I have a lot of various books banked at the moment, but they all require 180+ Magic, which I'm unable to get. I've spent every single level up on Vitality to maximize my skeletons and prepare for Blood Ritual. I can get maybe 150ish with Elixir and Eerie, but no more. I do have Meteor Cluster and Bl...

So I made it to Diablo again, I'm very slowly chipping him down by spamming skeletons behind him, slowing wearing him down, then...out pops a red portal and I start getting overwhelmed by minions. Then he gets Lightning Inferno and Fire Snake and I can no longer stay on top of him. I don't get this ...

Well, the only item I have that has any real Hit Recovery is Arkaine's Valor. It's still a decent armor compared to my current rare I guess, which has +7 all stats. I have yet to find any rares that have both +all res and +all stats. At this point I'd settle for +all res with hit recovery or -DFE. A...

Any advice for surviving the final floor? I am getting my ass beat in Terror's Domain. Out of eight attempts I've been put into inescapable stunlock seven times, twice by Death knights and five times by the boss in Cage 2. The ONE time I made it to the last cage to engage Diablo himself, he INSTANTL...

Do Skeletons ever gain elemental resistances like the Golem? Seems like they die really fast on Normal even though they have 300+ HP.

I'm 28 now and my minions are actually starting to become formidable. They can survive against non-elemental Hell mobs now, such as Knights and Snakes. They still get destroyed pretty easily by anything with ranged attacks, but I'm able to deal with those fairly easily. I'm not disappointed with Nec...

In any case, I would like to get the Brilliant recipe set as early as possible to combat the resistance penalties of Hell and Torment.

Speaking of which, how rare is it to find an item that has both +all stats and +resist all on it?

What level are you supposed to be for each difficulty level? I'm 28 and still in Normal, trying to get to 32 for Blood Ritual before I fight Diablo.

I would like to procure a full set of the Brilliant recipes at some point, as I want to build my gear around maximum damage reduction, and try to get +all stats and %damage to mana on the randoms.

I'd be hoping to get this by the end of Nightmare, or at the very least before Torment.

Clvl20, going okay so far, got some decent all-stat gear including a +8 ring and Regal Tabard, and some pretty beefy spells. Able to get my Magic up to 135 with equipment/elixirs, base stats are 18/33/18/128 at the moment. If I can get a decent set of Stars equipment across the board and get my all ...

I assume most classic Diablo players are familiar with the Ironman ruleset. You don't go to town to shop/refresh, or back to previous floors. Once you step down into the dungeon, you just keep going until you die, or until Diablo is dead. You survive solely off of what you find in the dungeon

What are the best places to farm for specific Uniques in Normal mode? I'd like to get my hands on a Nightsmoke, Celestial Bow, Royal Circlet and maybe Silks of the Victor.

I had a lot of trouble when I played this a year ago, and I simply could not take Diablo down no matter how hard I tried. He was nigh on immune to any spell I possessed, he slaughtered my Skeletons instantly (I was Clvl30 too) and carved into me pretty quickly as well. I just had no way of causing a...

What about Frozen Orb? Is that not a decent spell for Cold damage?

If he's not immune to Magic damage, I'll give Blood Star a try since it's a blood spell, and will be cheaper with Blood Pact.

He's immune to Holy Bolt too, and he's not supposed to be given that Holy Bolt is effective against him in vanilla Diablo. But yeah, none of my spells even do anything remotely close to feasible damage aginst him. But I'll do as you said, I'll set my spells to left-click and put my skeletons on righ...
