Have you tried this? Sounds pretty cool.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

Not yet, but i'll do it tomorrow with sure.
I saw it in a guide for the fire/rabies druid.

Go to www.diabloii.net - and look at the menu for strategy compendium and look for hybrid druid or fire/rabies druid, if you go there until today or tomorrow is the last addition, so will be at the principal screen.
In the middle of the guide - the guy mention this.

You guys made me thinking about starting again!

I was thinking of a bowazon though, and just as a compliment to my failing DotA skills. Maybe I sould DL Sacred...

Shyon: Tried it once last night starting my game with my hammerdin who had completed norm baal. I then brought my lvl 42 frost zealot into the game and killed norm baal. The drop was good, no mf. 6 items, 4 magic, 1 rare, 1 pair of magefist (unique).

I'm sure if I'd killed him with the lvl 80 hammerdin I'd have got a scroll of tp and some gold so it seems to be good. Only tested once though. Maybe a good method for SOJ finding. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Got to be some whay to do this on hell... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> Maybe if you had a friend... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I play on US east. You are more than welcome to join me...

What's the time at your place?

Übereil

10.24am. I'm at work at the moment. Its Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Sweden is probably 6 or 7 hours in front?

am=after midnight?

Here the time is 16...32?!? Probably five hours in front... Add my currently disturbed rythm of day (go up at 14.00-15.00, go to sleep 4.00... I'm gonna be dead on monday morning <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />)

Übereil

Yeah, 10.24 on the 24-hour clock too. So I guess when I get home tonight it'll be 18.00 here and about 24.00 there. Too late for ya?

Nono, there's still a four hours left to play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

I'll be lvl 1 though... Do you have msn? Just for comunication...

Übereil

Yup, I can give you some starter gear. Don't have too much but I can 'powerlevel' you fast. I may be heading out tonight for beers but that's uncertain. Could definately play saturday. I have an MSN account too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Maybe you have a character YOU whant to build... In that cse we could start together. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I wonder how to build my char btw... A bowazon... One skill I've GOT to have is (geeze, can't remember the skillnames!) Guided arrow. That's 22 skills And I'm either gonna have strafe or multishot (I LOVE starfe, but I've heard you'll die on hell <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />), so that's either 42 or 41 skillpoints. (Hehe, found the perfect buildsite <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. http://www.d2items.com/skills.php )
So, I have:
Strafe 20
Guided arrow 20
Magic arrow 1
Multishot 1
cold arrow 1

Let's go to passive:

Since I'm gonna keep my range, the dodgeskills are pretty useless. BUT! I think I'm going for Valkyrie, so I need one in each, which gives a small dodgechance...

Inner sight lvl 20= defence:-815 % <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />...

New skills are:

Valkyrie 20 (allmost added 230, and yes, it would be nice with a lvl 230 valkyrie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
Dodge/Avoid/evade 1
Inner sight 1
Slow missile 1
decoy 1
Crit strike 11 (starts increasing with only one point at lvl 12...)
Penetrate 1
Pierce 1 (maybe I'll just screw this skill... 23% isn't much, and it's NOT worth it when guided arrow won't pierce...)

So:
Strafe 20
Guided arrow 20
Valkyrie 20
Crittical strike 11
dodge 1
evade 1
avoid 1
inner sight 1
slow missile 1
decoy 1
penetrate 1
Magic arrow 1
Multishot 1
Cold arrow 1
Total 82 skillpoints (around lvl 70 this one's finnished).

Then I'll see what to go for. Maybe some improved dodge (good for both ME and my valkyrie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) or some other valkyrie booster. Decoy increases her life, penetrate her hitting (and my hitting, let's see what I need up there).

As you can see this is FAR from a complete planning, but it will work for a while. Tips?

Übereil

Sorry to poop on your idea but I don't think that will work too well unless you have a really good bow for hell. Strafe and Guided have a problem in that they do not have any synergies. Most bowazons use freezing arrow these days with pierce. This could be coupled with a buriza for big damage. It works pretty well. You won't have to put many points in pierce too.

Lighning fury 'zons are still pretty formidable. I would get at least a titans' revenge for this character though.

One of the better 'zons I made was a lightning fury/freezing arrow hybrid with synergies for freezing arrow maxed out (cold arrow I think) and 20 points in lightning fury. The rest go into valkyrie.

I can always explain this to you online of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

*gimpy1 and *gimpy2 are my accounts for whispering too.

How do you whisper again? Allways seems to forget that...

And my name will be (guess what?) Ubereil.

Übereil

Example: for me it will be /w *Gimpy1 (message) -no brackets needed though.

Guess I'll have to catch you tomorrow. My buddy is dragging me out for beers tonight. Sorry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Tomorrows Saturday, right? They we might be able to start earlier? But on the other hand, if your buddies are dragging you out... I whant to play with someone wo won't accidentlly throw up on his keyboard. Hope you understand...

Übereil

PS oh, and have fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> (but please not TOO fun, reason allready mentioned...) DS

I shall catch you around sometime tomorrow then. Haven't left work yet though.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

@ womble & ube: can i join you on your d2 game? are you going to be playing this weekend? i have the whole weekend free: no work, no date w/ my gf (thank god!lol). so it's pure gaming heaven for me.

thing is, i'm in asia so there's a time difference. just tell me when you're scheduled to play. i'll adjust to your schedules, even if it's 'round midnight here, i'll just stay up late. been awhile since i last played d2 and i got to make my broadband connection worth its price. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />btw, it's 9:15am here, saturday.

maybe i'll just start a new thread on this so we won't be riding along on kyra's thread. just look for d2: lod game thread. with all due apologies, lady kyra. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
