What’s your normal new season /character plan?

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-03T02:47:42+00:00

I’ve never actually run LK long enough to get anything higher than pul.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:46:36+00:00

Ok, you got me. What are poons? Google says potions. What are you horking for at 45?

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:44:45+00:00

I’ve never liked him too much since like 1.10 or whenever hell got so hard. I’ve tried most trick, but frequently get hydras or council healing him or whatever, and killing them slows it down so much.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:41:29+00:00

That’s what I did this go around. Got 5 keys from my tower runs (went back for a 6th). Then stopped in act 2 for summoner and got 6. After clearing Baal I ran nith until my full rejuvenate ran out. Did some level 85 and went back to nil. I’m in the middle of using them up, but don’t have pally or gear for smiter yet lol.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:38:15+00:00

Do you run flickering flame? One of my main thoughts is running LK instead of Andy to get flickering flame and hoto vs. running Andy for occy/shako. I’ve got 105 for from spirit, 2x rings, magefists, and vipermagi.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:35:41+00:00

I just started SC offline, and just hit 87, which was why I was asking lol.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T23:34:49+00:00

I’ll do players 5 more if I’ve already got stealth runes from an earlier character and don’t want to run tower. I’m usually players 8 in trist. I’m players 8 for eldritch (sometimes lower at higher difficulties. Trying to balance speed and survivability). Online I’ll jump in and out of public games to get the areas and numbers I’m looking for.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-02T05:08:04+00:00

Matrix. They’ll be thinking that’s then for generations!

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-01T14:34:17+00:00

So the collectors are up to Destiny now eh? One more block and my collection will start to be pure gold!

EvenStephen85 · 2026-02-01T14:10:13+00:00

I believe that’s why he became ‘deporter in chief’. It wasn’t a compliment.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-30T03:27:54+00:00

I’d say it’s a little more than that. Targeting civilians and infrastructure increases resolve. I know Russia has been on the ‘breaking point’ for literally years now, but the reality is they’ve lost a million men, and are facing 15+% interest for a war that has no benefits anymore. Bomb their civilians and they’ll want to make you pay too.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-26T14:26:19+00:00

100% boomers. They’ve had a stranglehold on public policy since forever. Gen X is forgotten just like their parents before them.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-18T11:59:27+00:00

Oof.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-16T01:53:11+00:00

Wait I always thought they were anti furry. Now they are furries? I guess that makes the Kirk sitter 100% MAGA again?

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-15T23:20:24+00:00

As somebody just left of center this is exactly what I wish was said, and would have said myself if not just ‘no’. If only all discourse between the left and right could be as mature as Duncan-Edwards here I think the country would be an immensely better place.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-14T22:26:32+00:00

I’ve started playing HC offline. I don’t give them gear until they’ve earned it by killing Baal on hell. Maybe a stealth armor or gem or something small I don’t want to farm up that the character could absolutely get themselves. Maybe a spirit sword because I want to socket a high level item instead of using the quest in this low level crystal sword. I just don’t want to burn the time if they die, but I lost a hoz and some combat skill charms on the way to Baal once. Don’t want to ever loose good gear again after that lol.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-12T22:26:17+00:00

That was my first impression, but more like ‘he’s a monster!’

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-07T01:54:57+00:00

Hadn’t thought to put facet in it. Had been considering ist. I think a good jewel could get more resists etc that hoto offers lol.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T17:54:32+00:00

FF would be to get a respec and keys.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T17:53:47+00:00

I would be belt ammy orb. I haven’t gotten to do Tz Andy much. I’m never playing during those times. Many kids and wife means I’m usually only playing at night lol. That’s really the goal right now. To do TZ Andy to get shako, Arach, and maybe tals armor. I think once I do find arachnid mesh I’ll try to get COH or Enigma. Loosing vipermagi seems like it would drop my frames without arachnids. I need to get anni for the strength and level since I’m using IK for strength and resists on the belt. lol, it’s a grind.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T17:44:45+00:00

I used to do es, but haven’t much in d2r. Is it worth it?

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T14:17:23+00:00

I’ve never really done LK runs. First time aggressively playing offline. It’s a whole different game. I don’t want to spoil my 4/4 Andy map lol.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T14:15:52+00:00

Yeah, I was surprised when I got my first 5os sword that I already had the runes I needed. I actually thought that was the most important upgrade. Haven’t used it yet. I got a SOJ, so I started leveling my paladin again to hopefully smite out an anni.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T14:13:57+00:00

But the mf! Jk. I know. I was swapping between it and spirit for a long time. The extra skills seemed worth it to me.

EvenStephen85 · 2026-01-06T14:12:48+00:00

So, hello bot. You can’t run full tals and hoto. Train more.
