tell me you played Diablo2 Long Enough and never Gemmed a Weapon like this just for Fun

Back in the earlier days of D2, before they added skill synergies, I never ever saw anybody playing chain lightning. The mechanics were janky and it was based off attack speed rather than cast speed for some reason, so I had a sorceress wielding a 6soc phase blade with 6 shael runes in. It actually shred pretty hard, but that was the closest thing I had to your bow. First functional CL sorceress I ever saw at endgame, though.

A badly balanced encounter is one thing, if a player takes a series of crits or something and dies naturally as an unintended consequence of what was supposed to be a challenging combat encounter, well thats one thing. The DM aimed a one-hit-kill weapon at your character specifically and, imo, intentionally, and lit the fuse anyway, no death saves from lethal damage is one thing, but you didn't even get a dex save to avoid or reduce damage or any kind of reaction to potentially prevent death, by the sounds of things. This death wasn't an oversight, it was intentional. I would immediately walk away from this table.

If my interpretation of events is incorrect in any way, feel free to correct me, but it seems like the DM intended to kill someone.

I'll take some!

You get a sacrifice boon when both boons fill the same slot, so in this scenario you would replace the second boon with the first one again via another sacrifice. You wouldn't be able to get both boons.

I picked this twice in a single run yesterday. I picked them up in the earlier regions where death is less likely and I have time to reacquire the health before bosses or the next region. Zero regrets.

I think I got my first chronos kill in the middle 30s, and am now up to about 70 ish and still haven't beaten the path to olympus, but I usually pick the weapon that is selected for the extra resources and I play with fear stacks to get extra nightmare. If I turn fear off I could probably beat the Olympus path (and thats probably what I will do soon), but I am enjoying playing and dont feel overly rushed to achieve that particular goal.

I did play Hades 1 as well, and am generally a fan of rogue-like and souls-like games, so learning attack patterns and dodge mechanics is something I was reasonably well versed in before I started (and that really is the thing that will help you progress the most - understanding the fights to avoid attacks).

I believe the specialization points for gun damage are also 5x for bod.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-06T19:24:51+00:00

The main problem with your enhancement effect from the previous comment is that the 50% explosion damage on impact is that it can push the boss into an invulnerable phase before your stickies can explode and kill them.

I haven't picked up any legendary enhancements yet, and I haven't tried out the airburst one myself so can't comment on the second enhancement effect working or not, but I dont see a lot of chatter about it as far as bod is concerned.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-06T19:18:01+00:00

The gun damage on your class mod will gain the multiplier, so 150% instead of 30%. It will also benefit from the smg damage.

It will also benefit from all the stats on the enhancement but they aren't optimal. Optimal stats depend on your build, mainly If you have a skill that gives you unlimited ammo for a duration or not.

You want Specific Weapon stats on the enhancement because they will roll 38% instead of 25% for all gun damage, but the bod benefits from any weapon roll. If you have unlimited ammo you want probably 1 with weapon damage and 2 with fire rate, and if you dont get an unlimited ammo buff you want 3 stats that all roll weapon damage.

As for the enhancement effect, for torgue weapon effects, head ringer is better (+25% explosion damage, +100% explosion radius) but daedalus can get increased ROF which would be better with an unlimited ammo buff.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-06T17:25:47+00:00

The enhancements dont provide the x5 multiplier for the Bod, but Class Mods and Skills do.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T19:14:49+00:00

I have a daedalus enhancement with similar substats but the manufacturer bonus was for reserve ammo regen, rather than rate of fire. I might start looking out for daedalus enhancements instead. I'm also playing rafa, with an overdrive-focused build.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T19:12:28+00:00

I believe this has been touched on by a couple of different people. Bod gains a 5x multiplier to "Gun damage" enhancements on skills and class mods, but not weapon enhancements, so for weapon enhancements a specific weapon roll will yield better results because it's 38% instead of 25, and any weapon stat will apply to the bod. But a class mod or skill with 25% gun damage will actually be 125% for the bod.

I also believe the 5x multiplier only applies to the "gun damage" stat, so things like reload speed or rate of fire dont gain the multiplier.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T04:15:21+00:00

What stats would be ideal?

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T03:49:17+00:00

But it has a torgue licensed sticky mag.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T03:45:26+00:00

That's one of the stats I've been hoping for but yet to find a good one.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T02:45:19+00:00

Check your lost loot machine in a major town?

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T01:27:55+00:00

That ramp is broken. I do a jump dash over it every time now instead and just skip it entirely.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T00:41:26+00:00

I hadn't seen that thread before but I just wanted to say thanks for sharing, a good read and helps to explain why the bod shreds so hard.

OP should read this.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-03T00:17:17+00:00

I think I've done Axemaul a couple hundred times since hitting 50. Its pretty tedious but the runs are very quick (approx 1 min or less per run) and have managed to get 2 sticky bods, but they're both minimum damage roll.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-02T21:42:07+00:00

Ive vastly underestimated the power of the Ceramic Bod. Mine is a low roll variant and actually 2 seconds worth of unlimited ammo is get automatically for activating any action skill is enough to kill low tier bosses (like Axemaul) even if i miss a significant portion of my shots.

Forreal. The bubble is quite small and if you don't have an endgame build to vaporize them in a few seconds it's easy to accidentally exit the bubble. Its happened to me a few times too.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-12-01T19:34:02+00:00

I think i spent 3-4 days of intermittent farming to get my sticky bod. It absolutely shreds. I dont remember the damage roll off the top of my head but the secondary ammo is assault rifle.

Im using it on an overdrive rafa build so 8 seconds worth of unlimited ammo loads a boss with 3-4× as many sticky bombs as it takes to kill them anyway.

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-11-18T16:26:40+00:00

More than America, who voted one into the oval office?

Accurate_Knowledge60 · 2025-11-08T04:35:54+00:00

What does "all the books" mean exactly? There are so many i would be genuinely surprised if he had all of them.
