I'm level 51 in nightmare now. I've made a Lore helm, and Spirit crystal sword. Next I'm going to make Gloom body and maybe Rhyme shield. At the moment though it's super easy lol, my hammers do heaps of damage and my resistances are high enough that I hardly get hurt much. I'm just going to rush through NM till Baal, do runs to get level 60-70, then start Hell mode. And later on maybe make better runeword items.
Wow thanks for the advice. Problem is though, I'm already level 47 Hammderin in NM now. xD And I want to stick to the hammerdin. My main goal originally was to just beat hell mode before D3 comes out - finding a bunch of good items is a bonus. I understand that my time is limited, and since it's just SP I wasn't really planning on trying to get any amazing items like enigma anyway.
Instead I'm just going to rush NM, do baal runs to get level 70, then beat hell mode. Along the way I'll do boss runs for exp and hope for rare items. I'll also do boss runs for runes (hell mode countess?) and make a bunch of runeword items. I dunno why, but I love making runeword items. xD
I'm going to make stuff like lore, splendor, delirium, honor, rhyme, gloom.. and just experiment. My hammderin should be good enough to beat hell with crappy items anyway, so it's no problem. Then I'll make him look pretty with lots of runeword items, feel proud, and then play D3 the moment it's released.
Okay so I've decided to play through D2 again and beat hell mode before D3 comes out (I've never beaten hell mode). I'm playing single player, and have never played mutliplayer either (as you can tell I haven't done much). I've made a Hammerdin and am level 25, following a common PvM build:
Since I'm in single player though, trying to get the items/ gear that's listed on those builds is extremely hard? In fact, I've actually got no idea how to get those rare items. Like, where can you find ring of jordan's, mara's kaleidoscope and arachnid mesh, etc etc?? Do you just kill hell-mode baal over and over, or hell-mode countess?
I'm only level 25 and in normal at the moment though, so I'm just using whatever items I find along the way (doesn't really matter). But I want to find some really good gear when I beat hell. Any tips/locations on how/where you guys would find all of the gear listed in hammerdin guide above? Thanks!
