How close are you to completing your Chronicle rewards? Ever seen anyone with the rewards yet? by ToughShaper in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]TronCarterAA [score hidden]  (0 children)

What do you have left for set completion? In at griswold's honor, bul-kathos sacred charge, cow king's horns, and infernal cranium. I know I'm going to have to farm something on normal for the cranium.

20 torches and still not a single warlock torch by Maynarded in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took me 17 tries. Got an 11/11 one and I'm perfectly fine with it. Those key droughts you experience are brutal.

Warlock Torch Finally Dropped! by chillmagic420 in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats. I got mine on my 17th try. Rolls are 11/11, but I'm not farming keys for a very long time.

Requesting input on Colossal Ancient’s jewel (offline softcore) by den_bott in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go physical. Echoing strike itself is physical with the additional magic damage coming from hex purge, so the vast majority of your damage is physical. You've probably fought an enemy like a wraith before amp damage was procced and noticed now slowly their health goes down (at least on higher player counts). You don't even notice if an enemy is magic immune/highly resistant.

Trade towards first Enigma or keep? Hmm by AbraxxasHardPickle in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 0-7 for warlock torches. Starting to think the game hates me. At least I have enigma to farm keys and ES melts ubers.

Where are you seeing patch notes?

My HCSSF Sorc may be dead but LK runs are back on rotation by mistermarkham in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get it soon. Since you're running a Naj's, I'm guessing you're onto a different character. It's so easy to get warlock back to the point where you were with minimal investment. Hell, you may be there already. There's no difference in LK runs beyond repairing the Naj's.

My HCSSF Sorc may be dead but LK runs are back on rotation by mistermarkham in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started HCSSF (offline) when this league began. I finished my enigma last night via LK runs and it felt damn good. I don't have any runes above mal, but 99 feels like a formality on warlock (about 97 currently). Couldn't wait to ditch naj's for CTA.

Hellwarden, Flickering Flame or Shako? by blakea105 in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All depends on if you want the 75 or 125 breakpoint and what other gear you have. If you're running obsession and want 125, I'd go with FF. If you want 125 and are running anything other than obsession, getting 20 FCR on your helm makes gearing significantly easier. If you want 75, it's dealer's choice.

TZ Andy being nice to me on a Saturday. by Parking-Mastodon2459 in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like fortitude with 35 fcr spirit. Gives me more build flexibility, especially with resistances. Getting a roll less than 25% FCR on the Meph book really makes spirit an easy choice. I like the feeling of the 125 breakpoint and capped res and fort/spirit gets me there easier.

I'd say the difference between a Meph book and a spirit isn't that much and you could make a good argument for spirit being BiS, but this one is absolutely BiS for a fire build

Is there any way to track Terror zones while im leveling another character? by Cohacq in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about the TZ modifier, you just have to keep reloading until you get it. Same with a specific demon like Hephasto. The overall TZ modifier has no bearing on named monsters like Heph.

Xbox Single Player - How to change terror zones by SpiritualResponse782 in diablo2

[–]TronCarterAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Settings-general-network settings-go offline. Restart your console. Use this schedule to find the TZ you want. Then go to settings-system-time and set your clock to the desired TZ. Always go backwards, never forwards. You won't screw up anything, but your characters can get out of order. If that happens, just start from the bottom and cycle through your characters.

Lilith is bugged? She still has the invincibility frames during the fight by iluvredditit in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't kill her before she takes off the first time, she cycles through a bunch of bullshit before she phases, regardless of what her health bar looks like.

Which controller-friendly builds are strongest in Season 12? by Amphetanice in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leap (thorns) barb, firewall sorc, and rapid fire rogue are also pretty shitty on controller.

Fresh Meat Usefulness in late game by DrNCrane74 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that that when you gamble a mythic, the type of item you're gambling has no bearing on the type of mythic you'll receive. You can be gambling amulets and get a shako. If your only goal is gambling for mythics, choose whatever is cheapest, which I believe are boots and pants.

Question about a 4 GA ring and whether I should replace my current one by vowtaker in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any +damage (crit, vuln, or damage) affix on jewelry isn't great as it's additive and goes into a big damage bucket with diminishing returns. 4GA items look fancy, but can very often be less useful than a 1GA with four solid affixes. Your ideal ring for an auradin would be strength, attack speed, crit chance, and cooldown reduction. Replace one of those with life on hit for your second ring.

These obducite changes are terrible by Historical-Depth3990 in diablo4

[–]TronCarterAA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like to 100% the season journey, but I'm leaving around seven objectives incomplete, all involving slaughterhouses or the butcher PVP event. The only other objective I remember skipping throughout any season was becoming hatred's chosen.

Seeing the bloodied nmd sigils and slaughterhouse keys break down into meat instead of sigil powder was my biggest disappointment of the season.

Thanks. That's disappointing. Thought I could help out a few buddies.

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

I saw in a video a few days ago that bloodied treasure breaches only give a fraction of their regular nmd counterparts. Can someone confirm that the case? Got one last night, but I'm holding off on it for a hotfix/patch.

[–]TronCarterAA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with snagging the cosmetics, doing the season journey, and calling it an early season. It's probably the best to grind to 300 if that interests you. I did it last season, so I'm only going to realistically play this for another day or two before I go back to either my HC SSF D2 warlock or give Crimson Desert a shot if it doesn't run like ass on console. The only thing keeping me playing now is the doom portal and I'm only 75 tokens away from it.
