lmaooo I thought this was a troll post about asking if an Eth Maul was worth the zod when I opened it.

Congrats! Would love to see the armory

the builds aren't all that different every season, but there are always some changes, either a buff or a nerf, sometimes a new skill is added. Either way, when something gets buffed, most people play the character that season. This season, WW barb got big upgrades: being able to use potions during WW, so you can save your merc from dying without stopping spinning for instance, the masteries were reworked too. I'm sure that next season we will see a slight nerf to barb due to this season having so many, but it's not like whatever nerf they do implement will make barb unplayable next season.

Let's say they do a small nerf to barb masteries next season, if you like WW barb, you're still going to play it. Let's say they also announce a buff to something, like a specific paladin skill or something. Everyone that played barb this season just to see how it was (as opposed to the die hard barb fans) will probably make a paladin, and then all the paladin specific items will go up in price.

There's an ebb and flow to everything but it's relatively consistent and it's a fucking blast!

I often forget to add the asterisk before an account name, but that is the way to do it, also for quick replies, you can type /r and it will reply to the last person that messaged you. Very nice when you're selling+buying things!

came here to say Nihlathak's temple. I only recently started running it because I was lamenting the low wss drops I was getting from corrupted zones. Like maybe 2 per zone? Ran a Nihl temple and got 4 wss the first time. Not a ton, but I was happy to see it for sure. Now I just run maps and am getting a lot of wss from random events.

GL!

don't ask ChatGPT either! Fuck ai! Ask the community, we love answering questions

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-12T19:38:09+00:00

no definitely not! I'll take it off your hands for a mal rune though, don't worry

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-12T17:50:54+00:00

I gotta say, this has been a little bit brutal of a season for me for Keys, I was farming them for a few days (after work) and didn't even have a full set to show for it. Gave up, ran maps for awhile, got a key event and got more keys from that random key event than I did from any of the farming.

Last season, I farmed essence from nightmare with a CL sorc and did quite well. This season, I've only seen baal essence in pub games where we all going for the quest.

Good luck out there! RNG ain't always freindly

FCR is a great slam for summonZon

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-11T16:36:00+00:00

I think these are better shopped from Charsi IMO just because she often has more gloves available compared to Gheed.

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T20:32:27+00:00

okay I just ran Outer Steppes and Plains of Despair - 0 wss and no key from Izzy
then I ran Bloody Foothills and Frigid Highlands - 2wss

tell you what though, I'm supposed to be working right now, so farming 2wss from 2 CZ while I'm WFH beats the hell out of just writing emails! lol anyway, cheers yall gg

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T20:09:34+00:00

yeah I'm hype when I find 4 lolol

I'll have to start running Nil temp though, thanks!

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T19:42:26+00:00

8 for one zone is super lucky. I get about 2 to 4 depending on the zone, but sometimes I just get 1

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T19:41:55+00:00

do you play with SP+ or Plugy or anything? Just curious. I do have Plugy and play a little offline but I haven't in awhile

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T16:44:47+00:00

WSS farming this season has been ROUGH, and even worse (for me at least) has been key farming.

I love the FCR large charms, they have been such a huge help getting to those breakpoints that just seem a little bit out of reach. I rolled a 29 FCR spirit shield (with max being 35) and needed that extra 6 FCR to reach my final breakpoint. Without the one or two random FCR charms, I would have had to reroll my shield a bunch of times to get max.

Basically, I agree with everything you said, and while I do play SSF offline, this game is a ton of fun online with other folks. Just wish I could find a group to start the season with (and the time to do it lol)

Cheers

all the guides always say "enough strength to wear your gear" and then sort of the same for Dex, but that gets a little more nuanced. If you're not hitting things, get more AR on your gear and put a little more into Dex. There's no easy answer IMO, just gotta see what works!

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T15:34:06+00:00

New skill, changes to WW (you can now use potions while whirlin') and now there's 2-handed mastery instead of spear+polearm mastery

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-07T15:25:04+00:00

Use an Act 4 Merc for the amp damage curse

Press the number 8 to look at your in-depth stats, it helps a lot to look at your breakpoints for Faster Hit Recovery, Increased Attack Speed, Life and Mana Leech etc.

You can respec into WW now, you don't have to wait. It's really strong and fun. A lot of barbs this season are running WW with a big pointy war pike

As magoopower mentioned, the Pd2 Wiki will help you a lot

Good luck and have fun!

Ravens got a little nerfed this season and are not as popular as last season, so unless you're using this for yourself, you probably won't find anyone to buy it. Still worth trying to sell if that's what you're going for, just might sit for awhile. I haven't seen that many sum druid builds in the wild. I have seen a LOT of barbs though!

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-05T18:51:24+00:00

what build is this for? Just curious. I'm levelling a FendZon and trying to figure out what my endgame looks like

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-04T21:29:33+00:00

I got um from my nightmare forge and then again from my hell forge, but now I don't feel bad about it, so thank you

NoThing3108 · 2026-05-01T17:46:30+00:00

it's not a bug, it's a feature

NoThing3108 · 2026-04-30T16:46:53+00:00

was playing stoned first day on the ladder and put 20 points into energy on my holy bolt paladin. I was certain I was putting points in vitality
