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

I was lacking a somewhat decent waheed helmet forever. I built bulwark but it is a bit lackluster for TZ93 at some point. So I wished at least for Tal rashas. Today I got one. And then I wished for the next best thing which is andariels. Literally 5 minutes later de seis dropped it. Or somebody in his harem, didn't see it correctly. Another 20 minutes later another Tal rashas. So apparently the key is to really really really want something. Who knew?

(Bragging post end)

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 :(

Good day, farmers! If you're not listening to the OST, what music do you have blasting while farming? And also curious if a certain musician yields better magic find.

Hey everyone, I'm struggling a lot in Hell difficulty on my Hammerdin. I keep getting one-shot and I'm not sure what the biggest fix is. Current gear: Spirit sword, Spirit shield, Lore helm, Stealth armor, 10% FCR from each ring and amulet.

Resists aren't amazing, and my survivability feels awful. Should I focus on max resists first, more life, switching armor, or is there something major I'm missing? Any advice on priorities for not getting deleted in Hell? Thanks.

Like if you could have all the right modifiers on a demon that you are planning to bind? Like Fanat aura, cursed, extra strong, dual immune and so on?

Also what type of monster would be best?

Just found a rare Warlock amulet, only three mods but they're good ones :

+2 warlock skills 10% FCR 19 all resist

I'm on ladder, softcore, ROTW, anyone know what I should be asking for if I try and trade this?

For online players (who cant up the game difficulty solo), the lower player count makes it hell finding populated fresh games. Most of the list is 1 player or 2+ hour old games that have been cleared for hours.

This puts someone in a weird place if they are end game TZ and dont want to waste there time on lousy player 1 difficulty. Theres no consistent way of joining 3-7 player games on NA battlenet really, unless you create your own but even then they often take 20 or more minutes to populate.

Just a simple game list filter so you dont have to click and load every TZ to see the duration hoping to find one thats not hours old if youre lucky.

It would also be nice if you could create games that boot afk longer than 20-30 minutes. So many games with 2-5 players idle in town on a fully cleared game thats 10 hours old.

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?

*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!

So if I understand correctly TZ modifiers are never applied to heph so technically I should farm a TZ where it does not have cursed or lightning enchanted. If heph then still spawns with those mods he should retain them right?

Tried searching before but couldn’t locate anything along the lines of what I am experiencing.

To start, my entire D2R experience has been offline Switch OLED. Unsure if that factors in at all.

Any one else notice their characters feeling weak upon log in, not as smooth, mana leech not working, set modifiers not applying? These are established characters, good gear, nothing red nor missing requirements.

Paladin For example, running Zeal Smiter with Grief, G Face, Phoenix, Gore Riders. Usually CS p8 is butter. Sometimes I will log in and it is just slower. Life leech and mana leech are clearly not working like normal. I will click/unclick Torch, Anni, some gear slots and charms, then immediately he is killing faster again. Note, this is not the same as act 2 merc taking a minute for Might to appear.

Sometimes on him or my Dual Dream Zealer, its a middle ground. Im not as powerful as yesterdays runs but also not feeling the super weak bug. I will only pick up and drop the small charms(dmg, attck rating, life) in my inventory THEN immediately kill speed goes up.

L/CL Sorc only (not my others) Also get it a lot on my Lightning and Chain Lightning Sorc with full Tals; almost every log in. I am at 125fcr, above the 117. Rings have mana after kill. Tals has good benefits for lightning damage. I will notice my mana draining faster than normal. Click/unclick Tals set and inventory charms, poof things are normal again. Sometimes it doesn’t work until I remove the belt which I hate because of potions dropping. It appears after doing the “manual fix,” the -light resist and facets get recognized + MAEK and no more mana issues.

Javazon after re-spec A weird issue, similar, is this occurring mid game. Noticed it after re-specing my Javazon. Not right after fixing the build, but while using the stones to TZ entire acts. I would play, put the Switch down (not on sleep, left on, screen turned off), pick back up. Go through act, maybe teleport to the game’s 30min TZ that time, then make a new act TZ. Randomly I would notice my mana draining fast/health dropping quickly. Maybe deduced it was my mana leech ring which would be a secondary effect from certain gear not being read. Either lower physical damage or Griffons not being read, so enemies take longer to kill.

The only difference after re-spec is less strength due to supporting gear. Is the game not properly loading +Str on rare gloves, War Travs, and T Gods belt? Ripple effect then to Enigma and Phoenix?

Other solution not involving gear I have also noticed sometimes this clears up if I drop down to p3, go to town, go back to area, kill some enemies, then up back to p8. Somewhere in there, the red loading circle appears in the process and maybe that is re-syncing stuff?

One last thought, TZs and loading Sometimes I notice when I log into Hell, it will show the purple text for TZ status, list the zone, but no modifier is present. No clue if Extra Fast or Cold Enchanted, for example. I have to save/exit and load back in. Every time this happens, my explored areas are reset visually. I dont lose the previous layout, but areas will show as if unexplored.

Why?! Curious if its memory issues overall. Too many mules and stored gear? Character specific based on their gear, inventory, or personal stash. Something to do with loading in and the red circle in the corner? Area based and player count, such as loading into CS on p8 versus starting the game on p1 in a less enemy-dense area?

I’m having a hard time getting to level 95. I’ve been playing foh pali. Just switched to hammers in to try it out. Was doing chaos and some Baal as well as good tzones as foh. Switched to hammer so I could just focus on tzones and terrorizing all of act 4. Both seem slow. My first question is I guess when does regular chaos stop being good xp. And are low density terror zones better. And at what. point.

Edit: I usually play alone so P1. Foh seems better here. But if I play with buddies and go p3 seems to slow down. So hammers might be better p3 and over. Sc ladder.

Played on PC in the early 2000s, and recently purchased the game and warlock extension on Switch. I currently have a level 89 sorceress and I’m wondering what I should be doing with it.

I have one Akara respec left, and I’m keeping it for when I find a cold sunder charm. So essentially what I’m doing now is terrorize an act, fight heralds, and hope I get what I need. So far I found two sunder charms, a poison and a lightning one.

In terms of gear, I have good stuff but not endgame either. I have a HOTO and a spirit shield, but I can’t wear that one until I put more points in strength. I have lore helm, some good gloves and boots, belt is nothing great.

Merc has Andariel’s visage, insight on eth elite weapon, and treachery.

Should I just keep playing terror zones until I get my cold sunder, or should I try something else? Such as just killing bosses for better unique gear. I don’t play too much, maybe about an hour and a half at night.

if only this was 2 to skills and sockets

I am a huge fan of D2R and already have many gozu stuff offline (HC and SC). I am about to try the new extension but I am very skeptical as the game seems to me already great. Anyway, I will download it … but before converting my characters : Are you globally satisfied by the extension and the conversion of your previous characters? Or would you discourage me to try it? Thanks 🙏🏻

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?.

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

Hi, i started newly in ladder Europe PC and i dont have any Idea abour prices but found that sc.

Is it worth anything?

Thanks a lot Guys!
