Haruspex chit-chat

[BoikaiN]

I have a question, am i suppose to choose one of the trance's in the Dream Build?
if i am - Which one and why?
I've seen that Trance of Empathy Reflects dmg and heal me.
but then Trance of Convalescence gives me a bonus to Energy and Health Regen.
Both of them seems to do the same thing, just in a different way!

ToC is best. Forget about the regen, ToC is about damage absorption. At max level +4, it gives 20% absorption of all damage. So it's a great skill to boost survivability.

[BoikaiN]

ToC it is! thank you for your opinion!

Haruspex is really silly overpowered if you build it and equip it even remotely right. Mine is currently in late Act IV Epic. She has 1575 DA and I'm not even using Batrachos Greaves or a Veteran's torso armour, both of which would boost her DA even higher. Considering that almost nothing in melee combat can even hit me, having 20% damage absorption for the very few who can hit me is just gravy.

She's not twinked and has got really rubbish or common gear too. Phorkos' Trident is the only decent item I've got. Other than that, it's so-so +2 SBC, a Juggernaut's torso armour I got way back in Act II, a Titanic shield socketed with Shade of Hector, Soul Shiver artifact from Act II Normal, Warrior's Buskin boots, an ancient Hallowed helm that I also got in Act I or II, a couple of socketed Hale rings and a socketed Hardy amulet of the Tiger. And she's owning everything, go figure.

Im currently farming Typhon now, sinse i tried to advance into act IV.
Altough i don't think im properly geared.
I recently got Shrieking Helm. Which is one of the ''decent'' drops ive recieved from typhon.

He doesnt drop epics quiet as often as i though he would!

[BoikaiN]

Okey, I started Act IV kinda good. then i ran in into the so called ''NightStalkers'' (looks like the Jackals from act II)
And they did a helluva lot damage to me! if i get hit by one of their Arrows i take about 200 damage from it.
Is that the Pierce Damage resistance gear im suppose to look for all of a sudden?
Or will i be running into them quiet often?

Just killed ''the gray one's'' btw. No epic dropped tho. should i be farming them?

[Irma2]

Nightstalkers aren't that common. If you're past the Gray Sisters, you've seen the last of them. There are worse archers later. Pierce resistance will help, but things like Sands of Sleep and Phantom Strike are even better.

I wouldn't farm the Grays, nor any boss other than Hades or Secret Passage in Act IV. All the other boss chests are quite poor.

[BoikaiN]

Which level do you think il be when i finish Normal?
im lvl 38 now.

[Irma2]

40, if you've finished every quest, cleared every area and only done moderate farming.

[BoikaiN]

right, shouldnt be TOO hard
