I gave away all of my accounts before I quit so I am starting out completely fresh. I made a sorc and am currently up to level 78 and have started doing some Meph runs for items and a few countess runs for runes. I'd like to start trading for some new gear but it seems like people only want hacked items now. Is it even worth holding on to "legit" items, even the ones that would be good without the hacked items? Am I basically on my own equipment-wise now? I don't want to use hacked items but I'd like to start getting some decent items and its kind of hard without trading. Has anyone else here restarted fresh and has some advice they can give me?
My second question is about IG thorns. I'd like to make a Necro and my favorite build was always IG+AD along with Bone Spear, Spirit, a few other curses(LR, confuse, attract), and CE. I know the act 2 mercs Might Aura affects the IG's thorns but I am not sure by how much when figured with AD and hell difficulty. I figure the AD adds 100% but what level is the mercs aura and does it just add to the 100%? I've heard thorns are cut in damage in Hell difficulty. How much is the penalty here? ....On a side note, does Might affect CE damage?
Finally, about the necro's spells, I've heard LR no longer affects magic resistance, meaning it no longer affects the necro's spells. I think that might have been in reference to 1.10. Is that true, and if so is it likely to stay that way?
Thanks for any replies and if you have any other tidbits of info about major changes in the game over the past few years please feel free to share them.
