locked21 wrote:what build can be good to farm SU in SP untwinked?

broadside sin, needs some crafts to be good in duncraig and TA for SU farming
throwing barb, can be a bit grindy untwinked aswell
bow druid, can be grindy untwinked
summoner barb, easy to gear with mf
totem necro, can focus also a bit more on mf, easy to gearing for earlie farming
sorc combo builds: fire/cold, or psn/cold, light/cold or with oskills pets and without cold tree pets
blood or thunder zone, amazon spellcaster + pets
java with fotress and tower procchains, full tu6 gear and dex crafts ( tu6 glaive, tu6 splintmail, tu6 setzshield, rest gear focus on dr% and dex crafts, if u like tu6 heavy belt aswell for SoR procs )
Pouncezon can be grindy to get it work, dunno hows it in 2k17, can be glass cannon at start and frustrating to get it work, and has many options too on gear
bowzon, seems also grindy

a very fun build to grind, but outdated maybe, or atleast not so strong as it was
reanimator paladin can farm untwinked, with some mix of gear, focusd on minion hp and dmg, but its crap now only 3 reanimates can be made, get 3 stone hammers from mausoleum, Lo Rune in shield for Blood Aura, tu6 angel star, rha helmet, or rare helmet, craftet can be also, but rare SA drops not allday now on earlie farming spots, ath boots, or magical craft with tainted blessind, but for the prozess switch some minion gear to pre spawn the minions, tree is unholy taindet blood with hoplite minions aswell, i had last patch hoplites with 34k hp and very high % avoid, also Auhe as shield for getting Zakarum Reanimates, void flail and taha shield+charms for area slow with wyrd, rha helmet for eagle stance and belly of the beast for armour, can be jitans or Nih for start aswell, filled all up with stat/LL jewels and switch minion gear for presummoning, merc a3 bloodmage with quor shield and a honorofic 6s crystal sword with fc,spell%, 90fcr sword and fill everything up with fc/spell and mf, hidden shrine blessings on merc, one of the very fun chars, also nerfed a bit hard i guess, the zakarum had overflow hp, had to put gear out some pieces at summoning them, that the not die to 1 hit, but the never died again then, myself had like 80%dr and 20k hp + a ton of hp meatshield

Hi guys, Im a totally newbie and currently playing a fire/lightning sorc, i used to get flamestrike for bosses, but now im reaching Destruction, flamestrike feels a bit off, is flamefront or pyroblast better ?

what is the max minion resist? are they affected the same as players by changes in difficulty?

Hi,
are there some basic crafting guides or something?
this is my first time playing mxl2k7.
playing a totemancer lvl83 and atm i am progressing through a4 terror, i think i should learn how to craft specific items.
nothing like uptiering or orbing, something like craft new items with random rolls and so on..
pls help

Cube a crafting shrine (Eerie, Ornate, Magical, etc, whichever you want) with a rare sacred item. It will create a crafted item with Double Mystic Orb effects. You can continue to recraft the same one, so you dont need to find a new rare sacred every time.

hi Kurokei,
F/L sorc, try getting an merc from act 5 in hatred, give him an tu6 flameberg and tu6 splint mail or some rare sa that drop on the way, you can also make a kra rw armour and give him a yul rw helmet, rest of the gear is optional at this point, he will tank for you allot with these items, you can give him later a better weapon ofc and some resis in some places of gear and LL

did you skill blade spirits ? they not very good, but helping at some point, cuz you have no ice tree pets there ( ice elementals )

try getting a rare sacred sorc armour and craft acied fiends oskill on it, it will help at some areas to crowd control better, maybe for brc and trials and stuff

option also will be respec to cold + ( fire, light or psn )

pyrablast is very good now, you can get mana back every 5 casts, around, when your mana goes down, when you spamming it, just use mana sweep too

fire dance is also nice, but comes in timer problems with mana sweep when area spamming pyrablast

cold / fire tree is very nice for more focussing on minions + blade spirits + acid fiends oskill from crafted armour

i personally do not like the fire / light combo

abyss has also a strong area and boss ability, but you get also the freezing pets in this tree

Question about the Challenge 1, where you have kill the 3 priestess to boost the Elemental Prism.
Do i have to kill them in the same order as shown in the Guide? The Fire first, Ice second and Thunder last? Or, it doesn't matter which one i kill first?

Thanks

It doesn't matter. They all have a Level 50 maximum requirement. That order was probably just listed because it was the easiest to get to through the map.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong or it's intentional. but at 28 base level of mind flay should I not have 4 lasers?

It's a synergy with the Slayer skill. For every 9 levels of Slayer, you'll get +1 Mind flay beam.
