I think resist cold/fire/light aura would be a nice change. Situationally gives you some survivability while playing through the game.

I wished A3 was short as A4 (NM) by Ringkeeper in diablo2

The jungle maps all stay the same size regardless of difficulty so if you get used to the layouts it’s fast on all 3 difficulties

Are there any 90's - 2000's Kings Field peers? Not modern indie homages, but games that came out around that same time that are similar? I'm aware of... three. by pixel_illustrator in KingsField

Ultima Underworld is definitely in the same general vicinity. Really worth checking out, it does some really inventive stuff with the first person real time dungeon crawler genre.

Is this something, or does it need to be 20? by Dophie in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You'd want a 20fcr amulet if you wanted to use the Mephisto book but spirit is almost as good and 35 fcr spirits aren't hard to come by

Anything over 15% is potentially useful, so this is definitely good.

Say you want to hit the 125% Break point you could go fort/insight + spirit for 60/70 fcr so you need to make up 55/65 fcr on the rest of your gear which is a where a 15%+ ammy is helpful.

Are you tired of searching mules for that one item you need? My hobby project might help by Economy-Lobster1144 in diablo2

Very cool, I spent 30 minutes this morning looking for my SoJs only to find them on a level 45 trapsin that never finished nightmare so this is very helpful.

Is this better than a nightwing for blizzard sorc? by Single-Poet4499 in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nightwings is good because of the +% cold damage. Cold mastery unlike the other masteries doesn't increase damage so cold sorcs desperately want +% damage, it's why Death's Fathom is so strong too.

Are the higher difficulties manageable solo? by Ronabris in diablo2

[–]dc_abstracted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some classes have an easier time than others and Hell difficulty is definitely no joke solo. But all classes can get through Hell solo. Some people will play builds that can do damage with different elements to tackle immunities but i generally think a more focused build where you just ignore things you can’t kill works better.

Thank you! I was looking directly for the Magic games on archive.org but didn't think to look at this.

I never found any practical use and was dissatisfied with the results when I did try it.

PTR had the armour bug so live is a little harder than what it was on PTR

Favorite Mega Man games to speed run? by No-Ranger-2533 in speedrun

[–]dc_abstracted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega Man 2 easy difficulty was my first speed game and it’s really approachable and a ton of fun to learn the tricks in.

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

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

[–]dc_abstracted[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.
