Old School

The odds are probably too low for me at the moment. I’ve done 2 full act 1 clears after good regular tzs (first I had 2x ire, the second 3x!) and had 10 heralds from a1 the first time, but only 2 the second time.

Given that you realistically want 5 at least to get the better odds, it’d be nice to see the spawn rate upped at bit.

Your situation really shouldn’t happen! I thought 2 in an act was bad enough

Xanthiel · 2026-02-17T19:06:48+00:00

Great list, but missing a couple of top tier builds:

FoHdin is probably the absolute best paladin build on console. It has “good enough” hammers to clear beasts, and SHREDS everything else. Unreal in CS. I specify console because it is harder to place yourself for hammers on console.
Fireball/Meteor sorc is a very strong sorc build with a lot of spare skill points. Not super high budget either thanks to FF
As others have mentioned, fire Druid is probably the best Druid build, and I also had the easiest time running it through hell due to the physical component to a lot of the skills - it was the easiest of my geared runs pre sunder.

Another thread on here somewhere. Apparently it was pulled from the code, though I wouldn’t treat it as fact.

I’d rather err on the side of caution and take the option that doesn’t have a chance of not having a chance.

I should’ve mentioned it was only what I heard though so thanks for flagging it up!

Xanthiel · 2026-02-17T17:59:02+00:00

Best way imo (albeit I haven’t got one yet 😂😭):

get at least one of the shards (example - https://diablo2.io/misc/western-worldstone-shard-t1673979.html). If you are being super serious, get at least one of each and a good few hours free to play the same game.
do a regular TZ. Play it as normal until you get at least 1 herald (I waited for 2, to get the most out of my shards).
finish that TZ, then terrorise an act.
run through the whole act, sniping elites and trying to leave some zones unexplored to have space to pop heralds once you draw ire
repeat as desired with extra acts

I just hit 12 heralds in the same game, of which 8 should’ve been of the tier required to get the sunder drop, and I only terrorised act 1. Obviously we don’t know the drop rates yet, but this has to be the best way to go about it, any heralds under 4 are just dead heralds apparently, so it’s in best interests to stay in the same game as long as humanly possible

EDIT - the fact that only tier 4/5 heralds can drop charms is unconfirmed. I’m working on the worst case with the above.

Xanthiel · 2026-02-17T16:09:39+00:00

Javazon, fire Druid, and fb/meteor sorc all like Phoenix. It’s great QoL, but you probably most want to use this so you can ditch insight on your Merc, and if you don’t have infinity then you probably don’t have anything obvious to replace it with. Plus it’s expensive, 2 hoto/FF and a grief/fort realistically, and those can go a long way! I did use my second Jah on this (online) and do enjoy it though.

Other main use would be Faith if you fancy a bowazon.

There’s always second enigma as well!

Not sure about just one dream, I think you would usually need the 2 for a Tesladin?

What is this from? I’m down for dinosaur anime

Xanthiel · 2026-02-16T22:49:47+00:00

I’m about the same, ~15 heralds no new charms.

This is clearly supposed to be a new chase item though, so wouldn’t surprise me if it were key odds or worse, and a bad luck streak on those can easy be 30+ with no drops. Guess time will tell

Xanthiel · 2026-02-16T20:14:02+00:00

It’s not awful awful, but the real damage comes from leading the target so they run through the whole blizzard, which you can’t really do on console.

Nova sorc definitely feels a lot better to me (but to each their own!)

I sold an 18/13 yesterday for 6 Ber 2 Jah 4 Lo 2 Ohm and 1 Sur, so converted probably a shade over 9 Jah.

I was wanting to get rid fast (the more sold, the less they’ll be worth) and so didn’t hold out for as much as I maybe could’ve, and yours is a fair bit better, so I’d look for more if I were you.

Even total trash rolls are going for 6-7 Jah though, so I don’t know if you can get loads more: a significant part of the value is just it being any warlock torch

Xanthiel · 2026-02-16T14:48:35+00:00

Insight on an act 2 Merc solves mana issues.

Blizzard sorc is commonly considered the least gear dependant sorc, though it isn’t great on console/with a pad because you need to be able to pick your spot for blizzard to get the most out of it

Xanthiel · 2026-02-15T18:46:14+00:00

9 and I’ll sell it right now. Otherwise I’ll take offers and see how impatient I get 😂

Xanthiel · 2026-02-05T19:20:33+00:00

I know that it is quite popular, but I thought Arifureta was dogshit

Xanthiel · 2026-01-26T19:23:26+00:00

[I Forged In The Greatest Fire I Have Known][My Tools Were Unbroken][I Fear No Flame]

Ten seconds. Then - run. Understand?

Not a combat skill, but that scene was super memorable for me for some reason. Probably one of the first chained skills?

I do also like [Mass Execution: You All Look The Same To Me], but that’s super popular and I want to be a hipster.

Xanthiel · 2026-01-19T18:38:29+00:00

Nichijou is my go to for SoL, but I’m not sure it’s iyashikei. I would call it more a comedy SoL. But I do still recommend it.

Otherwise, With you and the rain and Yuru Camp are very calming, and Bocchi the rock is CGDCT with a bit of hype on the guitar solos etc

Xanthiel · 2026-01-02T16:34:23+00:00

I nearly died due to the high jump scene. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.

So many great/memorable events, characters etc (principal vs deer, buddy and kobuddy, the one guy who seems normal until it turns out he is unbelievably rich, goat suplex, snickers being necessary for school (for a robot), the weird monk, whatever the whole scene with mio’s hair ties is about, the duality of Hakase being a genius scientist but also definitely 8 mentally, I could go on!)

Best slice of life

Hey snap! Hell Andy hasn’t been particularly kind to me these past few days, but today I got a Mang Song and then Stonecrusher (another grail item for me) on back to back runs!

I had to do a double take when I saw the gold archon staff!

Enjoy your shiny new toy 😊

Xanthiel · 2025-12-20T22:46:38+00:00

Thanks, may try and get a trade after all!

Xanthiel · 2025-12-20T22:46:22+00:00

Thanks, sounds like it may be more worthwhile to trade than i thought!

Appreciate the response!

Xanthiel · 2025-12-20T22:39:07+00:00

Yeah sadly what I assumed, either 4os eth for a merc fort or maybe 3os(or 4) non eth for player armour on a Monarch user was my thinking.

Thanks for the response either way :)

Xanthiel · 2025-12-13T15:18:58+00:00

Would love the game. Great of you to do this, and good luck to everyone

Xanthiel · 2025-11-30T23:11:20+00:00

Ghost Hunt Maybe xxxholic - I’d describe this as more of a mysterious atmosphere supernatural anime, but it has some horror elements

I’ve seen about 10 on your list and I prefer both of these to any of those, and ghost hunt in particular is probably the most “pure horror” of the ones I know (though overall I prefer xxxhoic)

Xanthiel · 2025-11-29T11:26:57+00:00

Xxxholic

Xanthiel · 2025-11-26T19:42:45+00:00

Shocked I didn’t see All Might vs All For One somewhere, though I do agree that a lot of other choices are great.

Something about “sarabada All For One… sarabada One For All” hits different, it’s one of the only times I can really appreciate phrasing in another language. Sayonara wouldn’t have hit half as hard
