71 meteorb sorc, but i literally don’t know what to do next.
everything in hell is immune to me and 1 shots my merc. i’ve run nm bosses like 50 times and haven’t found an upgrade. i just don’t really know where to do next. help?
i have spirit/rhyme, lore, stealth, and some rare fcr stuff i found or crafted. my merc has insight, tal rasha’s mask, and a rare fhr/res chest. seems like all the trades require hell countess runes (which is laughable - i can’t even get there,) and i can’t find an upgrade to save my life running nm countess, andy, meph, diablo, baal.
tldr: where do i farm to be ready for hell?
ps: how much strength am i going to end up needing? i’ve been saving points for a few levels to make sure i can wear the good stuff but i don’t wanna over commit…
was trying to save my last respec to go into lightning when i get that runeword on my merc that reduces damage though… should i just say f it and do it now?
Ok so lvl 71 is quite low. I would suggest to go ancient tunnels hell(in lost city act 2) and keep run it until you have lvl 80.thats should give you more skills=damage since you are double element. Merc will be also better with 9 more levels.
Or you could respec and go orb+ firewall. I finished hell with that on untwinked hc run. When you do chaos, take it slow, lure monsters from mages go back and kill them and repeat. Dont just run in.
That was my issue with my Hammerdin back then. I got somewhat stucked on Act 1 Hell. It’s like my progression was under the control of RNG becoz I have no runes above ‘io’ rune. I was just asking the game to give me a Lum rune.
I kept doing Countess Hell even though it was hard. I also did NM Cows. And redo early stages of Hell over and over. But all I got were runes not above ‘io’ runes. I also did some Gamble, no luck for more powerful items. However, I realized that I got 3x ‘io’ runes so I made Lum rune out of it. I fixed my Resistance issue and my progression moved on… only to encounter immune mobs to me on Act 2.
My answer for immune mobs is the Mercenary. I just upgraded my Mercenaries weapon. I cant kill mobs immune to me but those mobs cant kill me either. So I served as tank, a distraction to these mobs while my Merc kill them one by one. I beat Act 2.
I dont know how you do it on Sorcerer. But I did it on my Hammerdin. BTW, I completed the whole Hell already… all on SOLO.
