Hey, i got a question, what do each of you guys think is the fastest NM cow runner? I cant decide on what type of char to make. Im thinking that a static/Nova sorc would do good like they were back in 1.09 in cows. I know java zons are good, but just dont have any teleport which adds on to time.

Looking for the fastest possible char that does it effictively. This char will only do nm cows, and nothing else, so i dont mind if she cant kill very well in hell or even at all. As long as the char can do about 5 player cow runs.

Just thought of another plus of the nova sorc, lightning cant kill the king so u can literally kill every cow.

Yeah, I would go with a nova sorc for those reasons.

I think zon Slap on a nigma and your ready to roll for nm cows if tele the only problem zons kill cows faster than a nova sorc sometimes u can kill a whole group of cows in a instant which makes it eazier

Depends mostly on gear though

I've had a lot of success with hammerdins. you just avoid the area around king and you're good.

I use a LS trapper. Works well for me. I might consider remaking my high level sorc to be a nova or chain lightning sorc though, just so I can put my full tals to use.

remember staticing adds time as well.

if you want to go for a sorc, do chain lightning.

if you choose a javazon, just remember, you still do some physical dmg when you lightning fury. iv killed a king with my zon, because i forgot (it was in normal however, so it doesnt matter)

get a valkwing helm, waterwalks, titans and cats eye amulet, and youll be just as fast at killing and collecting as a teleporting sorc.

yea, enigma is a good idea, in theory, but youll cast uber slow, so whats the point? you can run faster than a slow casting zon teleporting.

you will neve rkill the king as long as you dont shoot directly at him, if he comes near, make sure you're shooting his minons not him, or deflect a fury off the wall. javazon with 100ish frw is faster than nova sorc imo, you can herd weasily with big frw and kill the entire group in 1-2 shots, enigma would be a good idea, only for the skills/frw. teleporting on an amazon would be slower than running it would be easy to hit the right frw, with titans, some frw boots, enigma, a few charms, cant remember if valk wing has frw cause i keep on mixing it up with 08 valk wing

i think either both .08 and new valks have frw, or .08 has fcr instead of frw. one of those :-\

orb has a large damage radius. you can inadvertently kill the king easily, although as far as speed for killing cows, yes they are good.
