I actually did that yesterday with a necro summoner. What a nightmare, had to go back to town and start gearing up as melee so that I could complete this, not looking forward to nightmare or hell.

I was starting with trapsin and wake of fire gets maybe one out of 10 mobs in there. The pathfinding and hitboxes in that zone are just bad.

Now think about something... before LoD, u couldn't pass through ur own minions. So u'd get stuck in maggot lair repeatedly :D

We did maggot lair monday night. Claw assassin took point, i spammed holy bolts at her, and our sorc couldn't stop laughing at what his new chain lightning did from the backlines.

Thanks to a mix of resist lightning and cleansing we got through with no deaths but a few close calls. Two of us did die to Radament which was embarrassing given I actually could damage him beyond my 1 to 5 damage sceptre...

As for necro, I say always have a bone spear handy no matter which sort you are. Meleemancer, artymancer, minionmancer...doesn't matter. Bone spear is your all purpose early game backup when your usual approach fails.

Or just build a spear specialist and laugh gleefully in railgun all the way to hell.

Dude. That poison is no joke and as soon as I Cleansed it he applied it again.

Anyway the real shame came when I dropped a chunk of change only hours after telling our newbie friend to regularly bank his gold in case he died.

Fuck.

I played D1 & D2 on day one and I'd forgotten how good this game is. It's a wonder that Chris reveres it. D2R has also really opened my eyes to the massive bloat that poe contains right now.

It's been a hot minute since I played POE. I was burnt out, so I took a break from this sorta game, but I had to give D2R a shot since playing some 8 years ago prior. Just as great as I remember. Boy did I miss that giddy feel of getting a new piece of gear that I know is gonna be good unless it's tailored to another class.

Playing Summonmancer of course and just landed in Nightmare. What a blast.

I know what you mean, but I don't see why you don't get that in PoE (or so you seem to imply). How do you know the piece of gear is gonna be good?
I mean, if it is a weak base you can know (in D2 and in PoE) that it's not gonna be good - but the other way round?

I know right? Having so much fun. I'm hooked way harder than I ever was playing poe over the last 6 years...

Until you get to the later stages of Nightmare and Hell, upgrades are not hard at all to get.
