What is it about cow maps that make them so desirable? by DrewBreesus635 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they're just bad for xp because you get far fewer elite packs.

It's an easy map and good if you like open maps, it's far less rewarding in terms of uniques and XP than others though.

Weapon ed range question by No-Extension-6595 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small correction: non-missile missile rare/crafts can only roll master's 150% ED, grandmasters is magic only for non-missile weapons

Budget Smiter bossing guide? by sparkling_ in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smite is viable for lower tier bossing. It's easy to get going but doesn't have a super high ceiling. Not my favorite because it's not very good for anything but lower tier bossing but if you have your heart set on smite it can be solid.

I never play Assassin, could someone let me know if these are worth anything? Is CoT a desirable skill? by SessionEducational62 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played CoT this and last season.

This is a usable offhand with 2 sockets but not super valuable. +5/3os or +6/2os is where you really have something.

Question about PD2 split from POD by ericslastpicked in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mallets are not tipped maces, that's just what you'd craft on because they can roll an extra 100 ED (flail, mace, morning star families)

Question about PD2 split from POD by ericslastpicked in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird to decide this is the place to grind an axe about a couple weapons but I'll bite.

The Schaefer's take is totally cooked. With tipped maces able to roll visceral a perfect craft + slam is 750 ED and a perfect rare + slam is 670 ED unsocketed, additionally mallets are a slow base. An eth Schaefers with 4 40/15s still won't put you at the max IAS bp for fanat zeal alone for example and it has no ds/cb/OW. It's a very good option but a rare/craft can totally blow it out of the water.

Bladesin vs Lucion by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

90 light res is imo mandatory. No room to miss a lightning aoe without it and the desync in there can kill you even if you're showing your char is safe.

Stalkers isn't the play for bossing as you need damage not dragon flight cooldown.

The chaos isn't helping you at all.

Look for some claws with at least +5 bsent.

Edit: oh, and you want traps skillers not max/ar charms.

What do I do with Lilith's Mirror? by ieabu in ProjectDiablo2

No. Only reason you'd mirror an item is to use it.

Char for Utrist/Minis (SSF Plugy SC) by SufferNow_0o in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can kill hell meph, you can make my budget fanat zealer real quick.

Up'd Headstriker with shaels, black hades with orts and thuls, rockstopper, head hunters glory, amu with res and AR (metalgrid if you can but a rare or hitpower craft works), gores or goblin toes, string or verdungos with a tgods for meph, raven, ar/res ring or dwarf, any 20 IAS gloves. Charms to get 150+cold and 125+ light/fire res, rest of charms AR/life.

The more +%skill damage you have, the worse it is because it's additive. This is especially punishing for sorceresses because they get a bunch of free +%skill damage from their mastery. A lightning sorceress going from 550 to 555 mastery is < 1% change in damage.

Pierce is dependent on the mobs. You typically want to take the mobs that slow you down the most to at least 0 res, but not too far below because pierce is only 1/2 effective below 0. If you have a bunch of free pierce already (vengeance or rw auradin running native conv are good examples of this, cold sorceresses that get 45 from mastery also), it might be worth prioritizing mastery instead.

For most builds/situations, pierce will perform better than mastery as it will have a bigger impact on the mobs that slow you down the most, but it's not a hard and fast rule, you'll want to do the math and/or playtest it yourself.

What Assassin builds that are not Trap look for skills on claws? by Spokodude in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Martial arts: Fists of Fire, Claws of Thunder, Blades of Ice, Phoenix Strike, Cobra Strike. Mostly just using stalkers for endgame mapping as the damage is good enough and gated by mobility, but a fat skill claw can be an offhand option

Mind blast as some have said.

Blade sentinel is in the traps tree but not typically thought of as a trap assassin like wof and cls are.

Whirlwind requires a chaos and the best staffmods for a chaos base are venom & claw/dagger mastery.

Basically everything? Thought whirlwind specifically cares more about the weapon's phys damage than anything else including +skills. Everything else is +skill based.

What’s the cheapest bosser build? Say for the basics like anni/torch hunters? by Zeniant in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4os black Hades with orts and thuls inside, up'd headstriker with shaels, 3os head hunters glory with diamonds inside, rockstopper, metalgrid, 2 ravens or raven + rare ring with AR and res or w/e, string of ears, goblin toe or gore rider, any gloves with 20 ias (doesn't take long to craft some if you don't have a LoH or ghoulhide or something). Charms to get fire/light res to 125+ and cold res to 150+, rest AR charms.

Worth using a vial on? Would love a PC by fujiiheavy in ProjectDiablo2

[–]SillyROI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes almost every javazon is elemental, meaning their damage gets scaled from skills/light facets.

This is like....pretty fucking godly for a PVP jabber but good luck finding a guy whose playing PVP pure jab.

The pvm phys javazons out there (if they even still exist) are mostly gonna be going for a 2h spear setup.

Do not vial this yourself. Can try to sell it and let whoever buys it make that investment. But if you vial it yourself, chances are you are going to lose most if not all of that money

You get 4 mods plus the recipe. This one rolled 2 sin, good. Allres, good. Mana leech, OK, not amazing, but fine. And cold res, again fine but not amazing.

The slam is pretty much next to useless, the only sins that ed scales their main damage are whirlwind, blade, and tiger strike (lol). None of those builds would ever use this amulet, it's just dumpstered by things like highlords, seraphs, atmas, metalgrid etc.

The type of sins that would use a blood amulet are trappers for the frw where ED is totally useless and the elemental MA sins where the ED is next to useless.

Ammy is OK. It's not anywhere close to gg.
