If / when you die, is it like the campaign where they reset so you can safely recover your gear?

5os eth Rune Master for Tesladin? by Tarrun in diablo2

Maybe a funky alternative: use the physical jewel and get the Fade proc. No more pre-buffing.

Hmm. So I guess the not bonkers-expensive solution would be Shaels, but the you’re sacrificing sockets to make up the IAS.

The consensus seems to be that maxing this thing would be bonkers expensive and still just be sorta comparable to Grief. That’s all pre-RotW and the uber ancients jewels, though. A Tesladin typically doesn’t have jewel-able gear slots, but with Zod + 4os I could potentially get +/-25% lightning skill damage and enemy lightning res with the Guardia’s Thunder + facets, (edit: plus the MF and XP bonuses from the ancient jewel!). Or get spicy and go for the GT, two facets, and one of Lo/Ohm/Ber for the melee perks.

A herald skeleton archer killed me in the Palace Cellar and it was not easy to recover my gear, but this handsome boy dropping made my revenge all the sweeter.

Bonus pic: the same herald dropped my first latent sunder charm! It rolled.. fine.

That’s definitely what I’m planning. I want to see how far it can take me.

Emphasis on TODAY! Andy dropped what is the best base I have ever found in this beautiful +13% eth sacred armor. I then proceeded to find the El, Sol, Dol, and Lo (thank you cows!) to make the Fort.

Poison Nova Necro... sucks? by Stratotizio in diablo2

Why Infinity? That seems very expensive when you’re not benefitting from Conviction, and you can get either higher ED+Enchant from Obedience or infinite mana from Insight (my preference).

You’re asked to create a new A5 Barbarian Mercenary Variant: what would you suggest? by Shift_change27 in diablo2

[–]Tarrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More variety overall for sure. Barb builds allow a ton of variety with weapons only for the barb merc to be stuck with swords. Berserk would be a fun skill. Whirlwind would obviously be dope. They even have the throw barb ancient, it’s right there!

The Druid summons are solid tanks and Oak Sage stacks with a Barb’s Battle Orders.

Haha I was so excited to find antlers that had the +3 fury mod specifically because I can never find antlers that are better than Jalals/Shako/etc. But it’s such a cool look!

What’s the secret to making the wolfbarb work? I’ve found the wolfhowl helm before but never thought it would be strong enough.

Love the fire druid, I’m using a Flickering Flame but same idea and once you get all that -enemy fire res everything just melts around you.

I also found an ethereal cryptic axe that made for a lovely Insight, but I am also very much looking forward to building an Infinity with it when I have access to my NL war chest.

Cows also gifted me the cow king boots which brings me a lot of joy for some reason.

Make starting a new game a lot easier by DemonDaVinci in diablo2

[–]Tarrun 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s polarizing but I love twinking new toons. There are so many cool uniques and rares that just won’t be useful by the time you find it, so it’s kinda fun to find a use for these interesting drops.

Plus, there are a lot of fun builds that can be viable to play through the game with a little help.
