Pre-emptively said, Fen, but so I must. A few things:
Don’t put a lot in mana. Please. Anything you put into mana you can’t put into vit or dex, which are where you live.
Work on that novasorc. Do lots of NM countess runs, or Hell if you can handle those (it’s cool if you’d rather do NM). Make powerful runewords, advance us all:)
I can make Lionheart. I just have to know what armor you want it in.
I’m up to level 20 and didn’t put a single point into Mana. I learned my lesson last time. What I’ve put in, I’ve dumped into DX, and ST to use the bows I need. Hence the need for frostburns. 
I’ve been busting butt on the novasorc, but needed a break, hence the Bowazon.
:eek: Um. I still got that Archon armor. If it were socketed, would that work? Or were you saving that for yourself? If not, I’ll try to find something worthwhile to put it in! Thanks!
BTW: did you know (I’m sure you did) how quickly a sorc can do Countess and Baal runs using Teleport??? I just did about 5 (Baal was dropping decently in normal–I got a Manald Heal and a Nagelung(?) along with a couple of other goodies) and a bunch of mid-level runes from the countess.
The Archon armor needs 3 sockets for Lionheart. Make sure whoever you mean to wear it has the str. I have superior Dusk Shroud in one stash with 3 sockets, too. I don’t right now have the time to look up what sockets the Archon would get in norm/nm/hell.
And yes, I did know how fast a sorc can do those runs. 's why I told you to:D
Um. The Sorc has suffered a setback. Sunnvoabitch. 
:mad:
It’s a long, ugly tale, which I’ll relate in the other Diablo thread.
Gawddamnit.
Yeah, got one of those myself. It’s tasty.
Sure, I’m on USEast w/ ‘fluiddruid2’ as my ladder acct. Do you have anything much to trade? As I said I’m a rune hound. Also I love collecting sets and jewels. Nice charms, too.
Depends on what build. Mono-elemental sorcs, particularly fire, have problems with Countess. Otherwise it should be pretty quick. I can do Countess awfully fast even without teleport; everything in there is low HPs.
Baal…well, Hell Baal is a royal pain in the ass. I wouldn’t recommend teleporting, as from what I understand it’s very difficult to do without dying. Even in groups, I feel Hell Baal is overrated. You can run Mephisto much more easily with a sorc (particularly fire sorcs) and there’s only a few things that Baal can drop that Meph can’t.
I myself run Andariel and occasionally Countess with my elemental druid; Andariel really doesn’t drop poorly at all. Not good for a sorc really because of the poison and your hp’s, but her resistances are awfully low. And she dropped a shako for me on the second try, so I’m biased. 
Well, I don’t have nearly as much as Voltaire or punha, but here goes…
I have:
Hwanin’s set
Tearhaunch boots
Goblintoe boots
Deathbit and The Scalper throwing weapons
Magewrath bow
+1 ammys for Assasins and Pallys
a 35% mf ammy for Vol if he wants it
Nosferatu’s Coil belt
Viscerant Defender Shield
IK War Gauntlets
Rare Coronet, +2 to barb skills, +22 str, 27% lit res, 5% mana steal
Baezil’s Vortex Knout
15% IAS, +7 Max dam jewel
Coldkill Hatchet
Assorted Pgems and low runes (Ko is highest, then shael and 2 sols)
Anything else is something I’m using.
I’d love Nosferatu’s Coil, but I don’t know if I have anything I could trade for it.
Other stuff for trade - IK boots, Natalya’s boots, Silkweaves, Waterwalks, 17 percent Nagelring, +3 combat skills Pally amulet. Two Steeldrivers, Infernal wand (+1 necro skills).
Oh, and +3 shapeshifting skills helm. Couldn’t have been +3 elemental, oh nooooo.
If you’d like Nos’ Coil, it’s yours when I see you.
My accounts run from Numbnut to Numbnut4 on USEast.
Great! I added you to my friends list, so I’ll keep an eye out for you.
Also, IK belt also now available if anyone needs.
I might be interested in that shapeshifting helm. IIRC, I’m running a +2 skills right now, so it may or may not benefit me, ya know?
I hope to be on tonight for a bit: Stringfelowhawk, lvl41 heavy on bear&maul and oak sage.
I have a razortail for anyone who happens to be interested in it. Would be good for a bowazon of any type b/c of the piercing attack.
I should be on sometime tonight, but if not I’ll be on now and again for the next couple of weeks. After that I’ll be on more.
Found Rockstopper yesterday… I’m not sure if I’m going to be using it or not. I’ll have to see… but if anyone really needs the resists, just let me know and I’ll give it up.
thinksnow: It depends, but for me (elemental) I’m much better off with +3 elemental than +2 to all skills, as I only use summoning a bit, and frankly the bear has enough hps and I don’t care about his damage. So, let me know.
Who_me?: I’m watching for you, but I play very late at night due to my work schedule. I’m off Fridays and Saturdays though, I will keep an eye out for you.
Man…
I am so close to getting a Shadow Killer for my assassin! This guy has one and is very close to giving it to me for a razortail! I thought he already had one, but I showed him everything else and he wasn’t interested! Then he says that the Hwain’s belt is good!? So I show him the Razortail and sell it a bit. He’s thinking about it and will let me know soon. Bastard better say yes! 
I gave the Rockstopper to Fenris after he said he needed resists.
I’m usually on in the early evening and off-line early due to having to get up at 4:30, but I may be on late tomorrow because I’m not going out for New Year’s eve (disclaimer: as far as I know, but this can change without notice when she starts yelling)
Just to give this a bump one time to see if this thread survives…
I still have a Nats armor for you MDSL if you need/want it.
If someone has an extra, I’m looking for a couple of items.
A gull dagger, ethereal is just as good as not.
Chance Guard gloves
I’m trying to get my Magic Find as high as I can, I don’t know how my necro will perform in hell with no plusses at all, but I want to give it a shot in solo games.
Sure, sure. I’ll take some asn armor. I’m pretty colse to having the whole set now. I only lack the claw.
Thing is, I have the shadow killer (which is as good as advertised) and the jade Talon which is very solid.
Nat’s Claw had better add some good stuff to make up for the loss.
My Paladin has amassed a whole bunch of unrelated and non-Paladiny set pieces, along with some other good stuff:
Trang-Oul’s Wing
Aldur’s Advance
Sander’s Folly
Sander’s Riprap
Hwanin’s Blessing
Hwanin’s Justice (or whatever the Bill is called)
Natalya’s Totem
IK Helmet
Saigon’s Belt
Whistan’s Guard
Haemosu’s Adamant (two of these)
Naj’s Circlet
Tal Rasha’s Lidless Eye
2 Bloodletters (1 +1/+2, 1 +3/+4)
Wyrmskull
The Face of Horror
Goldwrap
Kuko Shakkaku (Zons: is this any good?)
Bonesnap
Bing Sz Wang
Boneslayer Blade
Amulet of 24% mf, +2 shapeshifting, +14% fire resist
Amulet of +1 druid skills and +28% fire resist
Amulet of +3 elemental skills and +(3/4 your level) mana
Rare Wand of +1 necro skills and some other stuff
Rare Chu-ko-nu: 53 average damage, 4% life leech, l25 required
Grand charm of +1 combat skills (Barbarian)
Amn
Dol
Thul x3
Miscellaneous perfect gems
I want:
A nice elite weapon to put Honor in; I’m thinking Colossus Sword since I can just do the socketing quest and automatically have the right number of sockets, but I’m open to alternatives.
Lem, Ko, and a nice 3-socket armor to make Wealth out of (I have a Templar Coat right now, but it’s not something I could see myself taking into Hell).
Gull
Vampire Gaze
Saigon’s Boots and Armor
Infernal Cranium
Naj’s Light Plate
A high-damage one-handed weapon. I don’t care about the details; normal speed or better is fine but I’m looking for at least 130 average damage before strength. Life leech, resists, elemental damage &c are nice but not necessary. A quick pass through Arreat’s Summit suggests that pretty much any elite unique would do.
