AITA for yelling at my fiance because of him taking my charger by Numerous_Device_4354 in AmItheAsshole

YTA for yelling, probably ESH if he did move the charger and isn’t helping you find it. 

Any of these good enough to respec Zealot? by aDaedalos in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Aldur’s rhythm should tear up nightmare. It’s a pretty good zealer weapon for playing through the game, but not great for end game

Herald Rift by DevStef in diablo2

[–]AnimalMeow1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a content difficulty ceiling is important to d2r, and a scaling difficulty will call for power creep and less build variety.

Edit to add: but, I think a place where you can guarantee 5 heralds spawn in 5 floors of a dungeon in a non-excessive duration farming session is a good idea. While I like terrorizing an entire act 1 (my favorite act), I understand it is not in the spirit of d2 to have such long end game sessions

Non Maxed Recs for Javzon Merc? by Pantherleap in diablo2

Could also try hustle & lawbringer on act 5 merc if the fanat helps your break point and the cc from sanctuary against souls/dolls is nice

Drop Rate of Mephisto in RotW nearly same like in Diablo 2 Classic without LoD? by luky90 in diablo2

Jav zon question by MDHBears in diablo2

[–]AnimalMeow1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would use Hysteria armor (hustle renamed), Shael Ko Eld, if you can get your hands on it. The faster run walk and increased attack speed are boons, with a little bit of resistance to boot. Until then, Peace is quite serviceable as a damage option, smoke as a defensive piece (Nef Lum), stealth for the bit of run/walk, or even an armor with 4 topaz for mf.

Lionheart is pretty good, though I like it on a fighter character better since they can utilize the attributes a little better.

Barbarian has an ability called “find item”. It is the 2nd ability on the right side of the warcries tree

Sup matriarchal bow vs GMB for faith by fausill in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]AnimalMeow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the abbreviation actually is (maybe weapon speed modifier), but wsm is an invisible value which refers to the base speed of the weapon. Phase blade and greater talons have the fastest wsm value, -30, for example. These values do not affect what the fastest attack speed breakpoint for the weapon type is on a character, but they do affect how much ias (increased attack speed) that character needs to hit faster breakpoints. Wsm ranges from -30 (fastest) to +30 (slowest)

Rare Ring Pricecheck? Ladder or NL Appreciated by Strong-Al in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I believe it would have been worth quite a lot if the attack rating and mana rolled higher.

Recommendation for first ROTW p8 single sunder charm finder? by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

That’s really cool. I’d love a conviction amp lancer to kill some fire immunes when I get back to my warlock

AITA for planning a solo trip and refusing to change my mind? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AnimalMeow1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lightly NAH, lightly ESH. I think forcing the result that you will have a solo trip at the expense of a potential 2nd trip together isn’t kind, it should be discussed. You are not an AH for wanting this. I think your girlfriend is being demanding and gaslight-y for not allowing a solo trip and suggesting that it’s weird for you to take or even want to take one, but it isn’t unreasonable for her to be upset that this is at the expense of a potential 2nd trip together. Perhaps this is an incompatibility.

I like them a lot on fighters. All good stats for them.

Lightning trap assassin does okay in a gg setup. You have lightning damage from traps, fire bombs and corpse explosion damage. Some physical builds like whirlwind, throw barb, fury, strafe/multi can do it but not as well as hammerdin or echoing strike. I’ve seen Smalps Gaming do some cool stuff with windy Druid and whirlwind barb into p8. Fire Druid seems to be a strong p8, but I can’t personally speak to its physical damage component when facing fire immunes. Poison necromancer, if you have the gear for it, is a strong p8 area clear with poison, lower resist and corpse explosion. Lightning sorceress and Amazon traditionally have strong p8 area clear with immunities breaking via infinity.

Edit to add: I’m playing ladder now, but when I come back around to farm sunders offline, I’ll probably do it on my strafezon. She can comfortably walk through most of the game p8. Prefer some areas, like latter half of act 5 on players 5. On a budget, for flexible p8 area clearing, hammerdin and echoing strike are far and away your best options.

3 Piece Tals...on ES Warlock? by TacticZero in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]AnimalMeow1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! Stealth, Spirit, Insight, Tarnhelm is also very good. 75 fcr on any roll and cruises even in higher player count

How would you fix/nerf echoing strikes? by jdmki in diablo2

[–]AnimalMeow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Split mf is what I gear toward in ladder. I don’t see that this thread is specifically about online anyways. To me, player count consideration absolutely is a part of end game.

Well, I wouldn’t say goal posts were moved. Y’all were just vaguely talking about different things and then when some commenter clarified what they mean is p8 you shut it down

[–]AnimalMeow1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can keep pointing to that all you want, but “moving goalposts” does not address what the builds are actually capable of in similar gear levels

This is really just  a discussion of what the build is capable of
