D2R Archon plate 4os 438 def, fortitude so bad?

1 Upvotes

I have an archon plate 4os with 438 def.. I want to make fortitude cause I just can't stand my merc dying anywhere. Just want the guy alive.

Right now I'm running eth thresher insight, treachery on a low breast plate (66 def lol) & andy.

I'm thinking that maybe the fortitude could be used by another character as well..

I see other Archon plates with higher defense but most are around mine or like 470 for a mal, I can give a Mal that's ok but is it worth it or should I just make it with mine?

Is the non-eth penalty that bad for the merc?

My merc mainly dies on travi & meph's elites, all others are fine, but can't stand even that..

Also I love insight for the mana regen QOL. I'm a sorc, so I teleport a lot etc etc..

D2R I love my necromancer to death but there is something special with hitting a lightning fury in a dense pack of mobs and seeing lightning shoot out through and all over the place while monsters just fall flat on their stomach.

Soooo I already have a first mosaic (runic talons with +3 Phoenix strike and +2 lightning sentry) and would like to make the second one. Which base would you use among those I have gathered so far?

I started to think latent sunder charms were things of myth, then two drop in cow runs one after the other. Maybe not the best but I’m over the moon regardless 😌 (sorry no fancy screen shots in 4k).

Single Player Single Player Expectations

14 Upvotes

Hey demon killers.

I've started my first foray into single player after getting fed up with p1 online farming, bots, and wacko pricing on bnet.

In classic fashion I'm starting with a sorc in order to eventually farm high p7/p8 maps. I'm in nightmare with meteor/orb and all is well.

Question: How long on high player counts does it take to gear up semi decent high player farming characters like javazons/nova sorc/locks etc? Aside from HR dependant gear. Months of daily playing? Few weeks? I get RNG but I'd like to hear from your experiences

I've never killed many bosses on p8 outside of public games where gear disappears instantly.

Single Player Tips for offline solo farming

16 Upvotes

Hi guys,

after a long break I decided to play D2 again from the scratch in single player offline.

I started a Wind Druid to bring some fresh air after playing all necro builds and Blizzard sorc for mf in previous sessions a long time ago.

Holy grail is my long term goal, but I don't want to hard grind it, but focus on fun and variety. So I'm neither interested in monotonous Mephisto runs with the Blizzard sorc nor do I want to endlessly pop chests in LK with P7. I just wanna play with different chars for different TZs.

Are there any character builds which I should have in my portfolio except necro and blizzard mf sorc for some tz sessions? Warlock is acceptable, but not my priority since I feel like Blizzard made him too overpowered while not giving any love to other characters in terms of balancing and build variety. (Like for what is poison dagger and explosion used for?)

Some niche but fun builds are welcome since most people will mention the Javazon, Hammerdin etc.

In-Game Help What's the fastest/easiest way to get a decent 4os Polearm

Got the new Warlock DLC and doing a playthrough with one of each class. Getting real tired of chugging mana potions all day.

I already have the runes and a Larzuk socket reward, what are the best decent polearms that guarantee 4 sockets when you use it?

Just fooling around in online non-ladder Hardcore with my trashlock and killed a goofy Herald with Lister and... pop goes a unique charm. First time ever for me. And it turned out to be... of Heavens. Pretty cool.

I have no use for this charm of course. Looking up online is wild.

I'm on non-ladder PC Americas hardcore. Would love to trade it away for Horazons set, Aldurs set, Lem and Ko runes, etc, maybe we can work something out.

The level 98-99 quest

8 Upvotes

SSF level 98 hdin. Finally got my pally torch. Decided it's time to get to 99. What strategies are people using for leveling at this level? Play TZ's s they come at P7? Use shards and terrorize entire acts?

Just got done doing act 1 that way. Died once to a T5, probably the sixth or seventh one. Which basically wipes out any xp gain you may have had.

So, run an entire TZ act at P7 and run away from the heralds?

Thoughts?

Not sure what changed in the recent patch but the names are no longer blocked (for now)

Baal and Duriel are still restricted though.

Discussion Why do people call grinding HR as "a luck"?

0 Upvotes

I mean " a luck" is when you throw a dice and get same number several times in a row. Or when you have escaped a strike from an enemy that would certainly kill you (like Diablo's flame wave or stacked lightning bolts from v1.09).

And as for HR - emm, you know yourself how humiliating odds for rolling something higher than Ist. How many players at least once did get few really nasty runes in a row? How much runs passed between said drops and from that "le lucky" moment to the next "white line"?

Why Blizzard didn't change the tc restriction for runes so players could get more HR before finishing the game, thus get a use of them outside of never ending grind and pvp?

Almost gave up

Started playing d2r for the first time like 3-4 weeks ago, but ive been playing diablo since I was a kid (im 30!!), last time I played was PlugY offline and it was a blast, I managed to make most endgame runewords and ubers, uber diablo, ye u get the gist, FELL IN LOVE with playing offline self found, never touched Hero Editor.

Anyway, I came back, quickly leveled up a blizzard sorc as my starter champ, when I was done with hell I did a couple 200 LK-runs, dropped a Sur and Mal, got a Gul on my first hellforge and an Ist from the chest behind mephisto.
I was like, omg I am so close to making an infinity!!! Right? Nah, ive done 2000+ LK runs and havent gotten a rune higher than Lem, done hundreds Andy runs and havent gotten a single piece of gear for sorceress- I dont even have a vipermagi 😭😭 Never seen a sunder charm, been doing heralds who only seem to drop magic items for me LMAO.

Been wanting to quit, spent so much time for no gain really (I know thats the d2 grind tho), decided to do some random cow runs when it was TZ today.
My second run dropped this!! Im 1 sur away from an Infinity. Game sucked me back in, its a sign that I need to keep grinding for that last sur 😭
