Phase 5 · Endgame Charm Hunt
0 / 0 ▼
Cold Sunder for the Sorc — Latent tier is the realistic target, Renewed is rare-chase. Black Cleft grand charm for the Warlock. 3.2: both now drop from any monster via Magic Find in a good Hell TZ — Heralds are a bonus higher-chance source, not the only path.
❄ SorcIdentify favorable Hell TZs (avoid cold-immune-heavy zones) — MF + density is the baseline farm
⚔ PartyHerald tell: a lightning storm = a Herald is about to spawn (~5s warning) — hunt-chance rises with each kill in the terrorized zone
⚔ PartyKill Heralds on sight — they have a boosted Sunder drop chance (T2 start · T3–4 2× · T5 3×); they don't buff other monsters
❄ SorcDrop a Cold Sunder ↻ chase, primary endgame goal
☥ LockDrop a Magic Sunder ↻ chase, Warlock endgame goal
Phase 6 · Budget Smiter Alt
0 / 0 ▼
One Smite Paladin alt for Ubers + Colossal Ancients. Every piece cheap — no Grief / Last Wish / CoH. Crushing Blow is what matters.
