I wanted to ask around to get feedback on how players who go ES Nova once they reach Hell mode go about farming and gearing their sorcs on day 1 of ladder start? Do you have a build order for level 65 ish, what budget gear runewords do you use and what areas do you farm? Thanks.
I do about 200 meph/andy runs once i run through hell mode with my reset friends. After about 200 meph/andy runs i have enough gear to switch over. Wizardspike, lion heart armor in light plate. Amulet with mana damage reduce/or res. Getting a 35% spirit is gravy but it works with lower fcr ones. Can really use any boots with res life rw gloves mage fists. Insight in any base early is fine merc just needs to live as you moat blizzard mephisto down. Rhyme gull dagger on swap gamble for gull dagger on a level 11 alt.
So bulletins for easier reading
Get through hell
Get wizardspike
Get lower runes make insight and spirit use rhyme until you get your first monarch
Destroy countess and cows for runes and you get decent drops in cows.
Monarchs from cows sell good day 1 and 2
Get hoto from cubing up did this last season with my runes from cows and countess
From here on its just ride the gravy train for the whole season and get super wealthy.
I usually go full lightning/chain lightning when i get an infinity for my merc with sunder setup and crescent moon with griffons. Just destroys everything at that point lower resist wand on swap.
Great guide thank you.
How do you deal with countess in hell mode? She is immune to cold and fire.
I do 200 meph runs and then respec to es nova with wizspike and farm countess cows. Sorry should have clarified that part better.
Terror zones been great for me. Got my shako in NM cold plains. I lvl in Terror zones too for runes. Got a Lum on my 28 lvl pally this season. Idk runes drop in dense terror zones lvling up too hell.
well the answer is they just swipe their credit cards and buy items from d2jsp.
