1.57 release?

[k']

I intend to spend my hobby time in buildin a melee sorc and to take my time with it, i read that laz add some new skills for sorc(electrobank?), my question is to know aproximativly the release date of 1.57 cuz i don't want waste my time in some builds if most skills are strongly change. By the way thanx for all the job you make laz.

[oneillz808]

well then dont make that build if you dont want to waste your time. the last deadline he made was like, weeks after.

make another build.

[k']

The point is i want to make this build, by the way i didn't knew you work with laz on median?

[oneillz808]

well then make the build if you wanna make it. i suggested that you didnt because you SAID that you didnt want to waste your time.

oh by the way, i dont work with brother laz on median.

Irony?

[oneillz808]

wheres the irony. i dont see it.

if youre talking about the deadline, its because he tells us here on the forum, and i was here during that time.

oh but wait, you obviously didnt know that so THATS why it must be irony.

[k']

Nevermind my request was for laz not for you to be honest, if i have no response of him , i'll take the bet and try this fun lookin melee sorc.

[oneillz808]

thats good for you! i recommend searching for the warmage sets once you can farm the ubers in destruction. i think they have the retaliate oskill.

[k']

Which skills you suggest before gettin bladestorm? I intend to use coldblood but it won't be enough.

[oneillz808]

yeah coldblood would not be enough. its very good for freezing and for using up corpses though.

i suggest vortex as that skill does not have synergies except energy of course and its just the best lightning skill that there ever was. flamestrike for those stationary [although vortex is good too when you have experience with it, just that flamestrike is REALLY accurate and stuff]

mage armor is a max of course, but dont rely on it that your sorceress will become a supertank. so i guess max mana sweep and also max hex [because of its physical synergy] but mana sweep will be last as you will not be doing any physical damage at all unless you are using normal attack.

[pza]

cataclysm, for example. play her as if she was a normal elemental sorc. you'll be probably needing an elemental skill anyways. a very good option is also vortex. my favourite, to tell the truth. if you're planning to use warmage's helmet, you could also max meteor shower, 'cause it's a nice skill and at the same time you'll be maxing the synergy to flamestrike which you'll be casting when killing enemies with that helmet.

Hum ty nice advices, for weapon i intended to gamble the unik crystal sword, is there better on runewords?

[oneillz808]

oh DEFINITELY.

my personal favorite; victory. but you wont have that until in the high levels...

let me go check the website...

tir el - all weapons, use it for titan strike
el ort - all weapons, use it for its life leech and bloodlust
thul ith ith - its got fire and cold spell damage, stun attack, and bloodstar
shael sol - timestrike and life leech
shael pul pul - early retaliate skill
pul mal amn - ONE HUNDRED PERCENT chance for pain spirit
amn vex ist - for its vanquish, but its ELEMENTAL damage to vanquish

[oneillz808]

your welcome ^.^

that was just a small taste, but im sure youd find your own.

for leveling up, i suggest things that add to spell damage since youll be using spells a lot. have a stave on switch for its super fast cast rating.

get gear that has a HIGH chance of CTC. dont even THINK about using items with low or useless cts. by useless i mean things like cold fear or summons on striking.

i have no clue why our brother even PUT that in when it doesnt even work.

Cuz laz is median's ubergod?Cuz laz got the last soulstone form baal?

[oneillz808]

lol.

i think laz is an atheist, but i wouldnt want to go in that direction. i believe that he is the ubergod. and laz definitely got that last soulstone from baal. otherwise, there wouldnt be as many bugs and flaws thats so apparent in this mod.

here's an idea for melee sorc but it costs much in terms of equipment.

1. you'll need some stuff from sorc melee set, you'll need enough to cast bloodlust on kill and to have retaliate.
2. there's a shield runeword that has frozen soul ctc on striking, i think.
3. max all synergies for frozen soul, ie. max cold blood, 20 points in frozen crown.
4. get yourself that sacred unique sorc armour that has unholy armour oskill
5. max mana sweep for hex synergy

except for the damn expensive equipment, the good thing is you don't have to invest in mana


anyways, now you have yourself a MELEE sorc with lots of physical dmg and only thing you have to cast is hex (eventually slow spell, if you take it)

i'm gonna try this one when i get all the stuff i need (and then i'll probably report that it's no good. but till then, enjoy)

As everyone working with software (except Flagship) knows, you can't set a deadline on bugfixes. And missing an arbitrary deadline makes other people angry.

It is very close to release, and I'm in the process of fixing bugs at the moment, but because of feature creep due to player demands (the Useless-Build-Of-The-Month™ bash threads), it may take a few days longer.

Don't worry, I'll go to hell, but if I understand God's message correctly, so will you.

As the saying goes, 'de beste stuurlui staan aan wal' (the best chief mates can be found on land'). That and half of the important bugs are Blizzard's fault.

[oneillz808]

poppy, that runeword is a shield runeword truth, nef el. i remember you said that in another thread, you should really remember what it is xD ^.^

im thinking that you should wear on-struck items now, since the sorceress is just a walking TANK [literally.] ya noe.

well who the HECK brought up these threads about these dumb builds ANYWAY. geez, this is not project runway where you can 'make it work' keep those builds private and out of the publics eye because it is a complete failure. we WANT laz to patch and UPDATE the mod, not delay it for some failure builds.

darn, i probably shouldve mentioned that i was an atheist [or what was that other thing that believes in something, but isnt an atheist].
because im SO scared of karma and higher beings.

The melee sorc is 1 of the most fascinatin builds out there.It reminds me bard of hellfire :)Thanx for all advices .

[Skeleon]

or what was that other thing that believes in something

A pagan?

It is very close to release

That's good news.
I'm really intrigued what smaller changes you put into the patch. Sure, most of the talk is about the new skills, but I'm actually more interested in changes in the old ones, like Ancient Strike and Retribute and whatnot.
