Hey everyone, i'm getting into D2 endgame for the first time (76 blizzard sorc atm)
I'm farming hell Andariel at the moment, got my first sunder dropb(yay!) but i'm really uncertain which items are actually valuable. Besides Charms obviously, i'm currently only picking up rare Rings, Amulets, Boots and everything that is either a set or unique item.
Happy for any help :)
First off, yes I am aware the IK set is not "good", but I just find it very fitting for a barbarian, and I might end up using it regardless. To make this even weirder, I actually plan to go Concentrate with this build, as I can not stand Frenzy or WW.
But I am not sure where the weak points are, and what can be remedied with socketed jewels/runes and what rings/stats would be best to focus on.
The maul has 40% IAS and 35-40% CB, but generally speaking the set seems favor defensive stats over offensive.
Complete Set Bonus
moved a 5s cs from a mule to a shared stash
changed the char, moved some sword from the stash into the inventory
checked the rune order two times despite remembering it very well
started inserting the runes
trying to insert ist
"why is it swapping wtf"
"oh my f..ing god........."
I’m offline so don’t get me wrong, a facet is going in it and it’s being used on my firelock. But man… kinda hurts.
I've been just running every major boss lately but it feels like maybe too sluggish? What seems like the best bang for your buck?
As far as I understand, conviction can only be applied to a monster (eg uber meph) when it is a higher level than the one used by that monster, thus infinity has no effect on uber meph.
Does anyone know if the same applies to thorns?
ie can you counter thorns aura on heralds by equipping an Edge or Bramble runeword on your merc? Just curious, and sick of dying whenever thorns heralds spawn.
Running this on my mirrored blades lock and it slays. I’m curious just how much of an upgrade eth botd is from eth death decap if anyone has run both…
Is it worth getting a helm and armor with max sockets and filling them up with perfect topazes for the % to "magic find" to try and get all the mid to high level set items?
Any suggestions on best ways to rune farm, yes I've looked up rune farming & the places to get guaranteed runes but wondering if there's anything else you lot want to add.
P.S. I'm playing as a paladin if that makes any difference & have been stashing what set items I have got in my inventory and have created 2 new characters to move 2 completed low/mid sets to them.
I still watch this video once in a while, I was so looking forward to it, diablo 4 PvP was fun but it wasn't THAT, anyway I was tired of waiting I started working on my own.
First time really sitting down and playing in the last 3 weeks, what a rush!
4th Griffon since ROTW 3rd Grandfather And finally, my 1st Shako!
The saved maps, player count adjustment, and unlimited respecs are great. Is there anything else that I'm not aware of that you can do in single player?
This just dropped off Nightmare Duriel. Possibly the best low level Grand Charm I've ever seen? Am I wrong??? Offline so I'll be using it but curious what this is worth online.
Level 85 currently trying to find a warshrike but no one seems to have one. I think they probably just toss them usually because no one plays throwing barb lol. Anyone have one for trade?
On PC and Switch 2 can do either
/// ROTW - Ladder - SC
With heart of the wolverine, I get about 20k AR, about another 1k or 2k extra damage or so.
With oak sage I get about 7k life. Can still hit, but not like with HOW obviously.
I'm thinking using the oak sage, it'll just take a little longer to kill things, the survivalbillity is there and with 90% LL from ferel rage and my gear.
Maybe with that setup I can secure my first win over the acients.
Will also use dracules grasp for the life tap.
Using an act 2 might merc with a reapers toll, Fortitude and g face
I was only able to just about kill one of the acients and he went nuts and 2 shotted me haha. He left me with like 12 health and I wasn't fast enough to use the pot.
Maybe now my old ass will have the reaction time to use a full rejuvenation pot with 7k life haha
I was thinking it might be fun to have some questions from the community to take with us to BlizzCon in case we get to talk to the dev team directly.
If you have any [respectful] questions you'd like answered, please post them in the comments and we'll select some to queue up.
Looking forward to seeing your questions.
I have a single ZOD, I know not what to do with it. I have recently found a +3 abyss fanged knife, I have a 268ed eth ribcracker. I have no bases at this time for a botd though I would love one in the future and no bases for an obsession. I don't plan on playing hammerdin or an abyss lock. I do play an es purge and bowlock so I know void would be good for buffing but am afraid of getting a low roll. I do plan on doing a built out fire warlock and I don't fully need obsession for anything as I have a +4 ondals. I do see the extra qol that can add. Anyone care for chime in with insight?
Hi, question: why did it not turn to "Steel"?
Is it because despite being a Normal Weapon [name was in white], it had magic effects as class-related items do?
I could've sword my Aerin Shield had some effects, and the Ancient's Pledge rune didn't work.
Or was it because it was a "Superior" Weapon? I wanna know cause I don't want this to happen with my other items, especially if I were to make the Spirit Versions
[Edit: I looked up Steel on d2runewizard before I did this, and it said Swords, Axes, and Maces. Is this incorrect info?]
[Edit 2: Seems to be solved, thanks! Apparently, Scepters aren't "Maces" for the purposes of Runewords. Just to be sure what mace class weapons does Steel work on that you've actually used?]
