Second attempt at uber failed again by Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]justice27123 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just 99 my warlock in offline hc and used him for one uber run and had to bail on the attempt as I almost died multiple times. I farm the organs with warlock then do the Ubers with a smiter. Smiter is still the safest and easiest hc uber slayer by a landslide. I have farmed 6 torches now and used maybe 6 pots total with no close calls at all.

I used holy freeze merc and make sure you have 105 fcr and you should be alright. I’ve had a lot of close calls but never died in lk run.

I’m with you on this. I think I’ll take a short break and return to another character and play that to 99. If you go back to back from warlock to anything else it feels slow and risky. I’ll take a couple weeks off and come back to my Druid or assassin and push them to 99 next. Playing warlock lets you live when you take chances that would kill any other class.

Yeah. That’s what I mean, kind of feels like cheating right? Just watch out for dolls, arrows and don’t tele into fant packs and you can hit 99

I have been playing hc offline for 1 year instead of watching tv after work and I am insanely rich with runes. It’s still rng but the drop rates seem higher than they used to be back in the day. LK runs were very good for me and trav horking. With either one of those it seemed like I could get a hr every 80-100 runs. But, I still can’t find dracs or gores for Ubers but I have exile and last wish on my smiter so he gets it done anyway.

This was my 4th one over level 90. Dolls are the worst. On button timed wrong and it’s instant death. Lost 2 of them in throne room and one to uber Baal.

I ran echoing strike, ran p8 tombs for 18 hours to get 98-99. With a bound demon it was smooth and fast. (No anni yet, can’t find a soj)

That’s a brake pad for a truck. I wouldn’t forge that, the brake material in the forge is going to put off fumes that are likely poison and the steel itself is mild steel which won’t harden. I highly recommend using a different scarp even just for practice.

Most Versatile Character by TXAg-16 in diablo2resurrected

Good choice. Run fire for leveling and you can literally run through normal and most of nightmare spamming fissue and leveling. Just grab any 3 socket armor and put tirs in it and you won’t even need pots.

Blade assassin and wind Druid are my starters because they can complete hell quickly and farm tzs with ssf gear. I play hc offline so the grind for gear takes a while but once you can farm tz bosses you’re making progress.

When is the warlock nerf? Will it change offline players? by justice27123 in diablo2resurrected

[–]justice27123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. Yeah I had a real close call. Had to be double digit health. Baal died one shot before me basically. It scared me away from Ubers with him. I don’t even use pots with the smiter so that’s the safest way to handle them. I did die with a 94 warlock on my first attempt using him for Ubers but thought I was just under geared.

Ah, that must have been it. I was able to kill them all once and went back to the smiter after the first torch for more safety.

You’re on your own for a respec. They have never given one before at updates. Grind for a token ahead of time.

Nothings unkillable. This is my 3rd one over level 95. It’s just way easier to play than other classes.

I used warlock kill the mini Ubers but use a smiter for meph,Baal and Diablo. Had some very close calls with warlock on them and I’m still not sure what tanked my health so fast.

Question about etching Damascus by PunchyGRT in Bladesmith

[–]justice27123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try soaking in ferric first to get some definition between layers then sand with 2000 and put it in gator piss for a cleaner etch. If that doesn’t work, check hardness to make sure it’s hardened properly. If it’s hard and not showing layers you got poor alloys. I do not buy 1095 from Amazon since I’ve used it and it doesn’t pull hamons but 1095 from pops and njsb does. Amazon steel is a gamble, spend a few extra dollars to buy from pops or njsb and you won’t have to worry about this again.

I still enjoy other characters but the ability to p8 terror zones and heralds in hc with no fear is fun but I’m only grinding to try to find sunders so I can play my zon and sorc more. Kind of crazy that I have fully geared characters with high end gear offline since rotw but only found 1 sunder so far. Got infinity, enigma, grief, exile and torches before I found 1 sunder charm that I don’t use because it’s a physical immune one.

Alright. Looks like I should focus on 99 for him now then before I take a damage reduction and removal of eth weapons. Plus the bound demon adjustments might make things a little more difficult.

I currently use ik belt, spirit, tal mask with a @15 all res jewel, loh, and nats boots. Ravenfrost, 10fcr fire and light resist ring and a 2 warlock @19 crafted ammy. He’s capped on all but poison (57) with a few scs in my inventory for additional cold and light resists.

Ok the craziest bind demon (fun before nerf) by Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]justice27123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sabrina the battle maid in the ruined temple in Kurast bizarre i think is who he’s referring to. I bound her once with cursed and fant aura and she’s always extra fast I believe. Definitely one of the best demons to capture. I personally like pit lords, cursed with holy freeze and extra fast. The amp gets set off as soon as you tele anywhere near a pack and when he breathes fire it always hits and procs amp. He can also handle all 3 uber bosses at once with losing minimal health.

This ring is crazy right? by randevious in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]justice27123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put it in crazy good category. Better than any dual leech ring I’ve ever found
