Well, now that I've got HC up and running by changing the registry for the game, I have started HuggerOfTrees in HC the brother of the SC Tree_Hugger. I will be playing a full clear on /players8 the whole time.
For some reason I got a bad spawn on Blood Raven as she wouldn't target my minions, but would only shoot at me. I was barely able to swing cause I was either poisoned and chilled, poisoned, or chilled. I had to chug all the potions I had all rejuvs, blues, and reds. I came close to losing my very first HC char at level 8 several times. I am now at level 16 with 1 point in Oak, 1 in PC to keep monster regen down, 1 Raven, and 3 in Spirit Wolves.
I have a cold arrow merc and I gave her a 3os bow and stuffed it with some chippies. I also am using a short bow stuffed with three chippies. My killing sped right now is quite "fast" with the three wolves tanking and my merc and I plinking away from the back. I have mainly been pumping VIT and STR with a few points into DEX about 5 into energy. I am wondering how high I should pump my dex? I've been looking for armor and weapons with +AR so I can hit things, but I'm guessing that a pure summoner is going to have a rough time hitting things eventually. I have enabled the Realm only runewords, so I plan on keeping my rogue merc and giving her an Edge bow seeing as the runes are pretty cheap to come by as you can cube up to them in SP if you don't find them (I believe).
I plan on maxing Oak, Spirit Wolves, Dire Wolves, Grizzly. should I put a few points into bear and shockwave that seems to be the common thing to do? Would getting an A2 Might merc be better thatn keeping a rogue with Edge. I'm not sure I would be able get the runes for an Insight stick or if that would really even be a good choice.
What are some suggesstions? I won't be able to get the godly gear and I just installed ATMA so I can start muling stuff away like gems and such.
