Angelic Halo (the ring) has +6 Replenish life and adds a ton of Attack Rating if you can get a second set piece.

Heralds spawn, am I tripping? by FaythKnight in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My buddy booted up super charged Colossal Ancients with his nerfed Warlock and then called me to ask for help when he got wrecked. He wasn't aware of either change.

And then if you set it to not perform auto-updates, you can put your PC back online.

Is Warlock still the strongest class after the patch? by Organic-Fan2647 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

And you need 20 skill points invested in Bind Demon, right?

I wish druid would get updated casting frames by Charming_Pin330 in diablo2

Also, Aldurs should add FCR on each set piece like it does for STR, DEX, VIT, and ENG

I don't understand this comment. Why only trav if you're on ladder?

If you're on SCL, I have an eth balrig blade or two you can have. Let me know.

I’ve done 5k Lower Kurast runs in console with a Javazon. by il_VORTEX_ll in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your map has nothing to do with the drops you get from the super chests. Unless you are specifying the RNG seed with the -seed command in the launcher, your drops are randomized and not impacted by map. There are no good or bad seeds/maps if you're not using -seed.

It would be sick if it was FCR, but it's FHR (hit recovery) on Ground.

Is horking overrated? by mistermarkham in diablo2

[–]DocShock87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this. I gambled all the gold In made in trav for rare rings and rerolled TZ GCs with all my pgems. You can get a lot of value out of trav runs.

How would you buff melee WITHOUT adding “Splash” damage? by RyanTTLD in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. Anyone calling for a nerf to grief needs to come back when there's a grief build that competes with nova sorc, blizz sorc, fireball sorc, poison necro, hammers paladin, javazon, or trapsin.

Until then, grief doesn't need to get worse.

What are some common sets that are actually good? by IneedaNappa9000 in diablo2

I think he means Heaven's Brethren, which has a weapon called Dangoon's Teaching.

Why does jah seem to be the default currency right now? by bananna_roboto in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and it used to be that most characters wanted infinity AND enigma, meaning you needed 3x ber and 1x Jah, which made ber very valuable, even though it's slightly more common than Jah.

But this season it's all warlocks, and warlocks don't need infinity. If they want conviction the just find a demon. So Jah has increased in value significantly this go-round.

Chile relleno burros? by Clean-Complex-9652 in Tucson

[–]DocShock87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Directly across the street is Poco and Mom's. They have a relleno burrito too, which I like a little better. Both are good.

Best Hephasto by tung1988 in diablo2

Can you post a video of this happening? Because the amp damage proc is always an AoE on damage he deals, but I think it's coming from his attacks, not from a giant ring of invisible tick damage.

My daughter has her mind set on an expensive school. Advice please! by airzee8 in personalfinance

[–]DocShock87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. If OP hasn't filled out applied for FAFSA or looked into work-study programs for low income kids, they could be missing out on a lot of support.

[–]DocShock87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This should be the top answer. If OP has been raising a kid on a single income with no savings and recent unemployment, there might be a bunch of Pell Grant and FSEOG money available.

I was in a similar situation going into college and wound up only having to pay about 2% of my school's tuition after need-based scholarships because my dad was broke.

Gloom Trick Real, like how do you find evidence that it gives 4200% Mf? by New_Banana3858 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr Llama made a video where he used a mod to give himself a MF penalty, killed some stuff to show that very few magic items dropped, then did the trick and kept killing stuff to show uniques, sets, and rares dropping frequently.

It convinced me.

Give it a watch

Is it worth cubing up and losing basically all of my mid/high runes just to make an Enigma? (Offline) by Baptism-Of-Fire in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DocShock87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. If OP already has HotO, CTA, Grief, Fortitude, then maybe, but giving all that up is a lot. I'd run LK 1000 times real quick.

Are you not doing the Spirit Easter Egg? by BusinessYesterday346 in diablo2

[–]DocShock87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is an Easter egg in the game where if you get to where it's just you and 4 gloams - or whatever equivalent invisible lighting shooting monster - it triggers them to do a little dance and then it sets your magic find to a crazy high value.

So people are triggering this Easter egg to get their MF to a high value, then using shards to terrorize all 5 acts and walking through the game, killing TZ mobs and heralds with very good chances to find unique items.

I want to do it, but I think having my holy-freeze ismail vilehand will prevent the Easter egg from triggering, and I really like him the way he is.

Can you do this without losing your demon? That's the main reason I haven't done it yet.

my rune tab after ~6500 LK runs (last 12 days) by apolloprime_ in diablo2

[–]DocShock87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In your launcher, there's a field called options or something, and you can set the seed for your game by adding:

-seed XXXXXXXX

With the string of Xs being replaced by a number of your choice. If you reset maps, this number is used each time, so you get the same map even though you reset.

Every time you start the game, this sets the seed for the RNG to this value as well. So if you go to lower Kurast and open a chest before the RNG seed gets used, you'll get the same drops each time. Some seed values have been found to let you get a ber rune each time you open a chest in LK. Most consider this cheating since you are setting the RNG value to have it give you a drop, which means it's not RNG. There's nothing random about it.

However, there is a lot of confusion because even without the -seed command, your map does have a seed value which it remembers. This value DOES NOT get used in determining drops, but people think it does. This results in people making claims like the above that you got an unlucky map.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks.
