Question! (build to Dungeon Runs)

[doomcu]

what would be the best build to do Dungeon runs in hell? (if the build has a name e.g: hammerdin plz add the most important skills to max so i know what u guys are talkin about) also, plz in english since i dont understand german :)

[Olfmo]

yeah just take a hammadin and do runs... because nobody did that in lod and that is very interesting...

[blueman]

c'mon olfmo, dont be so sarcastic :rolleyes:
i guess nobody will tell you which is the perfect dungeon-build, just try the one or other like sorc or what ever and remember, this mods does not only contains the dungeon. ;)

kind regards blueman

[Fenris]

use a psyassasin or a sorc with lightning fury

here's a psy assasin guide

don't know if there's a english guide for a sorc maybe try the mainpage at wiki there will be a few english guides soon

Doom Dude: Please post in English.  Chatspeak is to English as Road-Kill is to the original critter.  Most Americans can understand chatspeak, but non-Americans will generally have a harder time comprehending it than School English.

Suggestion for the answer: Look at the hardcore ladder standings.  Note that the top 4 characters on the HardCore Ladder are all necros.  This suggests that a well-built necro is very survivable.  The build-types I've seen the most are Poison/Bone with skeleton assist, NOT a traditional Skelliemancer, PoisonMancer, or Boner.  Sorcs are also well-represented on the top 20 of the ladder, but the sorc ladder has a rather high casualty count.

I'm not a skillful nor fast player, I'm finding the Psy Assassin (with Death Sentry and Shadow Master backup) to be extremely rugged and lethal.  I'm only in A3 hell, so I'm in no position to write a guide for DungeonHell farming.

He did not ask for hardcore did he?

So Chars like a ww barb should be ok too. (because you can run/ww through the enemys quite fast)

[doomcu]

webwalker: ty for the answer, i found it quite useful :) and by the way, im also non-american (im brazilian) but i can understand some english as well, the fact is, i dont know anything bout german (just some cognates)...

what else drop ubers?

[Shinlos]

The Bosses in Sinners Cavern and the Monsters in the Nasty places.

[doomcu]

now thats was a fast answer ^^ i have a question, actualy it does not belong this thread, but here it goes: what is th "cs" that the "experience guide" thread tells u to level from 70 to 80?

[DrowElf]

The "cs" is the Chaos Sanctuary, the home of Diablo in act4 :D

[Olfmo]

The Bosses in Sinners Cavern and the Monsters in the Nasty places.

that sounds to me like no other monster can drop ubers and that's of course not true

in the nasty places/sinners cavern drop most soulstones, uber ammys and rings

but to find uber armor, boots and so on you should check out the rest of the dungeon too, also many other places in hell...

[Shinlos]

Sure
But for this Items the Ancient may still be best.

No, he asked for the best build for dungeon runs in hell.

Looking at the hardcore ladder standings should give a good idea of the survivability of the class, regardless of whether you actually build and run in SoftCore or HardCore.  Those ladder standings indicate that Sorceress builds are quite powerful and quite fragile (the first page of Sorceress characters shows many high numbers, a third of them grey), and that Druids lack power in general (very few with high levels at all), but the King of KillThemAllLetChaosSortThemOut is the Necro.

What is lacking is the build focus... e.g. is that a boner necro, or a skelliemancer, or a poisonmancer sitting at #1 on the hardcore ladder?
