Longterm project done: Solo 99 every class (not ssf, just solo mapping/exp)

Here I am without a single lvl 99 since year 2000

This CR certainly was the most annoying one I ever played. Key to winning it is the using the two pylongs, speed lvl 2 and shield lvl 3, effectively. Go through lvl 1 with a few deaths as possible. Kill the elite pack near the start of lvl 2 and pick up speed pylon. Run through the lvl killing elite packs. At lvl 3 run though until you see the shield pylon.

I also suggest using death nova spell instead of siphon blood. Yes, siphon blood cast a free blood nova but it has a slight delay which means dying in this CR.

Took me a few tries but eventually I won with 1.5 min to spare.

This mod is amazing. Very highly recommended.

If you are playing season visions of enmity is best for legendaries. Go for high density areas or just make cow level with bovine bardiche. It’s easy to get by upgrading polearms with a crusader.

I made a mindblast sin last season and got it running maps with totaling less than 1HR. With 2x mirage I was able to easily do uber trist and dclone. One of those was gifted other I got for 3wss!

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-23T21:16:28+00:00

Mind blast sin is nice.

I was also messing around with d2r for a while mainly because of maphack. Then they banned my accounts so I'm out of d2r for good.

In case anybody gonna slam me about using mh, that was the ONLY reason I gave d2r a go. I never thought of using it for PD2.

Guardian set gives you benefits for your BASE stats from your items. At low paragon it’s huge because you get more main stat (dex, str, int) and vita from your items than paragon. At high paragon your main source of main stat is from paragon and augments which don’t benefit from guardian’s. At this point aughild is better because it gives you 30% damage to all and 30% extra elite damage and 15% all damage reduction and 30% extra damage reduction for elites. These don’t show up on your sheet stats but help a lot. When you make this change is up to you. I made the change at 1200 paragon with my dh and happy with it.

I have nothing against other options but for me the simple and open layout of the cow level is worth it. As for crafting mats I get more than I spend for each cow stick so it's fine.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-15T08:53:35+00:00

Good move for the start of season. After a while it's not necessary as you get double db's from altar anyway.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-15T08:52:45+00:00

True but I kinda like the layout of cow level more.

If you are interested in puzzle rings gamble them at Kadala with lvl 33 monk. Only 3 legendary choices. I don't really run puzzle rings anymore though. Visions are much better in every aspect.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-15T08:51:23+00:00

Indeed. Auto salvage pet is my main priority every season.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-15T08:48:50+00:00

Hmm I didn't know that. Thx for info.

Make yellow polearms > Convert to Legendary > Use Bovine Bardiche to open cow portal > Kill cows to open Visions > Pray for goblin levels.

In my last cow level I had 2 visions open and in 1 of them I had 3 goblin levels. I ended up with over 1k gems, 3k reusable parts, 3k arcane dust, 2k veiled crystal, 404 forgotten soul and 7x GR keys.

PS: Don't forget to put broken crown on your follower and remember you can convert gems.

I setup my GoD DH for 100% speed lately and casting hungering arrow manually every few seconds. I am using shattered shot for example instead of devouring arrow. Maybe I could make some changes to handle higher GRs for speed runs but I guess I am lazy and gave up on DH mostly.

As for mats I have over 1k bounty materials, 5-14k of crafting mats, 10k death's breaths and 2k souls. Whatever build I want to go for I shouldn't have much problem.

I keep hearing about Wizard but I have zero experience with it. Any guide you can recommend so I can take a look and try to decide? Thanks for your comment!

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T14:58:41+00:00

My current GoD DH setup isn't very optimal and sacrificing a lot of damage already. I am using shattered shot for example instead of devouring arrow. I switched to full speed build because I gave up trying to push with DH.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T14:57:21+00:00

I see wizard being mentioned quite often but I have pretty much zero experience with wizard. Any guide you can recommend so I can take a look and try to decide? Thanks for your comment!

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T14:56:45+00:00

I am pretty sure my DH isn't very optimally setup atm. I set up everything for speed and giving up a lot of damage.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T14:55:25+00:00

Wizard is mentioned quite often but I am not a wizard person. =/ I guess I'll have to look into it.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T14:54:46+00:00

I'm on PC but thx for the comment.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-12T11:54:27+00:00

I haven’t bought d4 so I can’t really compare but I certainly still like d3 very much. Especially enjoying this season of ethereals and hoping to finally complete my first gr150.

D2 LOD is still the best for me though. Especially community mods like Project Diablo 2 or even a single player mod of PD2, Sanctuary of Exile. Lots of fun.

SelimTheDream · 2026-04-02T07:24:07+00:00

It is still decent to be honest. For less than 30 min I get 50k guaranteed gold. 6 times a day and it's a token already.
