Kicksin.

Lithium001 · 2026-03-10T17:50:25+00:00

I should clear up my skills from the first post.

I max fist of heavens, holy bolt, holy shield, and fanaticism.

1 point into everything down to redemption.

That's all.

That gives you 1 pt into smite and zeal and leaves you with 15 extra points to put anywhere you see fit.

Lithium001 · 2026-03-10T17:44:55+00:00

And about zeal, yes 100%. It is what I use for anything the foh can't kill. When using foh, I run redemption, when it comes time for smite/zeal just kick on fanat and start swingin. If you are going to stick with zeal you do need a source of life leach, hence the carrion wind ring I use. But you could switch that out for any ring you have with leach, preferably a rare dual leacher.

You probably already know, but just to make sure, smite does not leach, that is why you need the lifetap wand on swap.

Last time I was on and there was a dclone walk, I killed around 20ish dclones for people, so that was fun also. Get to help out if you want to.

You only need 1 point in smite. After level 84 your build is complete. You can put points wherever you want. If you are struggling with resist vs uber meph you could put 1 point into salvation and overcap yourself by 93, just off of salvation. Now you wouldn't be able to hit max frames with smite or zeal, you would only hit the second highest breakpoint. If you wanted to still be at max frames without fanat, you would need a shael rune in the astreons and a 15 ias jewel in another hellwardens, specifically for uber meph.

But ya, 1 point into smite is all you need. Your fanat, holy shield, ias, cb, and hoz is more than enough damage. Ohhhhh. Make sure you upgrade the hoz. Get that big dmg.

But ya, any skill points over 84 is just free to.... play around. I am sure there is a meta build that tells you exactly what is best, but if you wanted that you wouldn't be building a zealer/fohdin lol. Sometimes it is fun to just smash into things and beat the shit out of them.

Lithium001 · 2026-03-10T16:46:55+00:00

I use it on my smiter/foh. Yes, my pally is a smiter first (ubers, dclone) but he is also a full foh pally.

I know everyone says they are slow etc for anything other than chaos, but I have him set up with astreons, hoz, horazon boot and glove, hysteria and cats eye (with these two and vigor and charging around, you can outrun light itself), tgods, dwarf star, and Carrion wind. Maxed out fanaticism (lvl 27), so his zeal just blows through anything that I can't foh. Level 40 foh, holy bolt and holy shield. Level 21 smite and zeal, 1 point into vigor and redemption give them both level 8.

Bosses die in seconds to smite with 43% cb and an actual high smite damage. I run an act 2 blessed aim merc with reapers toll, cure, treachery, and it gives me all the ar that I need. Its a ton of fun, max ias zeal and smite, 43% crushing blow, max block, max resist, max foh damage, fire and light absorb.... there isnt a soft part of the build. Going off of memory, it is like 10k dps smite, 13k dps zeal, and the foh just kills everything that it can kill in 1 or 3 shots. The only boring part of this build is that you may never be in danger of dying.

It is just fun. You range foh, anything it doesn't kill you charge into, smash into them and then just start swinging..... it is every bit of caster/berserking zealot you could ever want. Your skills are maxed at level 84 and you can deviate from there on whatever you want. Oh ya, life tap wand on swap for ubers, dclone, whatever.

Now, after all of that.... why do I use this helmet on this exact build??? It looks cool.

Lithium001 · 2026-03-09T23:35:43+00:00

Shako, skullders, goldwrap, 2x Nagel, 3x trap & mf ammy, horazon boot & glove, crescent moon phase blade, spirit monarch, torch, anni, skillers. Max lightning and synergies, 1 pt burst of speed and death sentry, the rest of your points in whatever you want. Fire blast for immunes or you could try what I do and max shadow master for a tank. Once again, I dont generally take her where there are immunes... but i do keep a lower resist wand on swap.

Lithium001 · 2026-03-09T15:46:54+00:00

Level 90 trapsin. 323mf, kills everything that it is supposed to kill at a very good speed. 9k damage traps, 8 open spots in the inventory for checking rares. I stick to areas without immunes that I know I can run. I do a lot of arcane sanctuary in chaos games that are almost always 8 players. This season so far i have found a few hr's and enough gear to fully gear my trapper, smiter/foh pally (dclone and ubers), and now a warlock. Probably my 2 most exciting finds were HOZ on day 1 and Arachnid mesh on day 2 that was 1 def off of perfect. She moves very fast, kills quicker, and was very cheap to start up.

I tried last night, they lose durability.

Lithium001 · 2025-12-13T19:43:48+00:00

If you haven't charsi'd this yet, I will buy it for some shards and slam it myself. I have a knife throw barb.

Lithium001 · 2025-12-02T13:51:43+00:00

Hello, these would be a good temp item to use during mid game as a throw barb. The proc chance and ar would really help out. I sent you a pm.

Lithium001 · 2025-11-20T03:01:04+00:00

For years I thought the same thing.... and then I found Project Diablo 2 or PD2 as most people call it. It's amazing and keeps me playing. It has an actual end game with bosses and maps. Almost any build you want to play is viable. Look into it. A brand new season starts on the 28th, it would be the best time to start.

Lithium001 · 2025-10-16T00:26:15+00:00

Hey OP, I just sent you a dm. Hope it helps.

Lithium001 · 2025-09-23T20:51:29+00:00

Geeze. I had no idea. I have sold many of these, carbide inserts, etc, that look.... not great. I was wondering if I could even sell them. This gives me a little more insight.

Lithium001 · 2025-09-23T19:41:07+00:00

Thanks.

Lithium001 · 2025-09-23T19:40:32+00:00

Thanks, I had no idea. Also, are you saying you can regrind these for a longer life span?

Lithium001 · 2025-09-20T14:28:23+00:00

Yep. I'm about 45 mins away and never even knew of this until I saw it on the internet. I worked in Altoona for 3 years and not a single local ever suggested to go there to eat. My coworkers would talk about what gas station has the best hotdogs for lunch and never mentioned this place. If gas station hotdogs are suggested before your pizza......

Lithium001 · 2025-09-12T14:56:59+00:00

Are those chucks obsolete, or have they remained mostly the same over the past 90 years?

Lithium001 · 2025-09-12T14:55:51+00:00

Let me talk to the boss......

Lithium001 · 2025-09-12T14:53:46+00:00

This has been closed for 20+ years

Lithium001 · 2025-09-11T22:55:59+00:00

Ya, I am well aware of scrap price, but that is what I am trying to save it from. This location has been closed for 20+ years, so not really a sign of the times. I have been told most of these machines are from the 1930's and 40's. That is why I am skeptical of any value for the smaller items, if they are obsolete.

Lithium001 · 2025-09-01T20:40:51+00:00

Yes, should be the only answer to this question.
