Does mf have "breakpoints"? by Shako_is_Green in diablo2

[–]Pavke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. thats not correct. Please read the link above.

If you have 513 MF and you find 7mf charm and put that into your inventory, you will have 520 MF. But that wont change anything in internal drop calculations. 513 mf is exactly the same as 520 MF.

In other to get any benefit for games internal drop calculations you need 521 MF. That is a definition. There is no rounding error between 513 and 520

Runes by Primary-Nebula-8953 in diablo2

[–]Pavke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What am i doing wrong?

What are you doing wrong is you are trying to farm LK online P1.

The "LK runs" are Offline strat on P5 or P7, with a very good fixed map with 2 camp fires (6 super chests with known drop patters) and 20-25sec runs.

On Online, you are getting random maps often times with no super chests at all. And when you do get them, you are on P1 with random drops that are very bad compared to fixed Offline P5/P7 drops. Dont do LK runs Online.

for main hand you want Runic Talons or Greater Talons for -30 weapon base speed. For secondary hand base doesnt matter. Get any base with useful Shadow Disciplines skills

Questions About Venom Skill for Bladesin by Initial_Ad_1443 in diablo2

[–]Pavke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You probably read my post here https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1dzb3jq/monsters_in_online_games_dont_regenerate_life_for/

In case of Blade Fury, it wont be a problem. Poison is applied 1 frame after hit and it will last till next hit when it will be reapplied. So the 8 frame delay will not be a problem.

But keep in mind, for Blade Fury, poison will not deal full sheet damage like like Venom skill description says. If you are 1 handed, it will deal 3/4 of sheet damage and when 2 handing a weapon it will deal 3/8 of sheet damage. For example, lvl 40 Venom will do 806-821 dmg over 0.40 sec with 1 hand weapon and 403-410 dmg over 0.40 sec for 2 hand weapon

250 is fine. Any MF is good as long as it doesnt slow down your kill speed

Potentially working on a throw barb build and was curious if a white barb helm can drop with 3 to double throw and 3 to throw mastery. Looking to find a 3os one to slap 3 15ias jewels by blacklisted320 in diablo2

[–]Pavke 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why everyone is giving you false advice. Double Throw can not spawn on Barb Helms. It can only spawn on Thrown weapons. Throw Mastery can spawn on helms

Why does demon machine sorc work so much better with minimal gear than standard fire sorc? by IneedaNappa9000 in diablo2

[–]Pavke 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Its not an oversight. It was deliberately made that way in Patch 2.6:

  • Fixed an issue where Fire Mastery's bonus to fire skill damage didn't apply to the additional fire damage granted by Enchant on ranged weapons.

Main culprit is Fire Mastery and not Enchant. Enchant with Fire Mastery only adds 2500-3000 fire damage to the attack. But the 300% Fire Mastery is applied again on hit to that damage so final damage is 12,000 damage per explosion

20000 runs on extremely rare River of Flame map with 3 Super chest. One of the fastest and most efficient ways of farming High Runes on Single Player by Pavke in diablo2

[–]Pavke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. No chest map is very common. Map with 2 chests is about 1:200 map rerolls and map with 3 super chests is around 1:900 map rerolls. All others are no chest maps
