Ok thats the Team as it was 3 weeks ago, but I've been talking to Soontir and he's most likely out, I just don't see 1.1 coming out before school starts. But also these were made with 1.09 skills in mind. I think we need to revamp this alot.

One thing, two paladins are going to be almost necessary. One being Zeal and Fanatism, the other using the Holy Shock, Lit Resist, Salvation Synergy combo to give us all 1-3900 something lit damage, and 1-666 spontanious aura damage. Anothing thing, cold mastery affects Cold imunnity now, so a cold mage would be prefered. Right now I'm thinking about dumping firewall sorc for a poison necro, seeing how poi dag does 4800-5200, poi exp does 8200-9800 over 9.6 sec, and poi nova does 1700-1900 in 2 sec when they have full synergies. The Summon Necro is going to be very important too, I believe, seeing how with max skel mast, and revive, revived monsters deal 3x damage and have 4x life, plus get summoning resistance at 66% and you can still get 20 of them(accually you can get more with +to skill level) and since monsters have had their hp buffed and according to bnet had their damage increase by a large margin. Question though, do revived monsters get affected by paladin auras? Cause if so they will be just that more powerful.

All allies of Pallys will get the aura but to a lesser degree~Jason

If it comes around September I am definitly out. If it's in a week then i'll commit.~Jason

Well, the update to the beta took a month, I think we'll be held off atleast another month before we get the full on, if not more.

I'm still in but just put down for Lightning Sorc(Unless 1.1 patch allows better multi Sorceress...one path is so far the best)

Updated the list

1.10 won't be out for a loooong time.

They no longer affect converted monsters through mind blast, that's for sure. I do remember Necros with Bramble armor giving the thorns aura to their skels though.

I might be willing to join as an avenger pala. Either frost avenger or pure avenger, not sure. On east.

Uhh, could I join in? I got D2 a week ago... One Lev 77 Lightning Fury Javazon, and one Lev 68 Bowazon... I play on USWest.

Hamel and Exon, got to see if anyone besides Soontir has dropped out of the team, and what I'm trying to do with the team isn't just 8 people playing, but 8 people playing in a combonation of classes that works well together and makes us stand a chance in the new Nightmare and Hell difficulties.

Updated.

Well I have switched to a Poison Necro, I was surprised how well I was doing solo with a Poison Necro, I thought he would be too weak at the start, but as a team he would lull behind and then really take off around lvl 18, and eventually be a important part of the team. Since Poison Immunity is a lot rarer than the other he would be important in night mare and hell. I plan on using Poison Dagger as my main attack, with poison nova and poison exsplosion being the secondary attack, and what points I have left in Lower Resist Curse to help us all out. The only problem I see with this is that I think Revive will really be important to our group once monsters start having obsence hp and damage and poison exspslosion being my most powerful attack, as well as corpses being important to Keevan restoring health, where going to have conflicting needs when it comes to corpses.

I want you guys to check in and confirm that you're still in the team, or if someone is out of town right now seeing how there seems to be several people wanting to join in on the fun.

Yeah I'm still in...though gotta ask what type of Sorceress ya need?

GR, really it's up to you, I think fire has the easiest build, colds the hardest, but they aren't fucked against immunes, but immunes should be a problem with eight of us. I'm really not to informed about lit. http://diabloii.net has lvl 99 chars of each class with full skill points(110) that allows you to experiment with different builds, you can see which one you think would work the best, although I wouldn't find the best at 99, since we won't likely reach that, but starts kicking ass at like 30-40.
