Re: Help my druid
Is it possible to wear every single item with 0 in str and dex at the end? Why not put the few points you have to spare in those to make it easier to wear equipment while you are leveling up untwinked? What is a few vitality going to do as you level up anyway?

Re: Help my druid
You can't put all your points in vitality anyways, as the highest base vitality the game will let you keep after saving is 1023.

very agreed. indeed, if you are playing a bloodzon or sorceress, you could even spend all points equally to each stat. of course it wouldn't make much sense, but it would be viableSkivverus";p="370038" wrote:A very good question, to which I personally think the answer is "not much" - then again, I'm rather biased in favor of low-vitality builds, perhaps due to playing mostly softcore. 200 points in strength does make those diamonds go a lot farther though.
btw, is the 1023-cap reached with or without +flat-stat-bonus from equipment?
btw, why not continueing this discussion in the new forums? we should try stop posting here.

Re: Help my druid
Strange... I could of swore I had a base vita on my paladin of 1040 or 1050 once and it saved fine despite being above 1023.

Re: Help my druid
Without Dark King... I just did a further test with a certain mod tolerant character editor. Set base energy on a necro to 2500 and it saved just fine. It must mean the base stats save field size are atleast 12 bits.

Re: Help my druid
Hmm... I guess I recalled incorrectly this time. Just tried it myself with my beta barb, 1150 vitality stayed the same after reloading.
Base life is caped at around 8190 though, so for a barbarian for example investing more than 790 points in vitality has limited usefulness.
(Life before S&E: 24594. After reloading: 21713.)
Edit: Should apply to mana/energy as well. Amounts required to hit these cap varies for different chars.
For a druid, the 986th point invested in vitality would hit the base life cap (assuming you've done the potion quests).

Re: Help my druid
I am clvl 87 now, so I'll guess I'll try Fauz uberquest soon... I still can't kill anything, but I guess now could be a good time to ask, so that I know in advance: what would you recommend for really top of the notch gear?
I looked at sets and uniques and rwords and got a feeling that rwords are the best, but I would like to hear your opinion. Also, what would be an optimal distribution of stat points? Some of you speak of placing (almost) everything to vita, is that actually possible?
And the most important, what weapon would you recommend to a lvl 90 char taking Fauz challenge who has almost base str and dex? From clvl 70 to now I almost didn't shoot at all... Just summoned Fiends What do you think is the best merc for this build? I found the Shapeshifter to be ok, at least he doesn't die easily.
edit: and btw what is in your opinion the best build for uberquests/levels? I read the guides, but they are mostly obsolete.

Way to generalise every character slot. Also remember runewords don't have sockets.Rainalkar";p="370486" wrote:I looked at sets and uniques and rwords and got a feeling that rwords are the best, but I would like to hear your opinion.
The best one you have access to, I guess. Unless you're cheating, you can't really count on having Unique X or Rune Y.Rainalkar";p="370486" wrote:And the most important, what weapon would you recommend to a lvl 90 char taking Fauz challenge who has almost base str and dex?
Most importantly, the 'best' merc and items and stats are those you have fun with. If you like to trigger lots of fire with Ryuuseiu Kyanon and think Necrolyte mercs are cute, feel free to use them.
