Rings / ammy: "blood" Crafted or gambling for rares is sometimes worth itīoots: Best you can find or "hit power" crafted Helm: Imbued pelt, "Lore" runeword on a peltĪrmor: "Smoke" runeword, "Safety" crafted Cuiress/greak haubrek, "Peace" runeword (remember if you already have something better you can ignore any piece of advice here these are just the easiest most effective things to go for each slot if its lacking) Basic recommendations on what to aim for on gear: In the end you will probably want uniques or higher runewords for everything but until you find those crafted items and low/mid runewords will fill all your gaps.ī.

Also important is keep your eyes open for good socketed items to make runewords with. If you are not familiar with it yet read up on two things for meĪ.The main approach: As you find runes / gems always think ahead of what you can craft or what runewords you can make with them. Shells good for runewords (normal items contain correct # of sockets). Flawless gems to make perf runes and ANY jewels these will be used for crafting.Į. If you finish a run with nothing good dropping grab best selling items like wands staffs and armors that will net 35k. Also check blue amulets circlets and pelts.Ĭ.

Check all uniques rares and sets for improvements on existing gear you are wearing. ANY rune you dont have 1 of and always anything higher than a sol, certain runes you will want more of to craft with but ill go into that later.ī.

Countess for runes, mephisto for uniques, baal for good drops / xp, cows for everything else.Ī. Nm Countess, Cow lvl, mephisto, n baal runs are the best things to do. But this also depends on if you've used all of your respecs, if you don't have two left then you won't be able to return to melee spec even if you want to. I won't tell you to go one way or another just asking you to think about it. I know your currently geared as a fury druid but honestly respeccing to a wind spec (max nado, huri, oak sage, cyc arm, twister) will make hell much easier even with current gear due to being A: less gear dependent for dmg and B: having multiple dmg source types (cold/physical) which is important for hell. you should ask yourself though is do I wan't to stay as a fury druid for the moment. I've rushed up from start of ladder many times with no starting gear in hc pretty successfully so I'll just get you started with a quick guideįIRST THING: Decide on char type. D2 is very gear dependent especially for hell difficulty.
