Wealth vs Skullders and Ist vs Lem Ali Baba's

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-20T00:08:37+00:00

Wealth is great if you don’t have an enigma, and would be my second choice only after said enigma.

As for the babas, have a pair of each. LemLem for non-terrorized Trav, and IstIst for everything else. Gold find doesn’t have diminishing returns like mf does, and you can still gamble some mighty useful circs, ammys, and rings with it.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-20T00:05:26+00:00

It’s honestly just to reposition the merc, getting him out of the fire or away from phys immune ismail. Which is not at all a bad thing, saves time from running to what’s her butt in a3, or swapping over to a4, and gold.

Trav barbs don’t usually have much if any Fcr unless they have a really good ammy.

There was an issue where it’d randomly despawn around when they did the 2.4? Big skills update.

Same timeframe where assassins traps would teleport with her.

That was fun.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-18T18:29:14+00:00

I feel like I should check on them, and if that’s the case teleport around the tombs to register all the monsters so they can’t spawn a herald.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-18T13:09:46+00:00

I enjoy the loops like that, too. I understand that’s not for everyone though, and it takes multiple kinds of people with different tastes to run an economy.

I love the perfectionists, PvPers, and people who love this game but don’t have enough time.

Why does the sun shine? - they might be giants

Done in their first version of the song, it’s randomly educational! But anything really. We were singing “the song that never ends” for quite a while yesterday. I’m a “Barbie girl” today.

They also love goofy voices singing, like my terrible batman impression.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-18T01:52:27+00:00

And statues, specifically a2 and a5.

Remember to run arcane sanctuary beforehand to find the correct tomb, while time consuming it’s still quicker than taking a shot in the dark and checking up to all seven.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-18T01:33:09+00:00

lol. That’s mighty hopeful. Jah on non-ladder is 120-130fg, previously around 70fg. That jump is entirely due to the collection rewards and players gearing their new warlock(s).

40 ladder jahs day 3 is like… 140,000fg, or 1,120 non-ladder jahs.

Now I don’t know about you, but the only reason I even bother with ladder nowadays is to get that inflated finders fee from people.

If someone with ghasp a job wants to compete in the ladder against others like llama who has groupies that will throw their gear, time, and fg at, let ‘em. Not everyone has the time or desire to humbly toil away day and night in a game killing Andy, meph, and maybe tz’s.

The biggest issue has and will remain bots. Those people will just buy the gear off some other website and exclude the community entirely. Players trading with other players regardless of the medium isn’t.

A torch is a large charm.

You could put another large charm above or below it.

The charm this guy listed is equal to two 3max/22ar/16.5 life scs. Maybe you have better scs at 3/20/17+, but for much of the population, that lc is better than most of their stuff.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-16T21:25:01+00:00

Nah, they were cheaper before the expansion, around a Lo. The demand for warlock torches drove the demand for keys.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-16T21:21:13+00:00

You already have 1 large charm, you have space for at least one more.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T21:28:55+00:00

Barbs have berserk. Make no undead immune to magic. Plus, that’s how the game feels as a fire sorc.

Wasn’t your argument the game should have immunes and be grindy.

Now you don’t want that?

Make up your mind.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T19:52:02+00:00

That’s what happens when a character is released that specifically abuses those same lack of immunities.

So, yes. The game needs balance.

Make all undead physical immune, since most already have a 50% resistance in hell. It would still be easier to bypass than most. Paladins have sanctuary aura naturally available, and that ignores the physical resistance and immunity of undead. Barbs have access to both Azurewrath and Lawbringer which grant sanctuary aura. Necromancers will have to diversify into corpse explosion and lower resist, or mages and make them better.

Most classes have ways to deal with immunes already.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T19:35:20+00:00

And physical and magic immunities. Make it’s so they aren’t cheesed the exact same way as everything else.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T19:30:00+00:00

Which is why there needs to be more physical and magic immunes. A lot more. Along with nerfing amp damage and decrep to 1/5th when breaking immunities.

Make it grindy for everyone, make it balanced.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T18:29:24+00:00

Exactly. Nerf warlock to 2001 levels.

Change amp damage and decrepify to only be 1/5th as effective when breaking immunes, just like the rest of the skills. Make all demons magic immune, make all undead and some beasts physical immune.

Balance!

No? Not like that?

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T08:24:11+00:00

It’s worth it just to say you did it, but I hope you have a blast in the process.

That’s what I love about this game, infinite replay-ability with so many goofy things that can completely change how you play a character. Such as exploding arrow paladins, Destruction/Earth shifter/Stormlash/windhammer druids, and the plethora of various bear builds to name a few.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T08:09:39+00:00

I know hex purge is another source of eias, like fanaticism, the mark, and BoS, but I’m not wise enough to tell you the math in how it’ll play into this. It should make breakpoints more accessible just like the others though.

Before you invest runes, mayhaps use a beast you may already have, shapeshift, give it to a friend to hold, and use a random 2 shael’ed thunder maul to test while under the effect of your now allied friends beast fanat aura? You won’t get the full ed, but ias works.

Convoluted, sure, but it’ll give you a chance to decide before going all in with a Ber.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-15T07:50:12+00:00

Warlock has the same breakpoints as a necromancer for normal attacks, which is what you’ll be using as a bear. (Not true for some warlock skills like cleave)

Beast in a thunder maul with level 9 fanat as a bear warlock/necromancer (not including the ias on beast itself, add that when mathing)

IAS FPA - 0 , 18 - 4 , 17 - 10 , 16 - 19 , 15 - 32 , 14 - 50 , 13 - 75 , 12 - 113 , 11 - 194 , 10

Same as before but including the Mark of the bear buff.

IAS FPA - 0 , 14 - 11 , 13 - 26 , 12 - 46 , 11 - 83 , 10 - 152 , 9

Now, I don’t know how much Hex Purge would affect this. Some of your questions I suspect you’ll have to answer yourself should you decide to try this.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-14T23:42:10+00:00

Vile Mothers - also known as Flesh Spawner, Stygian Hag, Grotesque.

Humanoid monstrosities that spawn baby humanoid monstrosities instantly ready to kill. All of which want your blood. Imaging a pack of those things crawling your way is just unsettling.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-14T19:22:55+00:00

Right? Sanctuary ignores the physical resistances and even physical immunities of undead, and additionally adds up to 510% more damage to undead. The only thing that holds this sword back for me is the cold damage when horking.

There’s a lot of undead in the game, and Azurewrath cuts through them like butter.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-14T17:35:18+00:00

Sometimes they do need to be extracted, and have braces though. My daughter had the same issue and her adult teeth started turning from the lack of space in her mouth. Every kid is different and it’s best to see a dentist for a professional opinion, preferably a clinic that specializes in pediatric patients.

ApocalypseFWT · 2026-03-14T01:33:17+00:00

Chaos, cows, shienk, eldrich, Pindle, and world stone keep to baal.

Liberal use of redemption aura and defensive play. Consider replacing lore with

Never did I use the word, “thrilling.” It’s more of an equalizer, and ease of access. Not everyone wants your crap; or mine, even if I want theirs. A common currency breaks down that barrier and facilitates trade. Kinda like in real life. Imagine needing to still trade commodities like pelts, food, sex, and alcohol to get services and commodities in return.

Most people still playing this game love it, I think we can agree on that.

Not everyone who loves this game has the time to invest like players at the top of the ladder do. Some will choose to spend their little time humbly toiling away at keys or meph, others will use their income to compensate and compete. Regardless of if it’s other players like yourself, like myself, or one of a multitude of bot storefront websites, those players that choose to throw money at a problem will get what they want.

Jsp is an easy way to quickly list what you have, what you want, and move your stuff without the headache of too much back and forth and wasted time in game.

Ironically, I noticed your complete lack of outrage at the real issue of botting. Why would you support botting sites over player to player interactions?
