[scat35]

Hi Guys

My wife and I are up to the forgotten tower in act 1 of come get some level and we are getting our butts whipped . We are both amazons im lvl 93 and shes lvl 90.

Im wearing the full set of bloodravens legacy and jewelry of the diva also but my resistances are still way low.

Has anyone got any tips on good gear to wear to push on further please

Thanks
Craig & Christine

Since you havent got any u amus the res will always be a problem... my suggestion is sockel ums in the armor (4) and zod in the amulett... as well do you got cta ?? if not make one so you got bo .... without it its not playable you need the hp. The next thing i would think of is damage reduce... look that you got as much as possible ( 50% is cap ) .. if you have free slots 4 ber ( if not socked um ) sock them or use blood wich can have up to 15% either. Next thing to get res is give your mercenary a humility armor... it has high lvl req but has a nice res aura thats all i could think of... hopefully it helps

Hey Sky

Sorry but most of the lingo you have used has gone over my head as i dont play online , so amus ? you got cta?? and make one so you got bo ? and do you mean put 4 um runes into a socketed armour ? Also sock them and use blood ? And what is humility armour ?
Sorry for sounding dumb and thanks for your help

Cheers

u amu = "eye of the tiger" = über amulet
CtA = runeword "Call to Arms" which gives you the barbarian skill "Battle Orders" (BO)

You should use the runeword "Blood" in a belt and a circlet. Furthermore the runeword "Humility" in a bodyarmor for your merc. To get good resistances and damreduce I suggest to use the set armor from the "Najs"-Set and socket it with 4 Ber-Runes.

I hope that this is helpful for you.

Bartuc's Set will boost your resistance caps to 95.
Also it will boost your resists.
It leaves you rings, ammy, and belt free for resists that Bartuc's doesn't give.
At your level, the Bartuc armor can be upgraded to Great Hauberk (elite), given 4 sockets, and 4 UM runes will increase resists by 60%
The hat for that set can only take 2 sockets, but that's another 30% to resists.

What belt to use depends on the other gear you have.

For the Bloodraven set, a socket has been made a part of the set for hat, armor, and belt (per the description that is online) so boosting resists is limited.

Resists charms are very useful.

A perfect diamond (25% resistance to all in addition to the resistancein the ammy you have on) in the ammy is the best option if your resists are not capped with all the above taken together.  The Zod in the ammy has the benefit of boosting the resists caps by 7%.

The Humility runeword in the merc armor is an excellent notion.  So is a Doom'd hammer for Holy Freeze.  I've played a trick with Humility (which also give a boost to Battle Orders) armor and a CtA: swap armor with the merc, switch to CtA, use the Battle Orders, then swap the armors back and switch back to bow.

The Tower is (up to) 5 "stair traps",  meaning you're vulnerable to enemy fire before you see your own screen.  It's just a tough, dangerous area that I generally skip because it isn't essential.  The Fire Golem from B.R.L. (BloodRaven's Legacy) makes a good decoy, as does the pair of valks and mercs.

Going from room to room within one floor is not so difficult if you cast Lower Resists from your puppenkiste skill into the room before entry: if anything is there then you'll see the glow from the curse change the lighting in the room.  If something is there, cast Decoy, Valk, and/or Fire Golem into that room before entry.  These tricks don't help with the stair traps, unfortunately.

When I'm playing with a friend (like you two do) I'd team up the Zon with a Druid or Necro so there's an army of distractions pulling enemy fire away from me.

Luke... Come to the Online Side of the force!
