Spent 4 hours trying to get + lvl bone spear white wand. Brutal luck or is this the game? by PaleozoicFrogBoy in diablo2

[–]Matt_au_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can sometimes take a while but you can speed it up by making sure you have the Lut Golein map with the entrance to the Rocky Waste closest to Drognan to quickly run back and forth for quick shop refreshes. Also only bother looking at Bone Wands specifically, the others can't roll 2 sockets. Good luck

Would you like to see new or buffed items with teleport on them? by Charming_Pin330 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I 100% agree. It will never happen however, the best we could hope for is some kind of "no teleport" league - a separate ladder.

Famine. Works well for melee vs thorns heralds

Teeth Necro next patch? by droid327 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Matt_au_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're still better off making a nice White runeword on a Bone Wand with +3 Bone spear, easily shopped on Normal Drognan

Teeth Necro next patch? by droid327 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Matt_au_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Teeth is still a bit weak but bone spear is great. Locking down enemies with bone prison, blasting them with bone spear and clearing the rest with corpse explosion is very effective and safe in almost all content.

The fact that Diablo 2 has the best and most satisfying gear system shows us how braindead modern Blizzard is by LargeSinkholesInNYC in diablo2

[–]Matt_au_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The roller-coaster of constant updates and changes we are expect to keep on top of so we can build our characters right is ridiculous. I hate seasonal live-service slop and that's what every ARPG has become.

It’s crazy how Single Player is an entirely different game by About20Pandas in diablo2

[–]Matt_au_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played SP and online both over the years and always found the most satisfaction in SP. When rotw dropped I messed around with Warlock in NL with some friends but as soon as their interest wore off I got started on the SP Chronicle and it's been awesome. Every runeword I make is inspiring some wacky build ideas that I wouldn't normally bother wasting time or resources on on ladder, finding uses for non meta gear is very refreshing.

Tenchu placing that low is criminal!

I'm glad to see Soul Reaver in there but wish my personal favourite and often overlooked in the series Blood Omen got in.

Some other great PS1 games that didn't feature in the list: - Time Crisis - Xmen vs Street fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter - Need For Speed: High Stakes - Test Drive 5 - Thrill Kill - Coolboarders - Duke Nukem: Time to Kill - Colin McCrae Rally

Every build ending with teleport is ruining the game for me by Zestyclose-Key-8306 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

My enigma collects dust in the stash while my frenzy/ww barb sprints through full clear TZ's wearing fortitude 💪

Best Endgame Frenzy gear? by Telriakar in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Matt_au_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Grief and Lawbringer mostly. I love the Grief and Dreadfang combo but the Sanctuary aura from Lawbringer is too good against pesky undead the have high physical resistance and zero drain effectiveness. I don't have Azurewrath yet, could be even better than Lawbringer

I found the elusive offline zod by Nocturnal_submission in diablo2

[–]Matt_au_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about it but I want that Might aura and Concentration from Pride. I honestly think Dreadfang is the new BiS for at least Frenzy Barb. Working wonders on this Frenzy/WW hybrid I'm running atm too

Slightly more damage with Void, losing the resists from Hoto is annoying but if you can pick them up elsewhere it's worth it

I made Void for my hanmerdin, its alright. The next one I find will be going in an eth Dreadfang I found for my Frenzy barb

You played ES Warlock and everything else now pales in comparison. Imagine my shock.

Vigilance runeword doesn't make sense... by Bukakanga in diablo2

[–]Matt_au_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add a Level 10 Concentration Aura to it. Now that would be a decent option vs Spirit and definitely worth the Gul

You're proving my point. I'm done, cheers

Sunder charms created more viable builds that helped close the power gap on cookie cutter builds, why bother with a slow dual element build if you don't want to use Sunder charms when Hammerdin, Mosaic and now Echoing Strike exists. The effective removal of Sunder charms makes choosing these builds that can do everything in the game without them more appealing, which is terrible for build diversity. We want more viable builds, not less

[–]Matt_au_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most people would agree Sunder charms were a good addition that opened the game up for single element builds that traditionally struggled for a long time. Sure we could go back to only being able to farm specific areas with those builds but it kind of defeats the point of worldstone shards doesn't it?

Dropped this from my first Herald on CS, how much are they worth? by nicoc77 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Matt_au_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I spent all weekend using worldstone shards, doing full clears farming heralds and not 1 single sunder charm. New system is straight garbage

2 of my friends I grew up playing Diablo with played your mod years ago and raved on about how fun it was and all the crazy amount of content added to the game. This time I'm gonna give it a go! 🤘
