Hi guys,

I haven't played this game for like 4-5 years and just started up again. it seems like they added features that ive never heard of (i.e. synergies?) and i'm completely lost.

also, whats with this penelty issue on rushing? from what i remember, you would get rushed to hell and do cow runs over and over for exp (as a leecher lol), now you have to be lvl 25 to benefit from the leech? i just dont get it!!

so yeah, im trying to put an effort to get back into the game so if you don't mind helping out a noob, im on useast and my account is: Booya thx!!

p.s. i wasnt a noob when i actually played, i mean i had windforce, valor something, stormshield, war travellers .. do these still exist? lolol

Rushing:
You can still get to hell with a lvl 1-5 but for you to be able to do it, you need a char that needs a baal q and aprty with him then do the same thing with nm & hell. The fastes way to level would be going to a Uber Trist(you an Organ set for this to open the red portal in act 5) or as trezzz said go chaosing in hell.
Items that you mentioned above are still available but not bugged (weird stats like in 09) anymore.

ok thx for the input so far ... what's your stance on baal runs?? good exp??

I'm at lvl 25 now, and just trying to lvl to 45-50ish before moving onto nightmare ... surprised that trist runs actually give so much exp!!

also, im following a build guild for hammerdin, but what these guilds don't tell you is how hard it is to actually aim those hammers!! is this a technique? any insight on hit targets efficently?? (btw, this is my first time ever playing a paladin, so maybe its just me? lol)

thanks for the input!!

You need level 60 for hell baal run. Once you reach that level, you can get from 60-80 in around 1 hour

have hammers on left click. do not change this. wear an enigma. this item is a must-have for a hammerdin. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ENIGMA ABORT YOUR CHAR AND MAKE A SORCERESS OR YOU WILL END UP VERY FRUSTRATED. set hotkeys for teleport and concentration next to each other (like maybe f1 and f2). hold down shift. cast teleport (hit the hotkey for teleport and right-click) targeting whatever it is that you want to hit (i.e. your mouse is hovering over the monster). now VERY QUICKLY hit the hotkey for concentration while and hold down left-click untill the monster is dead. repeat.

notes - shift key is held down at all times except while in town; practice teleing immediately followed by swapping to concentration and casting hammers to get good

yeah 40s fine to move into nightmare. If you cannot afford nigma, i think it is better to make a sorc instead. Sorcs are cheap and easy to use

it's fine to use whatever you want, but if you wanna save yourself the pain of your char being rediculously hard to hit anything with, then you should just make a sorc. sorcs are good no matter what gear they have on, whereas pallies ARE their gear.

so i got rushed up to end of diablo in hell by a hardcore gamer and he basically told me to start a blizz sorc cause its the best way to find items through mf , and then through this, i can build my paladin (basically what guys - tram and treezzz - said)

also, i didnt know it was ok to prush to hell then do chaos runs for mass exp ... does this apply if i rush to hell and say im like lvl 7? as a lvl 7, do i still get good exp from doing hell chaos runs?

thanks

edit: anyone willing to prush my sorc plz?? smile

ladder season isnt ready for playing yet by my tastes. not enough high level chars doing runs and not enough items to go around. i usually join the new ladder season at like 3-5 months into it lol (sometimes more even)

do most play non-ladder?? i thought since the reset, everyone would be going ladder .... the reason i picked ladder was cause i heard non-ladder and ladder can't exchange items or join the same games (true?) .. and thus, figured most ppl would start new characters on ladder (meaning non-ladder characters becomes less useful and important?)

well it's mainly a matter of tastes. i myself am playing nonladder right now. i like to wait for the ladder economy to settle down before i jump in. some people like to get in a sort of "fresh start" so they go on ladder immediately

just wondering, isnt it better to start as early as you can on ladder though? this way you can mf 24/7 and find as many good uniques as you can and trade, etc.?

edit: just saw your above post

so what do you recommend for someone like me? should i do nonladder?

since you dont have any gear from the last ladder season that you would "lose" by moving to ladder right now, it's prolly good to go ahead and play on ladder right now. just make an mf sorc and do meph or andy runs and get rich so you can make a godly hammerdin and do pretty much everything.
gl leveling your sorc btw ^^

ok sounds good!! ill do what i can ... the hardest part is getting the prush itself!! like once i hit lvl 80 or so with sorc, i would constantly do mf runs with whatever mf percentage i have ...

treezzzzz and tram, would you guys happen to know anyone on the new ladder thats willing to do the rush? THEY CAN HAVE MY FORGE .. LOL
