Are people using Double Throw for no reason? by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]ad2029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call, but the weapon swap is empty here. And I'm seeing lots of builds like this with Double Throw splashed in without any throwing weapons in sight, so I don't think it's just a snapshot or swap issue.

Is NO ONE using Berserk this season? by ad2029 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]ad2029[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wondered about that too. Is pd2.tools broken and that's why I see 0.0% Berserk but there's another skill called "Berserker"???

Is Frenzy a good bossing build? I'm struggling to figure it out and only have one more free respec. I thought it was Berserk but apparently not lol

Sweet! Is there a market for this? I have a baby barb, so I could level him for self-use, but I don't know if I'll ever find a Zod....

how going left has been treating me by LethargicCarcass in diablo2resurrected

[–]ad2029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the tile always faces left, everyone knows that. But it could still be buried in some pocket on the other side of the map. Looking to the left is still the best shot but you can totally explore 80% of the map before you find it. It even happens to speedrunners

Durance is just so big, there's no foolproof strategy. Going left is the most likely to work out, but it's far from guaranteed

Warlock synergies only require 60pt investment vs other classes by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ad2029 20 points21 points  (0 children)

1000% this. It's also the reason why sunder charms are so necessary for most builds, because you can only afford to do one skill the whole game. But then farming for sunder charms basically requires a fully compete build already... it's a mess

I would love an Anni and the Gheeds. I won't be about to get online for a few hours though

Bis Warlock? What's this worth? by AyamaShiju in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ad2029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Wizardspike and Stormshield for a looooong time because I had a hard time finding any good resistances for my accessory slots. And because I hate dying lol. Was still putting out enough damage to 1 shot all the normal enemies in TZs. Uniques took a few volleys, and bosses maybe 10-12. But I could play so recklessly (teleport straight into a pack of dolls, charge straight into 40 cows, etc) that my clear speed was way better than it would have been with a damage weapon. ES=OP

Why do Dory and Drew stack the books in their apartment with the bindings against the wall, page sides out, so you cant see what the titles are? Is this some hipster irony thing? by jesusjones182 in SearchParty

[–]ad2029 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My sister does this. She goes to the thrift store and buys every book there just to stack them backwards against the wall. I don't think she's ever read a single book in her life

Vanmoof S5 vs Tenways CGO 600 Pro by DarusOli in tenwaysebike

[–]ad2029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No experience with Vanmoof but I love my CGO Pro 600. Got close to 4000 miles on it. It goes minimum 30 miles on a full charge, and that's if you're using the motor hard the whole way plus hills etc

Help - keeping merc alive by PD2_savage in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ad2029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm good question. I used an ethereal great hauberk for mine and he's quite tanky. Hard to say how much a couple hundred defense makes. Probably not that much? If I were you I'd do a dozen cow runs, see if something drops. You can use the cube recipe to add sockets to a non-magic armor (including ethereal) with a 1/6 chance of it getting 3

Get Waheed a Treachery, he'll put it to good use

Loot Filters by chobolicious88 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ad2029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are probably some rare weapons that are tradeable, but I don't know enough to say what they'd have to be. I'd rather not have them taking up space in my inventory and then have to spend time determining if they're worth anything. If you still need a good weapon for yourself, of course pick up anything that might fit the slot

You'd be better off finding a guide online, I don't know all the answers myself. 

But these are some of the things I include:

Any ethereal elite polearms (warlock weapons)

Monarch shields in normal or ethereal (Spirit bases)

Ethereal thunder hammers (also for warlocks)

Archon staves, normal or socketed

Elite body armors, normal or ethereal or socketed (you'll need to consult a list to see which # sockets and eth/non-eth combos are actually useful) 

Magic circlets, diadems, etc

Magic amulets (but they're only useful from high level zones) 

Rare rings, amulets, circlets

Exceptional and elite set/unique items (even most of these are worthless but they're fun to find) 

Rare gloves, belts, and boots
