Wind druid - same as trap sin, but seems to be more interesting.Ĭons: no moveskill. Pros: more locs to farm, can gear MF (you can get occulus, socketed Ptopazes chest, can ez farm andy/mephĬons: need insight merc, hard to pass Hell because of Cold + Fire immunes in travi, 5act just nightmare on hell Pros: You even don't need to gear your merc (no insight dependency), crazy dmg with very crap gear, high survivabilityĬons: a bit boring after a while, you just place traps, annihilationįireorb sorc/ Blizzballer sorc - most quick bcoz of teleport, can farm Pit, Cows, Ancient tunnels, Bosses up to meph Later you can fast farm Pit, cows, chaos runs and baal runs. Trap assassin - the most smooth normal-hell walk, crazy damage, lighting from LS and fire/phys from DS, huge crowd control and burst of speed, makes it very viable. NO Gloams or OKs in WSK, so melee characters can much more easily run Baal (well, again, 1.13 seems to have made melee more viable, but WSK is MUCH easier in 1.09 than even 1.13)Įasy (small) Countess and Mephisto maps (and surprisingly different drop patterns for the Countess - I got my first LoH from NM Countess)Įxperience a time before Hammerdins ruled the Earth ( sigh - 1.13 strikes again - how about a time before Enigma ruled the Earth?)

Obtaining the Azurewrath Crystal Sword to fill the Flavie spotĬollecting level 90+ charms for gem rolling and amuletsĮxploiting imbalances and bugs such as overpowered GA BuriZon and +3 skills Act 1 Merc

(Crescent Moon runes can be collected in 1.09 since Um can drop from the 1.09 HF - but if you are using 1.09 to HF rush, most people get the Hell HF reward in 1.10+ for the Mal-Gul chance to cube up to the Ohm for CtA) Obtaining ingredients for beta 1.10s Crescent Moon, Call to Arms, etc. Obtaining a 1.09 Raven Claw unique Long Bow that gets bugged lvl 30(33?) exploding arrows when converted to 1.10+ Playing a patch that gives you more flexibility in your builds - ever wanted to build a Tri-Elemental Sorc?Īvoiding high-level experience penalties for a level 99 character (which can then be converted to 1.13 to respec to a sweet 1.13 build) Playing a fun (much more balanced than 1.07) patch that isn't so reliant on hard-to-build uber-powered RW items (well, 1.13 seems to have addressed the rune rarity) I understand the flaws and limitations it has compared to 1.1x, but playing 1.09 takes me back to the good old days.Įdit: I'll include the list from 'Robby D's Time Travelers Guide to 1.09' as well It had most of my favorite builds and it's when I was most invested in the game. Mostly nostalgia, just personal preference.
