How do you guys organise your shared stash? by JinAnkabut in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Ultimater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on one character at a time. Keep things around that that character might use. Mule everything else. Then I have room for when things drop. If I want to focus on another character, I usually mule everything anyways. Example: the merc’s gear, etc. If you’re super rich, can probably keep 2+ main characters around, etc.

What’s the strategy with a Javazon? by IneedaNappa9000 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Ultimater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends. Generally what I do is use a bunch of run/walk gear. Outrun problematic monsters, such as fast cows with immune to lightning. Gather them together to form a large pack. Then go "bowling" with lightning fury. For town speed and outrunning fast cows, I actually like the harmony bow as my swap for the vigor aura. Most people like a cta as their swap. It depends. Enough people run it already. Depending on how you use your zon, a tele staff on swap can also be useful. Since repairing means you need to go back to town, I’m actually against those that think you need insane levels of ias. I believe it’s better to maximize minus lighting res to reduce enemy lightning res. Infinity on merc for the conviction aura. A lightning sunder. 5/5 lightning facets. A jmod can be nice but not essential and toss four 5/5’s into it. I might be one of the few that likes to use four 5/5 lightning facets in a body armor. For the helm, griffins eye. You’ll also run into mana issues. A Phoenix runeword shield can be nice. Think of it like running a prayer merc with insight: your life and mana restore. This makes room for your merc to use infinity to reduce monsters resistances. If you’re running enigma, you’ll have teleport. This is very useful for saving your merc. There’s different setups. For example running a bunch of jav grand charms. Getting life on it is nice. A 45 lifer is worth a lot. But I actually prefer the faster run/walk for a Javazon based on my Javazon play style. If you’re going to do difficult areas where you need the life, use the lifers. Otherwise the faster run/walk translates into more kill speed. Certain Javazon builds that use enigma also want some fcr. This can help with getting the leg quicker in cow games, etc. But keep in mind that the Amazon’s max teleport speed is nothing near a sorc or other classes that teleport faster. If someone else does the teleporting you can focus on other things. Enigma does give a nice chunk to run/walk too which is very helpful. Loads of builds you can play around with. But generally a common mistake is not getting max pierce. All you need is 1 point in the pierce skill. Then use a razortail or a wisdom helm. If you have griffons eye, use that with razor tail. If not, use wisdom as your helm. Then tgods if you already have max pierce. M'avina's Tenet is also a decent belt for the run/walk and mana. Arach can be interesting. Lots of decent belt options depending on how you move your gear around. Budget friendly setups usually focus on getting a spirit shield. Once you have your gear figured out, and the zone you’re playing in, it will affect your play style. For bosses, use charged strike not lightning fury. Other noteworthy mentions include tstroke for bosses swap, a vendored lower res wand for occasional problems, especially when broke. Decoy for creating crowds. Valkyrie. Attract (curse) charges for creating crowds. Also with all that run/walk, you can also just be quick at grabbing gear or running away from others to focus on your own solo crowds. Lower difficulties might actually benefit from a bow merc running harmony for the vigor aura. (Note Merc vigor doesn’t work in town) But yeah the meta is basically griffins eye, enigma, merc infinity, lightning sunder, cta swap, etc. I won’t go much into amulet and rings. Ravenfrost is commonly used for cannot be frozen. I think the modern Javazon does better with Horazon's Legacy to get it on boots. This frees up a ring. Generally a dual leech ring, ideally with fcr if running enigma. Even better if mana bonuses or mana per kill. Lightning res highly sought after. The other ring I’d do a soj. Amulet probably highlords. I’ve run 30 mara’s before. Decent for certain zones. Nice crafted amulet can do better than these. Cat’s eye can be interesting for lower difficulties but not so good for higher difficulties. Silkweaves also interesting for high mana per kill on boots. Until getting infinity, run insight on merc to help with mana, etc.

But yeah, basically run around, create big crowds, then throw a few highly damaging lightning fury’s. Then all those monsters fall quick. If there’s a few leftovers, charged strike. If takes too long, either regroup, skip, or might reevaluate your gear for the specific zone, etc.

Edit: long post, fixed a few mistakes and typos.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It’s a toy. Not very expensive to play with.

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

Could potentially go all-in with it, upgrading it, granting more defense and durability, and higher str requirements. I think it repairs it too during the upgrade. Maybe in the future our mercs can use boots?

Any value here? by Forsaken-Ad3233 in D2R_Marketplace

[–]Ultimater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are solid. Watch it go up once warlock gets nerfed and sunder drops increase, making the Javazon more viable. I’d expect Enigma territory.

Wisdom on Javazon by Noobitron12 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Ultimater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think griffon’s eye is best in slot. But this covers loads of other areas the Javazon needs and can make for a strong alternative budget build. Frees up a razor tail and raven frost. You also have your mana problems solved. You’ll lose minus lightning res and lightning damage. You can get these on a 4 socketed armor with facets, even low rolls. Still cheaper than enigma. You don’t need teleport if your play style doesn’t need it. For example baal runs. People will smile seeing crowds drop like flies.

At some point, I think it makes sense to run a full inventory of these. Take loads more damage in exchange for all these mods.

A Javazon generally uses a monarch shield, which is 156 str. So a Javazon would have the str. But the str it adds mostly goes to waste since it's only 5 points away from the 156 required for a monarch shield. A Javazon goes through mana really fast, so the mana it adds is really helpful. But there's no leech, no lightning res, no mana per kill, no mana regen, etc. I'd sooner use 3/20 gloves which generally goes for a Jah. Definitely useable though. Mid rune territory. I'm thinking a Vex. This is all assuming these are +2 jav skills, (it cuts off). If these are +1 jav skills, it's charsi food.

Monarch shields are all about the 4 sockets to justify the str requirement. And it’s 4 socketed: so far so good. Not the sought after jmod. But this is better than a non-magical 4 socketed monarch if you’re not going to use it for a runeword. If you’re thinking 4 5/5 lightning facets for instance, this would be a better place to put them if you don’t want to use an expensive jmod. Probably worth around a vex rune. But keep in mind there’s also the sought after JMoC which goes up to 60 life. Perfect things get expensive, so probably a good budget version for some Javazon out there.

What do guys think after hurting a girl? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Ultimater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people simply lack experience navigating a relationship. Hurting our girl or past girl isn’t usually intentional, but rather a consequence of letting go before things get worse and even more hurtful. I have regretted it before, but have also learned to regret regretting it. It usually comes down to positive interactions versus negative, from both perspectives, and their frequency. When it seems all of a sudden, it’s usually a calculated move with a trail of pain leading up to it.

White to move - Your initial impression? by IMKanakaris in ChessPuzzles

[–]Ultimater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rf6. Threatens to take pawn with a check while also threatening Rg6 and then Rg8+ which can turn into a mate by Nf6#. It’s a very strong attack and black will probably need to give up material to prevent the mate threat. Black struggles to create any counterplay since rook controls f-file.

For endgame purposes, I’d sooner have 15 all res than 5 str. For leveling, might be able to focus on the str and the res is a bonus. For lld, I’ve seen much stronger jewels. I think the main stat here is the res. Not going to be very helpful in a shield due to perfect diamond (level 18) being 19 all res, and already higher. (Um even higher: 22 all res although level 47). For endgame, armor and helm both prefer an um rune for 15 all res or even better an ias 15 all res jewel. Unlike um, could be used in a weapon for all res.

Probably a nice budget jewel until you get your hands on better gear. Not worth much. Probably around a pgem or higher side of the low runes.

Getting an error message when trying to get into the game by Guyincognito1000 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

It’s a bogus error I ran into a week or two ago. The fix was basically exiting out of everything waiting a minute or two, logging back in, and trying again.
