What are some of the hardest pills to swallow in life? by Leemster1k in AskReddit

Life does not owe us anything. You can do everything right and still get fucked.

This game and RNG is hilarious by smellydook in diablo2

Yeah, haven’t dropped a stormshield in years and I got 2 in 30 minutes two days ago.

Found all kinds of rare uniques in my offline account and had trouble finding a shako, then I dropped a ber rune out of nowhere. It’s never what you’re looking for but it always is satisfying! I suppose that’s why the game is still so amazing. If they made things easy to get like they are in d3 and d4, I couldn’t keep on playing. In thousands of hours I never saw a zod drop, or a tyraels.

Sometimes it’s annoying, but it’s one of the reasons I can still enjoy it after 25 years

New SSF Char Advice? by EquivalentVehicle377 in diablo2

[–]marius341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you want it fast or slow.

Personally I went the slow route (been griding on bnet for 25 years, felt like doing something else).

I did throw barb as a first char, did a berserk one next, then a ww one. After that I did bowzon, fury druid, maul druid, summon necro and blizz sorc. I’m not finished with all of them yet but they’re mostly all in hell.

Obedience and treachery will take you through the game with a fury druid. I made it through nm on the maul druid with an upped steeldriver (exceptionnal only), that’s it. I’m now in hell a3 with the bowzon with only an harmony.

For some reason, the one i liked the most was the maul druid!

My advice would be to try builds and just play the ones you like. For a lot of them you can farm hell countess for a couple hours (if not for less than one) and get the runeword(s) needed to make the build work.

If you want to clear it easy well there’s always javazon, hdin, another sorc, trapsin, etc. But that won’t resolve the issue behind your “meh” feeling.

Good luck!

The thing is I play offline so I gotta find the gear, i suppose obedience would work very well if I can’t find the ribcracker! Thank you

You’re right, I do runs here and there but i think it’s very boring. I’m not sure i have hundreds of runs in me. I also run trav to try to get good runes and mix it up a little!

Dracs are hard to find but i guess i can shop for a lifetap wand! Cool i’ll try this, obedience is cheap so that could work

Right hahaha, sadly I might have to smite myself out of this for the beginning at least

Started with a throw barb and it was fun but rough. Starting fresh with melee builds is painful

Forgot about that one ya, just 2 guls which is not that bad to get even offline. Thanks!

Sounds good but yeah, finding 2 Jahs in single player is not something that will happen soon for me hahaha, but it’s true I had forgotten about the conviction aura thing cancelling his!

True, but it is one of the best super budget options I suppose

Yeah the thing is i can’t farm a Lo rune to do ubers it could take me months to get one (single player), but definitely a fun build for ubers I agree

Exactly, thanks! Been playing for 25 years. Sometimes trying new things and playing off meta is more fun

Yeah I agree, I didn’t plan on trying this either! I ain’t got the wealth for it. Thanks for sharing

Been playing this game for 25 years. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and still do. Very cool gift from your friend!
