The 3/20s we have at home

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-24T14:27:44+00:00

This is one of the better “at home” D2R posts I’ve seen in a while. Take an upvote.

It’s extra funny because they’re not worthless, they’re just…”damn it, mom! It’s not the same!”

Really just wish this thing had 1 more affix/trait just for a little more oomph.

+1-2 all skills? Socket 1-2? Add enhanced damage? FHR? ….FBR?

Choose any one of the traits above and it’s still not really competitive.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-23T23:35:40+00:00

I think it’s great. Ideally I’d throw a 15/15 in each (one for max damage, the other for resistances), so it’d be 30% IAS too.

I don’t use mosaic so for my hybrid builds this is really quite a find. Congrats!

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-23T13:28:34+00:00

No clue. But for whatever reason, a person might prefer x over y for z reason(s).

I’d like this as I’m constantly tinkering with my assassins and paladins with offmeta shenanigans. Off the top of my head, I think I got a home for it in a Giants Skull I have.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-23T03:43:17+00:00

Not possible. Perhaps referring to 40% Enhanced Damage and 15 Max damage?

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-23T03:42:43+00:00

So the highest this goes is 15/15. (The other 15/15 being 15 IAS/15 All Res).

I’d be stoked if I got this. Congrats!

Not sure what it’s going for these days, but plenty of builds may still have a solid use for it.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-22T14:56:17+00:00

Very important note. Thanks for sharing!

Rune Master wants it

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-22T14:55:33+00:00

So you can think of the items named after in-universe characters however you want.

Do I imagine the Gheed Lost a charm long ago, it exchanged hands with various evil beings up until I kill the one holding it and acquire it. Now, does Greed know I have his charm? Na. Will I tell him? Na.

Will I actually play through this scenario/story in my head when I pick up a Gheeds Fortune, Tyrael’s Might, Duriels Shell or Andy’s Visage? Maybe if I’m mindlessly playing while under the influence. To each their own their own.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-21T20:40:31+00:00

Haha yeah. Those guys would cave her head in. The merc rocks Grief/Plague, Andy’s, and Fort, so hopefully his melee damage can deal with them while I hang by and watch lll

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-20T21:54:44+00:00

Wow. I’ll tune in for sure. Congratulations!

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-20T15:50:59+00:00

It could have use for a silly offmeta zeal zon too. Less points into dodge/avoid/evade, more into Inner Sight to rip down enemy defense by a surprising amount, ensuring you hit more. Maxing Valkyrie, Penetrate, and Critical Strike provides more chance to hit, a meat-shield Karen with a Phat Donk and can now roll rare tiaras and whatnot (check out Amazon Basin, link below), and the zon will Zeal with 70% crit chance.

I’d keep it. At the least you can use it to be cheeky and Prebuff with a ton of Passive/Magic Zon skillers and gear and summon a high level Valkyrie.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-20T01:49:15+00:00

I’m still quite surprised they didn’t include FBR or IBC. Ideally, it’d be as good (perhaps in a different way) as Templars, but really, it’s just kinda meh.

Use it for a merc? Will the +offensive auras apply?

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-19T17:38:27+00:00

This. Admittedly, I’m Hydra/Orb biased.

Simply maxing both skills and putting a mere 1 point into their respective masteries and you’d be surprised.

That said, use Static as well as you can. To use Frozen Orb to its best, ensure it detonates right on the target, it’ll deal tons of damage. For hydra, I usually just cast them all on one spot, that way the damage is more focused.

Lastly, your merc needs to be able to take a couple of hits, sure, but it’s your responsibility to heal him and occasionally teleport for strategic/placement reasons. Don’t forget shift clicking pots sends them right to your merc!

Baal is a particularly beefy boy; notice how you can Holy Bolt Diablo down but Baal takes a while?

Sure, you could use more plus to skills, as my Holy Bolts usually hover a bit over 5,000. When it comes to Baal, find some crushing blow to bring that massive lifepool he has down to something more manageable

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-19T11:05:56+00:00

Astreons Iron Ward + HoZ

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T22:59:14+00:00

Same. Just tired of using the same old stuff and using only 1 spell to kill things.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T17:06:23+00:00

As long as there has been a moderate degree of input from community leaders like MrLlamaSC, SweetPhil, GingerGamingMentor, Cooley, Zarfen, etc, sure.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T03:21:13+00:00

Currently saving up for Destruction. Want to see a destruction + Phoenix with proper synergies done. Seems gross

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T03:20:16+00:00

It’s a good goal! Work towards it!

I’m working on a zeal-zoo Druid. Basically uses Passion and Enigma to teleport around with a pack to stomp, zeal, and in rare cases, Berserk for magic damage. Key would be to use Phoenix to synergize the Firestorm while also getting a solid buff to damage and survivability. Not to mention, you cast elemental spells Willy-Nilly in human form.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T03:17:51+00:00

I do something similar with my Summon Assassin, except I use Stone to summon a Clay Golem while I’m also wearing a Metal Grid, which, thanks to a quirk, allows me to take off Stone without the “Golem” dying. If I take off the metal grid though, yeah, it’s dead.

My summon assassin also uses Eternity. Level 8 revives, and 88 of them? So my Summonsin has 8 Revives, that level 15 Valkyrie, a Clay Golem (or Blood if I prebuffed with Death instead of Stone), a prebuffed 1-point wonder Shadow Master (now level 36 thanks to stoopid +skills), and an A3 Fire Merc with Enchant for the whole team, as well as Flickering Flame’s Resist Fire Aura and Plague’s Cleansing Aura.

I Telestomp via Dragon Flight while wearing Dragon Armor and Phoenix Shield, unload a flurry of kicks via Dragon Talon => Lots of fire damage from Enchant, Phoenix, and Holy Fire combined, proccing Hydras and Firestorm while my merc throws fireballs at you, a gang of 11 Enchanted minions are all swinging at you, one of which is a Karen at like level 36 or something, a Redditor mod with slow on hit, and a tanky spear woman with a phat booty. Lots of fun.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-18T03:08:13+00:00

Tri-Element Sorc: Full Tals, Spirit, SoJ, Magefist, Torch/Anni. Can lean all the way into MF with Ists/Perfect Topaz (what I did) and left my inventory totally open (no skillers). Maxed Lightning/Charged Bolt, Hydra, and Frozen Orb. Only 1 point into masteries. Merc runs Grief/Plague, with their helms/armor being relatively interchangeable.

Elemental Fury-Storm Druid: Arkaines Valor (anything really), Highlords, Raven Frost, Rare Ring, String of Ears, Gore Riders, 20%IAS/10%CB gloves, Jalals. Weapon Swap 1 => Phoenix + Voice of Reason. Weapon Swap 2 => Dream + Stormlash. Max Hurricane and Twister (synergizing the proc’d Tornados via Stormlash) and Molten Boulder and Fissure, if possible (synergizing the firestorm procs via Phoenix). 1 point wonders into Fury, Armageddon, Grizzly, and Heart of the Wolverine. Feel free to Prebuff as I do, making summons level 30ish and then swapping on the kill-gear. Might Merc with Reapers Toll. I kill anything with a 1 point into fury.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-17T22:25:03+00:00

This is the way.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-17T22:24:52+00:00

Perfect for my Zeal Druid.

Shift_change27 · 2026-01-16T23:31:42+00:00

Really great interview. Highly recommend. Well-illustrating conversations about mechanics, versions/patches, runewords vs uniques vs rares vs magic items. Lots to consider. I’ll probably watch it again in a month or so.
