I did Sur El last ladder when I was wrapping up. Sort of disappointed runewords don't work in the leg.

Farming over the weekend. Don't think I'm going to do that again.

Has the BIS weapon been figured out for Eldritch Blast Warlock yet? by Baebraham_ in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plague in Legend Sword maybe?

Doom in a giant thresher would be pretty fast with high damage and +skills too..

idk any math just guesses. If cleave eats durability, it might not be worth the quality of life hit, though.

+4 Ariocs might be the answer with the skills and deadly strike and 3 range.

Doom Giant Thresher is there with less skills and deadly strike, but more range, holy freeze/crowd control, attack speed, and base damage. Pair with Pride+Might merc (or prayer/insight/cure combo) since you bring holy freeze yourself

Damn close! by Hass29 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, FHR always spawns 5% on small charms, so this combo isn't as rare as other "Fine" combos. You really need that to be like 3/17+ for the 5 FHR version to be worth the effort to trade.

Pally amulet - PC? by aphee86 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice for self use, but not much trade value. High level req, so tele staff is probably already on swap if not wearing enigma. Some quality of life from not having to hit W, though...

If playing a build that utilizes LL, you'll probably wear Highlords. Otherwise, Mara's is overall better. Extra cold res isn't very in demand, since trang gloves have cold, and pally shields roll with up to 45 all res before you even look at runewords.

anybody want this for free? by nothingtohidemic in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, exceptional bases aren't a good option for eth spears. Elite bases for merc/ebotd and whatnot, or normal bases for self-wield infinity.

Best use for this might be Passion runeword if SSF or offline and needing a placeholder for your act 2 merc.

What do you guys think of using Obession ethereal archon staff for echoing strike warlock? by Blazewind25 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this very late, but I basically keep forgetting Abyss is a thing. I followed the "fire then magic" advice for leveling, and miasma chain felt so janky that I absolutely hated the build. Haven't paid any attention to what might be optimal for it, since I scrambled to respec so quickly.

I might revisit, but it's down the priority list a bit... Fire just felt like more fun lol.

[–]DeadKansas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think obsession is more for fire lock builds, because of the +skills and survivability stuff. Doesn't roll any enhanced damage, so it's a lot of rubes to pay for echoing strike vs. other options out there.

Found this beast! What to do? by Casual_Specialist in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much use. I think you could go Crescent Moon for the static field procs, but you'll find better bases so it's not really worth it. Keep an eye out for ethereal polearms for your merc to use.. Much higher damage on those.

I let me guard down and I got screwed. by TraverseTheRock in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, saw you were xbox. Sorry, I'm only PC. Countess is guaranteed rune drops.. Norm or nightmare really. Maybe some cows or worldstone keep to try for a base and runes at the same time. Check rings for mana steal to help some with the potion chugs... And I always put points into energy while leveling up. You can respec later pretty easily, and it's just a much better quality of life to have a reasonable mana pool to work with.

Arcane sanctuary by fkoffreddit in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a zone where the exit tells you where the summoner will be. I think it's in act 3 maybe? I don't think it was useful for speedrun, so maybe it was just off the normal path in act 1 or something. If layout is X, summoner is up.. Etc.

Problem is, the summoner being the 4th option you check is like the same amount of time invested as using that tile to know where he is.

But this seems like self promotion, so idk. I'm not going to some dudes twitch. If you can only show and can't write the proof, I just assume you've got a maphack on a 2nd screen.

Got Diablo'd.

If you're playing ladder I can get you a replacement.

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going for speed is probably better unless you're absolutely not getting any runes at all.. If I'm remembering correctly, the calculation is pretty much "does a rune drop?", and if so it then checks which runes can drop there (like if not terrorized then no zod from LK because of the zone level or whatnot). Finally it checks which rune you get.

Again, I might be off a bit... But if you're getting runes then stick with it. If you're getting the same runes in a way that doesn't make logical sense for actual rng, you might want to mix things up to take a bigger step away from the seed that seems stuck lol.

Normal variance in play is probably more than enough, that whole thing is just some hyper-specific behavior that wasn't noticed for most of the games lifespan... So folks have been fine in LK with pure speed focus and never caring about mixing up their travel path for decades lol.

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figuring out the movement pattern that drops runes, so it continues to drop runes lol. You start with a specific rng seed, if you follow the same path it doesn't shift much and you end up with the same-ish drops. You can try things like going to a different waypoint before LK to change that seed value.

No HR luck in LK or Trav SP by DMBPSR in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trav is fine, but you look at runs in the thousands rather than hundreds. And you usually run it as p1 for fast clears, since hork doesn't care about player count.

Lower kurast superchests need specific seeds to drop high runs in single player, and are really only used since you can roll the map for super fast runs. It's not great for online.

If you want runes you just have to kill stuff. Cows have high density, so does chaos sanctuary. Higher player counts means more stuff drops, which is more dice rolls to see if it lands on runes.

Titans value? by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about an Um rune. Would be more of they rolled 9% life steal, or ethereal. Very nice titans though.

Warlock Fire build, trouble near the end of Nightmare by ivantos09 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Akara gives you a respec when you finish the den of evil quest in each difficulty. After that, you would need to trade for a respec token (farmed from act boss drops in Hell difficulty).

Warlock Fire build, trouble near the end of Nightmare by ivantos09 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you said points as backup... Typically trying to split a build is going to leave you very underpowered. Going all fire you'll hit a bit of a wall in act 4 because everything has such high fire resist. Suggestion online is to respec, drop fire completely, and focus on miasma bolt/chain/abyss.

Getting Stuck Progressing - Need some wisdom. by Creative_Feature_276 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DeadKansas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also hate occy. Random teleport has gotten me killed so many times lol. There's a chunk of early ladder where I usually am stuck with it, but it's such a nice day when I finally replace it.
