One of the "fun" things with hero mobs is that they sometimes show up with green/blue/purple equipment that turns an otherwise easy battle into a real nail-biter hehe :p! Without checking the...

I too go nearly 1:1 str:dex on melee builds. I err a bit towards more in str, but in the early game, it's a real drag to see red numbers floating over your head hehe :p.

Congrats on 3000 posts...

Conquerors rush in where angels fear to tread hehehe :D. I play my brigand pretty similarly-- run to the next group and trust to your ability to dodge the arrows, spells etc ;)!

Thanks for the info Asylum :)! My oracle is lightning oriented for the most part, so he should handle ol' Toxy pretty easily. I can't remember doing SP runs with him though.... Maybe I stuck with...

I should dust off my oracle and experiment with the energy shield from storm.... It seems like having any shield up negates the reflected damage, but I just don't remember if the shield in storm did...

One option to consider is playing a heavily hybridized soothsayer or ritualist. If you add enough str to at least use spears, for example, it shouldn't cut too heavily into your electrical burn...

Triumph (only) works if you have the fanpatch, so you should be fine :). I can't imagine why anyone would play without the fanpatch, given how many bugged skills and quests it fixes!

Peng claws look better than they are-- the damage bonus doesn't get ramped up by your str for some bizarre reason, where the damage bonus from Achilles does benefit from str. Also, you can complete...

Making a "true hybrid" like you describe is certainly a viable choice, just know going in that you're going to be a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none :p. If you can live with that, it can...

Hi Lorna-Gabriela, welcome to the forum :)! If you post info about your character and gear, we can probably help you figure out a better setup. Debuffing Nate's resistances helps a great deal, i.e....

When I'm playing a caster, I absolutely love getting both pieces in this set in normal difficulty :). The flat minus resistances bit is absolutely huge! One staff shot to set up the boss for your...

Sorry all, I was thinking "Guardian" instead of "Stonebinder's" for some silly reason. I'm pretty good at confusing the names on items :p. There are, indeed, 2 MI types of armor dropped by gorgons,...

It's not ADCtH, but unholy rings can be entertaining on melee spirit builds for battling mobs with a lot of energy. It's not the most effective strategy in the world, but it's fun hehe.

There are a number of late Epic/early Legendary artifacts that can roll with +25 or even +35% attack speed. There are also quite a few blue and purple staves that come with attack speed boosts. For...

I agree-- I pretty much have to be dragged kicking and screaming into using trances other than convalescence hehe ;).

Medea, it's not a prefix. It's a type of MI. Iirc, trash gorgons can drop either the Sentinel's or the Guardian's MI armor, but it takes a hero (including the 3 sisters) or a green or red caster...

Welcome to the forums, x-president :)! As you get more points into squall and start finding +% int items to wear, you'll find that trash mobs running into your squall generally don't make it out the...

Actually, both Shalie and I, and Irma2 for that matter, said what we didn't like about -100% recharge. It takes away questions of when to use your most powerful skills, and eliminates most or all of...

The Guardians chest armor has a nice look to it, but it is clearly intended for female characters hehe. Iirc, the Sentinel armors don't look quite as good, but tend to be more useful. I think I've...

Wow! Juggernaut's of the Glade is really, really nice for hunting or rogue characters :). Nice find Medea!

I'll have to check my vault, but I think I've got a piece of mage armor with one of those demon-bashing suffixes :p.

Welcome to the forums mystclgem :)! If your hubby's computer is networked with yours, it should be pretty straightforward to access the Vault files on each other's computers. If you haven't already...

There is most definitely something wrong with -100% recharge imo: it absolutely breaks the game and destroys any semblence of a challenge! Consider a -100% recharge conq: perma colossus form,...

My baby thane picked up my 2nd Glowing Rod today, just a couple weeks after I finally got the 1st one :p. My brigand got blanked on decent legendary Icthian Aegis again today :(, but he at least got...

I've gotta agree with Shalie here. As soon as I see -100% recharge, my eyes glaze, and I start looking for another thread hehe :p.
