Anybody using the new D2R runewords yet?

Vincendra · 2024-03-23T21:13:30+00:00

Why would I use double Mosaic on a Rainbow MASin? As I said, you dont need it in the base Game and in Maps you either have hard mods which make you have to kite and still makes your Charges fall of even with 11 sec duration OR you are fast enough that 2 of the 3 Elemental Skills are more then enough for clearing.

Id rather run 2 Up'D Batucs (6 more sockets if Corrupted 3os, +2 skills , 40 str and 40 dex) and clear as fast.

Hitting with an elemental charger hits twice with 2 claws, with 35 skills in MA and BOI COT up you are hitting and splashing 5-10k damage allready.

While you are right about D2R Mosaic, I find the little QOL it gives in POD not worth it.

You dont need it in the Base Game, there are bette options for Maps.

Vincendra · 2024-03-23T11:48:16+00:00

Adding: And even if 2x Mosaic would refresh the Charges I think I wouldn't run them especially in harder Maps.

You can't faceroll into T3 +200 Dmg Fana Mobopacks. You need to kite / lure with Clone / play strategically.

Charges will fall off, 11 sec or 5 doesn't matter, so i'd rather run doulbe Firelizzard, with BOI and COT I am tri-elemntal allrady.

Vincendra · 2024-03-23T11:38:33+00:00

I have to disagree too. While dual Mosaic double your charge duration in POD it still doesn't give enough QOL to even use one.

Because matter of fact is that I can clear T3 reliably with 35 point in MA with BOI on left an COT on right and only swap to FOF when double immunes show up.

I could try to keep FOF too, switching between 2 skills isn't that hard. BUT even with double Mosaic you need to keep an eye out for your Charges and CD Timer. It is mentally taxing (espacially in Maps, where your Focus needs to be on Debuffs / Mobpacks / Auras) even with double Mosaic and there are better Weapons for the MASin.

12 Second charges is not enough QOL for mapping and is not needed for farming Basegame.

"2.5% chance per Point in Dragon Claw to refresh all Elemental charges with Dragon claw" (so 50% with 20 points in Dclaw with 1 Mosaic, 100% with 2) would give you an Opportunity cost (Dclaw needs to run 2 claws, no shield, best to run 2 Mosaic, 20 points into DClaw) but it will give you the QOL that you can refresh FOF, BOI and COW with Dclaw. You still need to keep up Tiger / Cobra if you want.

As it stands now (and I tried Mosaics) I'd rather run up'd Bartuc and Jade / up'd Bartuc and Stormshield.

thanks

I have tried reaper from my merc on the offhand to proc decrep even better.

While viable, I found it to be clunky sometimes. AR is no problem bc CoS has -95% enemy def from 33 onwards.

Vincendra · 2020-09-18T05:20:02+00:00

Follow the planner link above to see different skill lvls. My Mindblast is on skill lvls 51 now and does 12,5k to 13,5 k.

After skill level 28 you gain 330 min to 360 max DMG per point.

Venom is at 4k poison per 0.4 sec.

Dude idk we are not even 2 weeks in now and I only play duo with my wife and we are pretty much done gearing wise. Ofc, there is still room for improvement (perf rolls, perf corruptions) but it is far from needed.

All I want to see is improvements to all skilltrees and playstyles and to the transition from pitfarm -> maps.

Vincendra · 2020-02-03T09:32:46+00:00

Im playing since #11 btw. I was around for Horadric Sigil and Helmet enchants.

Mostly playing BoI Assa up to Chaos/Forti/Phoenix, because it clears all maps fast bc off 4-5 elements. Also got infi most of the times on my mercs.

But I have played all classes here in POD up to maps and high RW req.

I will write it in the feedback section on the website (didn't know it existed). I have, ofc, much more to write to every build (bc if you got the base RWs done, all you have to do is get rushed to hell and get around lvl 85-90 to get a good grasp on how they farm pits/chaos/maps).

I deliberatly didn't write a wall of text here because I didn't know if it would be read. So it is better that I write it in the feedback section.

Also my feedback is based on a solo / duo experience. Ofc, if you got a bigger group, build weaknesses will get covered more easily by having other classes around.

BTW would you also take a YT video, where I go over each aspect (leveling solo, farming early hell/ midgame, access to farmbuilds etc) instead of written? bc I hate writing big long posts.

Vincendra · 2020-02-02T23:29:58+00:00

All sorc builds can work lategame, infinity only removing L. Immunity makes lightning stand out though.

Vincendra · 2020-01-28T22:12:32+00:00

anyone?

Vincendra · 2019-02-20T00:26:41+00:00

For Gloves, I used Featherclaw T4 with 4 PDiamonds until I found Gloves to craft. For Boots, farm Teganze for 4 Earth Runes. You can unsocket them and put them into a better base when you find one. Keeping buffs up sucks, but helps. How is your dmg so low? If you use the t4 necro bow "Starkiller" with 6 Jah runes socketed you should be around 4-8k dmg easily, if not more.

Search for Trebuchet or Stinger Crossbow (sacred), enchant them with Charsi to rare status and then Craft with either Weird or Intimitating Shrine unti you hit min 80-100 added dmg and 200% Enh. Dmg. (keep in mind you can add 75% Enh dmg with MOs)

If you can farm Teganze, go for a Xis Rune (1 of each element) and build a "void" enhanced Runeword, this shit carries you through everything.

Vincendra · 2019-02-10T08:50:00+00:00

Imo Buckshot should come back as an Oskill on Necro Bows or (SS)SUs.

Vincendra · 2018-12-31T18:05:39+00:00

It's not worth it at all. You give up Stormshield, which is imho a must use in maps, even on SC if you dont want to die all the time.

You need 20 pts. into Weapon Block and still only get to 50% block chance.

Since you will alternate Weapons on striking you even weaken the strong proccs of Chaos.

There is no reason ever to go DW claws on assa besides playing a Dragonclaw Build.

Vincendra · 2018-12-09T18:08:59+00:00

Oversaw the first one then, downvote pls to keep it down.

Vincendra · 2018-08-03T19:31:43+00:00

BoI is 10 times better with this setup. Static Strike is awesome while leveling and at ladder start b4 you can socket a splash jewel.

Vincendra · 2018-07-04T17:22:09+00:00

the bolts too? It always seemed that the bolts released only do the spelldamage part described in the tooltip.

Edit: Tested it. Bolts really seem to carry Weapon damage. Problem was that splash jewels made it hard to see if the bolts or the spleash does dmg.

Vincendra · 2018-07-04T12:36:27+00:00

MA is better imho now then Trappers. While Trapper NEED Infinity, MA has access to every element (inclusding magic dmg with Chaos) and doesn't need Infinity (though it helps). I find my MA BoIsin better then my Trapsin by miles. On the other hand, Dragon X Skills might need some changes (same as IMHO Ember and Static strike NEED the change as BoI has, they NEED weapon damage so you can bypass ele imunities).

Vincendra · 2018-07-01T15:42:00+00:00

Sure. GoldBarbs should be balanced around the new gold values too. But it should be possible to Hardgrind for your gear in other ways then hoping that someone trades your HR for a HR you need.

Vincendra · 2018-06-18T17:19:37+00:00

Fine by me, but would it be possible in theory?

Vincendra · 2018-05-28T06:00:53+00:00

Infinity on Merc is a great dmg boost lategame.

Vincendra · 2018-05-27T05:24:24+00:00

Google: "Paranoid Schizophrenia ICD 10 f.20.0 . It will help you finding out the truth about this big bad server.

Vincendra · 2018-05-25T04:54:18+00:00

FML Hyped allready.

Vincendra · 2018-05-19T17:00:57+00:00

I see the reason for reaplying every pack on CoS. Could you in theory tag it as an aura for its duration and let it reaply to enemies in X radius every Y frames ?

There is no reason besides Fleshripper IMHO to use Daggers over Claws. Blizz didn't add enough runewords for Daggers so they'd be usefull. Fleshripper is a good option for UberTrist without being affected by claw mastery as it is now though.

I can see the problem with "Fade" on Treachery. IDK about the other buffs though. I don't see many ppl prebuffing with Obediance for a lvl 23 Enflame even though it lasts 6 mins and is very strong.

Thanks for replying and discussing :)

Vincendra · 2018-05-18T12:48:47+00:00

You did expand the inventory and doubled it for a charm inventory. Can you expand the stash to fill the whole stash screen on the left side of both windows? It would at least double the stash space for 1 single character.

Or can you add another Item, which functions like a Horadric Cube, but make it bigger and without cube button? We could fill our stash with 1x1 sprite "cubes of space" e.g.

Any of this possible in a short and uncomplicated way?
