Sound, thanks for the helpful replys.

I'm pretty sure its astral lore that mainly affects execution speed, so its only hit that is an issue.

I have one very(for me ) important question regarding attack rating. You chose not to include any lore skills that improve attack rating, I'm following this and using many 'reduction in enemy chance to evade' rings in sockets to get by this. Due to my reliance on RPH will I still be able to get away with this at higher levels? How will it scale? I dont want to get to level 190 and find I have to socket enemy chance to evade rings in every socket...

Nice one, would be great to see. Thanks also for the advice, one of the things I love about this game is all the many hard choices to make every single level haha. No deaths yet *fingers crossed*, if this character does die... I may just try out something along the lines of your tower build =)

Thought I'd never persist with any character but Inquisitor, but after playing coop with a summoning astral build the class started to appeal to me. Thus I found this Spectral Hand build and it intrigued me. So far I'm LOVING it =) I've decided to compromise by taking Grim Resiliance, as with silver mod it reduces regen penalty. Also I sometimes use Nether Allegiance on boss fights. Getting this build to work takes some perseverance, it seems like a lacklustra Combat Art at first but once you get the regen times under control with some RPH(I'm on 360 version too), its fantastic. Its like *point* 'DIE!' *point* 'DIE!' *point* 'DIE!' *point* 'DIE!' Also note that Ive not used a shopper and started on silver. To manage up to level 25 ish I've had to alternate it with scything/demonic to compensate for regen times, DW focus came in handy here. For boss/tough fights I have augment guidon and SF combo'd(both 20s ish regen), and rousing command seperately. Hopefully will report back soon with a positive update hehe

Lol, its the one in the hireling cave that kept getting my new characters. I'm always exceedingly carefull at that point now hehe. On a more related note, this 'hardcore for consoles' idea is how I normally play the game, the character is dead to me if it dies. Unless I'm playing with my gf, sometimes we die =)

Registered to post this =) This happened to me last weekend, I went away for a few days(with sacred inside the console), came back and it would not recognise there being any discs inside the machine. Tried other xbox games too but to no avail. Eventually tried a dvd, and it worked! Then put Sacred 2 back in and it worked with that too, *relief*.
