A Warrior Destined For Hell

[Occhidiangela]

Enjoy your Barb...... while you can.
Edit: I was looking at your post about gear. Here's something to keep in mind. It is nice that you had the runes to upgrade your normal exceptional sword. To upgrade to elite, you need an UM. GL getting that in SP. If you do get it, I suggest saving it for a rare with at least +280% damage. You might have a chance then... or not.

With you current sword, you are probably thinking that if your upgrades jump in quality between Nite and Hell like they jumped between Norm and Nite, you do not see how many think that this is so difficult. Life is good now and you do not see how it will get *that* much worse.
It will.

The gap.

A number of folks talk about "the gap" between decent weapons and truly devastating weapons. What he needs is an ethereal Phase Blade (not a common drop) with at the least five sockets, with which to make Honor. That is a low end rune word, comparatively, against which to smash up the Hell Critters to whom patch 1.10 gave a healthy HP bonus. While the Synergies helped the spell casters in some ways, they seemed to me to do less for the non spell casters, unless one had specific (+200% damage to demons, for example on top of healthy damage stats) weapons, or specific hard to make rune words.

As badly as SP and MP diverged before 1.10, the split got worse in 1.10. The synergistic effects of even one partner with a merc is profoundly manifested in 1.10.
