Hail all,
Thanks for all the Hell suggestions. My first step into Hell should be very soon!
I've been running the Countess and Meph in Nightmare for quite a bit, and I'm finding a ton of uniques and set items.. just not ones that I can use o_O. So with no real item upgrades after a bunch of runs, I moved onto Act V NM, and I'm in the process of finishing up Nightmare difficulty. I'm doing quite well with my rune collection, so a few more runewords are looking more plausible. But I have a feeling that I'll have my runewords ready but no socket weapons to put them in. I am also currently deciding what to do with my character stat points. I have a level saved up because I'm not sure if I want to invest those points into strength for higher end gear, where as I'm surely going to need those points into vitality. Here are my current base stats:
Lvl 64
STR: 140
DEX: 115
VIT: 140
Could anyone give me some advise on my stat distrubution from here on? Remember I'm just using one handed swords with a shield. I don't want to invest too many points into Vitality and not be able to equip some decent gear. I've looked at the Arreat Summit and noticed the min. requirements for a one-handed sword is STR: 147, DEX: 136, but a lot of higher end armor pieces requires 180+ STR! I'm going to start planning my gear, but I wasn't quite sure what is realistically attainable in single-player mode. Any advice would help a lot, thanks.
*edit - This was meant to be a reply to Occhi's and Ashock's posts, so I had to change the wording a bit.
