I read this a while back, is it 100% safe to do?  I found my first
Archon Plate (Cracked) with a 200+ def and repaired in the cube.  Now
I have a regular 500+ def AP.  How many sockets will larzuk punch in?
Is it one lower (three, what I want) or is it the minimum sockets

My Necro at the moment is running Hell.  I was not satisfied with the
key bindings to skills, so I tidied them up.  I use the keys,
q,w,e,r,a,s,d,f,z,x,c,v and 5.6.7.8.  I tied various skills to these
keys, and up till yesterday when I sorted them out,  they worked well.

I'm not ready yet to group up because I want to play the game solo once
first, but I'm curious, what are some good builds for being in a team?
My summoner nec seems like a very good solo character, but probably not
great in a group. A paladin, on the other hand, seems like they ...

Is Blessed Hammers damage nerfed in LoD?
I have a Classic hammerdin with lvl 24 on the appropriate skills and
his damage is in the high 8000's
My LoD Hammerdin has BH at 27, Concentration and Blessed Aim at 24,

When hiring an Act 2 merc at Lut Gholein the three types available are
Defensive, Offensive and Combat.  Reading various guides and builds I
see instructions to hire a Prayer or Thorns mercenary or maybe a
Defiance or Holy Freeze or even a Blessed Aim or Might.  

The initial comments I read about Hellgate London were not great.  Now
that the game has been out a while, I wonder if it's any better.  The
gameplay videos on youtube look very interesting and Diablo like.

I've noticed since I started Act V that my disc is spinning up in my
drive quite often. It never did this in the original game. Now it tends
to do this every so often, sometimes when I beat a boss character
(Nikthalak, sp?) and sometimes during dialogue, which causes a skip in

So, I fire up the ol' Diabler after getting home from work. Take the ol'
Summoner Necro out for a walk. Go and see Andy, she has nothing to say and
drops even less. Next, I wander over to visit the Countess, she gives me a
couple low runes and sends me on my way. Then i meander ...

With some of the discussions lately about different builds, and giving
advice to a struggling summoner, I thought I'd give one more example
of how powerful summoners are.
I'm playing one now (he's in Act V Normal), and using only what I

Had something happen yesterday which doesn't happen very often, some random
guy who was previously being an a.s actually changed his tune! I was talking
with some friends in channel, and were discussing hammerdin vs trapper
duels. One guy said his 75 FCR hammerdin always loses to ...

I've been thinking of trying to build a Bowazon, but some of the
articles I've read suggest that she's not viable soloing in Hell.  Can
anyone suggest a viable build for this character, and is the outlook as
gloomy as I've read?

The clone is walking in the hchell game. I can't take him myself, and I
can't raise anybody currently online.
Anyone?
Mark.

Hey guys, what merc should I get for my windy druid? I thought of a
few with reasons for each particular choice. But I just can't seem to
agree which is the best. So I am listing out the candidates and pick
the one with the most votes. Democracy at work. hehe

I'm not likely going to be playing it. I've finished downloading a patch of
495meg.. Mind you it's not really since by the time i downloaded it from the
site it took most of a gig of downloading.. Guess what? I go to log in
today... Starts downloading a new patch. 492meg. I'm not ...
