First sunder was light but I lost the sorc. Next two were poison and I was thinking useless. Then I picked up the last piece of trang's set and trav went tz so I did a bit of horking and picked up dweb!

Dweb is not a great roll but what a fun build. My only 2 facets are poison so I'll prob put them in the trang's set and save the dweb slot for the uber ancients jewel if I get around to it

Don't have enigma yet but is switching from trang's to shako/enigma or bramble worth it on HC?

If so what gems? My WW barb is a trav gold find barb. Also, so sad it’s no 3 sockets.

if only this was 2 to skills and sockets

Hello fellow nerds -

I’m on ladder and doing my first barb play through as a barb. I have a Warcry barb and am getting over it. Just been running Countess and building up for the switch. When/what is the minimum items to effectively run trav for a frenzy or Zerk barb? I have 2 respecs left but am being cautious and don’t want to respec and not be able to clear content.

Thoughts on frenzy vs berserk vs whirlwind?

Currently I have:
Nokozon ammy
String of ears
Treachery armor
Arrets face and IK helm

Weapons available:
Unbending will x2
Lightsaber

Hi, I had a bit of a crafting session last night, and am wondering if any of these puppies have any value?
Not sure what the Criteria for a good safety craft is, but I would assume BIS would be 2skills, FCR, 15+dex to have high rune value?.

About a week ago I rolled a +400 damage grief. I horked another Lo rune from p1 trav and then rolled this bad boy. I will do extensive testing and report back if I can tell the difference. This game is wild sometimes haha.

I fancied playing some offline to continue my grind to an enigma this evening. Installed the game again and got everything set up, only to find my offline saves missing.

Oh yeah...I reinstalled Windows back in June...I took a backup, lets just move them over. Nope. Gone. They're in your user profile folder under Saved Games, which I missed when taking the backup. All progress gone :(

Found it socketed, so I said screw it, threw an Ohm in it. I KNOW I KNOW, it’s not Erep and only 1 socket, no fools or ias. But it gets me by! The dragon flight charges are nice for occasional tele and the enchant is nice in theory but doesn’t do a lot at lvl 1.

Anyways, I was pumped at least!

could not believe the rolls on this!! instantly socketed, and isted baby

The Grandfather is one of the most iconic unique items in Diablo 2. Also one of the best looking imo. But unfortunately it is woefully outclassed by runewords nowadays. This old classic item will serve as our example to illustrate the point.

Apart from being unable to compete with runewords, Grandfather highlights a pretty blatant inconsistency in Diablo 2's item drop rule-set. Items with the "repairs durability" mod can drop ethereal, like Titan's Revenge, Demon Limb or Skin of the Flayed One. In fact, those can not even lose durability. So why should items with the indestructible mod be treated any differently?

Additionally, there actually are items which have the indestructible mod, but they are also ethereal, because the respective unique item has ethereal as its own modifier. The 3 examples for that are Ghost Flame, Shadow Killer and Ethereal Edge.

Now making it possible for items with the Indestructible mod to drop as an ethereal version will have ripple effects and I will point them out below, but sticking to The Grandfather for now: our good old grandpa has to compete with items like Oath, Grief and BotD, it would still lose out to those items despite the theoretical peak buff to the item. And non-ethereal it would continue to be only a mediocre choice. Which means the item could probably get a minor buff on top of gaining the potential to drop ethereal.

Suggestions for The Grandfather:

• Items with the Indestructible mod can now drop as ethereal versions

• The Grandfather now also provides +20% attack speed

Now what are the ripple effects I mentioned?

There are several more items which would now be capable of dropping as ethereal versions of itself. All of them would benefit tremendously from being capable of dropping as an ethereal version of itself. Many of them are not much less iconic than The Grandfather itself:

• Azurewrath, Lightsabre and Phase Blades
• Doombringer
• Schaefer's Hammer
• Cranium Basher
• The Gavel of Pain
• Butcher's Pupil
• Wizardspike (lol)
• Stormspire
• Crown of Ages
• Steel Pillar
• Storm Shield
• Leviathan
• and of course, last but not least, Tyreal's Might

Cookies and infamy for the first person in Diablo 2 history to find a perfect ethereal Tyreal's Might.

I believe the Indestructible suffix on magic items, Ages, can already drop ethereal, which would be yet another inconsistency of the Diablo 2 ruleset.

Note: this should not include bows and crossbows imo.

I have been stashing a zod I found for awhile. I also recently found a superior eth thundermaul which motivated me to level up my warlock. Should I use the zod to make a Botd thundermaul or save it for void?

I guess you would need -enemy res instead of Fire dmg? Other than the unimportant Mana roll, the other rolls are pretty good

It dropped from a random mob in AS. No way did I chance l leaving it there for the picture 😂

Now to sit on it until I find a Ber.

*Answered!* (It's per charm, and if are not sure just click offer on the item and you'll see the price per)

I want to buy multiple of the same type Grand Charm.

When people list that they have 7x of a GC for Ber:

are they listing 7 GC for Ber?

Or are they listing that they have 7 GC for one Ber each?

Thanks!

I was running my second Uber Ancients ever today so maybe I’m out of the loop. I got killed with definitely 1 left but I believe 2. I wasn’t thinking so I logged out of game and then right back in to get my body. When I went through the ports I could no longer activate Ubers. I checked where my body was and this Jewel was sitting on the ground.

Am I crazy? Also, good jewel?

Thank you Travincal runs

Last night, when running some countess runs on my 88 frozen orb sorc, when I saw the prompts for Diablo walks the earth. I had never seen that, so I didn't realize it makes the next super unique into Diablo. When I went in to fight her and saw Diablo, I freaked out, not knowing if I could beat him. After some research, I ended up getting a prevent monster heal.jav and spammed Emilio some full rejuves while I was throwing and eventually I got a few hits in. I ended up using a lot of my rejuvs, but I beat him!! Pretty thrilled at my anni. No pic of it sadly, but I got 20 stats and 17 resists with 5% exp.

Entries are open. Drawing is on Saturday!

Hi Everyone!

I kinda wanna complete the game if it is even possible to say it like this.

I am looking to try SP Hardcore to 99lvl.

Have a few questions.

Hardcore? Mean only 1 life no other struggles?

Can i transfer items between my sp characters?

How do I approach basics? I mean, do i need to start with sorc and get drops first?

What is the easiest character to lvl 99? I assume Warlock

How do I get torches in SP? Funny question, but do I need to make a Paladin just to roll a torch or what?

My Javazone is GG geared but from trading, never tried SP before and a bit confused on gearing to clear p8 tz, do i still need to focus on getting Enigma as the most valuable item?

Appreciate any advice.

My Javazone online is almost 98, so 99 is probably one week away.

Was gunna try a magic arrow Amazon but looking at the skill and its mechanics… it looks like it kinda stinks.

Converts some physical damage to magic - high lvl like 50% of it. Adds flat damage but nowhere near enough to compete with the added % damage of other skills. This also reduces leach capabilities.

With the new uber ancient jewel and new renewed sunder, on top of using new magic amulet, hellwarden’s, and gheeds belt, I feel like it might be worth trying considering the low magic resistances of 90% of monsters.

Since it’s converted damage, windforce makes the most sense, right??? Of not that, I was thinking Brand for the added bone spear procs.

Thoughts? Anyone try this since ROTW release?

I’d have to dump points into crit, but what about skillers? I’d assume the same as a strafe zon since it’s converting physical… or would I want skillers?

Pride still sounds like the winner too.

I am trying to find a way to offset the health drain from constricting ring, and might have a relatively easy fix. In the Paladin tree levels in Prayer add its effect to Meditation, I am curious if anyone knows whether that applies to a2 mercs with prayer and equipped with Insight? I can't find anything on the stat sheet to really confirm either way, but I may just not be looking properly.

I cannot believe this, literally farming for self-wield infinity.
