Energy shield sorceress guide 1.12
Energy shield: Absorbs magical and some physical damage to mana instead of life.
What i see a lot if a hybrid mix of sorcs and they have energy shield. Mostly they just probably put 1 point in it or so. This is the biggest waste of points ever. First energy shield needs to be at lvl 40 to absorb 95% of the damage you take and it goes to mana. Energy sorcs is by far the best dueling sorc type build.
Another important factor in energy shield to stay alive: Each point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield's damage absorption more effective. By default, for each point of damage absorbed by Energy Shield, 2 mana points are deducted - a 200% ratio. Each hard skill point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield 6.25% more effective. For example, with 8 points in Telekinesis, 1.5 mana points are deducted for each point of damage absorbed - a 150% ratio. With 16 points in Telekinesis, one point of damage absorbed equals one point of mana loss - a 100% ratio.
So therefore you maxing out telekinesis will mostly save your life in pvp or pvm
Stats:
Strength:None or enough to wear items
Dexterity :None or some people try to reach max block you can do that too but i found that it waste too much stat points
Vitality:None since you are gonna be take 95% of your damage that goes to mana life if not as important.
Energy:All or rest of points go here this is almost your secondary life orb.
Skills: there are many options you can go with for an energy shield sorceress
eg:Lightning/Es Fire/ES and so on....
First is the lightning/Es
This is probably the most easy one.
Max out Skills: Telekinesis Lightning(+ the synergies)
Skills to get: teleport Energy shield will depend of what you wear to achieve lvl 40 energy shield. So im not putting energy shield as a max out skill. Basically after lvl 40 the absorb does not raise just the duration. So once you have energy shield at 40 max out the synergy
Put 1 point into warmth for faster mana recovery.
Equipment:
Helm: Griffons eye shako
Armor:Chains of honor low strength requirement
Weapon: Eschutas temper 3 lite 20%lite dam or 35%spirit
Shield: Spirit 35%
Gloves: Frostburn 40% mana
Boots:Sandstorm trek Fhr strength and vita
Amulet: Mara rare amulet with skills fcr and other mods
Rings:2 soj = 50%more mana
Belt: Spider.
Inventory: 9x lite gcs with mods 12%fhr lifers etc...
10 lifer/mana sc. 20lifer 17 mana
Sorc torch and anni.
Fire Energy Shield ES Sorceress
Stats
Strength - None.
Dexterity - None or add Dexterity until you reach 75% block
Energy - All or rest of points
Vitality - None.
Skills:
20 - Fire Ball
20 - Fire Bolt
20 - Fire Mastery
20- Telekinesis
1 - Warmth
1 - Teleport
Again same here with energy shield. Depending on your Equipment you can tell how many points you need into energy shield. Which needs to be at lvl 40 for 95% absorb.
Equipment:
Helm: Shako with a 5/5 Fire Rainbow Facet
Armor: Chains of Honor
Gloves: Frostburns for 40% mana
Shield: The Spirit Monarch
Belt: Arachnid Mesh
Boots: Ethereal or non ethereal Sandstorm Trek
Weapon: 20% Fire Damage Eschuta's Temper 3 skills
Amulet/Rings: 30% Mara's and 2x SOJs.
Inventory:
Depending if you have reach 40 in energy shield you should use lite gcs if you have so just get fire gcs and lifer/mana sc sorc torch and anni.

Diablo 2 Auradin Holyshock Holyfire hybrid Build 1.12 PVP Fire Auradin Lightning Auradin
STACKING, stacking is in another post check it out
AND WE START:
The paladin has a base stats:
Strength:25
Dexterity:20
Vitality:25
Energy: 15
You can say that the paladin is pretty good with base stats
****Suggested Stats****
Strength:Enough to wear gear using anni sc pally torch. Strength Glitch helps also with enigma
Dexterity:Enough for Max Block 75% depends on lvl of char also. Below is a little strategy for blocking.
Blocking
When building a character you will have to decide whether block rates or vitality are more important. Personally, when I build a caster such as a Necro I put everything into vitality to make my character more effective caster vs. caster. However, when you do this you run the risk of being less effective vs. melee classes. This is a decision you will need to make each time you build a character.
Block% = (Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)
Based on this formula, you will need 225 Dex (with all of you equipment on) at level 99 to get 75% block. You can increase your block % with an Eld rune in your shield (7% increased block). This can help you avoid spending so many points in Dexterity. Paladins can use holy shield to get 75% block (and they have the highest natural block rates as well). A good way to determine how much Dexterity to add, is wait until your character is fully equipped (including an Annihilus charm) and add points to Dexterity until your block rate is 75%. Don't look at your shield to determine your block rate, look at your character screen (that shows your character stats) and let your cursor hover over your defense. It will tell you your % chance to block.
Vitality:Most essential every extra point here.
Energy:Leave as base energy is not essential best leave it alone can get stats from equipment.
Items:
Helmet: Dream helmet Bone visage etc..
Amulet: Maras, 2 def seraphs.
Rings: Soj, Bk ring, strength FCR(faster cast rate ring)
Armor: Dragon(low strength requirement) Dusk Archon
Shield: Dream Shield(pally shield with mods 45 res etc.)
Weapon: HOJ(Hand of justice) phase blade berserker axe
Gloves:Bloodfist(FHR)
Belt:Spiderweb sash verdungos 15% DR
Boots:Sandstorm Trek
Skills.
Max out skills:
Resist Fire
Resist Lightning
Conviction
Recommended skills:
Holy shield- for blocking reduction of dexterity use
Charge- Basically your secondary attack
'Salvation
Inventory:
Charms: The usual Anni P torch
20 lifers sc, 5%fhr sc 5 resistances sc
a mixture of those are good.
Resistances: The more the better. Anya scrolls every time you die in a game you minus 30 resistances. Or how many times you rescued anya in hell nightmare or normal difficulty.
This is basically a rough draft of a guide if i missed anything or something of that sort please note it or email me.

Diablo 2 auradin glitch stack
To stack: Before you can stack you need a couple of items in perticular below is a list.
1. Dream shield
2. Dream helmet
Stacking works every time a trade fails. You can either stack yourself with a d2 loader or a friend.
To stack you need 2 characters to abbreviate this we will use X and Y
Character X is the main character equipped with Dream shield and helmet
Character Y is 2nd character with a full inventory. You can use a potion or scroll.
1.Character X asks Character Y to trade
2.Character X puts item (potion or scroll) in trade screen accept trade Since character Y's inventory is full the trade fails. Repeat as ofter as you want.
***though i hear that the most you can stack your self is 70 times or something in that nature. Cant confirm it yet.
Any questions just email :]

Diablo 2 Bug Rush Guide
is extremely useful if you have d2 loader(there is another section explaining how to get d2 loader.
First you need to rush your new starting character to act 5. Then when you are in act 5 you can create or join a game(baal for quest games) and you would need a lvl 25(for normal diff) for nightmare its lvl40 for hell its lvl60 or higher and you(the new character needs to create the game) which enables you both to get baals quest.
pretty simple you either need friends to help you or use d2 loader.
The advantages of bug rush is that you can hell chaos and get lots of experience though. Some disadvantages are the lvls 20-24 are pretty slow. Another is dying so its a constant battle to stay alive especially the levels 20-24 where exp comes slower that other lvls.

How to get rich in diablo 2
*******ANOTHER WAY********
KEYS TERROR HATE AND DESTRUCTION KEYS ARE A FAST WAY TO GET RICH
Keys can only be found in HELL DIFFICULTY and specific bosses: THE COUNTESS(ACT1 BLACK MARSH) THE SUMMONER(ACT 2 ARCANE SANCTUARY)
AND NIHLATHAK(ACT 5 HALLS OF PAIN)
ITS UNBELIVALBLE HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR KEYS.
KEYS ARE PRETTY EASY TO FIND CHANCES ARE 1/34 A KEY WILL DROP.
When mfing remeber that speed is a key factor to finding good items. Remember that who you are mfing will affect your drops. The main bosses Andariel Mephisto are key bosses. Diablo and Baal are another option but with the time it takes for a run its probably not worth it. The decision is yours. A good Monster/semi boss to MF is PINDLESKIN. PINDLESKIN drops anything from COA to good charms and such
*Such drops from Andariel as unique rings and gheed fortune grand charm.
*Mephisto nearly drops anything.
*Baal Diablo drops nearly anything.
*Pindleskin: Drops nealy anything
My Routine for mfing and key hunting:(i dont have space in my inventory so i carry tps on my belt so i try to conserve as many as possible.
First MEPHISTO, then enter portal to act 4, goto act 5 kill PINDLESKIN and then NIHLATHAK
cast tp and goto act 2 arcane for SUMMONER then act 1 ANDARIEL AND COUNTESS.
ADDITIONAL TIPS: should do this when your bored i see so many pub games saying bored and im bored. Listen to your music makes it more fun and a little something to enjoy
Well this is my guide hope it helps you. You can always email me about questions and comments!
thanks for reading :]
Diablo 2 1.12 smiterdin guide build
First we look at the overview of building a smiter. The Smite Paladin can be effective vs. all classes except hammerdins and some Druids/ Necros. It is important to recognize that in 1.11 life leech does not work PVP, unless life tap is cast on the opponent. That is why many Smiters like the Exile runeword and Dracul's Grasp; both items give a % to cast life tap on striking. Aside from the life leech change (i.e. that it no longer works), DR (Damage Reduction) is now capped at 50%. Items with high life leech and damage reduction, such as the 1.08 Vampire Gaze, have dramatically fallen in value because they are now worthless in PVP. In 1.11, Smite Paladins are the champions of melee dueling; with Exile 45,000+ defense is possible and Smite can't miss (AR doesnt matter--unlike Whirlwind or Zeal). Only the best Barbarians have a chance vs. a well played Smite Paladin (Zeal Paladins are hopeless vs. a good Smite Paladin). Its easy and can be for beginners. The smiter is a well known character in the game. Smiters can usually go up against anything in PVP or PVM mainly uber tristram. Smite does not require AR(attack rating) but a key factor in having a good smiter is FHR%(faster hit recovery). Below is a table about FHR.
FHR Rates
The following chart shows FHR plateaus for each class in FPS (there are 25 Frames Per Second). Each rate shown is the minimum for the respective FPS recovery rate. I.E. Any amount of FHR anywhere in-between is useless. I am displaying this because good FHR is critical in PVP and it can save your life in PVM too.
| Character / Mercenary | Weapon | Faster Hit Recovery (FHR)- Frame Rates | |||||||||||||||

We get started.
The paladin has a base stats:
Strength:25
Dexterity:20
Vitality:25
Energy: 15
You can say that the paladin is pretty good with base stats
****Suggested Stats****
Strength:Enough to wear gear using anni sc pally torch. Strength Glitch helps also with enigma
Dexterity:Enough for Max Block 75% depends on lvl of char also. Below is a little strategy for blocking.
Blocking
When building a character you will have to decide whether block rates or vitality are more important. Personally, when I build a caster such as a Necro I put everything into vitality to make my character more effective caster vs. caster. However, when you do this you run the risk of being less effective vs. melee classes. This is a decision you will need to make each time you build a character.

Don't look at your shield to determine your block rate, look at your character screen (that shows your character stats) and let your cursor hover over your defense. It will tell you your % chance to block.
Vitality:Most essential every extra point here.
Energy:Leave as base energy is not essential best leave it alone can get stats from equipment.
******SKILLS******
Skills are pretty straight forward.
20 - Smite
20 - Fanaticism
20 - Holy Shield
20 - Defiance
1 - Salvation (no prereqs required)
1 point in each prereq
*******ITEMS******
Items will be described in class rich med.
First rich class:
Helm: 2xber Crown of ages.
Armor: Low strength enigma(Mage plate, Archon plate)
Gloves: Draculs Grasp or Blood Fist
Shield: A high defense ethereal Exile with resistants/ Spirit
Belt: 15% DR Verdungo with 40 vitality
Boots: Imp Shanks Chain boots(yes i still have a pair)
Weapon: High dam and high increase attack speed Grief/ 6 Bo CTA
Rings Amulets:Mara's Kalaidescope, BK ring Raven Spiral ring(i still have 2 of them) Raven Frost
Inventory:
perfect Paladin torch and Perfect annihilus.
9xpaladin combat grand charms with mods 6strength, 12Faster Hit Recovery, Lifers
10x20 lifer small charms with 5 resistances or 5 faster hit recovery.
Med Class: armor helm gloves basically same
Helm: Crown of ages 1 socket or 2 ber. Shako
Armor: Enigma
Gloves: draculs grasp Bloodfist
Shield:Hoz(Zak) shield or regular exile/ Spirit/sigons shield, lidless wall.
Belt: Verdungos coil
Boots: Gore riders sandstrom treks
Weapon:370+Grief/ CTA4+bo
Rings Amulet: Bk ring or soj good rare ring with mods(strengh)
Inventory: As much Paladin combat grand charms as possible. 20 lifers small charms or any lifers 15+ with mods as possible.
Strategy
Make sure you enjoy the full benefit of the gear you equip. Smiter vs. Smiter, the paladin with the best FHR wins most often. That is why Bloodfist can be a great secret weapon; the 30% FHR, min damage, and life all work great Smiter vs. Smiter, or in situations where you need an FHR boost (You should use 120% FHR paly vs. paly). FHR Plateaus and corresponding FPS are 75%: 6FPS, 120%: 5FPS, and 280%:4FPS.
This is a basic guide for a smiter any question or comments feel free.
