Quote:Another playing style that I haven't tried out unfortunately is the use of KsoV and HoS with a Medium AC range ( generally ~250 ). Such godlike Warrior with high blocking percentage would have a setup that could theoratically free him from the use of potions.
My overdressed Warrior has such a setup. With a HoS on, he has (IIRC - it's been a while since I've played him) 262 AC, with 72% resist all, 450ish Life, 250ish Mana, and 120 Dex.
He uses a King's Bastard Sword of Speed, and also uses a King's Bastard Sword of Vampire.
To be frank, I prefer the KSoS/HoS combo. It's faster.
That's not to say that the KSoV/HoS combo is useless. One can indeed play potion-free. It's just not quite as effective, considering how much telekilling can be done with a belt full of potions.
With either setup, I can do full Hell/Hell clears without surfacing for pots. I do, however, need to surface for repairs as I've never found too many Hidden Shrines for my equipment. The various Mana Potions that drop here and there are usually enough to fuel my telekilling.
I find that the most fun levels to use the HoS/KSoV combo on are the (dreaded) tri-witch levels, AKA 4th of July. If you have little desynch, you can telekill for freakin' ever. It's a blast.
