Since you’d be going back to completed areas, switch it up to /p7 for the far better drop rates. The chests in Durance of Hate 1 and 2 rain runes, but there are those pesky Dolls to navigate that have prevented most people from learning this about the areas. Trav will be good, except Toorc, and the near harmless Nigh Lords and Heirophants, whom are all cold immune. The rock and skull piles in the Reliquary and Fane. There is also Stormtree at the gates of LK coming in form The Flayer Jungle. Pop all the chests and click all the clickables in LK, especially the 3 chests in the huts west and north of the bonfires. Try farming nightmare cows, and in hell The Pit, Ancient Tunnels and Lower Kurast (LK). So, what is my best chance? Respecing seems not enough in P8 given the health pools monsters have and the lifespan of my merc, but I don’t think I’m getting better gear or enough runes for a decent runeword for him in the near future. The mercenary is even worse, have him running around with a Rockfleece, the %DR seems to help but he’s getting slaughtered against any boss with an aura or cursed. Gear wise I have a mixed bag of equipment in my character,got a shako and an oculus from Mephisto runs, but in 85 levels I haven’t seen not even a +1 blue amulet for sorc, even from gambling! Not a single SoJ either, actually I’m wearing a blue +16%mf ring on one hand, go figure. I hate fire and I would prefer not having to respec to that, but what do you guys think? Would a 20 Firewall or meteor be enough to kill inmunes in act5 hell with p8? Or will I need to get my mercenary top gear (unlikely to happen in single player) and rely on him? Could respec out of Thunderstorm and go for lightning or nova but I know I’m not beating cold inmunes with that in players8. Build is basically 20 Frozen Orb, 10 Cold mastery, 20 Thunderstorm and 20 Lightning mastery, 1 Energy Shield (for safety) (basically your typical FO/Thunderstorm 1.09 build). I just reached level 85 in chaos sanctuary. But I know for sure I’m not completing act5 in players 8 as it is now, not even close. Thing is, act4 was a breeze with almost no cold inmunes. Diablo went down like in half a minute as it should be for what’s ironically probably the easiest act boss in the game. Chaos sanctuary was a drag, literally took over an hour (would have been so much faster if I just had opened the portals without killing anything, but I’m THAT stubborn, so here we are). Hell so far has been a pain, but I managed to get to act5 right now. Unfortunately that also means I tried (and am still spec’d on) Thunderstorm because back in the day it was incredibly fun to see cold inmunes go down in a single thunder… Anyways, let’s get to the matter at hand. Playing as a sorcerer because old habits don’t die. Because I’m a masochist I decided the best way to come back was to do a HC run in single player with players8. Hadn’t played since the old 1.09d days (except for a handful of hours in 1.10 till I decided I hated sinergies and quit the game).
