Chain Lightning

[arrunique]

I do want to stress that even though I felt like a tank, if got surrounded by the right pack of monsters, such as gloams, I was reduced in mana and vitality in the wink of an eye. Thus is life in 1.1 Hell for all builds.

My lightning sorc wore tgods for the 20 lightning absorb (and extra strength to wear stormshield). If I ever teleported into a gloam pack my mana instantly dropped to 0 from energy shield and I couldnt potion it up because I was constantly being bolted. My absorb and resists meant they didnt actually hurt me but since I couldn't regain mana I was stuck until my pokey merc trundled along and took out enough that I could quickly throw down a rejuv and port out of there. The real danger was in a combo pack of gloams and invaders/assailants or frenzytaurs. That was pretty much the only way I could be killed.

For the record I think a fanat extra fast assailant is the most dangerous monster in the game. Duriel hits like a wuss compared to him. Come to think of it extra fast is the most dreaded boss attribute for me in hell.
