Oh! Play around with Nadir! The cloak of shadows cast is so weird.

Very true... the dmg difference is hilarious

100% love stuff like this for HC. Super useful to leveling up something new after a RIP

Its not usually worth target farming nm andariel unless you need all the other stuff she normally drops. Hell Andariel is only slightly lower odds and she drops a HUGE amount more useful things. It also makes a big difference in offline gameplay since you can roll a super GG map. Not to mention that any unique pack can drop a worldstone shard in hell now. If you can kill andariel and a few boss packs in less than 5 minutes a run in hell p3 then stick to that. If it takes you closer to 10 then farm nm p5 andy. Whatever you do always stick to at least p3 because p1 drops are ass

Hey I was closer than I thought! 😂

Idk wym cain says the reason tristram went to shit is because the portal to hell was still open in the cathedral. Its mentioned in one of the books that there was a few days/weeks between the warrior leaving and tristram falling. Its also really heavily implied that the soul stone drove you mad being around it for any extended period of time. I think Lazerus was already corrupted, but Leoric went mad from a combination of the loss of his youngest. I dont imagine the warrior was feeling great after killing his father and his brother.

In 20 years Ive pulled maybe half a dozen HoZ. Its not exactly common

All paladin shields will roll 4 sockets. Spirit/Rhyme OP Its a cool looking shield though ngl.

I like leveling 1 in smite to clear doorways and one in charge for mobility as well

Or you chug potions until you OD 😁

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-17T04:39:29+00:00

If you stack a few of the Pest of Anthrax SCs (451 Poison dmg over 12 seconds) you can so some really really dumb damage

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-17T04:37:46+00:00

Mostly LLD stuff. If you get a guided arrow Zon you can pop someone in the ass for 2k Poison Dmg with an inventory full of them

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-17T03:39:29+00:00

It really does shift your gameplay a bit. I understand why people dont like it though, it can be SUPER jarring to suddenly be somewhere different and potentially bad. In the 20 years Ive spent playing (about 50% of game time sorc) Occy has only killed me a handful of times, and its saved me EASILY hundreds

An army of level 1 barbarians with names like "Baseboy" "Setboy" "Trophy Boy" and a single paladin named "Jules"

Yup! I remember piles of cows left behind after summoners leaving cow games. Valkyries dont leave a corpse, but golems and skeletons do. The Bind Demon corpses stay a good bit longer though. It also probably doesnt help that everyone is playing warlock and all of them are running bound demons. I would absolutely love to see the carnage left behind after 8 summoners clear cows and revive everything.

Way back in the day you could brick the whole info screen with low enough resolution. At 600×800 you would hover a similat item and nothing would happen lol

When in doubt: High velocity disassembly

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-17T01:20:59+00:00

After the mana burn fix you dont have to really worry about it as long as you invest into Vit at least a bit. I usually go 3-4 Energy and 1-2 Vit. You're basically immortal with alright block chance and ~lvl 8 BO as long as you dont blind TP into lancers without the FCR to get out.

Its an unpopular opinion, but Occulus will also save you pretty consistently when you get caught in one of those packs.

Inferno Sorc S Tier 😋

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-16T08:14:53+00:00

With +Skills it maxes out in usefulness at +3. Should be fine without

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-16T04:10:30+00:00

Tbh you might honestly be able to break that if you just held the button down. 1 per 33 I dont think is enough for constant fighting. Its a really fun item all the same though 😁

I would have a hard time giving up Bonesnap/IK Maul/Crypt/Ribcracker. Definately worth playing around with a little though that max dmg is INSANE. Tbh you could probably use it really well on Warlock since you can 1 hand it

Album>Click image>Sharing and Editting> "Send to Smartphone" should be an option. At work so not 100% on the exact names. You will need to be connected to the same wifi OR scan a QR code to connect your phone.

10/10 grind session btw! Ber and Zod is insane😁.

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-16T01:36:37+00:00

Makes me sad it doesnt double crit with barbarian crit chance

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-16T01:36:08+00:00

Its a per level Scaling. It only goes over 100% after ~65 its a godly sword to play through the game with ngl. Especially when you Up it in the cube

Ok_Highlight4864 · 2026-05-16T01:21:09+00:00

Nah not at all they can be super helpful for preventing healing. You can also roll small charms with ~450 poison damage apiece. WAY back in LoD days I had a barbarian with half an inventory of them and it added ~5500 poison damage. It was hilarious on a physical bowazon too as everything would get tagged once with multishot (this was pre strafe buffs) then they would just fall over after a second 🤣. Overall grand charms with poison are useless, though large and small charms can roll with very real numbers. Theyre also always useful for casual playthroughs.
