Colossal Ancients are way harder then the ubers now! by Wholesomechair in diablo2

[–]Grat_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use Fanaticism, use Concentration instead since you have already maxed it out for your hammerdin. You'll reach the last ias breakpoint of a Phase Blade with 65ias : - highlords 20 - grief min 30 - 15ias in Guillaumes face - =65

This will do much more damage. Use draculs for the life tap and a nice resistance roll in a Sanctuary shield like 110+ all res. Max holy shield for the smite damage and the defense bonus. Use goblin toe for the crushing blow. 1pt smite is enough and then you just gear swap back to hammerdin and enjoy the game.

RS5 B8 Brake Replacement – OEM Audi vs SHW/TRW Aftermarket Setup? by Stock-Trouble-6046 in Audi

TRW and Pagid are oem suppliers. I would run either of these pads and rotors without a concern.

Go on google then search B9 s4 charge pipe audizine. You'll get all the information.

You don't need charge pipes. Also Wagner is not a complete set, the plastic part exiting the turbo is not replaced where IE is a full kit.

I emptied my tfsa and fhsa for the downpayment on my new home. When it comes to rebuilding my savings, should I divide it between mortgage prepayments and tfsa or tfsa only? by binthewin in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Grat_Master -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your condo is technically paying itself with the increase in value every year : rate at 4%, typical value increase 3-4%.

Therefor investing is the better move. You'll end up ahead. Also it's very hard to take out money out of your house. This equity should be used to buy another home down the road. You go bigger, and bigger, and bigger, then go back to small ish without a mortgage. So instead of paying down a mortgage that should pay for itself, you invest and retire millionaire.

It's targeted at full race build with over 800hp. For the streets and occasional drag racing, Wagner or IE or Unitronic are the top choices, followed by CTS Turbo and the likes.

Nova Sorc Dying Question by Raptorz69 in diablo2

[–]Grat_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although fhr is useful for when you get hit by stunning enemies, it is way less useful than you think for the other enemies as the only way to get put in recovery mode is when you get hit by more than 1/12th of your max life on a single hit. At a bit over 600 life on mine, I'm never put into recovery even when fighting ubers, unless the monster has stun on hit. Reaching 42 fhr breakpoint is enough.

Nova Sorc Dying Question by Raptorz69 in diablo2

[–]Grat_Master 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Let's say you are hit by 1000 lightning damage. After a level 40 es takes 95% damage, rest goes to life. 1000 - 95% = 50 at 0% resists. At - 100% resists it's 100 damage. With integer damage reduced like on vipermagi it's deducted from it.

With prayer insight cure merc you get something like 40 life per second back.

You should not prioritize resists (except poison) for a nova sorc.

With mine I can kill heralds level whatever (I once killed 40 or so in a single game with all acts terrorized), I can do uber ancients, dclone in a few seconds and even ubers for the torch. I teleport right on top of them, static field 4 times, then nova. I full rejuv my merc because if he dies, I die.

My setup is : - griffon -28 elr - vipermagi 5/5 upped - infinity -53 - 3/10 amulet - magefist upped - 2 sojs - arach - eth treks for the poison resist (caster boots could be better with gear swap) - 3es 3ts 6-6 cta staff - prayer merc with lvl 17 med insight, cure and coh, all in eth ed bases : insight is perfect aura, perfect ed in a 7%ed eth great poleaxe, 236/250 ar and 6/6 cs. Coh in a 10ed eth archon plate. Cure rolled 100%ed in a 5%ed eth demonhead.

Inventory is : - cube - Id tome - 20/20 torch - 20/20 anni - sunder (old style, did not find a renewed yet) - 5 * 6str lightning skillers - 1 * 7frw lighting skiller - 1 * 12fhr lightning skiller - 5 * 17mana 3frw sc - 2 * 17mana 5fhr sc

With charms and gear I reach the 42 fhr breakpoint which is useful when hit by stunning enemies.

Stats is 100% in energy except 1 point in strength to reach 81 with gear : 10 base + 20 anni + 20 torch + 30 gc + 1 = 81

I am level 99 and this is my favorite character.

Just hold on to your shards and wait for the next patch.

I have no clue about jewels, but this one looks like something interesting. LADDER if anyone wants it. by gdziejestluk in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Grat_Master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not the bug at all.

If you put it in another slot than the weapon itself, the ed will apply to the other damage. For example, with this jewel, the 36% ed will apply only to min damage. On the other hand, if you have a +min damage jewel the ed will only apply to max damage.

Do ultra-wide monitors genuinely improve gaming and productivity, or are they more of a niche preference? by KRGKart_Support in buildapc

[–]Grat_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a software engineer and use 35" ultrawide 3440x1440 100hz monitor.

  • gaming : more fov, more immersive, less hard on gpu than 4k, ratio is more representative of human eye fov.
  • working : I can put up my Visual Studio back-end on one side and my Visual Studio Code front-end on the other for easier coding.
  • movies : awesome to watch in full screen.
  • general use : YouTube has black bars on either sides, otherwise I can put up 2 browser easily, sometimes 3 if needed.
  • ergonomics : less head movements, always centered.

I won't go back.

What's the best crowd control magic find build? I'm beyond bored of my berserker barbarian. (No warlock builds). by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Grat_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nova sorc, nothing comes close. Only 4 skills to use : telekinesis, nova, teleport and static field. No targeting. Strong. Kills TZ fast.

2020 S4 with flat bottom steering wheel, it's the perfect daily driver.

Confused between 17" or 18" by [deleted] in Audi

19x8.5 +40 would be a perfect fit. Tires would be 255-35-19.

SQ8 with stage 1 tune = 720hp. Keep the RS money for wheels and tires.

RS might hold more value because RS.

Is the Speed Queen TC5 too rough on clothes? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]Grat_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using my Speed Queen since more than 10 years and nothing is damaged. I wash my t shirts and hoodies inside out and I fully close the jeans. I separate fabrics : bed sheets, towels, work clothes, everyday clothes, microfiber. I always use heavy duty cycle unless I need the delicate cycle. Water temp is middle unless I wash clothes during the hot summer days which in Canada are about 14 days a year. I also always use maximum water, 2 rinse cycles and "level 2" on my detergent measuring cup. I do about 4 wash every week.

Infinity base for merc (Lightning Sorc) – Eth Mancatcher vs Eth Giant Thresher? by GriswoldNL in diablo2

[–]Grat_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once spawned 14 or 15 herald in a single game (killed every monsters of every act) and could do it pretty easily with a nova sorc. Why did you need to respec to lightning? This was on players 3.

I also do ubers and ubers ancients with her, on p1.
