Lot of information.

Guides

Guide from Path of Diablo, how to find your ways in all levels to rush run them.

Sorceress build guides

The detailed guide I'm currently following. Maxing Frozen Orb then Meteor.
Several builds, hints and tips. Worth reading.
Some tips about sorceress stats distribution. Worth reading.
More detailed guide on an hybrid sorceress. Not tried yet.
Video showing several builds, but no explanation on how to build them...
Not read yet.

Mercenary guides

  • Merc gets the most XP if they kill the monster themselves. To keep in mind if merc is lagging behind.
  • Equip: Life Steal, to keep him alive in fight (for melee merc only).
  • Equip: Increased Attack Speed. Allow merc to leech even more.
  • Equip: Crushing blow, a good boss killer.
  • Equip: Slow target item, nearly as good as damage reduction items.
  • Equip: Mana leech *useless*.
  • Merc MF stacks with player MF, but only if merc does the kill. Important when dealing with boss.
  • Use Full Rejuvenation (rather than Healing), heals faster. Use cube recipes to make such potions.
  • Thaw / Anti potion time stacks up. Feed your merc before a killing session.
  • *...and much more information to read again later...*

Loot filters (POD)

Intro page.
Reference page will alll supported codes.
The filter I'm trying.
List of filters made by community.

Battle.net servers

These servers are other realms than the official Battle.net realm, and provides alternate ods, skills, experience rate, ladder reset, etc.

  • Blizzard Battle.net
Official servers.
Light modding, but great improvement on Gameplay (widescreen support, doubled inventory and stash, improved rune drops...)
Active community.
A bit more modding. With an item shop, so might be suspect...

Acronyms

MF Magic Find
TC Treasury Class
FCR Faster Cast Rate
IAS Increased Attack Speed

Path of Diablo (PoD)

  • Check for servers that are nearby, and that does not reset often (last restart). Eg. GS 32.
  • Handy to know which runeword can be built.
  • Handy to inspect inventories of mule (eg. compare a new ring, a new charm with those in mule).
