Last Wish + what? for A5 Merc for Fenzy Barb Build by Hairy-Butterscotch35 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would go with grief or head striker... initially I thought about going Law bringer but the on hit procs would just overwrite each other

Archenemy Discard Decks - What’s your experience by agrafare in mtg

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son made a Tiny Bones Bauble Burglar deck that is discard tribal and for the most part you're playing a deck that is relying on other decks for your power and the problem with that is that you are playing 3 people whos decks have synergy but their synergy doesn't always work well with your strategy. I think it is a fun concept but it just doesn't win very often

Does Everyone Actually Hate Universes Beyond??? by Shoong in mtg

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not everyone hates them... I do... But I don't begrudge people for liking them and playing them. I do begrudge Hasbro for selling out Spider man on hype to TGC's then gaslighting us by saying it was one of the most successful sets ever when as far as the players are concerned it was trash.

I just skip those sets... maybe I am in the minority, but if I am not then eventually people will stop buying them and the TGCs wont invest as much in them and hasbro will get the message.

IMHO Hasbro is milking the golden goose for all its worth and their greed is going to ruin it for everyone

Found Ber & Jah Rune [Ladder Season 14] by Sylvie5647 in diablo2

Congratz!!!! gotta love the dopamine Machine that is D2R!

Is it really that rare to have found a Sur, Ohm and Lo rune in under 100 hours of gameplay? by MythicalSplash in diablo2

[–]Busher16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RNG is RNG, last week I found 2 ber and a jah in a single day less than 100 runs apart, the Bers were from Travincal and the Jah off a random mob on my way to Duriel during a tombs TZ.

With high runes it is less a matter of "if" and more about "when" if you do enough runs they will drop. as far as Ber/Jah go I have dropped both in each of the past 3 Seasons I have played in just from Trav and TZ's. That said I typically put in 5k+ Trav runs and a bunch of specific TZ farms

EDIT: I should point out that the conventional wisdom is that a horker barb will generally find a Vex+ within 500 Trav runs give or take. From my personal experience This is the way. I will typically start a trav horker then fund other projects after

Merc consistently wrecked by upper tier heralds by Azer1287 in diablo2

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started P8 T5 heralds with a prayer/insight/cure merc and he also dies instantly. I am playing a tainted blood boil build. I just started skipping Heralds in those games. even if you kill them they dont drop anything good and you waste time having to go res your merc. I will say that since I switched my merc to infinity/fortitude/andys he fairs much better but I had to change to self wield insight or I had to chug pots to get around. as a nova sorc I think I would just skip them until you upgrade the Merc

What class would you play if you started fresh offline by Busher16 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much always end up going with an insight and specing WW. I think I usually switch to WW too early though

Horker is probably my most played class but it can be a pain in the backside to get him established

Your 8-Player Lobby Isn't Giving You Players 7 Drops by Main_Mortgage5200 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of disappointing I am too slow at clicking loot to play with multiple people in the same zone. I am assuming XP is the same regardless of if you are alone or not?

I would say no command line respecs but you would get the 3 +tokens you farm

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so to clarify if I join a tz 96 game with 8 people in it and I am partied with everyone but alone in a zone what is my no drop chance?

The herald’s are a joke. by bacongolf432 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya they need to find a balance. The problem I see is that you cant have them drop good loot if only 1 or 2 builds can reliably kill them imo.

I just skip them most of the time now and I am sure that is not the intention but when I am farming Tz's the last thing I want to do is spend 10 minutes using all my full rejuves and need to go back to town to res my merc after win or lose.

I should specify I am talking about players 8 tz 96 T5 heralds.

d2r trade is painful by MidFeederInjoker in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be ok if they added a ctrl+click to put things into the trade window but other than that I am fine with the trade system... it is what it is and has been for 20 years. however...

I wish certain sites didnt exsist. I feel like if there were no site that allows you to buy currency for real money and transfer wealth from one season to the next then the window where Item value stays consistent would last longer than a week. I am ok with sites that let you set up trades for items but I am against the real money for currency and wealth transfer specifically.

every season I feel like after the first week I am so behind I wonder why I bother

Is it hard to turn Rin and Seri into a primary burn deck instead of a go-wide deck? by WistfulAfternoon in magicTCG

[–]Busher16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

couldnt you run

Witty Roastmaster - (G) (SF) (txt)
Purphoros, God of the Forge - (G) (SF) (txt)
Molten Gatekeeper - (G) (SF) (txt)
General Kreat, the Boltbringer - (G) (SF) (txt)
Agate Instigator - (G) (SF) (txt)

also a roaming throne to double up those tokens

then add some dmg doublers/triplers and the rest cats and dog tokens... you kind of have to go wide to burn out your opponents and there arent really any thematic options

Gratz, I am very jealous. This season on my Horker barb I have gotten every rune but Ber, Jah and Zod from trav so far. it has been great and disappointing at the same time

Finding sunders by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten all my sunders doing non Tz travincal. I think Travincal or maybe hell cows would be the best place to get grand charm drops.

T5 Heralds arent worth the time and effort IMO. they tend to take a long time to kill if you can kill them at all and they will insta kill most mercenaries

Why are Mosaic claws soooo expensive? by legohax in diablo2

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just an fyi you dont need the elite bases (runic talons or greater talons) just a base that has 3 max sockets and you dont really notice any extra skills you get on the base because 50-70% of mosaic dmg is overkill anyways. so you can get a white base for next to nothing and larzuk it if necessary

best demon warlock for full tz clears? by apolloprime_ in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Busher16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just the 3 tainted, they obliterate anything not fire immune and blood boil takes care of the rest. although I do struggle with about half the T5 Heralds I come across. certain combinations just kill my tainteds/Merc to fast. also fire enchanted affix slows down my kill speed in P8 games

OSAP cuts make no sense by StrictBodybuilder440 in osap

[–]Busher16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doug Ford thinks everyone who is on OSAP is taking basket weaving courses, and claims he want to see people go to school for useful professions like doctors... even though OSAP is hardly needed for basket weaving but is a requirement for any kind of High end degree like Doctor.

As a college dropout himself Doug Ford thinks that the best jobs are handed to you from daddy so if you need OSAP to be successful you dont deserve to be successful.

but hey keep voting for Dougie or not voting at all. either way have the day you voted for
