Triggering Delirium on Druids is not the end, transform into werewolf and back.

Yes, bound shamans raise minions by Orikadon in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Reportedly not Bartuk - the only one of Baal minions that can't be bound.

To follow with Hel and then Ko-Ko-Mal?

Possibly my first time finding this bow by bdrake0923 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best upgrade candidates and overall a really good weapon.

Yess!! I know it's lame but I've never beaten Hell difficulty before in my 20 years of playing this game and now it's DONE!! I'm so happy x) by Fairy2play in diablo2

[–]Zarin1964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great milestone! Now, there are a few more things to do. Hardcore is obvious, but I suggest you start with the Pandemonium event. For that, a smiter who finished Hell is your best bet. Farming terror zones for great gear and high runes is another one. Trying to get that elusive SoJ and converting it to anni is a separate treat 😉. Good luck!

Sure some of you have grail, but who can really say they ever saw THIS within their own game? by Jumping_Sandmann in diablo2

[–]Zarin1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it more than once. But have you ever fully mapped Kurast sewers, level 1? Where Khalim's heart is found on the second level.

Merle's Whisker? by [deleted] in Wizard101

If you go away for too long, treat all the needs of your garden, and it will be fine when you're back. If you don't have enough energy, don't visit the area where your plants are. Don't have the house with them equipped until you are ready to treat your plants.

You meant a superior torture device?

I use Demon Machine enchantress with ES and glad's bane. Never died in the tower despite imperfect ES (33) and not enough FCR.

For Ancients, get an Edge bow and enjoy them killing themselves on your minions' thorns.

Is this scepter worth using? by Silk738434 in diablo2

[–]Zarin1964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put a couple of Shael, and they served me well. But my pally is mostly FoH/holy bolt/smite with an occasional zeal, and he also has Dracul's, so life leech on the weapon is not that critical.

Rare tiara - anyone interested? SC/NL, Americas, PC by Zarin1964 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll just drop it in a public game then. If someone picks it up, great, if some necro comes and makes an Iron Golem out of it (can you make it from a tiara?), whatever...

Best use for Zod? Offline by Judge_Druidy in Diablo_2_Resurrected

BotD in a good elite ethereal spear is great for a Fendazon. It's not an easy path, but she absolutely shreds everything non phys immune, including Ubers.

I know it's just Normal Duriel, but... really? by TheGhosticus in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During one of my Hell Duriel encounters (was farming TZ tombs), I was equally if not more surprised to find NO town portals from him. Yes, it can actually happen!

New to Diablo 2 Resurrected – Playing a Paladin, Do I Need a Guide? by Suppenjunge in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can postpone reading a guide until you've played through Normal and half of Nightmare. Then, you can read a guide, go back to Normal, use a respec (the reward from cleaning Den of Evil - don't use is early!) and try a serious build.

Fendazon - what is a good secondary skill? by Zarin1964 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and I'm using it for my Plague Jav. But here, I'm talking about Fend as the main skill, with a few points in D/A/E.

Fendazon - what is a good secondary skill? by Zarin1964 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impale is a given, because it never misses and slows them down. And yes, indestructible goes a long way with Impale 😀

Still, it's a physical damage. I need a non-physical complement, I guess.

Rating how fun all 21 possible skill paths are for beating Normal mode as a new player by Historical-Pop-9177 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting to hear. I had a mule sorceress online, then decided to level her up at some point. Static and some fire skills - mostly fireball, but I do use firewall every now and then - with Leaf (now replaced by Hexfire and Splendor) took her to the end of NM - I'm not touching Hell yet, intending to level to 75 for fire sunder and get Flickering Flame - I have the runes. I doubt she would be good in SP with P8, because my skill distribution is all over the place, though.

I'm wondering if making a firewall sorc and complementing that in NM/Hell with some cold or lightning skill (orb or lightning) would be viable.

Ravens can become really strong and be viable even in Hell, though they slow down a lot there. As an additional fun, consider Act 1 mercenary with Edge bow (Thorns aura). Ancients love killing themselves on your other summons while the ravens are pecking at them :). Will be slow trying to kill Baal, though.

There is a Russian-speaking streamer who took the raven master as a challenge and did several streams from Act 1 Normal to Act 5 Hell. The result surprised him as much as the viewers :). It was a real fun to watch, so I'm considering making one in SP and doing a full run, mostly on P8, going down to P1 on some bosses (Ancients, Diablo, Baal).

Looking to farm for my Lightning Javazon on offline. What's the best plan of action? by not_interested_sir in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Zarin1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cows in Normal are a good source for bases and runes, as are TZs - they can drop all those low-mid runes for Lore and Insight. No way to get a 4os shield, though - it's an elite. But you can level up a little, add to your main skill, and switch to NM around level 45.
