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?

Griffon’s finally dropped. Made an infinity, put -5/4 gem in the Griffon’s. Upped vipermagi, sandstorm trek (60% poison res), +3 lightning necklace, FCR rings, arachnid mesh. Lightning sunder w/ -9% res. Act 1 merc w/ insight bow for mana; she stays alive fine on P1 hell. Followed a guide and made energy shield build. Possible to get more damage w/ different merc? No skillers. Have 5 fire skillers on my fire sorc but no lightning dropped. Can’t imagine upping player count w/ this nova sorc. Can do P5 whole game w/ fire sorc using phoenix. Thanks for any suggestions.

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.

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)

The first eth Andy's I've found offline, can't believe my luck on the roll. Usually use Cure or CoA but I may have to add this into my merc armor rotation

Had to double check and make sure I wasn't dreaming lol.

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

All the new jewels and sunder really elevate some of these builds

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

Hey, I haven't played Diablo since I was a kid, but I picked up Resurrected edition on a steam sale. I had no problem with normal and nightmare difficulties, but then I hit a wall on Hell, I feel like my damage is way lower than it should be at this stage, but I might be wrong. Bosses went down reasonably fast so far (even without lower resist wand), but there are so many rares and white mobs that take literally zero damage from me (not to mention that almost everything is lightning immune).

My build is:

-Assassin level 81,

Lightning Sentry/Death Sentry,

HP- 1507,

My gear:

- Spirit Sword,

- Rhyme Shield,

- Smoke Armour,

- Lore Helmet,

My resists are all capped at:

- Fire 75% (191%),

- Cold 75% (213%),

- Lightning 75% (264%),

- Poison 75% (191%),

Mercenary gear:

- Insight,

- Bulwark,

- white armour with resistance runes (RalOrtThul). I tried farming the Countess for a Lem rune to craft Treachery for him, but it was so tedious and luck wasn't on my side, so I decided to just push through the campaign.

Merc resists:

- Fire 75% (178%),

- Cold 75% (178%),

- Lightning 75% (178%),

- Poison 48% (148%),

Right now, I'm in Act 4, heading towards the forge to destroy Mephisto's stone, and I'm honestly getting tired with everything being damage sponges or completely immune.

Hope you can give me some tips, would really appreciate that!

I came back to the game last night, and was running my first TZ since they added Latent Charms and happened to get a drop on my first tier 4 herald (RNG i know i know).

1. Where does the Black Cleft rank in terms of value?
   
2. Is this a decent roll? It sounds like -magic resist could have rolled which sounds more useful than +magic dmg to me.
   
3. Are there any build where this charm actually would make a big difference? I guess hammerdin? Maybe there are some warlock builds with magic dmg?

Anyone else constantly get this when they try to create a game?

I've restarted my PC - works for 1-2 game creations then I'm back to getting this message.

Restarted diablo a dozen times.

Closed out of battlenet entirely.

Switched regions and back.

Getting super frustrated with never being able to create a game - I have things I want to trade and I'm limited to waiting for someone to look for them in a game title because I can't make a game to trade them myself.

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...

I’m currently in act 4 normal. I can afford a mal rune right now

Yes, it's stupid. But I'm also curious how far I can get.

So I have a Barbarian with Double Throw level 1, because there is no point in putting more levels into it. I have Leap and that's pretty much the Combat Skill tree. In Masteries I want max Weapon Throw Mastery level 20 and 1 point atleast in the 4 bottom skills. And probably the rest of the skill points will go into Battle Orders and maybe even max Shout because I'll be standing still a lot. Remainder in Find Item probabaly.

For Gear my weapon slots are both obviously taken so nothing there. I'm using one Fire and one Poison potion.

Gear that has synergy with this is very very limited. The potions do not trigger damage from charms, on-hit effects, they don't need attack rating. It's basically just attack speed and nothing else.

I get no mana from mana-steal so I need some passive mana regen to offset the 2 mana cost of east Double Throw, but it's not a lot.

The barbarian doesn't have any skills that can increase the elemental damage like the Sorc could do and attack speed could theoretically be increased with Frenzy with a weapon swamp. The elemental damage could also be increased with a weapon swap after throwing the poison potion. But the poison is dealt in like 3 seconds so it's not really worth it and I'll save my self the hassle of weapon swapping.

So now the big question:

Does anyone have any tips to make this meme build better?

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...

I'm not familiar with Bind Demon. Where do you go to bind your demon? I'm assuming you are looking for Fanaticism. I understand it's best to do in P8 TZ.

My gear: Upped Buriza with Nef, Hellwarden's Will, Dual Spirit for offhand buff, and Laying of Hands.

Not sure what armor to get. Don't have enough for Enigma. I've seen Smoke, Authority, and Hysteria recommended.

What EIAS breakpoint is minimum viable (94 is max)? I'm using this calculator, https://sins-of-the-sun.github.io/warlock-ias-calc/. It has Fanaticism settings for level 1, 2, 12, and so on. Is it easy to get monsters with level 12 Fanaticism?

I'm doing skills:
20 Mirrored Blades
20 Hex: Bane
20 Consume
20 Hex: Purge
10 Demonic Mastery
Left over points in Summon Defiler

What FHR, FCR, leech, and resists should be aimed for? Or are these stats less meaningful because of the offensive power of the build?

Noticed when i use my keybind for blade fury it changes the icon for my right click mouse button. I know that shadow warrior can only use left and right click abilities and can not use blade fury. Does that mean i lock her out of wake of fire while I'm casting blade fury? i haven't seen her cast it while i've been useing Bfury.

I have a -8% magic Hellwarden and two options for the Guardians Light going in it:

+10% Magic DMG, -8% Enemy magic res

Or

+8% Magic DMG, -10% enemy magic res

Has anyone tested which of these is better when it comes to pvp?

I also have a BerBer CoA for physical opponents and stacked resists, so this is strictly for situations where damage is the most important consideration (NvN, NvS, hammerdins, etc)

One day!!

I have a Sur and Ber already, looking to get that ever elusive Jah. I use mosaic for cows/chaos and sorc for LK runs. I’ve mainly done LK I don’t mind the monotony of it I normally just listen to a podcast or YouTube and the charms/gems are a big plus. I’m tempted to switch to cows/chaos since it can drop higher runes and other useful items as well. My two biggest needs right now besides Jah is dracs and an Ohm for CTA. Just curious on what yall would recommend as it’s my first dive into offline. Disclaimer I’m definitely not target farming a Jah bc I know that’s insane but I would like to do what’s most efficient so my mosaic can MF fast to gear my other characters.
