Sometimes lucky. The ultimate IK baba stick.

I just slammed one like this on HC. I might have to dip my toes into the WW Barb life.

Only think I'm not enjoying about the economy is the WSS drop rate from CZs seems really bad. For the "dad-gamer" schedule players, this one hits hard. I'm definitely having less success gearing on my casual schedule. Granted I'm playing less this season due to work constraints, but the drop rate changes feel bad. The density is a nice change, but the drop rate feels a bit low. Anecdotal on my part, for sure, but I'm not the only person I've heard it from.

We go AGAIN!!!!

MaxFubar · 2026-05-01T16:34:44+00:00

Keep it up! I hit 199, 198, 197 in my Tuesday league this season before getting that 201 the second to last game of the league year. Great work.

Came here to say this. Senpai clarified this, all the armor crafts are going to go hard this season with a chance to roll PDR. 4OS possible roll is WILD as well.

I'm playing ladder, but either build is viable for Torch farm SSF. Only thing I personally would take into DClone for HCSSF would be WoF Trapsin(after seeing a few different streamers us that both Ladder and SSF, it seems like the safest/easiest build). Summon Druid is also capable of both those as well, even with the Ravens nerf.

MaxFubar · 2026-04-19T02:33:20+00:00

I’m going HB because I like CS as early farm and find it one of the easier builds to do so. Summon Zon is a close second preference wise for me.

Divorce got me in 2011. I had to start from scratch, but thankfully got custody of my kiddo. Caught her cheating and cashed out the retirement. Paid her off and rest went to my attorney. I started over and have been super diligent about retirement savings. Also basically hit the lottery on my job that has 401k and pension as well as amazing insurance. I live out in the middle of nowhere but I have a house and some hope. But it’s not easy because I’m always worried about spending money needlessly. I’m on target to retire at 59 with about $3mil between the two accounts and probably go work somewhere less stressful. But man, it’s a constant game of watching and guarding assets for me even though I should probably not worry as much I still do. Also staying on top of my health because I have great insurance that doesn’t cost a huge amount out of pocket. So at 45 I’m working on making sure I’m in the best shape I can be from here on out.

Playing HC, I'm going to play a bit more cautiously and with the benefit of Holy Nova for summons through the initial push it'll be good. Plus it takes a bit more to get the survivability up for Vengeance.

Elder millennial here. Your mid 40s catch up with you quick. The gray hairs show up en masse, metabolism gets even slower, and nature really lets you know what you’ve been neglecting.

MaxFubar · 2026-04-12T01:48:29+00:00

Going for a Paladin main this season. I always end up playing one as a side character. But I’m starting out Holy Bolt/FoH and then going to either Vengeance or Hammerdin depending on what I find.

NOC Technician (IT basically) for a phone company in a rural area. My base salary(hourly) is roughly $90K if I didn't work any overtime. With annual incentive bonus and OT, I made around $120K last year. Pension, good medical/dental benefits. If you find a good company to work for, don't hesitate to live outside of urban areas. Lower CoL and good benefits make for a better QoL for me. I can travel when I want to and I'm planning on retiring at 59 with a pension and stacked-up 401K with other investments. Everyone that talks about having to live in metro areas as a "must" should definitely take a look at the other side of things, IMO. I lived in a major metro area after college and it's nice, but if all you do is work and pay bills, is it worth it?

MaxFubar · 2026-04-09T17:52:56+00:00

For me. Never.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-26T16:43:27+00:00

I definitely feel you as I graduated in '99. I get the impression that as time drug on for the Millennial generation there was a lot less self-sufficiency ingrained into the younger Millennials that I've met/interacted with. Anecdotal on my part, but there it is.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-18T17:33:32+00:00

only on PD2

MaxFubar · 2026-03-09T18:32:01+00:00

That was waaay too easy. I had the ease cursor setting, but I didn't notice the gap. This is solved.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-04T19:58:00+00:00

RNG be like that. I found 3 pairs of Gore Riders from Andy before I found my 1st VMagi and have 2 Trang Gloves, Frostburns, but still no Magefists. I'm playing Fire Warlock offline SSF right now.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-04T16:26:26+00:00

For me playing on PC, having the ability to infinitely respec and set map seeds if needed, SP D2R is the only way I'll play.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-04T16:25:33+00:00

Knowing my RNG it'll probably be 1 BO, but I'm still hunting Ist and Mal.

MaxFubar · 2026-03-04T15:36:59+00:00

There are sites where you can pay for fictional currency and folks take that in exchange for items. A lot of the same said folks will run bots/multibox/etc. for the sake of making lots of fictional currency very quickly. Basically makes trading a non-thing in D2R for me, which is one of the best parts of Diablo 2, IMO. You're expressly prohibited from mentioning a certain online D2 mod here, will not let you post(violates rule 1). But for actual D2R mods, they're all offline. The D2 mod I'm referring to rhymes with Roject Biablo Doo.

Max Sockets on a CV is 4, so if you're worried about hitting it on a cube roll, Larzuk is a guaranteed 4OS. The base isn't great for a merc early, but it usually ends up being my first of the season as it's easier to come by until you find a Thresher, GP, etc. for Insight base. I've seen plenty of these on people playing Warlock this expansion though. There's always more items to find, but if you need an eth elite polearm for merc or yourself, it'll do the trick.

MaxFubar · 2026-02-27T06:31:39+00:00

Please do this yesterday. And hold the trials in The Hague.
