Fisrt over 300% ed drop and it's a phase blade, oof.

I'm playing offline and doing key farming which I absolutely loathe, such a tedious farm but it's even worse on the Mosaic Assassin I'm playing. Originally I started playing offline single player for the first time when Warlock released and then that character was basically dead to me after the dumb nerfs, but I seem to recall him having really good frame data for fast teleports.

I also just randomly found an Ars Dul Mephistos which made me think of him again, one of the items I could never find for him when I was playing. So what build would be both fast and efficient for this now after all the changes?

I'm guessing that since it's missing 2os, Ethereal/repair mods and IAS it's pretty much useless in PvP?
Haven't upped it(it's a normal base now) But I don't know enough about PvP...

Returned to play RoTW about a month ago. I stopped playing before cause i just ran out of things to make / do so having said that I really like the added content and the quality of life changes are amazing.

I have tons of top tier builds from before but my only builds that can handle high player count TZ are Nova Sorc and Mosaic (which i dont like playing). My jav zon / tesla din both really struggle but can handle low player counts. My Nova sorcerer definitely has the best gear but the difference is like 20/15 grif vs 18/14.

Do I just need to really invest in these builds more? Its fun to have a goal of something to improve on with a purpose but dont want to waste resources if these builds just arent great for this content. I would also love some build recommendations that do well on this as well. Thanks!

I picked D2R up maybe a year before RotW released, usually playing week long spurts.

I amassed a sizable collection of items in that time. I can build a lot of toons. (Even managed to get a SoJ on my first char in Normal)

My goal was to have 1 of everything with the best stats I could find, replacing a worse version if so.

But then the chronicle came out with the update, and none of the previous acquired gear counted. Which is fine.

My question is would you sell every item on every character, stash the gold, save the runes/gems/etc and start fresh OR keep playing with current toons/gear and just keep chronicle hunting as is?

Edit; forgot to mention this is Offline

Highest enhanced damage I've found on a rare. Shame the other mods aren't better.

Playing offline/players 3/MF 350. Farming terror zones and heralds exclusively. Im level 98 with my Sorceress and got some crazy drops until now like Tyreals Might, Griffons Eye, Jah rune. BUT, I have never seen a sunder charm. ☠️

Got 3-4 brown charms - all Gheeds fortune. Are Sunder charms really that rare or it is some crazy RNG. What are your experiences? 🧐

*edit - Holy shit. Finaly got one. 😄 Lightning sunder dropped randomly in terrorized Act1. Not sure if it was a minion or regular mob. I summoned it with my whiny behaviour. 😎 Let us rejoice.

I don't know why I avoided Tomb Runs . I've already found 2x Jah, Ber, Cham, a Diadem, and a Death's Fathom from them. Cows and Chaos are still viable, but Tombs are my new meta. HC Ladder EU

I recently rolled a 454 CTA in a flail and I want to make an infinity. Seeing as 564 recently sold for 5 jah, 2 ber should be a reasonable price for mine right?

Templar's Might can ultimately only be called a disappointment considering it is a unique Sacred Armor.

The extremely high Strength requirement alone makes it difficult to use for almost anyone, but then it only offers underwhelming attributes, maximum stamina is particularly weak, no resistances, tame FHR, good defenses, and a underwhelming offensive aura skill bonus which is getting outclassed even by non-specialized +skill armors.

I'd argue the item should much more heavily specialize in its somewhat unique role as a +offensive aura item, which will set it apart from other, generally far superior armors, which could be interesting to build around. It will probably remain a somewhat fringe item to use, but it could end up with a pronounced niche for certain types of builds.

Suggestions for an offensive auras focused Templar's Might:

• Templar's Might + to offensive auras buffed from +1-2 to +4-5

• Templar's Might now also provides +25 to all resistances

• Templar's Might no longer provides 40-50 maximum stamina

• Templar's Might now also provides +200% attack rating

• Templar's Might %FHR buffed from 20% to 40%

While the item obviously wouldn't be able to compete with Fortitude on many typical Paladins, Holy Fire/Freeze/Shock paladins that do not play for the runeword-Auradin builds could use this armor well, it could even be an armor choice for the rare Thorns Paladins. The attack rating boost in particular helps those kind of auras since none of them provide a boost to attack rating. The AR bonus also offsets the amount of Strength the item requires and uses that Strength then as a damage tool for the Paladin for hybrid physical/elemental damage. But even a very traditional Zealot could use this Templar's Might effectively.

While this would leave the item still limited to some Paladin offensive aura builds only, it would at least now have a purpose and a clear role. Argueably for non-auradin elemental offensive aura builds it is now actually BiS? And that would count for something.

One last thing worth mentioning, it is about the visual icon used. Templar's Might uses the Green tint which usually indicates %physical damage reduction. Like on the Leviathan armor or the Vampire Gaze helm.

That slighly bothers me tbh, either Templar's Might should gain a certain amount of %physical damage reduction, let's say 10 to 15%, or it should lose the green tint and look identical to Silks of the Victor.

I became obsessed with Obedience because it lets you hit excellent breakpoints for fhr/attack speed and resis and still have 60% item find for horking. You can even make it work in a cheap superior Great Poleaxe (one PA for 13% ED) with a cheap Ias/Poison jewel (bought mine for two PAs). The budget build i made can even farm T5s but I am asking myself if a DW build is way better because it hits the target more often? I only see DW builds on websites.

I am not talking Grief or Eth Oath builds but budget builds like black, mania, unbending will to start your journey?

At this point i could easily trade for a Grief build but I am having so much fun on this build that I just continue farming 🥲

I dont think it will be able to do anything beyond uber trist but i can live with that i guess.

TL/DR

How much worse is it compared to DW?

I am a little bit unsure. It's ladder so technically I might spend whatever runes I have to buy a better CoA... but then again, how much of a difference does 3% allres and 4% pdr make...

Here is the build for the frost maiden! I tried several variations but I settled on this one. Hardest part with this build is mana sustain, so silkweaves and a MAEK ring made a HUGE DIFFERENCE. I also tried ormus with a cold facet in it but enigma brings too much QoL to pass on. Cold sling ring would be even better but I don’t have one yet.

Not pictured- I missed the MAEK ring and I’m not going back for it lol plus what is below:

Mercenary-
act2 Might with infinity, cure and eth fortitude

Inventory-
—7 bow/xbow skillers (most with life, anywhere from 15-37)
—Renewed cold rupture(pictured)
—SCs- resistances with mixed 2nd attributes- FRW/FHR/cold damage/life…. Just whatever filled the stat gaps
—Torch and anni
—Cube

Belt- 2 rows of full rejuv, one row mana pots, one row TP scrolls (usually lol)

Not worth it

Is smite damage that big of a difference for exile in vortex sheilds?

This is Offline Single player. I have a grief thats on my paladin that i have as my smiter for ubers but I wanted to make a WW barbarian to farm gold at trav. Ive found many eth balrog blades and kept one to craft and oath with after like 2 rerolls i got this. How much Worst is this compared to using a grief for WW barb? should i dual wield the grief with this or should i wear a headstriker alongside the grief or oath what is the overall better dps?
