Hello everyone,
Lovely to see the Lurker Lounge still alive and well. I played Diablo when it first came out and found help here and from members of the DSF. Now I've dug the demon out again... I'm playing a Rogue, currently clvl36, and I like playing a true versatile; she has to be able to handle every level of the dungeon on every difficulty playing archer, magic and melee before I'm happy.
So far, so good. Bow is fine up to Hell/Caves. I've got a Grandfather and a reasonable shield, with Awesome plate, so she can melee effectively enough up to Hell/Cats. Yes, I'd prefer a King's sword of Haste or Civerb's Cudgel with a fastblock shield, but we don't always get what we want
Magic is going a little more slowly. I have a Thinking Cap and had Aguinara's Hatchet but swapped it for an Archangel's Staff of somnething-or-other since the only thing I was after with the hatchet was the extra spell level (Archangel's gives two). I can't risk the TC yet, though - I've only got the durability up to 11 so far.
The thing that's really annoying me is the way Enchanted Shrines seem to hit Chain Lightning more than any other spell - that is, they knock it down.
I've been doing shrine hunts mainly because I wanted to find Hidden Shrines to increase the durability of the TC - I've only found one of them so far. But I've found about five or six Enchanted Shrines. My Fireball and Flame Wave are at a very handy lvl 14 now. But my Chain Lightning is lvl 7! Make that 'LVL7!!!', if you don't mind frustrated yelling.
Chain Lightning has been hit four times in a row. It's only lvl7 because I bought books at Adria's shack twice to restore lvls. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm getting paranoid. If I keep hitting Enchanted Shrines will I keep losing CL lvls? I feel like I'll end up at the weekend with lvl20 Fireball and lvl 2 Chain Lightning...
Any help appreciated.
Mick.
