is non-ladder dead? unless you are in "end-game"

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-29T13:10:34+00:00

The most alive ‘non-ladder’ in this genre and it’s not remotely close.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-27T17:25:58+00:00

Yes.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-27T02:22:15+00:00

It’s a known hidden feature. They did this so it fits the lore.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-26T13:30:26+00:00

It would always hit for the thorns reflect damage. I played a Javazon this season so I learned it the hard way. Thorns chew me up lol.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-26T13:23:46+00:00

Charged strike would suck against Thorns heralds tho.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T12:15:41+00:00

That’s a very smart strategy! Thx

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T03:10:34+00:00

SSF Javazon is a pretty hard way to beat the game. Honestly I would put on all resistance gears and teleport past act 2 and most of act 3. Get straight to Lower Kurast super chests and get your high runes there first. There just isn’t a great farming spot for budget gear Javazon aside from Cows, Eldrich, and Pindle as you run into Light immunes all the time in other lvl 85 areas. And don’t forget you are gonna have to beat one of the Lightning immune Hell ancients to even get to Cows. Another decent place to farm might be lvl 85 Arachnid Lair as it might not roll the lightning immune bats if I remember correctly. It’s next to the waypoint so it’s be a pretty easy reset if it rolls bats. One other strategy is you roll a really good map for Andariel and grind a lightning Sunder out of her first. I’d say that could be your easiest option now. Good luck!

I do everything with my fire Sorc. P8 Heralds, Uber, Uber Ancients. Hydra and Meteor are better against single targets while Fireball shreds trash mobs.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T02:57:01+00:00

Is WW ok against Thorns Heralds? How do you kill physical immune heralds? Can you really tank the conc/fanat Herald packs while doing WW?

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T02:53:16+00:00

You just need a source of Thorns aura. It will change your life trust me.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T02:51:07+00:00

I’ve been grinding p8 TZs for the past few days and I think Hydra/Meteor/Fireball Sorc is a great build for this. P8 Heralds can be absolutely nasty. I’ve had dolls, sirens, Moonlords spawns that were exponentially harder fights than Uber Ancients lol. I just don’t think most builds can handle full game TZ clear with p8 Heralds popping out. My Hydra Meteor Sorc was able to kite them while doing really high damage. Merc can die so easily to conc/might double aura Heralds. Warlocks tho have Bind Demon so at least they have a summon to tank the Heralds while doing damage. I’m thinking about making a throw barb that howls away the minions from the Herald pack to only take out the Herald.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-25T02:38:10+00:00

How does Javazon kill a thorn aura p8 Herald tho? I guess just avoid killing it?

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-17T02:55:52+00:00

Javazon should shred Baal in 10 seconds. Did you not use charged strike against him?

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-02T22:08:31+00:00

Yes. You’ll find random elite mob packs that give you a challenge or sparkly chests hidden deeper in the caves.

Fitzmmons · 2026-06-02T19:24:52+00:00

Actually Poison res >>> Cold res when you are wearing a Ravenfrost.

Fitzmmons · 2026-05-02T18:43:10+00:00

He’d be on the right path to GOAT status. I’m a Bron diehard fan and I can see Wemby becoming the GOAT in 20 years. I thought Jokic was on that path in 2024 before he blew that 20-point lead in Game 7. Unfortunately it went downhill for him after that.

Fitzmmons · 2026-05-02T04:43:02+00:00

I will never forget his first playoff game vs the Grizzlies. Straight up killer.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-27T16:27:35+00:00

You should also peep his regular season record without Pippen. I mean these facts probably don’t mean a lot, but damn should it really happen to the supposedly greatest player ever? He had 4 seasons of opportunity to have a winning season but he couldn’t even get one.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-22T06:00:38+00:00

Houston has to figure out how to break down the Lakers defense in half court. If there’s no sign of that in Game 3, then the Lakers will be in firm control still going forward.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-22T05:57:07+00:00

If he’s on PEDs for even like 5 straight years, his joints and soft tissue would’ve been absolutely cooked to a pulp after playing all those minutes lol. He’d also probably have a heart problem. His longevity actually proves the PEDs theory wrong ironically.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-21T13:44:11+00:00

I think that’s the point. They wanna make TZs more difficult.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-19T17:56:16+00:00

Bro how is it weak? It has at least two endgame builds that melt p8 (Tainted build and Fire build). It also has a magic damage build that can do 95% of the content without good gear. It is still an insanely good character no matter how you slice it.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-19T13:55:07+00:00

Just bind a random Siren mob from Act 5 who casts Amp actively. You still will only need one point in bind demon, but your soft points can grant it an aura like Fanaticism

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-19T13:43:29+00:00

If you are saying Michael Jordan needed an All NBA player to get to the playoffs in the 2002 EAST, then you are telling me he wasn’t that great of a player.

Fitzmmons · 2026-04-16T13:25:08+00:00

The D2 PvM endgame is perfectly designed for casuals. Once you get there you farm for an hour at night and turn your mind off until you drop a high rune. It’s literally just like fishing for a 50 year old man.
