[iso] veteran slash consulting - character/item evaluation

HELP

So heres my current dealio:

I have x2 characters im running right now - a lightning sorc and smiter paladin. I should have made a bo barb but was frankly too lazy to level it up, even though it doesnt take all too long when all is said and done..

My plan from the start was to farm keys and run ubers. I kitted out my paladin pretty early and the only real upgrades i could use are a better shield (151 upped hoz), armor (GA) and a bunch of sc's. I got pretty lucky on my sorc and found a -20/11 griffons. Paired with a crescent moon, I've been impressed with the damage she puts out.

Now, I really want to make an infinity for her but I dont have very deep pockets so I'm wondering if its worth sacrificing my griffs or trading my sorc torch (14/17) in order to do so. I do have a jah on hand that I can swap for a ber.

I guess my question is, is it worth for me to give up the griffons to make an infinity? Or should i continue to grind out with what I got and finagle my way up to another ber to make infinity? I'm linking my mules here so you can kind of get an idea of what I'm working with.

I could dump my torches on the cheap and try to squeeze every little bit of value out of my stash but I'm not sure if its worth the effort. The veteran slash players all know what theyre doing and how to work the market and seem to have a game plan out of the gate in order to build their currency. I'm curious as what you would do in this situation? Yeah "rng is rng" but "diablo economy" knowledge plays just as big, if not more, of a roll into a successful slash campaign. Two weeks into the ladder and I feel I've been extremely lucky with some of drops I've had, but I feel I'm not focusing on the right tasks in order to reach my end goal.

To throw another wrench in, I'm considering ditching the ubers and using this jah to make an enigma and convert to HDin. Then perhaps I'll be able to run chaos more efficiently and then get lucky enough to make an infinity? idk... i need suggestions.

My advice would be keep the -20 griff. Trade your Jah for a Ber and you are one Ber drop from infinity. You can go for 200fcr lite sorc, it's pretty fun (drop the cmoon for Hoto or you can even do 3/20 echutas if you have the resists already).

It's rough playing lite sorc before infinity so you can use a token to switch to cold for the time being and farm AT or Chaos.

You can always make a hammerdin later in the season but not necessarily going to get another -20 griffs without paying a fortune....but in the end it is up to what you really want to do.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a 200 fcr sorc. Hitting that 117 bp is such an amazing difference though so I can imagine 200 is even more fun. Thanks for your input.

Trade that jah for a ber (or close to it), level a BO Barb, switch sorc to blizz, seal glitch chaos until you find the other ber.

You likely wont get another shot at a 20 griffs unless you buy one. i doubt you would be able to get it for less than ber. And blizz sorc can very easily farm chaos efficiently enough

Aye, working on the barb now.. it’s just a chore that ya gotta force your way through but it’s always for the better in the end.

Keep everything.

Farm arcane ghosts no light immunity there 4 lanes

I’ve developed a habit of hitting packs of ghosts whenever I see them bc of the “no treasure class” thing or whatever they’re classified as that makes them more likely to drop a rune but I’ve never focused them specifically in runs. Maybe a nice little change of pace every once in a while.

The thing about arcane is making sure they’re over the floor or else they don’t drop anything

it takes alot of time in arcane 4-7 min avg run depends on ur gear and setup

w/ infinity the pain in the ass is the delay time w/ conviction aura popping up, literally have to wait for your damage output to spike. I did that trade once b/w griff for infinity and regretted it immediately

if i were you, i'd gear up a cowzon w/ the griffs and just destroy it, find a ber in no time

I did just make a necro to run cows specifically. Attract + CE clears insanely fast. Coupled with the fact necros are incredibly easy to gear, I’m pretty much already good to go on one.

FYI - bonewall also has a ridiculously huge aggro range to pull the cows in.

I hadn’t considered that. Good perspective

Sell the sorc torch and whatever else you can to make an enigma for the hdin and just bash Chaos then sell the enigma and whatever else you find for an infinity.

Yeah, this was my “well shit, I could just do this..” alternate consideration.

#1 dont sell griffens.

#2 sell storch get ber and make enigma.

#3 run glyph chaos for ber ber, get infinity

#4.create javazon with infinity griffens and enigma. Way more fun imo than either sorc or hammerdin. Lightning fury so satisfying.
