After fighting Pindle, you have to travel down the Hall’s of pain and kill some mid lvl boss, is he Skip able? Can I go straight to “The Ancients way”?
Those defeated soldier that speed hit are giving me more trouble then I’d like to admit especially when they bash you into a mob of other monsters
you can skip anya / nihlithak quests.
personally i like to finish the anya quest for the perm res boost
edit:
i forgot you CAN skip shenk & the soldiers quest, too.
but if your goin solo, you end up running into them anyways, its easy to just get em out of the way
Don’t skips quests.
Skip waypoints that don’t lead to farming hotspots.
Unless of course you plan to rush people. Then it’s nice to provide waypoints.
The time killers are bad build bottlenecks. Overdriving your build. Not accounting for immunities in hell difficulty. Having your resistances too low. Not having enough gold to rez your mercenary or buy potions. Picking up low value loot.
All big slow downs.
Hey that you for the reply, yeah I ended up just going slow and doing the quests. I’ve been running Baal for a good 2 hours now with my Pally. Im in a really good spot with my Pally now, I’m a Hammerdin build I do 5340-5502 Hammer damage, w/ resistance in the 70’s except for posion which is only 41%. The only thing that sucks is my magic find is only 213 but, my Pally needs to be able to kill monsters rather then MG for now
My advice is to skip only the second quest which is the barbs quest he gives you only the three runes from the all difficulty
The first is important because before finish him all prices from vendors is double in town
The Anya quest is important to because he reduces the resist penalty in hell by 40% i think and basically gives you more ress stats.
213 is very good. MF has such high diminsihing rerurn.
If 1.0 represents the base chance of getting a unique:
On 200 MF that is 2.11, and on 300 MF that is 2.36. And on 400 MF it is 2.53.
As you can see not much of a difference, the first 200 points of MF are the important ones.
To phrase it another way, to double the chance of getting uniques you need around 170 MF. If you wanna triple the chance of getting uniques you need 1000 MF.
It gives you 10 res per difficulty. So +30 all if you do it on normal,nm and hell.
