Hi everyone, I reached the Hell for the first time in my life with Phoenix Strike Assassin lvl 70 and I'm quite undergeared and underleveled.
After reading some recommendations I was excited to make a Bulwark and... it didn't work.
I only play PC Online Non-Ladder and I guess it is a reason of my fail.
I thought that in D2R there are no ladder only runewords anymore, but looks like it's not a true for some of them.
I searched the internet for this topic and I found the following list:
Ladder-only runewords as follows:
- Bulwark
- Cure
- Ground
- Hearth
- Hysteria
- Mania
- Metamorphosis
- Temper
Hope this list will help someone to not repeat my mistake.
I have some noob questions and would appreciate any help on this:
- Will I be able to craft a Mosaic for my assassin?
- Any tips on how to proceed on Hell difficulty?
What I already did: when I failed to kill nm Baal at level 65, I went to farm nm Andy and Pindleskin. Fun fact: Pindleskin gave me the best drop I've ever seen: before farming him my highest runes were a few Sol and a single Hel, but during the farming I found 1 Ist and 2 Lum. So I created 2 Smokes for me and merc. Also I farmed the nm Countess to create a Rhyme.
My current gear that is worth mentioning:
- Weapon: Pattern, Rare claws with +1 to all assassin skills
- Weapon swap: Spirit, Rhyme
- Other: Peasant Crown, Venom Grip, Nokozan Relic, 3% LL blood ring, Smoke, Goldwrap
- A2 merc: Undead Crown, Insight, Smoke
