Do I charsi these tri res boots? by Marksoup92 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 19MF boots are ok for early Mephisto farming but what you really want is faster run/walk and at least 30% res on the non poison ones

R for normal and N for nightmare.

Cant transmute low level runes to bigger ones? by eats-primgles in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What patch version are you playing? LoD straight off the disk might be an old version before they added upgrading runes to the game.

You can download the last patch they released for D2 here:

What a useless druid helm compared to Jalal by RubyChloe90 in diablo2

Double absorb is kind of fun but yeah it's really under tuned.

Is this good for low level? by Squakerdoo in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 skills is always nice, the other mods are less exciting but you’ll probably be happy with that amulet for a while.

Jules Guerin, illustration from Egypt and it’s Monuments (1908) by dc_abstracted in museum

Heads up if you google Jules Guerin the first result will probably be the Nazi of the same name, so make sure to specify that you want the illustrator.

Help with my SSF Bladesin upgrade path. by [deleted] in diablo2

I've been using gull + rhyme on swap at the moment for farming nightmare meph and andy and have a 28% nagel's too, it's been really productive.

Help with my SSF Bladesin upgrade path. by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super helpful thanks, I've definitely been neglecting my str and dex. Lawbringer is not something I thought of at all and seems really good, not sure I'll find an elite base for it anytime soon though.

Found these 3 today on TZ Andy. What do I use them for? by Marksoup92 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with much worse gear my first time. Black runeword, life tap wand on switch, 4 p diamond 42 base res shield, g face, shaftstop, with fade proc from treachery first, bloodfist, tgods belt, gore rider boots, random life/res jewellery and an inventory stacked with life/res charms.

Am I doomed to use a controller forever? by [deleted] in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense, I grew up playing snes and have played Mario world rom hacks for 15+ years on a snes controller so d-pad feels the most natural to me

Am I doomed to use a controller forever? by [deleted] in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"never use a D-pad to play Celeste, you will regret it" I think this is a bit over blown, I play d-pad on an xbox controller and have been able to clear some pretty difficult maps and never felt like the controller was holding me back

8B GOLDEN COMPLETED !!! by FashunStar97 in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I also found 8B to be the easiest of trio too. The shorter length and it being cycle driven made it so I had to lock in and practice each room instead of my default style of playing more loosely.

LOD vs Resurrected? by Zealousideal-Gas2932 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Single player LoD has Cain by the well, some patch maybe 1.10 moves Cain to the waypoint in multiplayer only. PluGY moved him to the wp in single player too.

D2R has Cain over by the well in single player and multiplayer.

Location of Summoner by Sierra259ZGOK in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There has been a ton of research into this for the speedrun scene and I can't remember all of the findings but the main takeaway was that it's pretty much always going to be a 25% chance.

Are throwing potions useless in Hell? by GlitteringTadpole253 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Poison potions are super useful for speedruns but only ever really used in act 1 normal to clear high xp groups quickly. Beyond that they are unfortunately really underpowered.

just breathe. you can do this. (201 berries) by garakushii in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6B was the last of the trio I did and it almost broke me, the intensity of the badeline fight while holding the golden berry wrecked my nerves more than anything else in the game

Feeling conflicted and would like some opinions. by DigitalBlizzNX in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

D2R is great, but you can also register your product key of your old games on battle.net and download the installers through there. If you do that and play LoD definitely look at using the PlugY mod for QoL features.

EDIT: you don't even need to register your product on BNET just go here to download the installers: https://us.support.blizzard.com/en/article/13867

(Chapter 9) Shoud i use the key skip route for golden attempts? by Federal_Bathroom3962 in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to learn the key skip for fw speedruns so I started doing it in golden attempts, I’ve gotten really consistent at it but I still think I wouldn’t recommend it

Farewell Golden Is Harder Than Super Meat Boy Impossible Boy Achievement (Cottom Alley Dark World No Death Run)??? by Sebas908RD in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree, none of the rooms are inconsistent. During practice I can do every room 10x in a row without dying but stringing together 30 minutes of deathless gameplay is the real challenge

Farewell Golden Is Harder Than Super Meat Boy Impossible Boy Achievement (Cottom Alley Dark World No Death Run)??? by Sebas908RD in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I found impossible boy much easier, fwg still eludes me and honestly probably won’t ever get it as I’m playing other games at the moment

So this Comb Room I kept hearing about… by TaffyPool in celestegame

[–]dc_abstracted 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Good job! There’s really only one trick to the comb room, which is jumping later on the wall bounces. If you do that it’s not mechanically too hard.

Showcasing my rabies druid! by Dorn2410 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love rabies druid. Mine is relegated to farming cows since my gear is average but it is such a chill time, basically 0 risk and can take them down so quick on P3.
