[HU] Hell Unleashed 1.8

ty elaboration metalistas

ok so my frustration has faded and this morning i decided to do some more huing around. picked new sorc and played some. what i noticed is that for her there is no actual need to invest in any of the skills and even stats (so far im lvl 22 and invested into nothing except enough for 20 base str, 1 teleport and smax warmth) if you just buy a staff with 1 skill and the skill on it that you want it suffices for some time. i have main lightning (crowd, less mana cost) and ice bolt (single target, bigger mana cost) on switch. honestly its not necessary to invest in any skills early because it just costs more and more mana in vita spec. ofc the damage is a bit less, it could be faster at outer cloister, but its not beyond the pain threshold. maybe its better for energy shield sorc (i think gets about 2.5 mana per energy). i decided to max out warmth for some mana regen (now 11 hard pts) and it helps a little bit, but will probably switch over to frozen armor later for much better damage gains.

are there any rws that work?

also check this out, the golem is kinda useful to distract monsters with, despite lousy 50 hp

@mahi so far only played sorc beyond lvl 5 but probably if dont play anything else will be sorc

Runewords - don't work.
lvl 1 challenge says lvl 50-70 - don't work. Tried before 50, tried after 50.
Drops nerfed, uniques are weak shit even with sockets filled with jewels.
Smite leaches hp.
Fight with Mephisto ends up a draw. Not sure if i want to spend more time leveling and farming travincial for full sets and xp. It's actually easy but super boring.

about challenge, runewords and more... i found solution

There are a few things to consider when you get started:

Many Cube recipes changed (1 or 2 Runes upgrade to next Rune, AdaHammer + 2 SStone Gems upgrade Basic to Exceptional, etc). The Webpages are organized by input item, so crafted recipes are in "RecipesMagical".
Skill investment is limited to once per two levels, this was done to help balance skill damage and give your character more time to grow into the mana cost increase.
Rejuv potions benefit from Vit-Doubling (Rejuv's 20% sometimes acts as 40%). During testing we noticed some randomness creeped into them (occasionally heal 0% to 100%). I think it's a cool feature, use them cautiously.
+AllSkills is critical early game to awaken hidden passives skills. Those passives give you +3 ARating and +1/2% ShieldBlock when you invest in Strength, but until you change +AllSkills or rejoin a game you won't see the changes. Use a 2-handed weapon or Basic Class item (always has +1Skills) on-switch until you're level 30, after that you won't be leveling up fast enough to feel like you're missing out. It has to be "+AllSkills", since no class owns the hidden passives.
Don't forget that portal-bosses that die from Thorns, Aura-pulses, and BladeShield will not spawn portals. Switch auras, unsummon SpiritOfBarbs, etc, to ensure the onDeath portal opens.
The optional "Challenge Bosses" can be fought when you cube the Gidbinn quest reward with the ReturnTomb (found under Tristram) and then right-click the scroll bought at Akara in A1.
The AkaraRings rewarded for freeing Cain are described here. Trade AkaraRings with other players or cube some together to make a new AkaraRing if you received one with buffs for a different class. +ClassSkills rare rings won't spawn until level 70.
To make more items shoppable at Vendors, I organized the Vendor's sell-lists by the Strength requirement of the items. Low-Str are at Akara, Drognan, Ormus, and Malah; High-Str are at Gheed, Elzix, Asheara, and Anya. Lysander and Alkor have class items of each strength tier for convenience.
Gem shrines can upgrade Perfect to Starstone, and gem shrines are as common as most other shrines.

so yea the runewords and cube recipes simply changed
i gotta say the early armor rw kinda sucks cause could just find 4 socket one and put el runes in for like 130 mf ^^

Thanks, will read and do some research. Some recipes seems hui, some are ok-ish. Btw act3 drops pul runes already, so rws might be a good option overall.

Sorc is fine, less qq - more pot pot.

ive edited first post and cleaned up acc list

Can someone log in to hui server to check my account name? I forgot it. I might be able to guess the password again, but ac not sure. Sukinsin ?

i cant login but it was sukinsin

metalistas did you find a special farm spot for set items or just random mobs?

Do blood raven, rakanishu, tristram, unique mobs in areas 1-4, ect. Low lvl sets drops easily. Also for sorc mp problems - use jewels with damage goes to mana thing. Griswold fight goes like this, run to him, spam nova, when mana down - use melee atacks with enchant, drink pot, while mp recharges from pot and dmg taken - use melee, then spam nova again. Repeat, profit.
