Awesome. Thanks a lot, that really helps me kinda figure out what I should be doing.
Sorry, I logged out in my Acid Cloud gear, but there isn't much difference aside from a ring and the off-hand.
As far as what I usually farm. My friends and I generally just do mp0-1 XP runs, but I'm really trying to work up to where I can successfully do the higher MPs without dying a bunch, which is why Dogs appealed to me. But some minor gear changes look like Bears can give me the same effect.
I took some advice from a friend and put together a rudimentary Zero Dogs build to try out the playstyle. It's... interesting, to say the least. I actually really like the chaos of it, but I see how ridiculously expensive it's going to be to put together a set that puts it on par with bears.
I went ahead and took your advice. I picked up a Skorn with what was left from my dogs experiment. 1337 DPS (admittedly low, but still), 337 in, 6% LS, 156 CD, and a socket. I'm really digging the mana savings so far. I'll start working on replacing the other pieces now with what you recommended, starting with the pants.
At what MP is it recommended that you switch from an xp gem to a health % instead? Same rule applies to HF Ring, I assume?
Thanks again, that really helps me to know where my focus should be.
Just started playing again after a few months break, and lucked into a 400mil Inna's I just sold. (It's like the game WANTS me to keep playing)
So, long story short, I'm scared to death of wasting the gold and could use some pointers for what pieces I should be focusing on/need the most help.
I've been messing around with Bears for a little bit, and It's not bad, but I'm really interested in going Zero Dogs. I have Mana reduction pieces for bears (SoJ and String of Skulls), plus a decent-ish Echoing Fury (2.2% LS) that I forgot to log out with, but that's the only gear I have with Bears specifically in mind.
Is 320 mil enough to really get a good Zero Dogs set up and going, or should I stick with bears until I luck into a few more good drops? I'm assuming I'll be going for the 34 second reduction, so I have an alright idea of what I'm looking for, I just feel like I could use a few pointers and a little more direction.
Since I just made this account, I can't post a link to my profile, but my battletag is Nintenuendo#1945 if that helps.
I posted this on the official forums as well, but nothing wrong with casting a wider net, and you guys always seem to give really good feeback.
I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me. I'm not a total noob (I don't think), I've just never had this much gold to potentially thrown down the drain, and I'm really unfamiliar with Zero Dogs.
