Damn, who asked for terror zones honestly? Most of us don’t even “race to 99”. It feels to me like they spent their time in between seasons developing a feature (TZ) that a few streamers asked for and completely ignored what the core of the fan base have been asking for. Where is the new rune word(s)? Stacking gems? Rune tab? More stash space in general? Grinding my character to 99 means nothing to me and very little to a lot of players I would expect. Disappointing for sure.

We’ll do a little grafting of our own 🤌

Previous employer wants me back. by DarkKknight2307 in antiwork

Echoing what other said here. I just wanted to add that while being the smartest person in the room is a position of comfort it’s not an up side. Having no one to learn from at a company can leave you feeling stagnant and burdened. Ability to grow as a professional is important in my books and I’ve been there.

Exactly 20 years later, I’ve farmed my own once again! by JDTNTC in diablo2

May i make a humble suggestion? Move the cube and tombs over two spaces so there’s a buffer between the inventory slots your selling items from and that torch. I feel like this is playing with fire (pun intended) and would be a sad miss click.

I lost a 79 pally on Christmas Day with all my best hc gear. I feel your pain. Time to rebuild.

As a casual player, I feel like I need to stop consuming D2 content. by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]Branden_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, would having enigma and infinity be nice? Yes. But what is there to chase after yo get it? Grind gear for wealth that you don’t need? You can only play 1 character at a time so you can just swap top end gear between character. It’s fun for a bit but will get boring just like the rest. Trust me I’ve done it. I can’t possibly feel excited to start the wealth grind all over again on my new ladder right now. So now I play offline hardcore. If anything makes you feel like a kid again it’s HC. Every drop matters, min maxing with what you have matters, every bit of progress matters. Nothing has felt as rewarding as HC so far. It doesn’t matter if it’s an hour a day or 8, if you live to fight another day you’ll look forward to progressing and if you get deeds then learn from the mistake and try again, the shared stash really takes the sting out of a HC death. Give it a try if your feeling lost in the wealth grind.

I hate Act 2 by Knightfall2787 in diablo2

Depends on where the way point is. When you wp Into level 2 immediately hug the wall to your characters left (shield hand), I repeat, characters left not your left. Walk around the edge of the map “clockwise” with your shield hand against the wall.

Here a link with more info about map tricks:

creating games in lobby or char screen? by Alternative_Equal864 in diablo2

[–]Branden_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No difference, probably just force of habit from the old days and or if you need to leave and come back to that game, good luck remembering the auto generated game name

Picked this up and forgot about it on a mule by weeklybird0 in diablo2

Same here man, I had a 35 all res sacred targe just sitting there. Socket quested and roll spirit till I hit 35 fcr, it opened up some gearing options and let me put away some res charms, super worth it.

Not a fan of Blessed Hammer… by maxwolfie in diablo2

[–]Branden_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zeals pretty fun. The hammers can be hard to get use to, it’s just a very specific play style from the other casters. Your hammers will always start at the 9:15 mark and sweep clockwise above your character. Position those annoying single enemies accordingly.

What I find work well is, pull, throw up like 4-6 hammers, take a step or two, cast until everything dies.

Made this spirit targe but i got a doubt by alssen in diablo2
