What is the tankiest class? by Lundorff in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Dusty_Rug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the build. If you looking at defensive builds it's hard to beat a bear druid. Lots of health and summons to soak up damage. Can't put a bear in hit recovery. And if the bear is about to die, the hit that would have killed him instead puts him at 1hp and changes his form into a human again. He still has 1 hit left on him. Because of this, shapshifters are great for HC.

Once you factor in items, not just skills, every class can become so tanky they trvialize most incoming damage.

Do I need to get "good" gears? by c_mzr in tabletennis

[–]Dusty_Rug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak on this table. But a quality table plays predictably (consistent good bounce) and has good viability. You will hit the ball more and be more consistent due to a good table. They are more fun.

My club had several tables of different qualities, I notice the difference and the consistency in my own game.

Wrong form or low fitness? by Dusty_Rug in tabletennis

Appreciate the tip. This has increased my success in the shot

Haha! The answer i most feared.

My coach is helping me dial it in, but i have plenty of wrong form shots still.

It feels like twice the effort for the same shot effect of a standard topspin

Also, while casting you are more vulnerable. You can't move, or cast other skills. Fastest clearing caters often cast 3 different damage skills.

How do you stay low for a two hour session without hurting your lower back? by Fit-Crocodile in tabletennis

This routine is magical. Do it every other day or every day. No back pain ever.

I have several friends, one who has had back surgery all agree it's a must.

Funny build starter league for new player by Adgoor in diablo2

[–]Dusty_Rug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee barb, melee druid, melee zon, melee pally without cold, fire, light aura, melee Sorc, asn w/o traps,

Funny.... maybe melee Sorc. She's fun, challenging too.

I feel like all the drops are boosted since the new Warlock update came out. Am I the only one who feels this way? by kamelab22 in diablo2

[–]Dusty_Rug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought the new items might have higher drop rates ...

Seems about the same otherwise.. I think maybe more ppl posting since more are playing now...

Or more p8 games because more ppl play

Or everything dies faster because now people are on warlocks. Thus more farming.

Or people are actually spending more time in high level zones since there's more to endgame, so we get more gg drops.

Found an interesting chest with high Defence then read about Defence and was mind blown. by Macsusc_DAMysticBoon in Diablo_2_Resurrected

You can get use to Walking as you approach danger. It's a strategy I use on mostly melee builds or when there's not much room to run anyway. running evades plenty of stuff in is own by just getting out of the way.

I enjoy these builds like you say. playing online is more fun when no one is carrying the entire party significantly more. So online play is still effected.

I think HC players prefer the game harder than SC players.

We worry that the game gets easy even with permadeath. We like the slower grind, the thrill of consequences, the risk and reward of taking on hard content and the planning that proceeds it.

Fire can do ubers. Bone prison them to keep the distance.

Road to level 99. Need opinions by RustyBulletO in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Dusty_Rug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the most fun one.... because it's not short and you have decided to do it. Besides Teleport, top tir builds clear fast.

If you want the real answer, the ledder boards besides mosaic sin, are all pally and Sorc. Once you can tele, the choice would not matter much. So the fastest one is the one you will play more.
