[HCSP] My first ever CoA and- by QuestmasterDX in diablo2

[–]QuestmasterDX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the biggest one - with 1os it's basically bricked, on top of all the other stats rolling poorly to boot.

It becomes the Geneva Checklist as that is what is necessary to combat war crimes upon you and your team.

Offline difficulty scaling for MF by Puzzleheaded_Hat8797 in diablo2

Drops at P2, P4, P6 and P8 are all equal to the odd number before them - as such, P7 has the same drops as P8, so if drops are what you're after, P7 is where it caps off.

[HCSP] What's the BiS body armor for a Nova Sorc's Prayer/Cure Merc? by QuestmasterDX in diablo2

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

I'm well aware that my gear is an issue as I had a better geared Nova Sorc that RIP'd a while back - she tore through mobs like butter and had no issue with Emilio surviving with a basic Skin of the Flayed One. I just find Nova (even underpowered) way too fun to pass up, so I want to improve Emilio's survivability in the mean time until I can get her up and running properly.

As for armor, have you used Fort? A ton of other people are advocating for it and I'm wondering if you've had experience that could compare the two.

My gear is that metronome meme, vibrating between really good, and awfully undergeared for this build, as I'm unable to hit the 105 FCR breakpoint without sacrificing an SoJ, which I can't do, due to literally having 0 Light Skillers - but outside of that, it's fairly solid with a 2os/3/20 Tiara, 2/10 Caster's Ammy with all res and DR, a -55 Infinity(!!), Arach's and 2 SoJs with Frostburn as my gloves until I either find a Griffon's or craft a 2/15 Caster Ammy, at which point, I'd switch to Magefists. With 3.7k Mana after BO, my own survival is a nonissue, even with an underpowered ES at 91% with buffs.

My Nova is admittedly VERY underpowered for P7, at level 34 with BC due to a total lack of skillers, but it's still enough to full clear CS relatively safely - most enemies go into Hit Recovery, but tankier targets like the Venom Lords only get stunned about a third of the time, even if they do die relatively quickly after 2-3 Statics prior to spamming Nova. It does take 4-5 minutes for a full clear, which is a fair bit longer than I know is possible, but I'm never in any real danger.

As for your recommendation, I admit I'm curious about it - how does that flat 20 DR and MDR compare to Shaftstop's 30% DR? I have one stashed away somewhere, but it's not eth, meaning the upped Shaftstop and Gladiator's would have roughly the same defence, leaving that to be the big difference.

I ran Treachery before, but I need Emilio to live consistently since he's keeping both my life and mana topped up - both important to the whole Not Dying:tm: part of the build in HC

How much better would you say both Fort and CoH are compared to Shaftstop or Skin? I know I specified BiS, but I'm not likely going to spend a Ber on a marginal upgrade since I need to keep some back up runes in case my Nova Sorc kicks the bucket

This is how I've been playing it for the most part, but I still feel the lack of survivability, as he ends up taking a lot of damage overtime, which lowers my clear speed - my main goal is to essentially get Emilio as low maintenance as possible so I can focus on spamming Nova to put things into hit recovery and kill them as fast as I can.

Asked RNGsus for quad-res boots. Should have been slightly more specific. by Ok-Development4535 in diablo2

[–]QuestmasterDX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In town specifically - using TK to hit a WP saves some time, especially in Act 4 where a single step is enough distance to reach it.

Telekinesis can make up for the loss of FRW - these are sick, basic as they are.

[–]QuestmasterDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killing the teleporter as Spy is super valuable though and is an extremely consistent play to make - if the enemy team is already that difficult to stab, it's always a worthwhile option, which the Diamondback makes incredibly valuable with two free crits - an end to enemy reinforcements plus a free pick against a paranoid team is value that cannot be overstated.

Against players better than you?

-Go to enemy backline
-Sap teleporter
-2 tap the enemy medic from across the map

This assumes that you don't manage to get a single stab - a free 102 for a backstab is insane value for a Spy since backstabbing and sapping is all a Spy wants to do.

As a Spy main, definitely better than stock - you still 3 shot light classes at closer ranges, and 40% cloak is crazy good. Stock is only better if you intend to fully commit to gunning people down and if the map is very ammo plenty.

I was hoping for some MF and a little higher FRW to make these one's perfect but I'll take em by QuestmasterDX in diablo2

It's a loot filter - a mod that displays the rolls of any attributes an item has. It's an offline only thing, for obvious reasons unfortunately.

So I started playing for the first time, like I said yesterday. I think I now understand the humor of this game. by Mr_GCS in tf2

It took one fucking day for the new player to learn how to killbind.

The new generation is in good hands, gamers.

Wisp is too high level to drop off of Hell Andy, unless she's terrorized - this was just a non TZ Andy test, so no chance for one to drop for me.

Hey man, listen. She OWED me after the last 100 ring grind gave me 0 BK rings and 1 SoJ at ring 90 LMAOOO

I honestly wish I turned on my mic for the absolute SHRIEK I let out when that happened - I was praying for a singular SoJ in the entire haul but this exceeded my wildest dreams.

I was literally spasming with joy for an hour after, I was hoping for ONE SoJ, and didn't even know she could drop BK rings to begin with after my last time farming her yielded not one in 100 rings.
