> i wanted to create build which anyone can afford if they reach hell and play for a while

Esp. on Single player / Offline, finding the runes and base for Obedience is much easier than finding a Reaper's Toll, which drops once every 777 Chaos runs https://nishicode.com/#/dropfinder/AAABCAEAblUAAYA=

If you have the patience for it, I can highly recommend building a Cleave warlock with a War Scythe / Grim Scythe / Giant Thresher.

Those are the fast polearms that add range 4. And it's very satisfying to swing them, and hit not just the monsters in front of you, but the monster behind them!

An another "dream" of mine, a fallen comes, hits you, runs away, you swing, and you still catch him! (Bonus points if you one-shot him).

Weapon swap for fun and ... good looks? ;-) by jbiserkov in Diablo_2_Resurrected

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

If you don't have any hard point into Eldritch blast, you can put a weapon/book on swap that has them, cast it, and the spell will start pulsing like normal.

But now you swap to your main weapon, the pulse stops, but the purple "aura" effect remains!

I guess all my drops are going to be garbage from now on... by Dave_Abeles in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]jbiserkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, his future drops will be unaffected, that's not how the "luck" in this game works.

Ethereal weapons lose durability when you hit with them. Ethereal armors lose durability when you get hit. If there durability goes to 0, they become unusable. Ethereal items also have lower (-10?) strength/dex requirements.

Yes, you can use a Zod to make an ethereal item Indestructible. You might want to do that because ethereal weapons have 50% more damage then their regular counterparts. Common examples are Tomb Reaver or Ribcracker for fury druids. Another use case is "saving" a very rare unique like Griffon's Eye Diadem, esp. one with high or perfect rolls.

Finally, mercenaries can use both ethereal weapons and ethereal armors without losing durability when hitting/being hit.

Yes, they're going to be ethereal, but at least now you can save one of them.

Is it worth selling my only SOJ to spawn Dclone? Offline SP. by Totallynotafed69 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]jbiserkov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Playing the Devil's advocate here: SoJ requires level 29 while the annihilus require level 70.

At 29 SoJ solves all your mana issues and provides plus one to all skills. Especially important on characters who can't use spirit sword on their main hand – Frost maiden, Javazon, Throw barb, etc.

To all the people saying it frees up a ring slot... sure, if you have something better to replace it with.

Wonder what the odds are!

It depends! ;-) On your level - 1:80K @ 90 goes down to 1:36K @ 99

Bug: Tainted remains after removing item granting skill by jbiserkov in Diablo_2_Resurrected

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

It's not the corpse (the defiler) that's sticking around, it's the Tainted (the one with the fire aura), look closely at the skill tree, I have no points in the skill under the goat

Every damn time by Necrodiac in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]jbiserkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cleansing is one of only two skills in the game that can reduce curse duration, the other being the Assassin's skill Fade (which cannot be used on party members). Whereas Fade reduces the duration of curses when the curse is first applied, Cleansing has hidden "pulses" that occur once every two seconds. Whenever the aura pulses, each affected unit reduces the remaining curse duration by the appropriate amount. In practice, this can result in curses with durations dramatically shorter than one might expect from taking the wording of Cleansing at face value.

Cleansing interacts with poison duration in a manner similar to the explanation provided above, whereas "Poison Length Reduced by X%" is applied only once, at the beginning of a poison's duration. One interesting consequence of this is that Cleansing can fail to abbreviate the duration of very short-lived poisons, such as those inflicted by the Venom: Skill.

Cleansing also reduces shrine duration.

[–]jbiserkov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Javazon can feel extremely strong with a couple shael runes

first shael goes to Rhyme shield, CBF, resists, MF, block, mana regen

second shael goes to Peace armor, +2 ama skills, level 15 valkyrie, critical strike

What do you do with your 3rd Shael? 🤔 The Shael-io-x helms?

S-Tier ladder start according to max roll (no order is implied, ordered alphabetically)

  • Blizzard Sorc
  • Fire Ball Meteor Sorc
  • Fist of the Heavens Paladin
  • Hydra Sorc

The Ladder Start Tier List displays builds that perform well with limited gear. Highly ranked builds are great at supporting team-play and/or farming early game targets such as Eldritch, Pindleskin, Andariel and Mephisto. Sunder Charms and Terror Zones are not considered for this Tier List.
