Pandemonium Re-Equipping

[Hymn]

I believe pandemonium can be defeated by any character, if they are re-equipped the correct way. Coming from WoW, equipment is everything. I was wondering if someone who hasn't defeated pandemonium, or has and wants to try to make a strange build to do it wants to present me with a challenge, I will most likely take it.

Maybe we can work together on this project, project Blizzforums or something of that nature.


I'll throw out the first challenge, since no one else seems to have an idea on how to do it...

Create a sorceress capable of killing uber-tristram.

[AntiRush]

I believe, although this is not firsthand - that a lightning sorceress with a conviction merc has done it.

That withstanding, and in the spirit of the thread here's my idea:

An enchantress - full vita (those damn mana burn ghosts make es worthless) With seriously stacked resists via coh, stormshield, kiras, along with a robo phase with shaels + bers for the crushing blow, goblin toe boots draculs grasp (you probably won't do enough physical damage to leech but it should be tested. Stormshield (maybe ber'ed) will give you the damage reduction you need.

[Leuthesius]

Max hits per second a sorc can get is 2.5
Might as well go with this gear:

Last Wish PB (60-70%cb) (Level 11 Fade) (Might Aura) (Lifetap)
Duress (15% cb, 15%res all +30%cold)
Sanctuary Hyperion (50-70 res) FHR, C2B, FBR
Dungos (15%dr)
Gores (15% cb)
Dracs (Lifetap)
Um'd Perf Kiras (85 res) (CBF)
Raven Spiral (AR + 15 res)
Rare AR/STR ring or another Raven Spiral
Metalgrid (AR + 25-35 res)

Res:
30 Anya
Duress 15all (& +addt'l 30 cold)
50-70 Sanctuary
Kiras 85
Raven Spiral 15
Metalgrid 25-35
Fade (LW) 50+
Torch 10-20
Anni 10-20
Minimum 240-290 (fade or not)
Maximum 290-340 (fade or not)
Meph's conviction drops you by 125%
So you're looking at needing up to an additional 45-60 res to stay maxed.

Easy fix is 3 +15 res all gc's and a few sc's for good measure.

Skillset:

1 Warmth
20 Enchant (You only want it for the AR, Ignore Targets Defense doesn't QUITE apply to bosses)
1 static
1 nesis
1 port
CM 20
20 Frozen Armor (Max last)
20 Shiver Armor
20 Chilling Armor

... Never thought I'd say that for any sort of viable build.
VS Baal & Diablo use shiver.
VS Meph use Chilling for ranged

CB for this build 90-100%

Stat build:
Need 127 str for Hyperion Sanctuary
Strength
10-20 torch
10-20 anni
10-15 Dracs

Call it 55
Necessary str for char: 72.
Base 10 + 62

Dex: 136 minimum req for Phase Blade (more needed for block) (75% req for this build)
20-40 from charms
26 from Dual Ravens
20 from Sanctuary
Minimum 50 for for char
Base 25 + 25

Energy: Req base

Vitality
For level 90 char, 378 vitality + base depending on block%

Charms:
20 lifers: At least 20

Definitely a different type of sorc. I might actually do this. But I need a damned Phase LW. =/

[Hymn]

I have one if you want to build a neutral account. However I do not know if it is legit or duped.

[Leuthesius]

You on West Nonladder?
We can build a mutual account no prob. PM me. We can go in cahoots for this project. :O

[Amok]

You're right. My mf sorc has improved a lot. I think with the right gear she could take out almost anything in the game excpet for uber-tristram.

She's lvl 89

- tal ammy
- tal belt
- tal armor
- shako
- occulos/hoto (37)
- spirit
- 2x sojs
- a low torch
- natalya's boot's (lol)
- magefist

fireball damage: over 8k
meteor: 17k-17k
orb: don't really know, but it works fine and it slows down enemies

my merc has an inifinty, shame I don't use lighting skills cuz I rolled it -54 light res.

I was thinking about that nature's peace ring, wouldn't that help killing uberssince it prevents monster heal?

[Hymn]

Well the thing is, as long as your character can take out most of hell, it SHOULD be able to take out pandemonium with a bit of retooling. It wouldn't be cheap, but if its there, you should try it.

Infinity's -54% light resist only works if its on you. Sorry :\

I want to see an infinity staff, but no one has created one yet.

EDIT: nubbed myself.


I want to see a Grim Reaper Sorceress using ormus's robes w/ infinity scythe.

Expanding on this idea, I think I can create a single tree sorceress that can take out the ubers. The main problem is lack of leech correct?

This merc should take care of all the spawning baddies of uber mephisto... I think.

Act 5 Merc using a Lawbringer 2h sword w/ Dragon Armor and Kira's Circlet.

Lawbringer will effectively knock back ALL undead monsters in the area, while dragon armor will attract any damage away from you inparticular. Kiras will provide the ample resistance needed to keep him alive, as long as mephisto doesnt single him out over you. This means teleporting is a bad thing.

On equip...

Infinity Polearm - Convict Aura, -45--55% lightning resists, huge vitality bonus, Prevent Monster Heal
Ormus's Robes - +3 Lightning, 15% lightning damage, 20% FCR
Kira's Gaurdian - Cannot be frozen, 50-70% resists
Magefist or Frostburn - Various reasons, mostly lack of other decent gloves



Bleh, this characters future is already not looking good. Ah well, it was worth a shot though. It would be a nice theme character though.

[Amok]

Yeah, I suspected that -54 would only work on for my merc. There's this runeword (don't know which one) that gives -fire resist and some people give it to their mercs so they can do more fire damage, but it doesn't wokr :(

[InRage]

I've never seen a character with a scythe, maybe a druid once. If that is what a grim reaper sorc is?

[Hymn]

Well I was talking about the infinity polearm being equipped by the Sorc itself.
