchbalance.

Uhh, no. But seriously? It takes less than 2 seconds to type /nopickup. Just get it into muscle memory, and you won't even need to think about it.

Hey....just curious...has anyone ever done a meteor shower build? I picked up a
Ras Algethi
Ras Algethi
Ring

Required Level: 100
Item Level: 105
2% Chance to cast level 44 Magic Missiles on Melee Attack
+(40 to 50) Spell Focus
+(15 to 20)% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage

-10% to Enemy Fire Resistance
Physical Resist -2%
a little while ago and I've been having grand visions of a world bathed in fire! :shock: Mwahaha! I mean just waltzing around, casually covering the screen in meteors--what could be cooler? But seriously, has it been done before and is it a viable build?

yes , in 2007 , while playing median 2008 , it used to be a main spell in the sorceress tree (along with Apocalypse) :)

it has indeed a huge aoe and decent damage , but nowadays it is just outshined by too many other options (spaming Cataclysm for example - it also shoots nice fire balls and has no ND ) .

you may try 2x
Ras Algethi
Ras Algethi
Ring

Required Level: 100
Item Level: 105
2% Chance to cast level 44 Magic Missiles on Melee Attack
+(40 to 50) Spell Focus
+(15 to 20)% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(15 to 20)% to Fire Spell Damage
-10% to Enemy Fire Resistance
Physical Resist -2%
rings along with a rare/crafted helm (up to 21 more points into the skill) . if using a sorceress you may go for
Leah's Vision
Leah's Vision
Jared's Stone (Sacred)

One-Hand Damage: 40 to 43
(Sorceress Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Dexterity: 242
Item Level: 105
Dexterity Damage Bonus: (0.11 per Dexterity)%
+1% Physical/Magic Spell Damage per 20 Vitality
+(5 to 7) to Sorceress Skill Levels
+20% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(40 to 50) to Death Ripple
Regenerate Mana +25%
Elemental Resists -20%
3% Reanimate as: Random Monster
Socketed (3)
, or
Dragonspine
if you go as a necro .

it needs those extra points to be viable in end game .

people usualy like spaming a spell if going as a caster . spells that have a timer /big next delay are usually skiped .

you may try it for fun , i'm sure there are a few builds to suit that spell , even if you use it as a secondary/support spell . it doesn't have to be mainstream , you always get more fun with non-mainsteram builds .

Good luck ! :D

Is there a list of descriptions of all the oskills anywhere? I'm wondering what totembound guardian does--among others?

median 2008 , it used to be [u]a main spell in the sorceress tree


no kidding? i vaguely remember meteor being in there--didn't realize meteor swarm was there too. median has changed a great deal over the years, huh?

people usualy like spaming a spell if going as a caster . spells that have a timer /big next delay are usually skiped .


yea, i can understand the no ND thing. kinda shitty to have to wait on a spell timer when playing as a caster.

but there's just a definite cool factor to covering the screen in meteors :mrgreen:

don't think i can get to it anytime soon, though. :(

too busy with lazydin main and summoner necro to farm toraja...probably gonna have to make a pouncezon or something as a dedicated farmer, too. not to mention all the other fun looking builds in median...

good to know it's viable tho
