Finding Stuff

[shavenlunatic]

Right, im pretty much a D2 n00b, ive got a lvl 78 barb and thats it, never had another character and only installed a month or so ago.

I just want to ask.. as im not sure where im going wrong... is why my barb still sucks at suck a high level???

Ive built him ok imo, 20 in sword mastery, and frenzy, 15 in ww, bit of NR... (these numbers are just approximate guesses but u get the picture)

Ive got plenty of life and mana steal so thats not the issue... ive basically had to put it down to crap equipment (2 swords, approx 150-500 total damage on my better sword)

NOW, ive heard that doing runs at mephisto usually gives some decent equipment spoils.. but ive done more than i care to imagine (on NM level) and then went on to kill D and then harass baal.. still im stuck with a mediocre armor (380 def), sigons boots + belt and 2 swords not worth spit...

ive got around 120% magic find on when im doing these runs.. so why oh why after hundreds of meph runs am i still running around with crap equipment and getting slaughtered as soon as i go onto hell?? :(


any help or advice will be mucho grande appreciated.. cheers
