Classic Build...lil help plz

[Dragnskull]

ok guys, ive done it, ive finally made my way back to classic, ive had enough of Euro HC and Xpan games...so im coming back to USEast no-x classic sc non ladder characters...

i found my old mules (i knew if i kept them around id be glad i did eventually) and rumaged through my old crap...i have 2 duped bows, few duped helms, few duped boots, tons of duped rings/amy's, some godly legit armors(sorc/pally) /belts (sorc/pally/barb) / and a shitload of legit shields (10/30/20/prismatic [some have dtm/str/+life/so forth]) so im set...only thing i have to do now, is create my characters

i plan on making pvm zon, then MF sorc, then go to pvp (barb/zon/sorc)

what i need to knwo...is now that 1.10 came out, whats a good build for a zon now that ga dont pierce? ga still = best? what about damage wise...

also i need to know for barbs (since 1.10 all ive made are sorc's)

another thing, ive always heard pallys > all now...so should i get rid of a character and create a pally? cause i could if its best... but yeah...i need to know what chars to make and get an idea of a good build...thanks...

PS: my original plan was to use 1.09 builds for all my characters, then it was brought to my attention by a friend that zons only do like 400 damage with ga now (or so he said) so thats what made me do this *nodz*

wow.. uh im on your realm and im playing some non-expac lately too. Problem is i don't know what the best items are.. cause im used to expac. Perhaps you could show me some stuff dude?

 

[Mr.Sloth]

Hint..... dont plan to go far with ur chars on classic cuz not as many cheap godlies if ur melee. if ur caster like hammerdin or blizzard or fire or boner youll go far.. try not to depend on attk dmg as often on chars if ur planning to go the whole 9 yards.

here ill give you an idea of what godly stats are on items:

Helms:
10-20Faster Hit recovery (FHR)
20+ Life
+str/dex (old items, new oneswont have this i believe)
11+ resistance (at least 2 resistances, best are cold/fire, lightning/posion is worthless, no one has those attacks really)

Amulet
+2 to _____ skill levels (plus one if all other stats are way above normal)
10+ str/dex
20+ life/mana
prismatic (meaning all resistances)

or

+2 to ______ skills
10+ str/dex
1-2 resistances (again, cold/fire)
life leech / mana leech (ll/ml)

armor:
-Zon: Twitch (not worth anything, but best for that character no matter what)

+Minimum Damage (MinDam) (optional, wont find anymore, very valuable)
800+ Defense (def)
+attack rating (AR)
30+ Life
or 10+ mana (optional, makes very godly if it has life and mana, although you wont see that anymore i believe)
10+ 2 minimum resistances (fire/cold again)

Belt:
-Zon: Deaths (worthless, but always used on zons, same for gloves)
-Sorc:
24 FHR
20+ life
and/or 10+mana (better to have life, combination of life/mana = very godly)
10+ 2 min resistances (cold/fire = best)
7+ str
(needs low requirements, like low str req)
-Barb
Same as sorc belt, but needs to have high defense (meaning itll have high str. requirments)

rings:
absolute best:
9 min damage
6 life leech
6 mana leech (if they can still have 9/6/6 (md/ll/ml))
+AR
10+ 2 minimum resistances (cold/fire)

godly:
Duel leech (ll/ml, best for a 6/6, but anything above 6/4 is good)

10+ 2 minimum resistances (fire/cold)
+str

Boots: 30/20's
-PVP/PVM
30 FRW (faster run walk)

10+ 2min resistances (fire/cold)

-MF
30 FRW
20FHR
+str / dex (str = more important)
10+ 1 resistance (fire/cold, finding one with 2 or more resistances is godly)
24+ MF

Shields: 15/30/20/10dtm
absolute best:
15 IAS
30 FHR
20 Increased chance of blocking (i think its in that order, heh, i know the 15/30/20 is best but i cant remember if its ias/fhr/icb, could be another order for them *shrugs*
+str
+life
Prismatic
+DTM

godly:
10
30
20
+str

Best zon build is Charged Strike. Max CS and all it's synergies. I don't know what gear you could use since I haven't played classic in forever, so I don't remember what you have on there.

For barb, make a Concentrate build. Do a search for my Conc barb guide.

Pallys are pretty good now, but I much prefer a conc barb for PvP. If you're going to make a pally, I'd say make a shockadin, they can do 5k dmg with a terrible weapon. There's a guide floating around somewhere for one I think.

If any of this doesn't apply to classic...Sorry

 

[Pale_Horse]

Try the classic Zealot, pally. In classic they are still a force to recon with if its 1.10 that is.

Sacrifice - 20
Zeal - 20
Holy Shield - 20
Fanaticism - 20 / Conviction - 20 (either or)
Preregs - 1
rest into salvation

Try to get a silks of the victor armor thats pretty good for a pally
thats all I remember really sorry.

 

[SweatyOgre]

A zealer would blow without good gear, but shockadin would be great with whatever you can scrounge up.

 

[SteveDaGreat]

trap asns are always useful (even though i hate those damn scally-wags). they got cc and a very useful meat sheild. not to mention the bitch'n dammage.
just a thought.

 

[SweatyOgre]

Assassins aren't in classic, neither are druids.

 

[Dragnskull]

well guys im only needing the build stats, like i said, i found my old classic mules, so i got all the gear i need (yes i got silks to whoever asked)

i got pretty much all the dupes i need, and a shitload of godly legits to trade off if ineed something.

 

[SweatyOgre]

Well stats are dependant on what you wear for almost all classes. For CS zon, there's a guide in the sticky, for conc barb I made a guide not too long ago, and for shocker just max Holy Shock, it's one synergy- Resist Lightning, Zeal, Sacrifice, and Holy Shield.
