Topic: Mod Love + Awesome sorceress

[tehchowd]

Just wanted to say that I love this mod. It's completely awesome. I think my favorite thing is how easy it is to make awesome high-level rune words, without it making the game too easy. That being said, I'm experimenting my making the most obscene rune and runeword fueled sorc that I can thing of. Dream helm + dream shield plus either a beast ax for werebear and fanaticism, cresent moon something, passion for zeal, or a six-shaeled phase blade. I'm going to max lit mastery, enchant, fire mastery, warmth, frost nova, and maybe thunder storm if I can get around to it. Or maybe nova as a synergy for frost nova, I dunno. Anyway, only in this mod could I do this, so thanks Chaos for imporving LOD to such a huge degree.

Keep in your plans that you can outfit your merc with several runeword items (e.g. Insight), including Auras (e.g. Defiance and Conviction).

I have run a sorc Icy_Hot with sparks (thunder storm). Stay away from the defender skill, drains mana real fast.
this was in D2 LOD SP & on-line in B-net.

Never ran her with rune words though, sounds good..

In other mods in SP Icy_Hot was a real killer.

My suggestion:
Don't use double Dream. The Dam is too low.
If u want the Aura use an Item that provides the aura as a Skill not as Aura on Item, cuz this can be pushed with +Skills.

Shinlos,

With two dream items equiped, I can get up to lvl 30 holy shock (15 + 15), because the auras granted from items stack. If I equiped an item than gave me, say, lvl 7 holy shock as a skill instead of as an active aura, I would still need +23 to skills just to equal the power of my double dreams. Unless there is an item in Ce that gives +25 or greater to holy shock as a skill, (Which there very well could be, I'm not even close to knowing all the items in CE), my double dreams will be better than just having holy shock as a skill.

Sure
But maybe later you'll use All Soulstones + Uber Schmuck and maybe more Uber Stuff.
Since the Dreams are better it's ok to use them.
