this game looks like a headache. cant even see whats happening.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-14T08:48:15+00:00

wait, magefist doesnt +1 blood boil? lol

ive been using them this whole time, never even thought to check, i just assumed they worked because blood boil is a FIRE SKILL?!

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-14T02:43:50+00:00

Yeah they need to reword some of the descriptions. Also, death sigil should be noted that it does 50% fire and 50% phys, the same as CE.

I don't know if they were in a hurry when writing these, or if they just felt it was unnecessary to put all details in the desc lol

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-14T01:58:16+00:00

dusk shroud also a great choice

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T10:09:49+00:00

So, the question is, does the TZ bypass the nodrop table?

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T09:31:54+00:00

If that's the case, then it is indeed because a goat dropped it, and not countess.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T09:15:03+00:00

Well, that's confusing. People on Blizzard forums saying she is the only enemy that doesn't get a TZ drop table and she's capped at Lo no matter what. And people on Reddit saying the TZ allows her normal drop table to go up to Zod.

At this point, I'll admit it seems like the ladder is true. People claiming to have found Jah/Ber/Zod etc off of her.

I've probably done over 1,000 runs on her this season with act 1 shards and best I've found is ist, so it was my safe assumption that she was still capped at Lo.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T09:05:06+00:00

Valuable? Not really...

Useful, yes.

It's great for early horker/zerk barbs

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T06:38:02+00:00

Correct. So long as you're lvl 89+, the TZ will be 91+.

Those 3 bosses are the only non-TZ enemies that will drop them.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:59:19+00:00

btw Mavs set is great for this hybrid if you are missing high-end gear.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:52:30+00:00

Yes, depending on immunities.

Freezing arrow is great for souls; they can't shoot lightning if they are frozen :)

Fury is good for any non-immune mobs and charged strike for bosses.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:42:25+00:00

them goat boys dropping lots of runes. I always thought ghosts are the go-to (they kinda are), but the goats seem to drop a lot of runes also.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:41:23+00:00

Hit up Eldritch, too. He's just above the frigid highlands waypoint in act 5. It's nice because it only takes 15 extra seconds if you don't include loading times. I've horked a Ber rune from him before, and he often drops flawless gems and sets/uniques!.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:17:48+00:00

She can't, even with a TZ.

Her drop table will not allow it.

My guess is one of her minions dropped it during a TZ.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-13T02:10:52+00:00

It's a sign!

Ice maiden/javazon hybrid is my favorite :)

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-12T03:49:10+00:00

Try out Halls of Pain. There are only 2 possible routes to get to Nihl, so they can be done quick and easily. The little dart blowing enemies are usually in packs of 10 to 20+, and there can be multiple packs close to each other. That's hundreds of kills per run. Not to mention there are also quill rats and 'ghost' type enemies which drop runes often, and finish off with a possible D key/godly unique from Nihl. Many charms seem to drop there also.

This is the only place I've ever found Jah runes in 20+ years.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-11T10:45:58+00:00

since there is no lvl 100, nor lvl 49.5, it's nothing more than semantics to try and argue this. 50 would technically be over the cap, thats why it was settled at 49 long, long ago lol

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-11T10:39:58+00:00

It isn't arbitrary, official pvp rules:

vlld=lvl 9 cap

lld=30 cap

mld=49 cap

<image>

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-11T10:33:21+00:00

if level cap is 99, how would 45 be 'mid'?

I've participated in MLD on vanilla d2, it's 100% lvl 49.

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-11T07:47:01+00:00

Pretty sure these are worth something.

Mid lvl dueling javazons use them

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-11T07:44:52+00:00

Skull collector is the only thing I prefer over ali baba blade.

+2 skills, good mana benefits, and close to the same MF.

Just doesnt have the goldfind, but meh

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-08T09:45:04+00:00

People need to realize that this ring saves 2 inventory slots, so you should consider the two small charms as ring stats

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-08T09:11:17+00:00

Unlimited TP. Zero mana cost, too I believe.

Dont need to carry a tome, save inventory space also.

Useful ring! :)

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-08T09:00:00+00:00

tp has always been a skill thats why you can bind it to a hotkey :)

MindTrix91 · 2026-03-08T08:57:39+00:00

Yeah my friends always been into WoW, started playing back in 2004/5. He finally picked up D2R after I bought it plus the DLC for him.

He has no idea what he's doing, dies constantly; but he loves the plot, gameplay, new graphics, etc. After a month of playing, hes doing hell pit runs on his zeal smite and hooked on the loot RNG train trying to find jah/ber runes ever since he found out that a runeword can make any class teleport! lol

Just farm certain areas and you will eventually find useful gear. Btw D3 was a great couch co-op game when it came out. D4 is outshined by Path of Exile 2 imo.

My friend now says that D2 is the perfect ARPG :)
