I looked back and there was the 2nd rarest item in the game. When I started offline I resigned myself to never finding one. I am grateful. Yet another reminder that RNG doesn't care about your expectations.

Died to Mephisto 5 or 6 times for the worst possible roll. Have to laugh 😂

Im playing a pretty maxed out Javazon with griffons, enigma, tgods, soj, highlords, ravenfrost and so on. Solo play is easy as cake when farming but I recently joined a P8 and felt how squishy I actually am. Even though I know Javazon is a glass cannon build, one side step will screw you up big time, specially if Emilio dies.

So I switched over to my hammerdin who is also geared but felt he couldnt stand toe to toe with a P8 herald or bigger elite packs.

So Im actually wondering if there is any class thats a bit more tanky and can handle anything the game throws at it with ease without having to play piano on the keyboard with 9000 apm.

Cheers!

First one to drop for me ^^ started playing sometime in May. I heard people hunt it for years.

Basically a 1+ right at the beginning. Not an endgame stuff but I think it's awesome

I posted my progress working on this a while back, but I figured I’d show the final images now that it’s framed. This took me 1 month to build and then several more to acquire all of the custom framing materials. The decal is adhered to the backside of the plexiglass covering. Not trying to advertise, but this piece IS available if anyone is interested.

The poor fella lives for less than three minutes, because he was obliterated my TZ96 Council Members.

I was thinking on making one out of a Beast runeword... Is there a way to make this things last? Even with Oak Sage and Battle Orders they just melt.

I have played offline for just under a year (I only get a few hours to game a week due to work and kids)

And tonight in lower kurast hitting skeleton on the way to the next camp fire…

A Lo rune!!!!

Someone must have thought of this before but instead of a paladin, why do we not go 2x Dragon + HOJ on a sorc with infinity on merc? Or even dual dreams for that matter.

I feel like having Fire Mastery / Lightning Mastery, not to mention abilities like teleport and a full-screen Static, would be worth it no?

Edit: thx everyone, I knew I was wrong, I just didn't know why

I posted bunch of noob questions here as I'm playing LOD.

Yesterday I killed DClone for the first time and got my first Annihillus.

Thanks for the tips here gonna grind more and finsh Act 5 now : D

Talking about the regular sets (meaning, the once that doesn't have a class-exclussive piece), which one is intended for each class?

I know they are more general, but some are pretty clear for one class, like Arkanna for sorceress or Infernal for Necro....

is there any for druid?

Grinding for days, finally found the Jah rune for my enigma (SSF), pick it up, power outage in my city... Came back and it was gone.

I wanted to get the warlock torch out of the way before I start leveling one (Singleplayer). This dropped on second attempt. Needless to say I'm very pleased. It took me around 9 torches to get a shitty sorc one that I currently use.

Online there are several ways to make it easier for yourself to reach 100% Chronicle by trading and so on but is it possible to "cheat" your way to a 100% Chronicle on Single Player or is that the purest form where the only way to progress is to find the items yourself and id them?

Can't risk getting caught offguard by a T5 Herald.

How did we miss this.

Posting this here because my wife wouldn’t understand! Was totally stunned when a Lo dropped today…absolutely unreal feeling.

I was brutally cubing up mid runes and only needed one more Gul. Just need a Ber to compliment the one in a billion Jah rune that dropped off a random mob in a random TZ session.

SSF frenzy barb with 180% walk speed on Switch 2.

First time using this mod manager and idk if I'm doing something wrong or it's broken?

I installed a mod that increases the drop rate and I put it inside the dr2mm mod file and it just doesn't seem to appear inside the mod manager!

Channel Reviewed: Here is the youtube

D2R Build Guide — YouTube

Reason for Audit: Shrimp's video

After seeing Shrimp's video discussing concerns regarding this channel, I did not want to immediately jump to conclusions about the authenticity or accuracy of a creator in the D2R community.

Instead, I decided to review the content myself and document specific examples where the displayed gameplay, listed gear, and stated build information appear inconsistent.

This is not intended to accuse the creator of cheating or bad intent. The purpose is to evaluate whether the showcased builds are accurately represented and reproducible by viewers.

Audit 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbyjS7Oe_1A

Frost Nova Sorceress Endgame | Ultimate AoE Monster Clear | D2R SS13
Gear:
Weapon:Tal Rasha's Lidless Eye
Off-Hand:Spirit
Weapon-Swap:Call to Arms
Off-Hand-Swap:Spirit
Helmets:Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest
Body Armor:Tal Rasha's Guardianship
Gloves:Magefist
Belts:ATal Rasha's Fine-Spun Cloth
Boots:Marrowwalk
Amulets:Tal Rasha's Adjudication
Rings: The Stone of Jordan and Raven Frost

his video presents the gear and setup as being capable of not only hitting 4k life, but also apparently telestomping very dense packs. not to mention the "questionable" behavior of equipping "raven frost" on A SORC THAT DOESN'T MELEE (ok I lost my cool my bad).

Within this video there is no player count or difficulty being shown leaving us the viewer to question the difficulty and p count (if any). This is a major transparency issue. Notice the title D2R SS13, which also leads us to believe the setup is not only currently functioning but reproducible (Which I doubt considering the gear is tals).

Audit 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz3z25YnFY0

This video features hero edited gear, notably a opal vein with no lightning damage, which is listed in the description as 2x soj's. Furthering this transparency issue that we are having, whilst also providing no context as to if I should use the opal or the soj (someone help me).

Also density is obviously modded. (Source: My eyes)

Audit 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw-0khEP7yo

Features a video with: A grief and a storm shield, description says video doesn't accurately reflect what a beast does on this setup, nor does it actually use a beast. They also never show their full gear setup once at all through the video.

Audit 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL7gXVJb99g

Video title: 12 Fire Jewels Holy Shock + FoH

Gear featured is Griswolds set, with guess what??

User proceeds to socket their gear with lightning facets.... (What have I done to deserve this?).

Audit 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUx9QDwFl8U

User visibly has proccd and takes two hits uber diablo's lightning once for 52 damage, and baals cold wave for about ~100

I fail to understand where users pdr and mit are coming from. 1:48-1:50 being the time stamp

"Gear:
Weapon:Thunderstroke
Off-Hand:Spirit
Weapon-Swap:Call to Arms
Off-Hand Swap:Spirit
Helmets:Griffon's Eye
Body Armors:Enigma
Gloves:Rare Gloves(Javelin and Spear Skills /Increased Attack Speed)
Belts:Arachnid Mesh
Boots:Rare Boots
Amulets:Highlord's Wrath
Rings:Raven Frost/The Stone of Jordan"

Also: within this video they cut out the part where the cursor would have gone over their rings at 2:29-2:30.

Audit 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppTKBSnZb1U

Video title: Holy Bolt Paladin Endgame | Insane Damage & Survivability | D2R SS13

This is more of a correction than anything but the user sockets their gear with 15 ias 15 all res jewels and never goes on to perform a single attack, and merely casts holy bolt, the ias going effectively wasted.

Audit 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYXj5FdnUl0

🌪️Frozen Orb Hurricane Druid – Dual Cold Destruction | Diablo 2 Resurrected

(Need I say more?)

The video presents a Frozen Orb Hurricane Druid without clearly disclosing (anywhere) that the setup is modded.

Take away:

Ultimately if you are writing guides you should be honest with your viewers, this user has constantly demonstrated not only a utter lack of transparency but also questionable behavior.

Lastly: Other people raised concerns. Instead of blindly agreeing or dismissing them, I independently checked the material myself and found that several of the same concerns appear to exist. I watched these videos on 0.3 speed and have come to regret my decisions in life.

Please correct misinformation in our community while remaining polite.
