Description

Hey guys,

Running Hell for the first time ever, currently running a dual Wind/Summoning build and getting slapped about by the cold immunes in Hell. Can anyone recommend some improvements or strats to get me through this. Attached my stat and skill trees.

Happy to be ridiculed, im probably going to go back to Nightmare and farm Terror zones for better kit and XP but let me know what you think i should be doing, any help greatly appreciated

Hi. No one is going to ridicule you. We've all been through it.

The issues:
Your points are too spread out.
Focus first on your damage skills, and then their synergies. In your case, that would be Tornado first, then Hurricane, and then Cyclone Armour and Twister.

Your stat points are also too spread out. Put enough points in strength and dex to use your gear. All else in vitality. Do not put any points in energy. Make a Spirit sword (or shield, if you have a Monarch), if you are low on mana.

Good luck.

Appreciate that. Haven't quite made it to the point of experimenting with rune words, i guess now is the time i should put some effort into that. Do you have recommendations on where to find a decent 4 socket sword/ Monarch?

In terms of point allocation, yeah i see your point, i'm not massively well versed on strats for allocations so i just put them in what i needed at the time, i felt like going elemental with dogs and bear to do solid physical damage would be a decent blend, but Hell is teaching me all kinds of lessons i'd rather not learn lol

If anyone reading has some kit recommendations for me, or has some items they think id benefit from they'd be willing to trade for, i've got plenty of stuff i can offer in exchange

The Monarch shield only drops in hell difficulty. If you find a White one, you can use Larzuk quest on it to get 4 sockets.
The normal 4 socket swords drop on nightmare, so you can farm there. You can also farm normal cow level for a Crystal Sword or broadsword, and use Larzuk quest.

Remember, runewords only work in White items.
