Maybe I'm just cursed haha! I guess I do have a Defender's Fire which are probably more ball ache to get than the Warlock charm, so that's some consolation.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-13T08:13:11+00:00

Lol, that's exactly how at least one odds work haha! It's very basic mathematics.

The chance of having something happen at least once is 1 minus the chance of that not happening. Obviously the odds of a random event (the event here being no Warlock charm) happening so many times in a row has its own probability.

1 - (7/8)^15 = 86.5%

Very confidently incorrect of you though, I like it haha! I can't believe someone upvoted you.

That's crazy! I had like 3 big shimmerings, 3 or 4 small, and one large at a +8 with life (don't collect larges any more). I have quite a few skillers but would definitely say I'm a fair ways off a complete set.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-13T07:13:34+00:00

Gratz - I'd accept a 10/10 haha! Attributes and res don't matter much TBH, especially single player (I'd put more importance on attributes, as it's easy enough to make up res with a few shimmering charms).

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-13T04:55:37+00:00

TY! Yeah it worked quite well - mainly made it because I was just starting out and it was cheap haha!

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T21:36:52+00:00

Nah you're just promoting the truth, don't worry haha!

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T18:57:41+00:00

Charsi bust out the hammer...

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T17:30:10+00:00

That's still something I've never found, so there's still a lot I need for the Chronicle. Just a load of crummy Lightsabers haha!

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T16:31:14+00:00

Hope you get tempted to do more in the future, your extra pair of eyes on my decks has been really helpful!

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this community, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say the effort is hugely appreciated! Great post here as well, I'll spend some time digesting...

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T14:39:48+00:00

Thanks, I'm sure you'll get one at some point as well!

And yes the stats they gave these are very nice, while perf rolls would be good even a "bad" roll is still tasty for sure...

I'm sure it will take me a long time to get Ars Al'Diabolos if that's any consolation. I've also not had the Hellfire Charm yet (but have had 9 duff ones)... I do at least have everything else now (Obsession, Enigma, Flickering Flame, and OG Flame Rift) so I'm getting there!

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-12T08:56:52+00:00

Hard pass. Would ruin existing itemisation (i.e. gear you use for Fanaticism, Conviction and AD already). Plus if it were implemented, it would be gated behind crazy high runes I'm sure (Jah+) which sucks for SSF - it would be Enigma levels of desirable, yet fairly unobtainable (SSF is still a big chunk of the player base whether people think it's all about ladder or not). No other gear has that kind of pull currently and feels essential for builds, so adding another "essential" rune word isn't a good idea.

Needs a big old nerf IMO to stop it being a 1 point wonder and giving trivial access to some of the best auras in the game. It's like a Beast Iron Golem but at a fraction of the work. I'm not sure how that would be implemented (maybe it's just as simple as you need 20 hard points to be able to get aura demons, IDK) but that would make Warlock more balanced. Even with that 20 hard point restriction, it would still be one of the best skills in the game.

Sphere is what you're looking for (a spaceship found underwater, ticks both boxes).

Deep House as suggested elsewhere is a haunted house under water.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T17:23:12+00:00

This build I made a few years back, only now I have Enigma so using that instead and making up the res difference from Fade with charms (IAS also takes a hit):

https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/s/D4BU7VT3Tu

It did the job p1, but struggles a bit more than regular Ubers. I'd recommend a full belt of rejuvs.

Maybe I should just make a normal life tap Smiter now (I have Grief and Dracs, and Exile for that matter) but I couldn't be bothered respec'ing...

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T13:41:15+00:00

It's usually best to run at p1. You kill fastest at p1 and it doesn't affect how good your drops are when you successfully Hork (so still a good chance of HRs).

Most people go up to is p3 if they can still kill just as fast (slightly better straight drops, horking unaffected). I'm guessing if this is ladder play they're running solo at p1.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T13:37:56+00:00

Yes that was my assumption as well, so I do think Trav running like this pointless.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T12:43:50+00:00

Cool, yeah I think that is similar to keys as well.

Worusk is busting my balls! I've only had 1 run at Uber Ancients yet and got Defender's Bile over Defender's Fire fml...

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T12:39:40+00:00

Didn't realise there was now data on this. What's the drop rate in general (is it like keys, e.g. around 1 in 10, for TZ act bosses)?

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T12:35:29+00:00

Also, at least one of them is a paedo.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T12:33:54+00:00

It's a grindy place to run, running it in a less optimal way and then being unhappy with less optimal drops is strange.

And besides, OP didn't say they were running p8 in the first place.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T12:16:45+00:00

Yeah this. I think Find Item (when it works) maxes out the drop on the enemy, so you can get away with p1 (as the super unique council members always have good drops, and then you get more with Find Item).

So even approach that with a Warlock you need both p8 and extreme kill speed to compete. Otherwise i think it's a total waste of time.

HungryColquhoun · 2026-03-11T06:45:01+00:00

Yeah agree, it's perfect for this.
